Chapter 1238 Sleep In Separate Rooms

At the thought of that, Penelope could finally force a smile on her face. “It doesn’t matter where I sleep. I’m sorry for having to trouble you.”

“Hmph!” Susanne let out a cold snort and purposely raised her voice as she said to Geoffrey, “Bring over the herbs Mrs. Seyward sent this morning and brew it for Sannie.”

Puzzlement was written all over Arielle’s face. “Mom, I’m not feeling unwell.”

“It’s not for that,” Susanne answered with a smile. “It’s a tonic for nourishment. Even though you two haven’t got married, I’ve been waiting for a grandchild for a really long time. Be good and finish the drink later.”

Arielle’s face froze when she learned what Susanne had in mind.

It was not because of embarrassment but because she had mixed feelings about it.

How will I be able to bear any children with Vinson under such conditions right now? I don’t even know what’s going through his mind.

After staying silent for a while, she muttered, “There’s no need, Mom. We don’t have such plans at the moment. I’ll sleep in the guest room on the first floor tonight.”

Finishing her words, she turned and trotted toward the guest room without bothering to spare a glance at Vinson.

One step, then another…

Her footsteps were slow and unhurried because she held on to the hope that Vinson would stop her.

However, there was only disappointment when she realized the man hesitated no more and headed upstairs.

Susanne was the only one sighing non-stop and holding onto Arielle’s hand to comfort her.

Nevertheless, the rage burning within her had reached its peak, yet she tried to maintain an unfazed expression and comforted Susanne instead. “Don’t worry, Mom. I’m fine. It’s just that I have something important tomorrow, so I need some time to do the preparations. Besides, I’ll be able to sleep more comfortably alone.”

Heaving a deep sigh, Arielle swept her gaze to Penelope and warned, “You can continue staying here, but you blame me for doing anything to you if I find that you’re harboring any evil thoughts.”

“I got it,” the latter hurriedly answered. “I promise you that I’ll not cross the line.”

In truth, her words did not reflect the thoughts in her mind. Deep down, she dreamed that she could replace Arielle someday.

There was no limit to greed. Initially, Penelope only wanted to reap some benefits from Vinson. But that had slowly escalated to her yearning to stay overnight at the Nightshire residence. Now, she was even thinking about replacing Arielle.

Without a doubt, greed was only human instinct, and Penelope was not an exception either.

Her gazes toward Arielle only turned increasingly disdainful as the latter turned around.

Well, it seems like the top student of Maxwell University, who has superbly high intelligence is nothing but a rumor, huh? A clever woman should be trying all possible means to remedy her relationship with her husband and win him back. What Arielle is doing will only push him further from her.
