Chapter 1493 Regret For Life
When they parted ways, Aaron warned Nico, “If you want that bodyguard, you’d better be quick. Or else, you will regret it for the rest of your life.”
“What do you mean?” Nico’s expression changed slightly as she looked at him for clarification.
“They are going back to Chanaea and won’t be coming back.” Hearing that, Nico’s expression fell while Aaron stormed off without even saying goodbye.
Meanwhile, Sonia had heard that Arielle was going back to Chanaea after her lessons were over. Reluctant to see them leave, she invited Arielle to meet up and waited for her at their agreed venue.
After Arielle was done packing, she headed out with Vinson to see Sonia.
“Don’t take too long,” Vinson instructed before they entered.
Pausing abruptly upon hearing his words, Arielle gave him a look of resignation. “I know, you jealous baby!” She added the next moment, “I’ll be quick.”
Curling his lips into a smile, Vinson stroked her hair and remarked, “Go on.”
As Arielle entered with her arms waving, Sonia spotted her at once and waved back. The moment Arielle sat down, she grabbed Arielle by her arms.
“Why didn’t you tell me that you’re going back to Chanaea? If I hadn’t heard the teachers and president talk about it, I would have missed the last chance to see you.”
Arielle knitted her brows in response.
Last chance? Why does it sound so ominous?
“I’m just going back for a few days to deal with some matters. I’ll be coming back after that,” Arielle explained.
As a result, Sonia was embarrassed for rushing over without getting a proper picture of what was going on. She had assumed that Arielle was never going to come back. In the end, my own misunderstanding caused me to worry unnecessarily.
“In that case, let me know when you’re leaving. I’ll go send you off,” she suggested with glistening eyes. Arielle accepted it gracefully. “Sure, I’ll call you once I have the date.”
Sonia grunted in delightful acknowledgment. She was truly reluctant to see Arielle go, and was equally worried that she was pregnant. Hence, she would only feel secure with Arielle around.
Now that Arielle was about to leave for Chanaea, she decided to take her father out for a walk. Therefore, Vinson and she arrived in front of the palace to pick him up.
“Dad, while I’m away, you have to take good care of yourself. Sybil told me that you have not been disciplined with your diet,” Arielle advised as she held Dylan’s hand by the lake.
Warmed by Arielle’s concern, Dylan patted her hand and reassured her, “I know, so don’t worry. If you find that I’ve lost weight when you’re back, you can punish me however you want.”
“Punish you however I want?” She raised her brows. “In that case, I’ll only come back to see you when you put on weight.”
“Huh?” Dylan gaped. Isn’t that too much? He beamed at his daughter and retorted, “You can’t be serious, can you?”
“I always keep my word. If you really lose weight, I won’t come back and see you,” Arielle remarked nonchalantly while giving him the side-eye.
Dylan’s smile froze abruptly before he replied through gritted teeth, “Fine. I promise you that I’ll have three regular meals every day, and not lose any weight until you return.”
Deep down, he endeavored to maintain a proper diet so that Arielle would visit him the moment she returned from Chanaea.
He didn’t care about his own health when he was unaware of Arielle’s existence. But now that he knew, he had a reason to take better care of himself.
When she caught a glimpse of his expression, Arielle averted her gaze while curling her lips into a grin.
Meanwhile, Vinson beamed at the warm scene between the father and daughter. Ever since both of them were reunited, Arielle smiled a lot more frequently.
Nonetheless, thinking about the current situation caused his expression to darken, for there was just too much power concentrated within the queen mother’s hands. As for his father-in-law, he was nothing but a puppet despite being a king. Thus, Vinson decided that he needed a proper strategy.
Meanwhile, a woman’s eyes widened in shock when she saw Arielle and Dylan standing together.
