Chapter 1491 No Escape
When Nico saw that Vinson was clearly in love with Arielle, she felt a sudden squeeze in her heart.
She had assumed that she was only interested in Vinson. But when she saw how he was looking at Arielle, an uncontrollable pain seized her heart.
It was then that she realized it was love at first sight for her. In fact, she didn’t even notice how deeply in love she was with him.
“Let’s go.” Vinson opened the car door to let Arielle in.
Before she did, Arielle turned around to give Nico a look before casually adding, “He isn’t someone you can dream of having. So, you’d better quell that desire of yours. Or else, the one to get hurt in the end will be you.”
The moment she finished, she got into the car without hesitation. Subsequently, she gave Vinson a knowing snort when he was buckling her seatbelt for her.
“I ignored her,” Vinson replied defensively.
Cracking a smile, Arielle threw the question back at him, “Did I say anything?”
Vinson was speechless.
It’s true you didn’t say a word, but your actions and expressions couldn’t be any more obvious.
Curling his lips helplessly, he handed her a warm flask.
After drinking a few mouthfuls, she returned it to Vinson. Just when he was about to put it away, there was a sudden knock on the car window. When Arielle and Vinson looked in the direction of the sound, all they saw was Aaron, who had sweat beading off his forehead.
Upon winding down the window, Arielle stared at him with her glistening eyes and asked coldly, “What is it?”
At that moment, she didn’t know how to face the only brother she had.
“I heard that you’re returning to Chanaea. Is that true?” Aaron’s voice was trembling as he looked at her with a grim expression.
He had just gone to see the president and learned from the latter that Arielle had handed over her curriculum and was planning to return to Chanaea within the next few days. As a result, he hurried over to ask her in person whether it was true. Is she really going to leave?
After glaring at him for a while, Arielle replied, “Yeah, it’s true.”
However, she didn’t tell him that she was only going back for a while to deal with matters back home and would be coming back still.
Upon hearing her firm answer, Aaron felt an irrepressible pain in his heart.
“All right then. I bid you a safe journey home.” Having said farewell, he turned to leave. Nevertheless, his lowered gaze was hiding the burning rage in his eyes.
When Vinson noticed how calm Aaron was, he furrowed his brows, for he didn’t expect Aaron to react in such a reserved manner.
Holding that thought, he looked in Arielle’s direction. When he noticed how intensely she was staring at Aaron’s silhouette, he swallowed his words. Given how long she knew Aaron, Vinson was sure she had a much better understanding of the latter than he did.
Meanwhile, Nico’s eyes sparkled when she saw what had unfolded before her.
Upon realizing that Aaron fancied Arielle, she heaved a sudden sigh of relief. With such a scenario, she reckoned her parents would not force her to marry him anymore. More importantly, she could collaborate with Aaron to achieve their objectives.
With that thought in mind, she looked in Vinson’s direction only to see him continue to give her the cold shoulder. As he drove away with an indifferent expression, she watched them leave until they were out of sight before retracting her gaze.
“You’re fated to be mine! I’ll never let you go!” Just as she spoke, she returned to her car and gave her mother a call, asking for Aaron’s number. Thinking that Nico had seen the light and decided to go out with Aaron, her mother sent Aaron’s number to her excitedly.
Once she received Aaron’s number, Nico gave him a call with her eyebrow raised.
