His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 1288

“Let's do this...” A wide grin spread across Queenie's face as a wicked idea popped up in her mind. She leaned in close to whisper her plan into Donovan's ear.

Donovan's eyes gleamed with unbridled glee when he heard her ingenious idea. This plan is wonderful! I can almost taste the sweet revenge. Arielle is just a woman that was cast aside by Vinson. I'm sure Vinson wouldn't conduct a search party to look for her if she mysteriously disappears.

Meanwhile, Arielle had just entered her room. Her phone was flooded with messages from Vinson that read: How are things going? Did you eat all your meals? When will the competition end? When can you come back? Let me know when it's all over, and I'll pick you up. It's been three days since I last saw you; I miss you so much.

Arielle could imagine Vinson's caring expression as she read his text messages. The man's love for her filled her with warmth, and she reveled in the wonderful feeling of being coddled.

Unfortunately, the competition that was meant to last for only three days had been extended. The three days away from Vinson filled Arielle with longing for the man. She buried those feelings of yearning at the bottom of her heart. She dared not address those emotions for now because she was aware that once she allowed herself to miss him, the feeling would only magnify and engulf her wholly.

She picked up her phone and instead of replying with a text message, she video-called Vinson.

On the other end, Vinson was busying himself with work. With Arielle away from home, he had no reason to return to his mansion and preferred to spend his nights at the company. At this moment, his eyes lit up with delight when he saw the incoming call from Arielle, and he quickly picked up.

Greeted by Vinson's excited grin, Arielle teased, “Are you glad that I'm not around?”

Vinson was not in the mood to play along. His eyes darted around the phone screen to capture every detail of Arielle's face. His eyes filled with worry as he asked, “Why do you look so haggard? Did you have trouble sleeping last night?”

“I didn't get a wink of sleep last night,” Arielle replied with a smile as she rubbed her face. She recounted the events of yesterday to fill Vinson in.
