Chapter 1777 Be My Woman
One of the housekeepers was surprised to learn that Arielle was familiar with their language. She was quick to answer the woman’s question, “This is the general’s mansion, but we don’t know who sent you here, either.”
Dennis had already made it clear that the woman in front of them belonged to the general.
Thus, the housekeeper thought she should treat Arielle better so that the latter would consider her a trusted lackey. That way, her position in the household would also elevate along with Arielle.
The general’s mansion? Why did Sophia take me here?
Arielle didn’t need to be a genius to know that Sophia was the one who kidnapped her. After all, Clyde, who was kind and innocent, would never do something like that to her.
Sophia, on the other hand, made Arielle feel uncomfortable from the very beginning. She sensed a malicious aura from Sophia from the moment they met, but she didn’t expect the latter to do something as cruel as this.
“Do you guys know why I’m here?” asked Arielle while smiling at the housekeepers.
Though it looks like she has some ulterior schemes of her own, she doesn’t seem smart. Maybe I can get some information from her.
“Of course I do,” replied the housekeeper right away after she heard Arielle’s question. “You are sent here to become the general’s wife.”
“Miss, the general is a bit older, but he doesn’t look his age at all. More importantly, he doesn’t have a son. If you were to bear him a boy, the baby will be the future heir, and your position in the household will only be second to the general.”
The housekeeper became increasingly excited as she spoke. Toward the end of her sentence, her tone was filled with reverence, as if she was already treating Arielle like her boss.
Arielle, however, felt her heart sinking after she heard all that. She was about to ask some more questions when a young girl suddenly barged in.
The girl ran toward Arielle right away and shouted at her, “You evil woman. You are not allowed to take my daddy away from me!”
“Lena, it’s rude to shout like that.”
Before Arielle even had the opportunity to talk, a deep male voice sounded outside. When she turned to look in the direction of the voice, she saw a man entering.
The guy had a muscular figure. His defined features made him seem gentle, and when he looked at Arielle, he broke into a warm and amicable smile.
“Lena is just a kid. Please don’t take her words to heart.”
Arielle shook her head to show that she didn’t mind it. She’s just a little girl, so why would I hold it against her?
“Both of you, take Lena to her mother,” ordered the man, turning to the housekeepers beside Arielle.
He said “both of you,” which meant he was asking both of them to leave.
Arielle had her guard up. He’s deliberately sending them away so that we could be alone.
“Yes, sir.”
The two housekeepers held Lena’s hand and coaxed the little girl to leave the room, leaving the general and Arielle alone.
The man, which was the general, Micah Watson, took a seat across from Arielle after everyone had left. His deep, abyss-like eyes were locked on the woman as his heart stirred with emotions and desires.
After shopping, his wife claimed that she was tired, so she went back to her room to rest. He then took Lena out for a walk in the plantation and ran into Dennis, who informed him that Sophia had sent a young woman to him.
At first, he didn’t care much about it. Many of his subordinates had sent women his way, but none of them managed to catch his eye. He never let them stay for long.
However, Dennis claimed that the woman in question was much more beautiful than the rest and promised that Micah would love her. Dennis also said that the woman was already sent to his mansion; he asked Micah to drop by when he was free and check her out.
Lena was upset when she heard what Dennis said. She let go of her father’s hand and ran into the mansion right away. That was when the drama ensued.
“I will allow you to be my woman.”
