Chapter 1463 Unable To Afford Angering Him

“Ari, it seems like I’ve been too nice to you that you’ve forgotten I’m someone you can’t afford to anger.”

As Aaron spoke, he pulled Arielle into his arms. After leaning closer to her ear, he muttered, “Arielle, don’t force me. If you keep this up, I don’t know what I’ll do to you.”

Him pulling her into his arms was something Arielle did not expect. She tried to struggle out of his embrace, but he was too strong for her to escape. Immediately, her expression darkened.

“Let go of me. Don’t make yourself become someone I despise,” Arielle warned.

Hearing that, Aaron’s determination wavered. However, in the next second, he thought, What’s the difference between her acting this way and hating me? With that thought in mind, he decided not to let go of her.

“I don’t care whether you like me or hate me.” As long as she’s by my side, nothing else mattered. Once he said those words, he took out a pair of handcuffs from his pocket and tried to cuff her, smiling.

When Arielle saw the handcuffs, she scowled. Has he lost his mind? Initially, she did not want to do anything harsh to him, but she did not expect him to have the audacity to cuff her. That was something she could not stand, so just as he was about to put the handcuffs on, Arielle slammed her elbow against his stomach. Then, she spun around and kicked him away. The handcuffs fell to the ground.

“Aaron, this is the first and the last time. If you do this again, I won’t let you off the hook this easily.” At that, she turned away from him and strode toward the outside of the school. Aaron continued to stare at her departing figure as he remained in the same spot with a dark look.

In the meantime, Vinson was casually leaning against the hood of the car as he gazed at the entrance of the school. When he saw Arielle’s figure appearing in his line of sight, his lips curled into a smile. Yet, that smile dropped when he spotted the look on her face. After striding toward her, he asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Nothing,” was all Arielle said to him as she frowned.

Vinson did not probe her further when he heard her reluctant tone. After all, even if they were in a relationship, he figured it was normal for her to have some private space. Since she did not wish to speak about it, he was going to respect her wishes.

“Do you want to get a change of clothes first, or do you want to go see your father right away?” he asked after getting into the car.

“Let’s go to him right away.”

Vinson nodded, and he drove the car to the palace. By the time they arrived, Sybil had been waiting at the entrance of the palace for a while. Once Vinson stopped the car, and the two of them alighted from it, Sybil walked over to greet them.

“Princess!” he greeted.

“The walls have ears. So please, just call me Sannie.” Arielle had much respect for the man who had been working for her father all this while.

In response, Sybil waved his hands dismissively.

“Please allow me to address you as Ms. Moore.”

Knowing that she would not be able to convince him otherwise, Arielle agreed to it.

“His Majesty knows that you’re coming, so he has been waiting for you for a while in the palace. The kitchen has also prepared many dishes that you like. His Majesty hopes to have you stay for dinner, but he’s afraid that you’ll say no, so he’s been practicing how to convince you to stay,” Sybil revealed all the things the king had been doing after replaceing out that Arielle was going to visit him.

Although Arielle’s expression remained neutral, she could feel something warm seeping into her heart upon hearing Sybil’s words.

She never thought that her father would fret over things like these, and his actions moved her.

“Please head to the kitchen later to tell them to serve the dishes,” Arielle said in a nonchalant tone. Yet, those words of hers made Sybil grin like a fool. Does that mean the princess is going to stay for a meal with His Majesty?
