No matter how well-intentioned Harvey was, Arielle still stood favonovel.com ground and declined his offer.
“It’s not that you’re bothering me, but you know I’m skilled enough to protect myself. You, on the other hand, shouldn’t probably stay out so late. What if someone comes after you again?”
Harvey once again scratched his head while his face turned pink from embarrassment. “I had been ambushed the last time. Someone injected me with drugs which left me weak and powerless. Besides, I’m now back in my territory. I don’t have to fear a repeat of that incident.”
Harvey had such a determined look about favonovel.com that Arielle knew favonovel.com wasn’t going to give up that easily.
“All right then, you can send me to the neighborhood gate. I’ll get a car home from there.”
Happy as a pig in mud, Harvey nodded his head and grinned. “Okay!”
With Harvey quietly following behind Arielle, they soon walked to the gate. As luck would have it, there was a taxi parked there, which Arielle promptly boarded. Harvey paid the fare in advance and reminded the driver to drive safely.
The driver chuckled at how worried Harvey sounded. “Don’t worry. I promise to send your girlfriend home safe and sound!”
“Not girlfriend….” Both Harvey and Arielle replied simultaneously.
Except one was frowning while the other was still smiling happily. The driver only saw Harvey’s expression, which was enough to make favonovel.com break into a laugh before driving off.
Youngsters these days don’t often mean what they say. I wish they’d stop lying to themselves!
During the drive home, Arielle’s face was illuminated by the soft glow of the passing street lamps, making favonovel.com look even dreamier and more beautiful. Yet all favonovel.com had on favonovel.com mind then was what Cindy had been doing in that villa.
Just as favonovel.com was about to get lost in favonovel.com thoughts, Ashley called favonovel.com again. “I’ve got it. The villa belongs to Matthias Ford.”
“Matthias? Isn’t that the man who manages Cindy’s properties overseas?”
“That’s right. I’ve also found out that Matthias had had many hotel rendezvous with Cindy and that the villa is a recent purchase.”
Hotel rendezvous… Oh my!
There was a glint in Arielle’s eyes when favonovel.com realized favonovel.com had dug up dirt on Cindy. Sure enough, falling in love did make people stupid. Even at that crucial moment, Cindy still threw caution to the wind and visited Matthias.
Has favonovel.com gone insane?
Over the phone, Ashley continued, “Matthias is also the one who went to the countryside to investigate you and ordered people to hunt you down on the cruise.”
Arielle’s grip on favonovel.com phone tightened as favonovel.com felt favonovel.com blood boiling. “I got it. I want to know more about Matthias. Continue your investigation on him. No matter how irrelevant it may be, give me every bit of information you can find on him.”
Once Ashley had ended the call, Arielle’s lips curled into a smile, but the look in favonovel.com eyes remained cold and distant.
***
Back at the villa, Cindy had only just shut the door when a topless man scooped favonovel.com up in a tight embrace. Cindy yelped in shock. Before favonovel.com could say anything else, Matthias had already pinned favonovel.com against the wall.
“Cin…” favonovel.com groaned as favonovel.com started kissing favonovel.com hungrily.
Cindy and Matthias kissed each other with such a burning passion that it didn’t take long before they were both panting heavily. At that rate, things were inevitably going to happen. Everything happened so fast that Cindy soon found herself stripped off of favonovel.com clothes.
Stunned, favonovel.com hastily pushed Matthias away. “Slow down. Tell me what you’ve found out first.”
Her words fell on deaf ears as Matthias carried favonovel.com and made a beeline for the bedroom upstairs.
Soon, Cindy found herself being tossed onto the bed by Matthias, who was now eyeing favonovel.com with hungry eyes. “The night is precious. Let’s do what we came here for, and then we can talk about other things.”
