Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 358
Half an hour passed before the ray of light dimmed. Even till then, Arielle still could not figure out what caused those complicated emotions.
She shook her head, deciding to stop thinking about it. Standing up, she turned on the lights, took out Pat’s letter, and read it silently at the desk.
Pat always loved to use that kind of paper for his letters. At the top, he even drew a red heart.
When Arielle saw that, her heart melted.
My dear sister, it’s been ages since I’ve met you. I really want to go to Chanaea and meet you, but Daddy and Mommy said that you’re doing something important, so I shouldn’t disturb you. Alright, then. A mature kid shouldn’t disturb an adult from doing something important. Still, I have a lot of things that I want to tell you and I don’t know when you’ll see this letter…”
Pat drew a sad face after that. Arielle chuckled as she continued reading
I made a new friend this semester and even found myself a girlfriend. Her name’s Sofia and she’s the one who pursued me. Since she gave me a packet of milk each day, I agreed. However, she’s really clingy! She would insist on playing with me every day after school. Since I’m already her boyfriend, I have to take responsibility for her and bear with her clinginess. Don’t tell Daddy and Mommy about this! This is a secret between both of us. Yesterday, I heard Daddy and Mommy say that Reya from next door is going to get
married. When are you going to get married? Have you found a boyfriend?
Arielle smiled bitterly.
Pat had always been a mature child. He was even starting to feel worried about her marriage.
Pat’s letter continued. However, I hope that you’ll not marry, Arielle. After Reya got married, she stopped bringing me to the playground. When will you come back? I can already help Mommy with the chores. I clean your room every day too! My friend gave me a gift, but I haven’t even unwrapped it yet. Let’s unwrap it together after you come back. Ariella, come back quickly. I really, really, really miss you! Missing you eternally, Pat
At the end of the letter, he drew a string of colorful hearts.
After Arielle finished reading the letter, she was surprised to find herself crying.
She smirked self-mockingly. I’m already an adult, but I still cry when reading a letter.
Arielle wiped her tears with a tissue before folding the letter neatly and inserting it inside a favorite book of hers.
Then, she dialled a number and asked, “How’s it going?
The person replied courteously, “Teddy’s progress is a bit slow. He’s barely found half of the items. Without your instructions, we don’t dare to intervene either. Do you think that we should intervene?”
“It’s fine. We’re in no hurry,” said Arielle calmly. “If we act too rashly, we might alert the enemy unnecessarily. There must be Henrick’s men there too, so you mustn’t reveal yourself. Let Teddy do it. No one will care about or suspect what a child is doing.”
“Okay!”
After the call ended, Arielle gazed into the distance.
I mustn’t be distracted by Pat’s letter. If I get anxious, I might become flustered and loopholes will appear in my plan. In that case, I can only go back to Dad, Mom, and Pat even later.
I must stay calm and take slow, steady steps.
Soon, night arrived.
Arielle did not receive any messages from Vinson. She wanted to text him about Sasha, but she deleted the message she drafted.
Forget it. There are a lot of talented doctors in Carter’s hospital. Furthermore, Sasha isn’t diagnosed with some terminal disease, so there’s no need for me to be so worried. Since Vinson didn’t message me, that’s good news.
