Chapter 1465 Protective
At Arielle’s protective demeanor, Dylan’s heart ached even more. I didn’t even do anything to Vinson. Does she really need to do that? Ah… My heart aches. Despite what he thought, he dared not say anything about it. After all, they had just reunited.
“It’s fine. I can chat with Dad better if I were to sit there.” Vinson smirked, and he ruffled Arielle’s hair. Unbeknownst to him, his action only made Dylan even more agitated.
Forget it. I can see that they’re very in love with each other, so I should stop trying to pick a bone with him.
With that thought in mind, Dylan muttered, “It’s fine. Just sit with Sannie.”
Thus, Vinson sat down beside Arielle without saying anything else.
Once Vinson was seated, Arielle turned to look at Dylan and said, “Dad, I’m here because I have something to tell you.”
Dylan stiffened. He thought that Arielle was there to visit him, but as it turned out, it was because she had something to tell him.
“What is it?” he asked.
“I heard from Sybil that you’re thinking of revealing my identity to the public.” Arielle was looking at Dylan with a frown. “He told me that the queen mother and queen currently hold all the power. If you publicize who I am, we’ll both be in danger.”
Dylan’s expression darkened at that. He never thought that Sybil would talk to Arielle behind his back.
He then said to his daughter gravely, “I’ll protect you.”
Arielle was his only child with Maureen. He was going to keep her safe even if he were to die in the process.
“I know that you’ll protect me, and I’ll protect myself as well. Moreover, Vinson will be here protecting me too, but…” She then looked at him before saying weakly, “I have my adoptive parents and Pat. I don’t want them to be in any danger.”
Just then, Sybil entered.
“Your Majesty, dinner is ready. Should I tell the kitchen to serve them?”
Hearing that, Dylan turned to look at Arielle and Vinson eagerly. “Are you able to stay for dinner tonight?”
He was anxious to ask the question as he was scared that Arielle would reject him.
Arielle’s heart sank when she saw the excited yet nervous look on his face. If they had been by each other’s sides all along, her father would not have needed to be so cautious around her.
“Do you not wish for me to stay, Dad? If that’s the case, then I’ll—” Before she could suggest leaving, Dylan cut her off, blurting, “Why would I wish for you to leave? I’ve always wanted to have a chance to have a meal with you, but alas, the chance never came.”
