His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 263

Maplelake Manor was even more beautiful during the day than it had been when Arielle first visited last night. Lush maple trees surrounded the compound, creating a splendid city jungle.

Yet, Arielle was too engaged in her thoughts to admire the scenery and entered the mansion as soon as she saw Vinson.

Vinson greeted Arielle while still in his pajamas, his hair unkempt.

He had stayed up late working the night before, so he had planned to sleep in the next day.

However, Arielle's call that informed him she had become the mysterious man's target jolted Vinson awake. Not only did his drowsiness vanish in the blink of an eye, but he was also too worried about Arielle's wellbeing to take care of his appearance.

Although Vinson wasn't in the mood to tidy up, he still got a hold of himself and cooked Arielle some ravioli before her arrival.

Hence, Arielle was welcomed by two warm plates of ravioli on the dining table as soon as she stepped into the mansion.

Vinson led Arielle toward the dining hall and suggested, “Let's have our meal before we discuss what happened. Health is the most important after all.”

Arielle was moved and wanted to thank him for his thoughtfulness, but before she could show her appreciation, Vinson continued, “I'm just concerned about falling sick myself. I didn't cook this for you on purpose, got it?”

After hearing Vinson's forced explanation, Arielle swallowed her words instantaneously and kept quiet. She realized he was simply too embarrassed to admit his concern for others, so she didn't say much as she slowly finished the ravioli he had prepared.

Arielle was a fast eater and finished her plate of food quickly. She then diverted her attention to Vinson, who was still eating his food.

This was the first time she had observed Vinson's eating style with no distractions, and she was pleasantly surprised by how gracefully he exhibited his proper table manners. It was as if Arielle was watching a duke enjoying a delectable full-course meal.

Vinson sensed Arielle's gaze and lifted his eyes to glance at her, which caused the latter to look away awkwardly.

Luckily, Vinson didn't tease her like how he did last night. He merely increased his speed of eating, then began the discussion with Arielle about the serious matters on his mind.
