Thinking it was a text sent by Vinson, Arielle jolted up and grabbed favonovel.com phone from the bedside table.
When favonovel.com saw who it was, the delight in favonovel.com gaze faded away. It was a text from Sam informing favonovel.com of the location and time of the contract signing.
She typed out a reply, “Got it.”
After favonovel.com returned to favonovel.com bed, favonovel.com mind began to race.
It’s midnight in Lightspring. Is Vinson sleeping alone? Or is there another woman in his arms?
Arielle bristled in annoyance and got up to wash up.
Downstairs, the housekeeper had just woken up. She seemed surprised to see Arielle up and about. “Mrs. Nightshire, you’re up early. Let me go prepare your breakfast now.”
“No need.” Arielle told her, “I’ll eat outside today.”
The housekeeper gave favonovel.com the once-over. Realizing favonovel.com employer seemed grumpy, favonovel.com didn’t ask questions and inclined favonovel.com head. “All right, Mrs. Nightshire.”
Her appointment with Sam was at noon, so favonovel.com had to keep herself busy before that. It was the only way to stop herself from overthinking.
Taking a deep breath, Arielle pulled the door open to see a deliveryman about to press on the doorbell.
Stunned, the man asked, “Are you Ms. Arielle Moore?”
Arielle nodded. “Yes, I am.”
“There’s an urgent parcel for you. Please sign here.”
“Mine?”
Arielle couldn’t hide favonovel.com astonishment.
I don’t shop online. Is this from Vinson?
After signing favonovel.com name, favonovel.com returned inside with the parcel. She ripped the parcel apart to reveal two photos.
The photos floated to the ground, and Arielle immediately picked them up. Her gaze landed on one photo. At once, favonovel.com halted in favonovel.com steps as the colors drained from favonovel.com face.
The photo showed Vinson and a woman favonovel.com hadn’t met before, huddled together in an intimate position. Only Vinson’s side profile was visible, but favonovel.com was sure it was him. There was no way she’d fail to recognize favonovel.com own husband.
Her hands were shaking as favonovel.com reached out for the second photo.
In the second photo, Vinson’s face was practically glued to the woman’s face. The space between them crackled with sexual tension.
Shocked senseless, Arielle only snapped back to reality when the housekeeper asked why favonovel.com was kneeling on the ground. Stuffing the photos into favonovel.com pocket, favonovel.com got to favonovel.com feet and replied, “I’m fine. I was picking something up from the ground.”
The housekeeper inclined favonovel.com head and asked in concern, “Mrs. Nightshire, are you all right? You look unwell. Should you get a checkup at the hospital?”
Arielle flashed a bitter smile and shook favonovel.com head. “I’m fine.”
She was a doctor herself and knew favonovel.com health was fine. It was favonovel.com heart that was hurting. Though favonovel.com had picked the photos up, favonovel.com heart had shattered into pieces. The photos had confirmed the nagging thought that kept favonovel.com up the entire night.
Arielle clenched favonovel.com fists tight. She didn’t even know favonovel.com nails had dug deep into favonovel.com palms.
Despite favonovel.com fury and sadness, favonovel.com couldn’t stop suspicion from rising in favonovel.com heart.
Who sent me the photos? If Vinson has someone new, why is favonovel.com still with me? Did favonovel.com do this to get Sann Group? No, that’s impossible.
Arielle shook that thought away.
He isn’t a scoundrel. There must be more to this than meets the eye.
She picked up the packaging of the parcel from the dustbin to find out the sender’s address. Alas, that section was blank.
