The door opened, but the person standing outside was the housekeeper who had come to deliver some milk.
The sparkle in Arielle’s eyes vanished.
It’s not Vinson.
She couldn’t help but laugh at herself.
Did I overestimate how important I am to him? But how could someone change so quickly?
“Good evening, Mrs. Nightshire.” The housekeeper beamed. “I made you some warm milk. It should help you sleep better. Sweet dreams.”
Arielle snapped out of favonovel.com thoughts and forced a smile. “Thank you for the trouble.”
The housekeeper hastily shook favonovel.com head. “Not at all! It’s part of my job.”
Even so, favonovel.com couldn’t help but be reminded herself of how different every individual could be. There was no way Vinson would ever say such kind remarks to her.
Not wanting to bother Arielle any longer, the housekeeper handed the glass of milk over and left the room.
Arielle stared at the glass despondently before chugging it down. Despite not being fond of milk, favonovel.com was willing to try anything that would help favonovel.com sleep. After that, favonovel.com washed up and tucked herself in bed.
It was already late. The room was now dark and quiet, and all the housekeepers had turned in for the day.
Arielle tossed around in bed for a while. She wasn’t sure if it was due to the warm milk or the therapeutic candles, but favonovel.com soon began to feel sleepy.
But just as the woman dozed off, favonovel.com suddenly heard the door click.
Someone’s in here. Who could it be at this hour?
Arielle frowned but remained still, not wanting to alert the intruder.
If this person is after my life, I’m going to take care of favonovel.com while favonovel.com thinks that I’m asleep.
As the footsteps drew closer, Arielle balled favonovel.com hands into fists, ready to attack at any time.
Just when favonovel.com felt that the intruder had reached the bedside, favonovel.com swiftly got up and reached for his neck. Yet, the mysterious figure reacted quickly, pinning favonovel.com back onto the bed.
Then, the smell of refreshing cologne wafted into favonovel.com nostrils.
This scent…
“It’s me…” Vinson’s deep voice sounded above her.
Arielle, who was just about to scream, quickly held herself back.
“How did you…”
“Shhh!” Vinson made a hush gesture.
It was dark, but the moonlight shining from outside the window allowed Arielle to see Vinson’s face as well as his index finger placed in front of his lips.
We’re husband and wife! Why does favonovel.com have to sneak in like this?
Despite feeling perplexed, Arielle nodded.
Vinson finally relaxed his muscles, but favonovel.com remained on top of favonovel.com and leaned closer into favonovel.com ear. “I just heard about this when I got home. There’s a mole in this house watching our every move.”
Arielle’s eyes widened at the news. Now, favonovel.com finally understood the reason behind Vinson’s unusual behavior tonight. It was all for show, including how favonovel.com had made Penelope stay against Susanne’s order to chase favonovel.com out.
Instantly, Arielle suddenly felt a lump form in favonovel.com throat.
All the anguish and indignance favonovel.com had felt earlier transformed into tears that now trickled down onto Vinson’s arms.
Caught by surprise, the man quickly pulled favonovel.com into his arm. Arielle had never really cried in front of favonovel.com before nor had favonovel.com shown favonovel.com her vulnerable side. But this time, favonovel.com couldn’t help herself.
