Chapter 1555 You Still Have Me
After some forceful pushing, Sonia found out that she could crack the window open. However, the gap was still pretty small.
It was large enough for half her body to go through. Upon looking down, she realized she was on quite a high floor. Additionally, because the window was facing the darkest part of the building, even if she shouted at the top of her lungs, no one would hear her.
She was starting to panic. I wonder if I can squeeze my way out of this window. If I can, I can slip out along the pipe and escape.
Just as she stretched her leg out, her body became stuck. She couldn’t move in or out.
More importantly, her stomach had begun to hurt.
Meanwhile, Harvey was standing in front of the bar with a bouquet of flowers.
The atmosphere inside the bar was very lively, but none of them was the person he was waiting for.
He sent another message to Sonia and stared at the many other messages he had sent. She had replied to none of them. It was starting to make him suspect something was afoot. Thus, he tried calling her instead.
The phone rang for a long time, but no one picked up.
It was then he realized something was really wrong. He thought about what to do and decided to call Arielle.
Arielle was currently lying on the bed, caressing her mother’s picture. She cursed the queen mother again and again in her mind for being cruel.
Not knowing how to get rid of the pain in her heart, she put on her clothes and went upstairs.
It was silent upstairs.
‘‘Vinson…’‘ she carefully called out, but no one responded.
Her curious gaze swept across the space before she heard the water running in the bathroom. I guess he’s taking a shower now?
‘‘Why are you here?’‘ Vinson opened the bathroom door with but a towel covering his body.
Her face suddenly flushed with embarrassment as she lowered her head silently.
‘‘Why are you up?’‘ he asked as he walked past her and grabbed his pajamas from a nearby wardrobe.
It wasn’t until he put on his clothes that she said something. ‘‘I… brought you some milk!’‘
‘‘I thought you said we shouldn’t drink milk before sleeping?’‘ He chuckled.
‘‘You… Were you taking a cold shower?’‘ Arielle changed the topic. ‘‘I know you’re used to it, but I don’t think you should do that right now. It harms your body—’‘
‘‘The temperature’s just right.’‘ Vinson cut her off and picked up the cup to drink.
Then, he approached her and whispered next to her ear, ‘‘What’s going on with you, Arielle? If you came up here without a clear reason, I might suspect that you’re intentionally seducing me.’‘
What is he saying! She raised her head and met his eyes. ’‘Vinson!’‘
‘‘Hmm?’‘ He was getting closer. She smells so nice. I guess I do miss that scent after not smelling it for a long time. It’s making me want to smell more of it. He forced her to sit on the bed before he buried his head into her neck.
The pleasant scent emanating from his freshly-washed hair entered her nose. However, the coldness of it caused her to shudder. Her body still hadn’t fully recovered.
‘‘Vinson.’‘ Arielle hugged him.
His body temperature expelled the darkness in her heart.
Caressing her face, he then gathered her into his embrace tightly. ‘‘There’s no need to be sad. You’ve still got me and Dad.’‘
‘‘Arielle.’‘ Upon kissing her face, it was as though he had found the source of sweet spring water. He could no longer hold himself back.
Their body temperature rose and rose, and just as they were getting into the mood, her phone rang.
