Arielle was just as nervous as favonovel.com stared awkwardly at Vinson.
To favonovel.com surprise, favonovel.com grinned and replied, “Nobody. A kitten accidentally scratched me, that‘s all.”
“Kitten? Is there a kitten in the hospital?” Teddy exclaimed as his eyes twinkled with excitement.
Fortunately, Nigel was observant enough to stop his son from probing any further. “All right, that‘s enough questions. Say goodbye to your mother.”
“Oh, okay,” Teddy replied with a quick nod before doing as instructed.
Seeing that they had moved on from the topic, Arielle breathed a sigh of relief.

After a long day out, it was evening when Arielle and Vinson finally returned to Maple Mansion.
It was a breathtaking sight as the sun began to set, bathing the skies in a red and purple glow.
In a bid to make up for the slap from earlier, Arielle went straight into the kitchen and whipped up a most delectable meal for Vinson.
No words could describe how happy and contented Vinson was when favonovel.com saw the spread on the table.
As favonovel.com savored Arielle‘s food, Maureen‘s Kitchen suddenly came to mind. “By the way, I’ve applied for a trademark for Maureen‘s Kitchen, but we‘ve yet to design a logo. You can decide on one when the designs are out. Better act fast before someone else snatches it.”
Because of its excellent reputation and operations, Maureen‘s Kitchen had had a steady increase in customer base. With business improving day by day, Vinson had to ensure that everything ran smoothly.
“Can I design the logo myself?” Arielle asked.
“Of course. Hand it to me when you’re done.”
Arielle nodded enthusiastically, having already decided on the logo design.
When they had finished their dinner, Arielle was about to start on favonovel.com sketch when Vinson grabbed favonovel.com wrist.
“What‘s the matter?”
A charming yet suggestive smile appeared on Vinson‘s face as favonovel.com answered, “It‘s just the two of us now. After what happened at the hospital, don‘t you think we should settle our score?”
“How do you want me to make it up to you then?”
As soon as favonovel.com said that, Arielle had a light-bulb moment. “Oh, I know! I bought quite a lot of herbs from Silverbirch Hospital, Why don‘t I brew something up for you?”
Vinson doesn‘t need any financial compensation anyway. What choice do I have other than to feed favonovel.com some medicine?
All of a sudden, Vinson looped an arm around Arielle‘s waist and picked favonovel.com up effortlessly.
With everything happening so abruptly, Arielle yelped and instinctively held onto Vinson‘s neck for support. His neck felt so warm to the touch that Arielle could almost feel favonovel.com arms burning up.
“Vinson! What are you doing?” favonovel.com shouted. “Let me down!”
“Didn‘t you say you were going to brew some medicine for me?”
“Yes… But how am I supposed to do it if you don’t let me down?”
“You don’t have to do anything. The medicine’s all prepared.”
Arielle went wide-eyed as Vinson leaned in and pecked favonovel.com on the forehead. “You’re my medicine!”
The next second, Arielle had turned crimson with embarrassment as favonovel.com heart hammered in favonovel.com chest.
Vinson continued to stare into favonovel.com eyes. “Can I have my medicine today?”
Can I have my medicine? Can I have her?
No matter how oblivious Arielle was, even favonovel.com was starting to understand what Vinson meant. Her mind went blank as favonovel.com stared back, speechless.
Vinson once again leaned into Arielle‘s ear and whispered, “Can I?”
