Chapter 1468 His Sister

For the past few days, Arielle noticed that Aaron seemed to have heeded her words. When they were in class, he did not ask her any questions. Even when they were done with class, he no longer tried to strike up a conversation with her.

Even though that was what she wanted, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable with how distant Aaron was. After all, he was his younger brother. Subtly, she glanced at him before looking away.

Although she felt guilty toward him, Arielle could not bring herself to accept him. Perhaps I'd be able to accept him as time passed. Maybe, soon, I'll be able to stand in front of him and tell him that I'm his sister Aaron had no idea what Arielle was thinking about. At the moment, he was intentionally stopping himself from looking at her and thinking about her. It was as though he was only able to keep her in the recesses of his mind if he did that.

Sonia noticed the odd tension between the two of them, so when classes were over, she stopped Arielle before the latter could leave.

"Is there something you're confused about?" Arielle thought that Sonia had come to her because she needed help with her studies.

Sonia shook her head and squeezed out, "Ms. Moore, what happened between you and Aaron?" Right as those words were out of her mouth, she realized that it seemed inappropriate of her to ask that. It was as if she was trying to sound out the relationship between Arielle and Aaron. Hence, she quickly added, "I'm just curious. If it's not something you want to talk about, you can ignore that question. It's fine." Arielle narrowed her eyes and enunciated, "There's nothing between us. There's no need for you to overthink things."

After a pause, she turned to look at Sonia and asked, "Do you still like him?"

Sonia was dumbfounded at that. She did not know whether or not she liked Aaron.

"Ms. Moore, what is it like to fall for someone?" she asked as she looked at Arielle in confusion. Sonia had never fallen in love before. She only wanted to marry Aaron because of the way she was brought up. Since young, her mother had constantly told her to marry Aaron. As a result, Sonia only had eyes for the man.

"I..." Arielle frowned. She did not know how to explain it to Sonia. However, she figured she could tell Sonia how she felt toward Vinson. "I don't know what it's like for others to fall in love with someone else, bu I can tell you what it's like for me."

"Okay!" Sonia nodded fervently.

"Well, if you like someone, you'll keep wanting to meet that person. When you think about him, a genuine smile will appear on your face. When you hear news about him, you'll replace yourself excited and keen to hear more. If he spends time with other girls, you'll feel upset..." Arielle muttered. Those were the things she had experienced herself. She did not know if others felt the same way as she did. The more Sonia heard, the more she frowned.

The things Arielle told her were things she never felt for Aaron.

Could it be that I don't like him that way?

With that thought in mind, Sonia turned a little gloomy. Even if she did not like him, she had to heed her mother's words and try to get together with Aaron, for she had no other choice.

After Arielle explained her experience to Sonia, she noticed Sonia's rapid expression changes. Thus, she said, "Sonia, we need to grasp our happiness by ourselves. If you want to get married, you should marry someone you love and will love you too. Even if you can't have a relationship of mutual love, you should still look for someone who's wholly yours. Otherwise, you'll be the one suffering in the future." Everything that Arielle had just said went against everything Sonia had learned since young.

Her mother only told her that she had to marry someone that would benefit their family, and that she would have a good future only if the family was doing well.

In the past, she thought her mother was right. However, now, she was having her doubts. Was she really right?
