Chapter 1270 Ulterior Motives
Alas, she didn’t realize she was being followed.
Not far away, Donovan stepped out from behind a tree. He squinted his eyes at Arielle’s distant figure before going after her.
When Arielle went deeper into the mountain, she was surrounded by tall trees that formed a thick canopy above her. There were also weeds and strange plants all around.
As poisonous bugs, snakes, and rats would flit by her feet, Arielle felt as though she were in an indigenous forest.
Although she was a woman, she was unbothered by her treacherous surroundings. Back then, she had tagged along with the Wilhelms and trekked deep into the mountains to seek knowledge from ancient Chanaean medicine experts. Thus, she was used to it.
The herbs she had prepared earlier came in handy at that moment. She applied them all over her body and tossed them to the ground so that the animals would stay away from her.
Behind her, Donovan saw everything, and a hint of rage flashed across his eyes.
Arielle observed her surroundings and immediately started digging when she found the herbs she wanted.
Two hours later, her bag was half full of herbs.
“Eh?”
Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she strode forward swiftly. She came to a stop before a rotten tree and bent down to confirm her guess.
“Two reishi mushrooms! This is an amazing find!” Arielle blurted out.
Carefully, she plucked the reishi mushrooms off the rotten trunk and kept them in her bag.
The thick reishi mushrooms were at their maximum medicinal value now.
Arielle’s side profile was undeniably attractive under the sunlight. Utterly captivated, Donovan revealed himself and went toward Arielle, Queenie’s reminder all forgotten.
Yesterday at the set, news of Arielle saying she wanted to catch her husband cheating on her had spread like wildfire.
The netizens went crazy trying to figure out who her husband was and why he would cheat on their goddess.
No one had an inkling of who her husband was, but Donovan was in the know.
It was deemed normal for someone as wealthy as Vinson to cheat on his wife since having one woman wasn’t enough for a man of his status.
Clearly, Vinson has grown tired of Arielle and cheated on her. That’s great, for I can take the advantage to pursue her. I assumed that I used to target her because I loathed her. Never in my wildest dreams did I know that it was because I loved her. Arielle only had eyes for Vinson, but now that he has cheated on her, my chance has arrived.
“Arielle!”
Arielle had just kept her herbs and was about to continue on her journey when someone called her name.
She looked up instinctively and realized it was Donovan. At once, her expression turned dark.
“Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be with Queenie?”
Why isn’t Donovan with Queenie? Why did he come to me instead?
“Arielle, I was worried about you, so I came after you.”
Although Arielle sounded rude, Donovan’s voice remained gentle.
Hearing that, Arielle frowned in disgust.
“Worried about me? Are you crazy? Why are you worried about me instead of your wife?”
Instead of worrying about Queenie, who is in a wheelchair, he is concerned about me, a healthy person. Obviously, he has ulterior motives! He’s a sly fox full of tricks.
“I love you, Arielle. Vinson cheated on you, and he has obviously gotten sick of you and no longer loves you. I know I did the wrong thing back then. Trust me. I will treat you better than Vinson and shower you with all my love!”
