Arielle was utterly helpless. “I am telling you the truth. We're deeply in love.”
“All right.” Jason nodded. “If that's the case, why would he bring an escort home?”
“I...” Words caught in Arielle's throat, as she did not know how to answer that question.
After a short pause, she replied, “He wanted to make the plan look as convincing as possible.” “Making the plan look convincing by bringing an escort home? Do you really buy his story? What if it was all a lie?” Jason gave her a puzzled look.
“That's impossible!” Arielle said resolutely. “He wouldn't do that to me!”
The firm look in Arielle's eyes rendered Jason speechless.
Why would Vinson come up with a plan that requires him to flirt with another woman in front ofArielle? I don't get it!I don't think Arielle could do anything at this point.
Feeling frustrated, Jason took out a cigarette and started smoking. He would rather believe his own eyes than listen to Arielle's explanation.
By the time he finished puffing his cigarette, the children had gotten used to the bionic arm.
It was getting late, and Arielle wanted to leave the orphanage soon. After bidding Moses goodbye, she walked up to Jason and asked, “Could you give me a lift if you plan to leave now too? I'm afraid I couldn't get a car in this place. If you can't give me a ride, I'll get someone to pick me up then...”
Who? Vinson?
Jason threw away the cigarette bud and said, “It's alright. I'll send you home.”
“All right. Thanks.” Arielle nodded. Their interaction started feeling awkward again.
Jason regretted the way he pushed Arielle earlier.
Clearly, Arielle is still very much in love with Vinson. I'll have to confess to her again when she has given up on him.
