Why does he always sound so aggrieved? What did I even do to him?
Arielle tried to guess what she had done to upset him and said, “Sorry, I didn't mean to be late. I had to get the principal and my homeroom teacher to sign the form for permission to live off-campus. I didn't mean to keep you waiting. Please don't be angry!”
Vinson's eyes twitched.
“Do you really think I'm mad because of that?”
Arielle blinked at him, her confusion deepening. “Why else would you be mad?”
“Ah, forget it!” Vinson retorted with a scowl. “Let's just pretend that's the reason I'm mad. Just give me your luggage and get in the car.”
With that, Wendy climbed into the passenger seat, still frowning in confusion. She knew there was another reason for Vinson's irritation. But what's the real reason?
The silence in the car was palpable as they drove toward the residential area. When they stopped at a traffic light, Vinson finally turned to Arielle and said sullenly, “Don't forget that we're married. You shouldn't go around petting other people's heads. We signed a contract.”
Arielle turned her gaze to Vinson in astonishment. “Are you talking about Trisha? She's a girl!”
Vinson snorted and said in a low voice, “She's lucky that she's a girl!”
“Huh?” Arielle did not know what he meant by his remark.
However, Vinson did not explain himself. The traffic light turned green, and he started the car again. They finally stopped in front of an old residential building about ten minutes' drive from Jadeborough University.
The appearance of the bright blue sports car attracted the attention of the few elderly people who were going about their morning walk in front of the gate.
Getting out of the car, Vinson shook his head disapprovingly as he took in the rather rundown building in front of him. “This place is so old! Why don't you live with me in Maple Mansion? It's only half an hour's drive from the university. It's really not that far.”
Arielle recalled how Donovan had called her a 'kept woman' and shook her head vehemently. “No, I want to live alone.”
Hearing the firmness in her tone, Vinson did not try to persuade her any further. He silently started looking for her unit number.
