Chapter 233 Your Filthy Tricks
“Doesn’t it take a while for the water to heat up? When I was living by the countryside, it’d take about five to six minutes before the water becomes warm.” Arielle smiled innocently.
Yvette studied her face to make out if she was speaking the truth. She was relieved when she found nothing odd.
No wonder she’s out here while the water was running in the bathroom. This country girl probably didn’t know that the water system in my house maintains at a constant temperature, and hot water would run from the showerhead instantly.
“I knew you were going to hand me some clean clothes anyway. Thus, I decided to wait until you bring me the clothes before I hop into the shower,” Arielle continued.
Yvette’s suspicion instantly vanished when she heard Arielle’s explanation.
I guess I’ve overestimated her.
Yvette smiled and said, “Actually, our house runs on a constant temperature water system. So there’s no need to wait.”
“Oh, I see,” Arielle exclaimed in surprise. “How advanced! It’s not like this back at in my place.”
Yvette had never showered at the Southalls, so she didn’t know that Arielle was lying.
Thus when Yvette heard that, she secretly sneered at Arielle’s statement and looked down on the Southalls too.
I can’t believe they’d have to wait for the water to heat up!
“Alright. You can take a shower now. Do have some cake when you’re done. My dad’s probably done with his shower as well and is waiting for you. I believe he has prepared a surprise for you. I hope you won’t refuse it because you deserved it!” Yvette said.
Well, the huge surprise I’m about to gift you is also something only you deserve. It’s a shame you’re always in my way. Or else I wouldn’t have to do this.
Yet, she did not know that Arielle had understood the hidden meaning behind her words. She had already guessed what the “huge surprise” was about.
Both Matthias and Yvette had exposed themselves by revealing clues like the guest room and the aroma diffuser. Hence, Arielle figured out their plan.
I knew they were going to set me up. Yet, I didn’t expect it to be this! Well, they won’t succeed.
Arielle smiled at her gratefully before picking up the clothes on the ground and headed toward the bathroom.
Nevertheless, she stopped halfway and turned to face Yvette. “There’s a huge crowd today, and I’m worried that someone might accidentally barge in. So why don’t you wait for me outside? I’ve locked the door from the outside.”
Yvette began to worry when she heard Arielle’s words.
How am I going to carry out my plan if she locks me outside? She is, indeed, a very careful person.
Things were not going as Yvette planned, but she was very calm.
I will find it weird if things go as planned without any mishaps and thought that she was just playing along on purpose.
Hence, Yvette calmed herself down and took out the aroma diffuser from her purse before placing it by the door.
Arielle eyed the aroma diffuser and asked, “Is that a candle, Yvette? It’s super bright in here, so why are you lighting a candle?”
Yvette secretly sneered at her comment. How could she not know what an aroma diffuser was?
Nevertheless, she held back her laughter and explained patiently, “Oh, this is an aroma diffuser. It functions as an air purifier once it’s lit. We had a few guests who stayed in this room in the past. I was worried there might be traces of an odd smell. So, I’ll light it up for you.”
“You’re so thoughtful, Yvette. Thank you, but I’m not particular about such things.” Arielle smiled faintly.
Yvette smiled back.
