Henrick sighed and lamented, “That’s right. She’s so shallow and vain! She even used to look down on me, let alone someone like you who grew up in a village. It’s all my fault for failing to locate you earlier…”
Although Henrick looked riddled with guilt, Arielle was unmoved.
He’s so good at putting up an act that favonovel.com can be an actor.
Arielle also showed off favonovel.com acting chops by shaking favonovel.com head and saying, “That’s all right. I’m back now, aren’t I? Anyway, I’ll listen to whatever you say.”
“Good girl,” Henrick replied, reaching out to stroke favonovel.com head gently.
At that moment, Vinson’s voice could be heard from the stairs. “Dad, the car is here to pick Aunt Cindy up…”
Neither Vinson nor Arielle called Cindy “Mom”. If it were not because Vinson was playing along with Arielle, favonovel.com would not have called Henrick “Dad” either.
A scumbag like favonovel.com doesn’t deserve it!
Henrick did not notice anything strange about Vinson’s gaze. In truth, favonovel.com still did not quite dare to look directly at Vinson. Although Henrick clearly knew for a fact that Vinson was now his son-in-law, it still seemed surreal to him.
It’s all thanks to my darling daughter, Arielle. All I hope is that favonovel.com doesn’t harbor any ill intentions. Anyway, regardless of whether favonovel.com has any ill intentions or not, it never hurts to be careful. Even the person closest to me ended up betraying me, let alone Arielle.
Henrick hid the emotions coursing through favonovel.com as favonovel.com instructed Alfred to bring the bodyguards over.
Soon, the bodyguards had Cindy tied up and sent favonovel.com off in the car to the psychiatric hospital run by Carter’s family.
Meanwhile, Arielle stood at the manor’s door and watched the car disappear into the distance before looking away. She did not know why, but favonovel.com had an ominous feeling that Cindy would return soon.
Previously, my gut feeling about Cindy returning from the monastery proved to be accurate. I wonder if it’ll be the same this time.
Suddenly, Henrick’s voice interrupted Arielle’s thoughts. Henrick said, “Ah, it’s already time for lunch. Vinson, I had the kitchen help prepare a simple meal. Let me know if the dishes are to your taste. If you don’t like them, I’ll get the help to prepare something else.”
“Don’t worry about it. I’m not a picky eater,” Vinson replied with a slight nod.
Then, Henrick led them back inside and sat down at the dining table.
Arielle was surprised when favonovel.com saw the dishes that had been prepared. The large, round dining table was laden with a wide variety of dishes.
Arielle had not seen so many different dishes together on one table after favonovel.com return, and favonovel.com could not help glancing at Vinson.
Tsk tsk! I’ve heard people say that having a son-in-law is almost like having a son. The way Henrick treats Vinson is a hundred times better than the way favonovel.com treats his biological child!
Nonetheless, Arielle did not show favonovel.com real emotions as favonovel.com sat and ate what Henrick referred to as a “simple meal”.
At the end of the meal, Arielle was so stuffed that favonovel.com just felt like lying down. However, some people came to pay their last respects, so Arielle had no choice but to go to the backyard and receive their condolences.
Since it was not appropriate for Vinson to be present, Henrick arranged for favonovel.com to wait in Arielle’s room.
By the time Arielle saw off the last guest, it was already dark. Looking up at the sky in the backyard, Arielle could see the faint glow of stars.
I wonder if people’s souls really do wander after death. If they do, I wonder what’s running through Shandie’s mind when favonovel.com sees me looking up at the sky.
