Chapter 298
Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire
Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 298 Arielle leaned over to check on Vinsonâs wound.
Some strands of her hair fell forward and brushed against his forehead. The touch was light, making him feel slightly itchy, and his heart skipped a beat.
For some reason, Vinsonâs mind was all over the place, and he swallowed hard again. However, Arielle continued sitting on top of him without noticing anything.
It was the type of torturous feeling only a man could understand.
Unable to bear it any longer, Vinson said in a low voice, âArielle.â
Arielle was rolling Vinsonâs sleeve up. As soon as she heard him call out her name, she looked up instinctively.
However, it would have been better if she did not do so. When she did, the tip of her nose brushed against Vinsonâs nose bridge With their noses touching, their eyes met.
Their breaths mingled, and the atmosphere was intimate.
Arielle let out a cry of surprise.
She finally realized that they were in a potentially compromising position.
Her ears and neck were flushed as she jerked back her head and quickly climbed off Vinson.
She moved at the speed of lightning as if her life depended on it.
In an amused and exasperated tone, Vinson said, âIâm not a wolf. You donât have to be so afraid of me.â
Of course, sheâs right to be afraid. If this keeps up, I donât know what Iâll end up doing.
Vinson had come to terms with the fact that he was a man with desires.
âIâm not scaredâ¦â Arielle muttered.
Suddenly, she remembered that she was supposed to be tending to Vinsonâs wound. Hence, she got up and hurried to get the first-aid kit.
Vinson sat quietly on the couch as he watched Arielle flitting about busily. Subconsciously, his lips curved into a smile.
Things feel different now that I have a wifeâ¦
Meanwhile, Arielle focused all her attention on cleaning his wound. When she finally finished and looked up, she realized that he was gazing at her.
Vinsonâs eyes were dark and mesmerizing.
Her heart began to race, and she could not help holding her breath.
Seconds later, Arielle averted her gaze and asked uncomfortably, âW-Why are you looking at me?â
Inexplicably, Vinson felt pleased when he saw the tips of her ears reddening.
He arched his eyebrow slightly and said with a smile, âWeâre already husband and wife. Canât I even look at you?â
Arielle shot him a look, then said, âStop joking around. Letâs get back to business. I used something today that made Cindy think that I was Shandie. She told me that she and Henrick were involved in my momâs death.â
Vinson frowned. âDid you record the conversation?â
Arielle shook her head. âWith the state that she was in, even if I did record it, the recording would be useless. I wouldnât be able to use it to bring her to court. Weâll need to proceed slowly.â
âWell then, letâs start with Henrick,â Vinson replied.
Once again, Arielle shook her head. âHenrick is starting to be wary of me. He wonât even let me go to the office. Instead, he wants me to further my studies. Clearly, he doesnât want me to get involved in the business because heâs afraid Iâm up to something. Itâs going to be difficult to find out anything from him.â
Vinson was not surprised to hear that. He nodded and answered, âIâve managed to get a good understanding of his character. Heâs someone who is wary of everything. Whatâs more, since heâs involved in your motherâs death, itâs only natural that heâs intimidated by what youâre capable of.â
Arielle sighed. âThen what should I do next? Should I continue pretending to be their sweet and naive daughter?â
After pondering for a moment, Vinson said, âOne is only likely to reveal deepest, darkest secrets when theyâre pushed to the brink of a meltdown. Take Cindy, for example. Even if she thought you were Shandie, she wouldnât have revealed something like that under normal circumstances.â
âDo you have a plan?â Arielle asked, her eyes lighting up.
