Chapter 1482 I Like This Man
“That was just an excuse for the public to hear. In reality, they had already come to an agreement. Once you and Aaron graduate, both of you will get married,” Nico’s mother informed.
That piece of news was like a bomb exploding in Nico’s mind. She was so devastated that she didn’t know what to say.
After a while, she said, “I’m not going to marry Aaron, Mother. Tell Father to get that idea out of his mind. There’s still time for him to cancel the marriage since it’s not announced to the public yet.”
“Prince Aaron has a noble status. He’s a capable, strong, and handsome man. What’s not to like about him?” her mother questioned, displeasure evident in her tone.
She believed her daughter’s marriage to the prince was a good idea since both of them would be a good match.
“He may be good, but he’s not my type.” Nico grabbed her mother’s arm. “Please convince Father to change his mind, Mother.”
“You can tell him yourself.” Nico’s mother shook off her daughter’s hand and left. She wasn’t going to mess up the marriage because Aaron was the son-in-law she had set her eyes on.
Nico shrugged resignedly. Seems like I’ll have to deal with this myself. She looked around for Vinson and stubbornly approached him when she saw him. I’ll definitely make him fall for me!
Meanwhile, Vinson eventually found Arielle holding a glass of wine and was prepared to take a sip. He stepped toward her swiftly.
Then, he snatched her wine glass away with a frown and reminded her, “Have you forgotten that you’re having your period now? You can’t drink alcohol.”
“Ah, I almost forgot!” Arielle widened her eyes.
He knew she would forget about that. “Here, drink this.” He pulled out a small thermos from his pocket and handed it to her. “It’s brown sugar water.”
She grabbed the thermos as her lips curved upward uncontrollably. She joked, “You’re such a steward!”
Vinson smiled as well, though with a tinge of resignation. He stared at her with a deep look. Who do you think I’m doing this for, you heartless woman? Still, for you, I’m willing to become a steward.
That scene was witnessed by Nico, who was looking for Vinson, and Sonia, who was standing next to Arielle. Both of them had very different reactions to it.
While Sonia wished she could have a caring husband like Arielle, Nico, on the other hand, was very displeased that the man she liked was treating another woman nicely.
“What is your relationship with her?” Nico arrived at Vinson’s side and stared at Arielle unkindly before turning her line of sight back to him.
When she talked to him earlier, he acted dismissively toward her. That made her think he was that kind of person. However, when she saw the heartwarming scene he shared with Arielle, she couldn’t hold back her emotions any longer. What part of me is inferior compared to her? He treats me so coldly, yet he takes such good care of this woman. He even knows when’s her period and prepared brown sugar water for her! I’ll admit that I’m really jealous right now!
When Vinson heard her interrogative tone, he swept his gaze past her coldly. Is this woman insane?
Arielle raised her brow and looked at him. I didn’t expect he’ll still attract another woman’s attention while wearing a fake face.
She stared at the two of them with interest while sitting on her chair casually. Occasionally, she would take a sip of the brown sugar water from the thermos. While she didn’t really like sweet stuff, at that moment, it tasted pretty good to her.
Nico wasn’t intimidated by Vinson’s scary look. In fact, it only reinforced her desire to conquer him.
She walked past Vinson and stopped in front of Arielle. After staring at Arielle for nearly two minutes, she announced resolutely, “I don’t know who you are, but I’m telling you, this man is mine!”
