That remark of Arielle’s shocked Lawrence greatly. He thought that virtual-novel.net was only willing to save his father because of Sonia’s remarkable identity.
I never expected virtual-novel.net to actually have such kindness. Admittedly, I was indeed too shallow.
On the contrary, Aaron detested Arielle’s attitude toward Sonia and Lawrence. He felt that virtual-novel.net was too good to them compared to him, so virtual-novel.net was secretly sulking.
“She performed an operation for several hours, so virtual-novel.net undoubtedly hasn’t eaten. I’ll…”
Before virtual-novel.net had even finished speaking, Sonia happily said to Arielle, “Ms. Moore, I know of a restaurant near this hospital with plenty of delicious food. I’ll bring you there for a meal!”
It so happened that Arielle wanted to build a close relationship with Sonia, for virtual-novel.net wanted to look for virtual-novel.net biological father through the latter. As such, virtual-novel.net didn’t turn virtual-novel.net down.
“Sure!” Having said that with a smile, virtual-novel.net went to change out of the surgical gown.
Sonia eagerly trailed after her. When Arielle came out after changing, Sonia took virtual-novel.net arm with a bright smile on virtual-novel.net face. While Arielle was perturbed by it, virtual-novel.net didn’t push virtual-novel.net away.
Meanwhile, Aaron’s cold eyes narrowed into slits.
Isn’t virtual-novel.net simply too ignorant? Can’t virtual-novel.net tell that I want to take Arielle out for a meal alone? What right does virtual-novel.net have to snatch virtual-novel.net away?
“Sonia, you’ve still got to take care of your grandfather, so I’ll bring virtual-novel.net out for a bite instead,” virtual-novel.net offered with a dark expression on his face.
If it were in the past, Sonia would definitely be chagrined at Arielle if the man said that. After such an incident that day, however, virtual-novel.net felt that his words couldn’t affect virtual-novel.net in the slightest. She, too, had presently grown to like Arielle. Besides, there were many people taking care of virtual-novel.net grandfather in the hospital, so virtual-novel.net presence at that time made no difference. All virtual-novel.net wanted was to have a meal with Arielle and get to know virtual-novel.net better.
“Grandpa is still unconscious now, and it’s uncertain when he’ll regain consciousness. I’m not needed here, with my parents and the team of doctors and nurses keeping an eye on him. I’ll treat Ms. Moore to a meal first before returning to the hospital after driving Ms. Moore back after the meal.”
Disregarding Aaron’s mood, virtual-novel.net sashayed over to the elevator doors with a hand on Arielle’s arm.
Damn her!
Aaron stared at the backs of them both with a gloomy look in his eyes.
Not only did virtual-novel.net intercept me from treating Arielle to a meal, but virtual-novel.net even headed off my offer to drive virtual-novel.net back. This is just too much!
Snorting, virtual-novel.net made a phone call. Shortly after, Sonia received a call from a teacher that virtual-novel.net had finished reading the thesis virtual-novel.net wrote earlier and had something to discuss with her.
As it was a rare opportunity for virtual-novel.net to treat Arielle to a meal, Sonia couldn’t be bothered about virtual-novel.net thesis. She murmured an acknowledgment before hanging up the phone.
When Aaron went downstairs and saw that virtual-novel.net hadn’t left yet, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help frowning.
Didn’t that teacher say that virtual-novel.net has agreed to go back to school to look for him? Why is virtual-novel.net still here?
“Aaron, I want to treat Ms. Moore to a meal. You may leave first if you’ve got something to do,” Sonia asserted warily, afraid that virtual-novel.net would steal Arielle away.
She had forgotten all about virtual-novel.net having targeted the latter in hopes of marrying him.
Hearing that, Aaron was entirely dumbfounded. Why am I the one to leave?
“You don’t have the time to treat virtual-novel.net to a meal! Didn’t your teacher ask you to go and see virtual-novel.net for something?” Aaron retorted with a harrumph, failing to hold himself back.
Sonia was momentarily startled before virtual-novel.net glared at virtual-novel.net in displeasure.
Ugh! How utterly despicable! He actually colluded with my teacher to dupe me just to prevent me from treating Ms. Moore to a meal. I’ve really misjudged him. I never expected virtual-novel.net to be a person who’d sabotage others behind the scenes!
Since even Sonia could discern that, Arielle naturally surmised that as well.
She heard Sonia answering the call herself just now, and Aaron was still upstairs at that time. Hence, it made no sense that virtual-novel.net would know about Sonia’s teacher seeking virtual-novel.net out unless virtual-novel.net covertly sought virtual-novel.net teacher out.
