“If you don't—”
“Sure!” Arielle replied before Aaron could finish.
Upon hearing her answer, Aaron looked at her in disbelief.
“Why are you staring at me?” Arielle's lips curled slightly when she saw the look on his face. “Don't tell me you weren't serious?”
Aaron immediately waved his hands in denial. “Why would I do that? I'm—”
Before he finished his sentence, he, too, broke into a smile when he saw Arielle beaming.
She's teasing me on purpose!
Bursting into laughter all of a sudden, he felt that they hadn't interacted that way in a very long time. In fact, he missed the time they had spent on the ship when he first threatened her into coming.
Lunch was quickly prepared, as the chef was still the same one who had served Dylan. Since Arielle and Vinson had dined with Dylan quite a number of times, he was naturally aware of their preferences.
As a result, he meticulously prepared a feast consisting of their favorite food.
During lunch, Arielle lamented Dylan's absence in her heart. Isn't this what he had always wanted to see?
Aaron too had the same thought. If I had accepted the fact that Arielle was my sister back then, would we be dining together with Father right now?
The thoughts in their minds caused a sense of bitterness to descend upon them.
After lunch, Arielle brought up the matter of the illegal organ trade.
“Once you have dealt with the queen mother, you have to take care of this. Given how massive the organ trade network is, you're in a much better position to deal with it.”
Aaron nodded.
