Chapter 1227 Trust

Arielle was utterly helpless. “I am telling you the truth. We’re deeply in love.”

“All right.” Jason nodded. “If that’s the case, why would he bring an escort home?”

“I…” Words caught in Arielle’s throat, as she did not know how to answer that question.

After a short pause, she replied, “He wanted to make the plan look as convincing as possible.”

“Making the plan look convincing by bringing an escort home? Do you really buy his story? What if it was all a lie?” Jason gave her a puzzled look.

“That’s impossible!” Arielle said resolutely. “He wouldn’t do that to me!”

The firm look in Arielle’s eyes rendered Jason speechless.

Why would Vinson come up with a plan that requires him to flirt with another woman in front of Arielle? I don’t get it!

I don’t think Arielle could do anything at this point.

Feeling frustrated, Jason took out a cigarette and started smoking. He would rather believe his own eyes than listen to Arielle’s explanation.

By the time he finished puffing his cigarette, the children had gotten used to the bionic arm.

It was getting late, and Arielle wanted to leave the orphanage soon. After bidding Moses goodbye, she walked up to Jason and asked, “Could you give me a lift if you plan to leave now too? I’m afraid I couldn’t get a car in this place. If you can’t give me a ride, I’ll get someone to pick me up then…”

Who? Vinson?

Jason threw away the cigarette bud and said, “It’s alright. I’ll send you home.”

“All right. Thanks.” Arielle nodded. Their interaction started feeling awkward again.

Jason regretted the way he pushed Arielle earlier.

Clearly, Arielle is still very much in love with Vinson. I’ll have to confess to her again when she has given up on him.

Jason toned down his approach and opened the car door for Arielle like a gentleman.

“Thanks,” Arielle said.

Jason nodded gently but kept mum. He then walked to the driver’s seat.

They then left the orphanage and hit the road.

“Where to?” Jason asked. “Do you need me to book you a hotel room? I can recommend you a few…”

“That won’t be necessary.” Arielle shook her head. “Could you take me to the Nightshire residence? If it’s out of your way, you can drop me at a place where I can get a cab easily.”

Once again, Jason’s expression changed, and he stepped on the brakes.

Arielle was caught off guard and fell in the forward direction.

Fortunately, the safety belt managed to prevent her from propelling further.

Before she could sit properly, Jason started reprimanding, “You still want to return to his house? He brought a woman home, for goodness sake! Do you enjoy being humiliated? Wake up, Arielle!”

He wished he could shake her shoulder to bring her back to her senses.

Arielle felt lost and did not know what to do.

She didn’t expect Vinson to bring that woman back home.

She was upset about it—utterly upset about it, but it didn’t mean she had lost faith in him.

Our relationship is built on trust. There’s nothing an escort could do to tear us apart.

Vinson and I had been through thick and thin. I even lost count of the times we cheated death together.
