Chapter 1508 To Go Or Not To Go
A week had passed in the blink of an eye, and Lisa was ready to be discharged from the hospital since she had mostly recovered. Except for the lack of mobility in her left arm, the rest of her body felt fine.
Matthew was pleased to see how much better his mother was doing. ‘‘This is all thanks to that Chanaean doctor, Mother,’‘ explained Matthew gently as he held Lisa’s hands.
Lisa was a much more stubborn woman when she was younger. After time had gotten the better of her, she became meeker. ‘‘We should invite her over so that I can thank her properly,’‘ suggested Lisa with a nod.
‘‘Sure. I’ll make the necessary arrangements and have her over soon.’‘ Smiling, Matthew agreed with the elderly woman.
Nico, who was standing just beside the two, immediately got excited when she heard the man. If Arielle’s coming over, that means her bodyguard will be here too. Finally, the moment I’ve been waiting for has arrived! I must get ready.
Two days later, Matthew cordially invited Arielle to his residence. Frowning, Arielle wondered if she should turn down the invitation since she knew the general’s daughter had a thing for Vinson.
‘‘Why are you so troubled? If you don’t want to go, just don’t.’‘ Vinson pinched Arielle’s nose playfully, amused by her reaction to the invitation.
In response to that, Arielle rolled her eyes at Vinson. I wouldn’t be in this predicament if he didn’t attract so much attention.
‘‘I want to go, but you know the man’s daughter has fallen for you, right? I don’t want her drooling over you,’‘ said Arielle with eyebrows tightly furrowed.
Even though Arielle wished to get close to Matthew, she could not ignore the fact his daughter had fallen head over heels for her man. I’m so conflicted. I just can’t seem to make up my mind!
‘‘Just go and ignore his daughter. She’s nothing to me,’‘ stated Vinson nonchalantly, for he was aware that Arielle wanted to get on Matthew’s good side, and Nico did not bother him at all.
In the end, Arielle decided to stop being indecisive and accepted the invitation.
Turlenian banquets were usually held in the evening, so Arielle stayed in the palace until dusk before returning to Paelsford Manor to wash up and get changed. Only after that did she set off for Matthew’s residence.
Vinson did not drive that day. Instead, he and Arielle had a chauffeur at Paelsford Manor drive them to their destination. Sitting in the back of the car, the two secretly held hands.
Melissa was waiting at the door when they arrived, showing how important their presence was to her and her family.
‘‘What are you doing out here? You should’ve just let the butler wait for us instead,’‘ voiced Arielle with her usual cold smile after getting out of the car.
That was the second time Melissa saw Arielle in person; the first was at Dylan’s birthday celebration. Arielle left many mouths agape when she walked into the hall holding the man’s hand, and one of them belonged to Melissa.
Back then, Melissa thought Dylan had fallen for Arielle but realized she was mistaken when she heard nothing about the relationship since.
Dylan simply wanted to introduce Arielle to the public and have them know that the woman was under his protection even though she was a foreigner.
‘‘It’s nothing. We invited you over because Old Mrs. Nighy wishes to thank you in person,’‘ explained Melissa enthusiastically.
