It was Vinson.
Arielle widened her eyes in astonishment at the sight of him.
“How... do you know that I'm here?”
Well, that was because Arielle had told no one that she was coming to the cemetery.
Vinson helped her up before answering, “Will you believe it if I told you that our hearts are connected?”
Upon hearing, Arielle's tears started rolling down her cheeks unwillingly.
“Dumbo.” With one hand holding the umbrella and another wiping the tears on Arielle's cheeks, Vinson continued gently, “Why are you crying in front of our mom? Aren't you ashamed that Mom will laugh at you for crying when you're already an adult?”
Our mom.
Touched by Vinson's choice of words, Arielle immediately hugged him in her arms.
The smile in Vinson's eyes grew deeper as he used his hand to hug her tightly.
In the end, Arielle had no memory of how she returned to Maple Mansion, and it was the next morning when she woke up.
Arielle sat on her bed for a few seconds to get a hold of herself. After that, she was shocked to find out that she was not in her own room.
Just when Arielle was about to get down from bed, the room door was pushed open, and Vinson walked in with a cup of brown drink.
“You're awake?” asked Vinson as he walked toward Arielle and continued, “Come have some hot chocolate.”
She obediently drank the hot chocolate while Vinson continued, “I've applied for a day's leave for you at school. There's some progress on Blake and Sasha's end. Therefore, I'm afraid that you won't have enough time to head back to school today.”
