Chapter 509
Arielle was stunned upon hearing Vinson’s words. A moment later, she shook her head vigorously. “There’s no need for that.”
Vinson raised a brow and asked again, “Are you sure? It’s not hard to make him disappear from your sight.”
“I know.” Arielle nodded as she turned away to gaze out of the car window. “I don’t have to do much to make him disappear too, but anyway, I’m not here to study for a long term. As long as I find the person I want, I’ll leave and never see him again. I can still stand him if he doesn’t piss me off for the time being.”
“All right.” Vinson nodded. “Just let me know when you’re sick of him. Don’t forget that we’re married now.
You can always rely on me.”
Arielle’s heart skipped a beat as she turned to look at Vinson’s face. Suddenly, the annoyance in her heart vanished.
“Okay.” She nodded. Her gaze softened.
So, this is how it feels like to have a backup.
Subconsciously, the corners of Arielle’s lips curled into a smile.
Soon, they arrived at the Southall residence.
Arielle headed straight into the living room while Vinson went to park his car.
The living room was brightly lit.
Right then, Malorie was enjoying her tea in the living room. She looked very different from how she was a few days ago. She was energetic, and there was not a single sign of sickness on her face.
Coincidentally, the effects of Arielle’s drugs lasted for only a few days, so they were going to wear off soon.
“Grandma.” A warm and obedient smile appeared on Arielle’s face.
As soon as Malorie lifted her eyes, her eyes turned cold. She stared at Arielle sternly and asked, “Where is it?”
Arielle was confused. “What do you mean?”
Just then, Henrick walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup. He looked at Arielle and asked, “Didn’t I ask you to buy Grandma’s favorite cookies? Where are the cookies?”
It was only then Arielle remembered about that matter. She had forgotten about it just now after what had happened with Donovan.
“I’m sorry, Grandma!” She immediately apologized.
However, Malorie refused to listen. She struck the ground with her cane furiously, yelling, “Rick, look at your daughter! She doesn’t even have a place for me in her heart! Why did you bring her back in the first place? She’s just as disrespectful as her mom. You should let
her stay in the village forever!”
Arielle lowered her head. A murderous expression flashed across her cold eyes, but she tried her best to suppress her anger.
Frowned, Henrick walked toward her. “Sannie, I’ve asked you to buy the cookies. Why would you forget it?”
Arielle did not lift her head. “I’m sorry.”
“Sorry? Do you think you can get away with that?” Malorie snorted. “I need to teach you a lesson, so you won’t forget about what the elders say next time! Go and kneel in front of Shandie’s memorial tonight! Don’t even try to sleep!”
“Mom…” Henrick found Malorie’s words unbearable, so he tried to advise, “Sannie still has classes tomorrow. What if her legs hurt tomorrow? How about I ask the housekeeper to go and buy the cookies for you now? As for Sannie, come over and give your grandma a massage, okay?”
“No way!”
“No way!”
Two voices piped up at the same time.
One of them came out of Malorie’s mouth while the another echoed from the doorway.
