After a short pause, Arielle asked, “Then, do you still remember how he looks like? What does he do for a living? How did he know my mom?” “Why are you so eager to know about your mom’s previous lover?” Josiah asked curiously. Arielle hesitated for a while before voicing her suspicion, “He might have something to do with my mom’s death.”
“What?” Josiah then fell into silence, dumbstruck. After a few minutes, he spoke up, “I only know that they met each other at Jadeborough University. Perhaps he is still there, so you can try and look for him. Well, that’s all I know. He’s very mysterious, and it seems like he has a strong background.
He was a bit rude, so I didn’t really like him. I didn’t interact with him much at that time. I’m sorry, I can’t really recall how he looks like since it’s too long ago. All I remember is that he is very handsome. If he ever shows up, I can definitely recognize him.” “Thank you, Mr. Doyle. You’ve helped a lot.” Arielle bowed at him to express her gratitude. The latter waved his hand dismissively. “It’s nothing. Well, I’m sorry that I can’t provide you with more details.
If I happen to recall how he looks, I’ll inform you.” “Sure! I’ll give you my contact number.” Arielle then told Josiah her phone number. After exchanging contact numbers, the two parted with each other. After Josiah had left, Vinson uttered, “Since Henrick wants you to continue studying, you might as well look for that man in Jadeborough University.
I’ll make the arrangements for you. Also, you can use this opportunity to search for your childhood memories with your mom at that university.” “All right.” Arielle nodded firmly. “Tha—” Before she could finish her words, Vinson made a shush gesture and reminded, “Have you forgotten again about what you should say?” Hearing that, an awkward look appeared on Arielle’s face. She then shot a glare at Vinson. “Vinson Nightshire, are you out of your mind?”
“Maybe.” Vinson gave a nonchalant shrug before he went on saying, “Either you say what I want you to say, or you keep the thanks to yourself. It’s not like we are strangers to each other, there’s no need to be so courteous.” Arielle was stumped. She merely wanted to express her gratitude, not expecting him to react this way. “Let’s go.” Vinson beckoned to her. “I’ll send you to Yvette’s birthday party. After that, I have something I need to attend to.”
The next moment, Arielle blurted out, “Then I shouldn’t bother you. Go ahead with your work. I can go there on my own.” As she made her way to the door, Vinson halted her in her tracks when he suddenly carried her in bridal style. “Arghh—” she cried out. Before she had even realized it, the man had stuffed her into the car.
After sitting up, she roared, “Vinson Nightshire! Are you mental?” Vinson raised his brow at her. “Well, maybe.” Or else, why would I act so weird? He was not like his usual self anymore. Whenever he met Arielle, he would want to talk to her.
Even when she was not around, he would miss talking to her. Eventually, Arielle decided to let it slide. After all, she owed Vinson a big one for inviting her to Haut Monde. On their way to Yvette’s house, Vinson asked, “Do you know Ev’s background?”
