His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 264

Surprisingly, Arielle's irritation the entire morning was soothed by a single remark from Vinson.

Sure enough, I don't need to explain myself to someone who understands me!

She stared at him intently. Suppressing the odd feelings within her, she answered with a nod. “It wasn't me who killed Shandie, but the man who hacked into my computer. He said he wanted to give me a hand. However, I think this is actually a warning instead. He has investigated everything that happened while I was in Jadeborough, so he knows that Cindy will definitely push the blame on me when something happens to Shandie...”

Casting her gaze into the distance, Arielle looked out the window at the drizzle that had started without her knowing. Then, her eyes narrowed while she continued, “A car has probably been

sent to pick Cindy up by now.”

And she'll certainly kick up a fuss of epic proportions when she comes back! I've imagined a myriad of reasons that might bring her back, but this reason never once crossed my mind. But then, even she herself probably never expected that she'd be returning to the Southall residence to attend her biological daughter's funeral. Speaking of that, it's truly ironic. She must have been hankering to come back, but coming back to attend her daughter's funeral was definitely not something she had hoped for.

Visualizing Cindy's expression when she flew into a rage upon her return, a faint shiver ran down Arielle's back.

At that precise moment, Vinson, who was sitting across from her, declared out of the blue, “Let's get married.”

“What?” Arielle lifted her eyes in utter surprise, only to meet the man's profound black ones.

As the two of them locked gazes, she seemingly smelled the fragrance of roses.

Nonetheless, she snapped back to her senses in no time. Bursting into laughter, she teased, “Are you still joking with me at such a time?”

Conversely, Vinson's expression was exceedingly serious.

“I'm not joking with you. I'm serious.”
