Mysterious Woman Is So Gentle By Mila Chan Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Her hair accessories were all out of place and her hair was disheveled.The woman, who

was supposed to be in the spotlight, turned pale and was in a patheticstate.

Shannie!” Cindy exclaimed as she rushed on stage. Even though shewas extremely worried, Cindy did not forget about Arielle and used hershoulder to nudge Arielle aside.

Arielle was wearing heels that were four inches high and was standingon the edge of the

makeshift stage.

The force of Cindy's push sent Arielle tumbling sideways as she lost herbalance and was about to fall off the stage...

However, she reacted swiftly and protected her head with her hands.That way, even if she had fallen down, it would lessen her chances ofhaving a concussion.

However, to Arielle’s surprise, she did not land on the ground. Instead,she felt a strong hand supporting her back steadily while another handwas wrapped around her waist as she was being carried off stage.

After Arielle stood firmly on the ground, she instinctively turned to lookat the person who

had saved her.

What greeted her was a cold and perfectly sculpted face. Frowning, theman said, “Why are

you wearing such high heels? Are you planning to fall to your death?”I didn't have a choice!

Arielle wanted to retort but controlled her mouth. After all, that manwas just concerned

about her safety

If not for him, she might have already been badly injured from the fall.Arielle swallowed her words and was about to thank him when Henrickrushed over.

“My darling daughter! Are you hurt? Dad was going to help you justnow but Mr. Nightshire

was a step ahead of me... Mr. Nightshire seems to treat you really well!”Henrick said

meaningfully with a concerned expression.

On the other hand, Henrick did not even look at Shandie, who wasbeing carried upstairs.

That was interesting to Arielle. Regarding her dad... she had almostbelieved that he was a

loving dad who doted on his daughter.

What Arielle could not understand was, why would her mother, whoseemed so perfect on paper, choose to marry a man like Henrick?Since she was back, she was determined to replace out the reason, as shesuspected there was more to that than meets the eye.

There had to be a secret that she did not know.

“I'm fine, dad. You should go upstairs and take a look at Shandie. I'mnot sure what was

going on but she suddenly fainted just now. Hopefully, it isn’t anythingserious that we should be

concerned about.”

Arielle’s expression was soft and serene as she spoke, without a hint ofthe disgust she felt

towards Henrick. She behaved exactly like a sensible and obedientdaughter, which Henrick was

extremely satisfied with.

The man could even be convinced that he must have saved theuniverse in his past life to

have such a perfect daughter!

Henrick quickly replied, “You're right. I'll go and take a look at Shandieright away and shan't disturb you and Mr. Nightshire. Mr. Nightshire,please make yourself at home!”

A crease appeared between Vinson’s brows when he heard that.

Make myself at home? Do the Southalls really think that we are on thesame level? The man took a glance at Henrick but decided to spare himthe ridicule.

After Henrick left, Vinson said, “I'm not here to attend the function. Ionly waited until now to make sure that there are really no wishes youwant me to fulfill for you. Are there?”

Arielle was feeling somewhat helpless.

The truth was that before she returned to the country, she had onlygathered detailed information on the Southalls and knew nothingabout the economic situation in the country.

However, the Nighshire family had such a powerful influence in thecountry that one would have heard of them even without research.Besides, from the guests and Henrick’s reactions, it was apparent thatVinson was definitely

a big shot in the country.

However, Arielle had only performed the duties expected of a medicalpersonnel on the

island and nothing more.

Except for the fact that... they had slept together.

But the woman would rather believe that nothing of that sort hadhappened.

In a determined manner, Arielle replied, “Vinson, I appreciate your kindoffer, but there's really no need for that.”

If there was really something she wanted, she was fully capable ofgetting it herself.

The woman had never depended on anyone else.

The crease between Vinson's brows deepened when he heard Arielle’swords.

“Woman, do you know what you have just turned down?”

Vinson did not believe that there was anyone who would reject such anoffer from

him—any wish that he would grant. As such, it did not make sense tohim that Arielle kept

rejecting him.

Vinson wished he could check if there was something wrong with thatwoman's brain!

Looking at how serious Vinson was with regards to granting her thatwish, for some

unknown reason, Arielle couldnt help but feel amused by it.

She shrugged and replied, “Maybe you could enlighten me on what Ihave just turned down? Was it my Mr. Right? Oh, also, my name is not'Woman'."

“What's your name then?”

“My name is... Sannie.”

Sannie was Arielle’s nickname given to her by her overseas adoptedparents.

“Got it. You still haven't told me what your wish is.”

Seeing how insistent the man was, Arielle joked, “If you really want torepay me, why don't you... marry me?”

Vinson was speechless after hearing Arielle’s “wish” and had acomplicated expression on

his face.

Seeing how tensed the atmosphere had become, Arielle cleared herthroat and tried to ease

the tension. “I was just joking. Anyway, just forget it. There's reallynothing I need.”

“I can do that,” Vinson suddenly spoke.

“What?” Arielle was stunned and asked in disbelief, “What can you do?".Vinson regained his composure and with his usual cold expression, hereplied, “I can grant you your wish, but I have to discuss it with myfamily first as it does not concern me alone.”

“Hold on...” Arielle widened her eyes in shock and was at a loss forwords. “You didn’t take my words seriously right? I've already said that Iwas just joking!”

“Well, sometimes people disguise their true thoughts as jokes.”

“But I really meant it as a joke! I'm not interested in you at all!”

Vinson looked lost for a moment before he replied, “Why? Every girl inJadeborough dreams of marrying me.”

“But that doesn’t include me!” “Anyway... I'll be giving you my answerlater on. I'll get going first.”

Vinson left after he finished speaking, obviously not trusting that thewoman was really just

joking.

After Vinson left, his bodyguards, who were waiting at one corner,followed behind him. “Hey! Stop right there! We haven't finished talkingyet!” Arielle shouted behind Vinson as

she chased after him. However, she was blocked by the man’sbodyguards.

“Sorry, Miss, you can't go there!”

“But I've something important to tell him!”

However, the bodyguards did not allow her to pass. Apparently,without Vinson's

permission, no one was allowed to get near him.

That was also the reason no one dared to approach Vinson, includingthe socialites who admired him and other men who want to make useof him to climb up the social ladder.

As such, Arielle had no choice but could only watch as Vinson left in hishelicopter, feeling frustrated that the man seemed to have taken herjoking statement seriously.

However, her worries dissipated soon after. After all, no one in theirright minds would take that seriously. Repay someone by marrying her?Such ridiculous practices are non-existent in the modern

eral It's just not possible that anyone would really consider thatproposal seriously.

That guy must be just joking with me. I almost fell for it as he looked soserious! I guess that’s just his unique style.

Arielle pouted at that thought, quite certain that she had been trickedby Vinson!

As such, she was no longer fretting over how she should explain to theman. Instead, she started wondering about the manor that used tobelong to the Moores.

What actually happened that wiped out the Moores who got replacedby the Southalls?
