Chapter 1516 Stay Away From Her
‘‘Nothing!’‘ Arielle tried to act nonchalant.
A corner of Vinson’s lips quirked when he saw how the woman pretended to be calm. ‘‘Really? Then why are you blushing?’‘
Arielle snorted. ‘‘Because the weather is hot!’‘ She then shoved him away. ‘‘Just don’t come near me, okay?’‘
Her heart started thumping every time the man inched closer.
Arielle’s rosy cheeks made her look even more alluring, especially when the room was aglow with the yellowish lighting. Mesmerized by her beauty, Vinson stood stoic and remained silent. As Arielle looked in his direction, she realized he was staring at her. His intense gaze caused her face to turn even more brick-red.
‘‘Why are you staring at me like this? It’s not like you’ve not seen me before.’‘ Arielle cleared her throat.
Vinson came to his senses and chuckled softly. ‘‘I can see you every day but still go gaga over you.’‘ Crawling into the bed, he pinned the woman beneath him and kissed her lips gently.
Meanwhile, at the Nighy residence, Melissa leaned on Matthew’s chest and asked about his conversation with Arielle in the study.
Matthew’s expression turned grim when he recalled the things Arielle had said. Even Melissa could feel the intimidating aura he exuded.
She cautiously pulled herself from his chest and observed him from a distance. ‘‘What’s wrong?’‘
‘‘Nothing!’‘ Matthew took a deep breath. He did not want to discuss politics with his wife, but he did remind her, ‘‘From now on, we should stay away from Dr. Moore.’‘
We should stay away from her since we have different interests in mind!
Melissa did not understand why Matthew made that remark, but his demand had put her in a tough spot.
After all, Lisa was very fond of Arielle and could not stop praising the doctor. Before she went to bed, she even told Melissa to invite Arielle over because she liked having her around. Above all, they still needed Arielle to look after Lisa since the latter had yet to recover completely.
Moreover, she had agreed to Lisa’s request earlier because she, too, was grateful to Arielle. Yet, two hours later, her husband warned her to stay away from Arielle. What if his mother wants me to invite Arielle over again? What should I do?
Matthew gave her an icy gaze and wondered why she kept mum. ‘‘What’s wrong?’‘
Melissa looked him in the eye and explained, ‘‘Mom is still sick, so we need to rely on Dr. Moore’s medical expertise. Besides, she seems to like Dr. Moore very much. Before she went to bed, she even told me to invite Arielle over again.’‘
Matthew held his breath upon hearing that.
But…
He then let out a sigh, and his gaze darkened. Has Dr. Moore planned this all along?
‘‘But why would you want me to stay away from Dr. Moore? What’s wrong with her?’‘ Melissa could not help but ask.
She thought Arielle was a down-to-earth lady and a capable doctor. To her, Arielle might come across as faintly aloof, but Melissa could tell that she was not someone arrogant. Though the fact that Nico had fallen for Arielle’s bodyguard did put Melissa off a little, she still had a pretty good impression of her.
Matthew felt a jolt of frustration upon hearing that. He rolled to the other side of the bed and raised his voice, ‘‘Forget it!’‘
His reaction upset Melissa, but she decided to remain silent and turned off the lights. As she lay down in bed, tears started welling up in her eyes.
In the meantime, something was happening in the tiny house where Cindy was locked in.
