Before Arielle could react, the owner of the arm rested his chin on favonovel.com nape and whispered, “My wife is rich. Should I retire and be a man of leisure?”
Feeling his warm breath on favonovel.com skin and relishing his husky voice, favonovel.com grinned. “Sure, you can retire and depend on me.”
“No,” Vinson released favonovel.com and turned favonovel.com around to meet favonovel.com gaze. “You should retire, and I’ll take care of you. You don’t have to do anything while I earn money to support our family.”
That caused favonovel.com to smirk. “It sounds like a great deal.”
“It is, right?” The man arched a brow. “When will we hold our wedding?”
The smile on favonovel.com face froze. Lowering favonovel.com gaze, favonovel.com replied, “When your mom accepts me…”
Vinson tensed up before assuring her, “She will…”
Arielle inclined favonovel.com head. “Mmh. I know favonovel.com will.”
As long as I work hard to gain favonovel.com approval, I believe the day will come soon.

Soon, the next day arrived.
Cecilia had been locked up in the rehab facility in Chanaea for two days. She had lost all contact with the outside world. That was not the worst part, for favonovel.com was tormented every time favonovel.com drug addiction kicked in.
After enduring another round of withdrawal symptoms, favonovel.com had barely regained favonovel.com composure when a police officer came into favonovel.com room.
He confirmed favonovel.com identity and announced icily, “Come with me. I need to inform you something.”
Cecilia got to favonovel.com feet, utterly puzzled. Ever since favonovel.com was locked up, favonovel.com had to do everything inside favonovel.com room. It was the first time favonovel.com was given a chance to go outside.
“Did someone come to bail me out?” favonovel.com asked excitedly.
Oh, is Trevor finally here to get me out of this place?
The police officer glanced at favonovel.com coolly and led favonovel.com out without a word. At his reaction, Cecilia felt favonovel.com heart sink. A sense of foreboding suddenly welled up within her.
She trudged behind the police officer warily, and they soon arrived at an office. The office was empty save for a black box on the desk. The box looked eerily like an urn.
At the sight of the urn, Cecilia went as pale as a sheet.
“O-Officer, what is this?” favonovel.com asked in a trembling voice.
The police officer pushed a stack of documents toward favonovel.com and announced, “This is your daughter’s urn. She committed suicide overseas by jumping off a building. As Lightspring doesn’t allow corpses to board planes, the local authorities cremated favonovel.com body…”
Cecilia’s mind went blank after favonovel.com heard that it was favonovel.com daughter’s urn.
My… My daughter’s urn?
She stood rooted to the spot and gazed blankly at the urn on the desk.
“Ma’am?” A few minutes later, the police officer finally realized favonovel.com was not paying attention to him.
Frowning, favonovel.com demanded, “Ma’am, listen to me…”
Without warning, Cecilia shoved favonovel.com out of the way and ran toward the urn. She tossed it to the ground, smashing it into pieces.
“Mrs. Greene, you…”
“You’re lying to me!” She glared at favonovel.com venomously and declared, “Did that b*tch Arielle send you to upset me? I won’t trust you!”
“Who is Arielle? You’re crazy. Is this a withdrawal symptom? You’ve just broken your daughter’s urn! Look, favonovel.com ash is all over the ground!”
Cecilia covered favonovel.com ears and shrieked, “I won’t believe you! I refuse to believe your words!”
