Chapter 1462 Someone I Like
When Harvey heard that, he widened his eyes and looked at Xavier. All the while, the two of them had technically been spending time together, but somehow, he did not realize that the other man had someone he liked.
Although Xavier felt a little embarrassed after getting his mind read, he still said, “Yes, I fell for a woman here, and I want to marry her. What’s wrong with that?”
After all, love is unpredictable.
I never thought that I would find the love of my life in this place. Xavier figured that he would never marry for the rest of his life, but he ended up falling for a woman who could not marry him.
“Nothing’s wrong with that. Nothing at all.” Vinson casually leaned back on the couch as he slowly said, “Once my father-in-law becomes the one in charge, I’ll suggest this to him.”
He was certain that Dylan would agree to it. After all, that was what happened to him as well; he could not marry the woman he liked.
“Thank you!” Xavier leaped to his feet excitedly before patting Vinson’s shoulders. He had the urge to call that woman and tell her the good news, but after a moment of contemplation, he held himself back.
No, I can’t call her yet. If the king takes back his power but doesn’t agree to change the law, doesn’t that mean that I’ll be making her sorely disappointed? It’s best that I wait until everything’s confirmed. By then, I’ll be able to visit her parents and reassure them that their daughter will be in good hands.
At the school, Aaron was staring intently at Arielle. When he thought about how she had helped Vinson fight against his bodyguard and even ignored his injuries, his heart ached to the point it hurt to breathe.
His stare made Arielle uncomfortable. Although she knew that he was her younger brother and that they shared a father, she could not bring herself to accept him despite knowing that his mother received no love from her father.
After shooting him a cold glare, she returned her focus to the class.
However, Aaron grinned when he noticed that. Even being on the receiving end of her glare was better than her ignoring him.
After class, Aaron quickly packed his things away and went after Arielle. When Sonia noticed that, she lowered her eyes.
“Why are you following me?” Arielle turned around to give him an unfriendly look.
“Ari, you said that I can come for meals,” Aaron whispered in an upset tone as he looked at Arielle. It had been a long time since he had a meal with her.
“I’m not planning to cook.” And I never thought about eating with you.
She no longer wanted to have any meals with him.
“It’s fine even if the housekeeper cooked it. I just want to have a meal with you,” Aaron hastily said.
She just recovered. How can I possibly ask her to cook?
“But I don’t want to have any meals with you,” Arielle said, staring at him coldly. “Aaron, I hope that you’ll stop pestering me after class from now on.”
“Ari…”
“Please refer to me as Ms. Moore. I don’t wish to hear the word ‘Ari’ from you anymore.” As Arielle looked at him, a frown formed on her face.
Left without a choice, Aaron could only look at Arielle with reddened eyes and whisper, “Do I make you hate me that much?”
Even though Arielle was a little uncomfortable to see the expression on his face, she still nodded. “Yes.”
Since she had made up her mind to help her biological father gain power, she figured she would be pitted against Aaron eventually. If they were going to end up as rivals, she would rather stop being friends with him from then on.
