Chapter 1457 One Day You Will Be Mine
“One day, you will be mine, Ari.” There was a crazed look in Aaron’s eyes.
After receiving Aaron’s text, Arielle and Vinson set off to the palace. The moment they reached the palace, Arielle took out her phone and dialed Sybil’s phone number.
When Sybil received the call and knew that Arielle was at the entrance of the palace, he didn’t have enough time to inform Dylan. Rushing over to the entrance, he greeted, “His Majesty will be delighted to see you here.”
“I guess,” Arielle replied coldly. Being the observant man that he was, Sybil shut up and said nothing more because he realized that Arielle was unhappy.
After a few minutes, Sybil led Arielle and Vinson to Dylan’s palace. Dylan was coming down the stairs and his face lit up with joy the moment he saw Arielle.
“What brings you here? Does your arm still hurt?” Dylan walked toward Arielle and asked.
Arielle could tell that Dylan genuinely cared about her from the way he looked at her. However, the thought of him having another wife and a son caused her gaze to darken.
“I have something to ask you,” she blurted.
Still immersed in the happiness of Arielle visiting him, Dylan didn’t notice the shift in her mood. Smiling, he replied, “You can ask me whatever you want. I’ll tell you everything.”
Dylan watched as Arielle opened her bag and took out the book. Before she even took out the photo, his face paled because he recognized the book.
She hasn’t found the photo, has she? A plethora of scenarios on how to make a plausible excuse for himself flashed across his mind.
In the next moment, Arielle took out the photo right under his nervous gaze.
“You told me that you didn’t know Maureen. If that’s the truth, why have you been looking at her photo frequently?” Arielle stared at Dylan coldly.
“I—”
“Don’t try to make up any excuses,” Arielle interrupted Dylan before he could say anything. “If you don’t tell me the truth, I will leave this place and never see you again.”
At this point, she was certain that Dylan was her biological father. After all, if he wasn’t, he wouldn’t have looked so happy the moment he saw her or cared about her injury.
Taken aback by Arielle’s resolute gaze, Dylan took a deep breath and looked at her guiltily. “Maureen is the only woman I have ever loved in this life, and you are my beloved princess.”
Arielle wasn’t touched when she heard that. She scoffed, “The only woman you have ever loved? Are you really asking me to believe that?”
If you really loved my mother, you wouldn’t have abandoned her!
“I know you must find it hard to believe me, but it’s the truth.” Dylan’s heart throbbed with pain when Arielle acted coldly toward him.
“Wow. You must have loved her so much then!” Arielle said mockingly. “In fact, you loved her so much that you abandoned her while she was pregnant out of wedlock. In the last moments of her life, she was still tortured by the thought of losing you. Is that how you treat someone you love?”
Feeling remorseful, Dylan took a step back.
If I knew that that would be the last time we saw each other, I would have never let myself be tricked by my mother and gone back.
“His Majesty has his reasons, Princess,” Sybil interrupted and tried to explain on behalf of Dylan.
