Chapter 1451 Obsessed
Aaron refilled his pint and took a gulp. He replied to Bernd, “Well, someone doesn’t like me. In fact, I think she hates me.”
As he spoke, an image of Arielle came to mind, and his heart twisted with pain. I like her so much. So why doesn’t she return my feelings one bit? I wish I could lock her up and keep her by my side forever.
After some thought, Bernd uttered, “Maybe her heart already belongs to another. If she’s single, she’s hardly going to refuse you.”
Bernd had never liked a girl in his life, and he could not begin to imagine what that would feel like. When he saw the typically unruffled prince brooding over a woman, he became frightened that he would end up the same in the future. The thought was almost too scary to fathom.
A murderous glint flashed through Aaron’s eyes then.
If Vinson’s dead, does that mean Arielle will like me? Adrenaline suddenly began to course through his veins.
“Bernd, I have to head out for something. Are you going back, or will you be staying here a little longer?”
Bernd had barely warmed his seat when Aaron mentioned that he was leaving. Resignedly, he mumbled, “I’m going back.”
His leg had not recovered, and he could not drink alcohol for the time being. He was only there to accompany Aaron. Now that Aaron was leaving, Bernd did not see a point in staying behind.
“I’ll send you home then,” Aaron offered. He knew that his sudden departure was rather impolite to his friend, yet he could not tamper down the urgency in his heart when he thought of his brilliant idea to win Arielle’s affections. He had to leave and set his plans into motion right away.
Aaron’s anxiety spoke volumes about the urgency of his business. Bernd tactfully waved off his friend and said, “My chauffeur’s waiting for me outside. You can head off first.”
