Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3 Wait For Her To Make A Fool Of Herself

Vinson pressed his voice and said, “Are you sure that’s your wish? I’ll give you another chance.”

Arielle knitted her brows and looked at him. “You want to grant me another wish? Do you think you’re the magical Genie?”

Everyone, including Shandie and Cindy, looked at Vinson and Arielle in disbelief.

What’s going on? Does this beggar know Vinson?

Vinson gazed into her eyes. When he was about to respond to her question, Henrick interrupted. “Nice to see you, Mr. Nightshire! Why didn’t you tell me you’re coming?”

All the guests’ jaws dropped when Henrick greeted Vinson.

Cindy instantly closed her eyes as she dared not imagined what would happen next.

What on earth is happening?

Henrick finally noticed something was amiss and started looking around.

A sudden frown warped his face the moment he saw Arielle.

Henrick turned to Shandie and said, “Why did you invite a beggar to our birthday party? Get her out of here!”

Shandie froze for a moment even though deep in her heart she was pleased with his reaction. “Dad, she’s…”

“Dad!” Arielle interrupted. “Don’t you remember me? I’m Sannie!”

Sannie was Arielle’s nickname.

“San…” Henrick raised his brows and widened his eyes in shock. “You’re Arielle?”

“Yes, Dad. I’m Arielle,” she walked up to him.

Arielle did not remember anything that had happened a decade ago, but she remembered that familiar face.

Upon hearing that, Henrick staggered.

Fear was written all over his face as he was afraid that his secret would be exposed.

Arielle knew what was going through his mind. In a steady voice, she continued, “We have not met for years. I miss you so much!”

Henrick was at a loss for words. He had no choice but to give her a pat on the shoulder. “Welcome back, honey, but… what happened to you and Mr. Nightshire? Why do the both of you look so messy?”

All the guests then started paying attention to Vinson’s clothes. They were so drawn to the man himself that they did not notice how wet his clothes were.

Shandie cast a puzzled look at Arielle and Vinson.

Is there something going on between these two?

But she somehow dismissed her suspicion. Vinson falling in love with this country bumpkin? No way! Unless he’s blind!

Upon seeing how awkward the atmosphere had become, Cindy stepped in and said, “I think it was Mr. Nightshire who brought Arielle home.”

“Really?” Henrick seemed to be a little less disgusted by Arielle after hearing that.

Since she was still young and doesn’t remember a thing from her childhood, I guess she doesn’t exactly know what happened.

Imagine the benefits we can reap if we could use her to get closer to the Nightshires.

Henrick instantly plastered a smile to his face and looked at Vinson. “So you’re Arielle’s friend? Thanks for bringing her back to us. If you don’t mind, would you like to stay back, clean up a little, and dine with us?”

Cindy added, “Oh, yes. We have extra pairs of clothes for our guests.”

Vinson initially wanted to turn down their offer, but he could not stand wearing that sea-soaked clothes anymore.
