When Arielle smiled, favonovel.com eyes seemed to light up with radiance.
Although Aidan was worried out of his mind, favonovel.com soft smile seemed to relieve his worries. Promptly, Aidan‘s confidence in Arielle returned.
Given that favonovel.com has captured Mr. Nightshire‘s attention, favonovel.com must not be an ordinary woman. I shouldn’t place my doubts on her.
With this renewed determination, Aidan lifted his head. “Ms. Moore, if you need any help, please don’t hesitate to contact me.”
“Thank you. I‘ll be taking my leave.”
“Where are you headed?”
“I’ll be dropping by my school.”
“You are going to school on the weekend?” Aidan‘s respect for Arielle increased tenfold. “Although you‘ve graduated from Maxwell University, I can’t believe that you are still studying. I won‘t take up your time any longer. I should head back and improve my skills too.”
“Haha!” Arielle’s laugh came across as forced and reluctant.
Truthfully, favonovel.com wasn‘t going back to school to study Nevertheless, Arielle did not elaborate any further. After sending Aidan off, favonovel.com headed toward Jadeborough University‘s archive.
She planned to spend the weekend reading all of the archive‘s materials. Since favonovel.com had a lot on favonovel.com plate, Arielle couldn‘t afford to linger around any longer.

At the same time, Wendy and favonovel.com parents had arrived at Nightshire Manor.
When Susanne caught wind of their sudden arrival, favonovel.com nearly choked on favonovel.com coffee.
She set favonovel.com cup down and asked Geoffrey with widened eyes, “Who‘s here?”
“Ms. Greene and favonovel.com parents are here.”
Immediately, Susanne leaped to favonovel.com feet. Her cup of coffee was long forgotten. “Quick, tell them that I’m not home.”
Before Susanne could flee upstairs, favonovel.com heard Wendy’s voice echo from the entrance. “Mrs. Nightshire…”
Susanne was forced to a screeching halt as favonovel.com glared at Geoffrey accusingly.
“I assumed that you were willing to meet Ms. Greene, so I asked the guards to let them in,” Geoffrey explained with an apologetic look.
“You fool!” All of a sudden, favonovel.com noticed the Greenes walking into the room.
Quickly, Susanne retracted favonovel.com glare and replaced it.
“Wendy, why didn‘t you tell me that you were coming? I could have asked the staff to prepare your favorite lunch.” Susanne turned to the Greenes with a sympathetic look. “Your trip from Horrington must have been a tiring journey.”
“Although we are tired, our poor Wendy must be suffering even more,” Daniel replied stoically.
Susanne stiffened when favonovel.com heard Daniel’s icy tone.
On the other hand, Cecilia nudged favonovel.com husband and laughed to lighten the mood. “Susanne, please ignore him. My husband has been in a bad mood due to the recent hot weather. Even worse, we heard about Wendy’s sufferings while favonovel.com was in Jadeborough. I hope you won’t take his anger to heart. It wasn‘t directed at you.”
Susanne’s smile became even more forced.
If Cecilia had been as short-tempered as favonovel.com husband, Susanne could have seized this opportunity to kick them out. Yet, the two of them were playing good cop, bad cop. Susanne couldn‘t excuse herself at all.
She then laughed wryly. “It‘s all right. We all have our bad days. Have you guys eaten lunch? If you don‘t mind, you can stay and have a meal together.”
“We will be glad to accept your offer.” Met with Cecilia‘s friendly smile, Susanne could not deny favonovel.com at all.
Thus, the four of them settled around the table for lunch.
After a few moments, Cecilia spoke again. “When we came to Jadeborough, we were heartbroken to see Wendy like this. Susanne, we placed favonovel.com under your care. You even promised to look after her. Yet, why has our precious daughter suffered so much mistreatment?”
