A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 263
“What?” Vinson was put in utter shock by Arielle’s words and instantly sobered up. He asked frantically. “Where are you now? Are you all right?”
Arielle gripped the phone tighter in her hand and replied, “I’m doing fine at home. He only hacked my computer this time and didn’t harm me.”
“I’m glad to know you’re okay.” Vinson let out a relieved sigh and asked, “So, why did he hack your computer?”
Fearing the hacker was listening in on the phone call as well, Arielle did not answer him immediately. She paused for a moment before saying, “When are you free to meet up? I’ll tell you when we see each other in person.”
“I’m going to your place right now.”
“Don’t. Our house is quite messy today. How about visit you instead? Where are you now?”
“I’m at Maplelake Manor. You were here yesterday, remember?”
“All right. I’ll meet you there.”
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
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.
Vinson recalled Arielle’s reason for not meeting at her house and soon realized there might be another truth behind it, so he asked, “What happened back home?”
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.
