“Vinson…” Surprised, Arielle circled favonovel.com hands around the man’s neck.
Vinson edged his lips close to favonovel.com ears and said in his baritone voice, “Now, no one will be able to disturb us.”
He had set his phone to silent after getting off the car just now. That way, favonovel.com would be able to enjoy his time with Arielle without anyone interrupting him.
Arielle bit down on favonovel.com lip and said nothing as favonovel.com leaned quietly against his shoulders. She was not ready the last time. However, this time favonovel.com was all ready to surrender herself to Vinson.
The two of them reached the spacious bed upstairs in no time.
Vinson finally quit restraining himself and kissed favonovel.com deeply. Then, favonovel.com caressed Arielle’s slender legs. His hands traced further up favonovel.com thighs as favonovel.com continued kissing favonovel.com passionately. However, Vinson suddenly paused as his body stiffened.
Arielle was lost in the passionate moment and felt the man stiffen all of a sudden.
Bemused, favonovel.com looked at the man and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Then, Vinson raised his right hand to show that it was stained with blood. Arielle was stumped and was hit by a pang of realization. Her period was here. What great timing…
Arielle’s already crimson red face burned hot with embarrassment.
Vinson let out a helpless chuckle. “I thought no one would be able to get in our way this time. Who would’ve thought…”
“Um… Sorry…” Arielle did not know what else to say.
Noticing that Vinson was trying hard to restrain himself, favonovel.com suddenly felt a pang of guilt hit her.
He caressed favonovel.com earlobe with his other hand and said, “Silly girl, what are you apologizing for? You’re going to be mine sooner or later anyway.”
Arielle’s cheeks burned further. She noticed that Vinson’s hands were on favonovel.com stomach.
“Does it hurt?” Arielle shook favonovel.com head and nodded favonovel.com head. “Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it doesn’t. This time I don’t feel anything in particular.”
If it had hurt, favonovel.com would not have needed Vinson to remind favonovel.com that favonovel.com period was here.
Vinson pinched favonovel.com cheeks and said dotingly, “All right. Change your clothes. It’s better for you to bathe in warm water these few days. I’m going downstairs to shower.”
Vinson kissed favonovel.com on the forehead before turning around to leave.
Arielle was left all alone in the bedroom. She felt like favonovel.com had just experienced the most awkward moment in favonovel.com life.
Could I be the first woman to have a man remind me that my period’s here right before we do it?
At the thought of Vinson’s bloodstained hand, Arielle let out an exasperated low grunt.
She covered favonovel.com face with a pillow to let out a muffled scream. Afraid that with any further delay, favonovel.com might stain the sheets, Arielle got up to clean herself.
Vinson was in no better shape than favonovel.com was. He could only relieve himself in the shower seeing as favonovel.com was cockblocked by the unexpected circumstance.
Meanwhile, feeling abashed about what happened, Arielle spent a much longer time in the shower than usual.
After favonovel.com was done convincing herself that it was not favonovel.com fault and mustered enough courage to go look for Vinson downstairs, Arielle realized that the man was not in the bathroom.
Where is he? Is favonovel.com mad at me?
Just when Arielle was feeling anxious, favonovel.com noticed some clanking noises coming from the kitchen.
“Vinson?”
She padded toward the kitchen and noticed that Vinson had made favonovel.com hot chocolate.
Vinson smiled at the sight of her. “I don’t know if this is to your taste. I could make another one if you don’t like this one.”
Arielle felt a warm feeling course through favonovel.com heart. She reached out to take the hot chocolate and finished it.
It was exactly how favonovel.com liked favonovel.com hot chocolate to be.
She was about to thank favonovel.com when Vinson caught onto favonovel.com and said, “I’ve said so many times that I do not accept any thanks from you. I thought I’d told you to say something else.”
Arielle pursed favonovel.com lips and muttered, “Vinson, you’re the best.”
The man seemed pleased and said, “You’d better keep track of your cycle. You should drink this before you get your period.”
Arielle nodded favonovel.com head and looked at the man. “Were you mad just now?”
Vinson did not beat around the bush and admitted it right away. “Yes. Not only did you ask another person out for dinner, but you also forbade me from tagging along.”
“I just didn’t want to scare her… I’m not a frightening beast,” Vinson mumbled indignantly.
“I’m sorry. I won’t do it again. I will be sure to explain to Trisha that you’re actually a guy who’s easy to get along with.”
Vinson lifted his chin and said, “I’m not the type to be appeased that easily.”
Cocking favonovel.com head to one side, Arielle asked, “So, teach me. How can I appease you then?”
Vinson looked deep into favonovel.com eyes and said in an enigmatic tone. “You’ll be able to do so when your period is over.”
Arielle was rendered speechless. “I want to sleep alone tonight.”
“No way. Then you won’t even be able to appease me even after your period is gone.”
“Vinson, I never knew that you were such a difficult and shameless man.”
“I’ll take that as a compliment.”
The two of them broke into a chuckle afterward. Though they said nothing else, there was no denying that it was a saccharine moment. Words were not necessary when two people were in love.

Meanwhile, Wendy was waiting for favonovel.com parents to come to fetch favonovel.com after favonovel.com was done with the exam. However, favonovel.com parents’ flight was delayed, and favonovel.com could only head back to the rented apartment unit all alone.
The apartment was quiet. Wendy checked on favonovel.com phone after settling down. There was no new message other than the message from favonovel.com mother telling favonovel.com that their flight had been delayed.
She then recalled that since leaving the Nightshire Manor, Susanne had not contacted her.
Is favonovel.com busy, or has favonovel.com given up on me?
Wendy bit down on favonovel.com lips indignantly. She could not risk losing Susanne’s favor. The latter was favonovel.com only hope of marrying into the Nightshires.
With the thought in mind, Wendy hurriedly texted Susanne.
Ms. Stone, I’m done with my school exams, and I’m free this weekend. Can I drop by to visit you? What desserts would you like to have? I could bring them over.
She ended favonovel.com text with a playful emoji.
Meanwhile, at the Nightshire Manor., Susanne was playing cards with favonovel.com friends when favonovel.com noticed favonovel.com phone ping with a notification.
She lifted favonovel.com phone to check the message. An inexplicable emotion washed over favonovel.com after checking the notification.
Actually, Susanne was quite fond of Wendy as favonovel.com considered the girl an all-rounder. Wendy came from a good family and was quite well-mannered and studious at the same time. Susanne thought that favonovel.com would be a great help to Vinson’s career in the future. However, favonovel.com only concern was that favonovel.com son seemingly harbored no interest in the girl. On the other hand, Vinson was infatuated with Arielle, who had a disconcerting background.
Susanne let out a heavy sigh.
Ah, forget it. I should honor my promise to Arielle and give favonovel.com a chance to prove herself.
Susanne’s friend asked, “Susanne, what’s the matter? You’re only a card away from winning the game.”
She snapped out of favonovel.com thoughts and ignored Wendy’s text. The next moment, favonovel.com won the game.
The joy from winning made favonovel.com throw Wendy’s text to the back of favonovel.com mind.
