Chapter 164 Not a Couple
Aracely was wounded by a fruit knife. Although she had lost a lot of blood, the wound was not serious.
When Anaya went to see her after a low busy days, she was energetic.
Anaya walked into the hospital and saw Aracely beside the fountain. She was playing games with some children and had won many snacks.
The children were sad after losing their snacks.
Aracely asked, “Do you want me to give the snacks back to you?”
The children nodded expectantly.
Aracely smiled. Then, she opened a pack of chips and began to eat in front of the children.
“It’s yummy.”
The children became disappointed and cried loudly.
Aracely laughed. Suddenly, someone took the snacks on her legs away and gave them back to the children.
The man also gave the children some candies before sending them away.
“Winston, those are inine. Why did you give them to others?” Aracely was unhappy.
Winston turned around and smiled warmly, “Don’t bully children. It’s cold. I’ll take you back to the ward.”
“No, I’m going to get my chips back.”
Aracely didn’t want to be obedient and stood up to chase the children, but Winston held her waist. In the next second, she felt dizzy because she had been carried up by Winston.
Aracely was stunned. She blushed and struggled in Winston’s arms. “Put me down. I want to get my chips.”
Winston said firmly, “Go back to the ward.”
Aracely was silent for a moment and said resentfully, “You have become more and more domineering.”
In the past, Winston allowed Aracely to do whatever she wanted.
However, Winston had many requests to Aracely lately, and the requests were not negotiable.
“Have !?” Winston kept smiling.
“Yes.” Aracely was sure.
Winston smiled but said nothing.
Ararely became frustrated and yielded. “I give up the chips. Just put me down.”
Shall we go back to the ward?”
“Alright
Hearing that, Winston pul Aracely down
* Let’s go
He reached out to hold her hand
La step back and avoided winston. She hesitated for a few seconds and said, “Winston, do you have a
misunderstanding about our relationship?”
“What do you mean?” The smile on Winston’s face laded.
Aracely noticed the change in Winston’s mood, but she forced lierself to say, “We are not a couple. It is inappropriate to be intimate. Don’t do that to me again.”
Hearing Aracely’s words, Winston became solemn.
Aracely had taken the initiative to kiss liim, so he thought she had accepted him.
She hadn’t changed her mind, which was out of Winston’s expectations.
He took a step forward and approached her aggressively. “Why did you kiss me if you hadn’t accepted me?”
Aracely looked away embarrassedly and came up with an excuse. “I just thought you were handsome. Remembering what had happened between us, I failed to resist the impulse to do that.”
Aracely liked watching romantic movies, and she was an experienced face judger. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
If someone else said that, Winston miglit think that was a joke.
However, he knew Aracely well.
Spoiled by her family, Aracely had been bold since she was young. She didn’t like rules and regulations. It was possible for her to do something strange for a ridiculous reason.
Winston stared at her to see her through.
Aracely was nervous. She bit her lip and kept silent.
She suspected Winston expressed his affection to her because of responsibility.
Aracely didn’t want to bind him for that reason.
Winston had managed the company of the Tarleton family for years and had done enough for them. Aracely did not want him to be bound because of what had happened.
Winston should have his happiness like others,
He should not be trapped by the Tarleton family for the sake of responsibility.
Thirty Seconds were as long as a century.
When Aracely was about to say a few more words to make Winston give up, the man in front of her suddenly turned around and lat.
Winston and Anaya brusled past each other, and it was rare that he did not greet lier.
Anaya Was far away and hadn’t heard the conversation between Winston and Aracely. Judging from their expressions, Anaya knew they had an argument.
she walked to Aracely. “Whal have you said to Winston?”
Aracely shook her head and answered depressively.”Nothing”
Aniaya frowned and wanted to ask more, but Aracely pretended to be relaxed and changed the topic with a smile. “Amaya, Joshua and Lexde came to my home several days ayo. And they were chased out by my brother’s men. I forgot to record a video for you.”
Aracely kept talking. It was obvious she did not want Anaya to ask what had happened between Winston and her. Therefore, Anaya did not ask further and went to the ward with Aracely.
“Anaya, I have sensational news to share with you.”
Anaya chosea tangerine from the fruit basket and peeled it. “What’s it?”
“Bria and Hank will be engaged the day after tomorrow. Do you remember Hank? Aria introduced him to you on your grandfather’s birthday.”
Anaya handed the tangerine to Aracely peacefully as if shie did not care about that and asked casually, “How could they be together?”
“It’s a marriage for business. The Aucher family has been declining for the past few years. Although Joshua has helped them, he can’t stop the Aucher family from declining.
“The Baker family is influential in Boston, but Hank is disappointing. He is a thirty-year-old playboy, and no girl will marry him. Bria’s father coveted the money of the Baker family, so he begged them several times before they approved the marriage.
“Joshua and Lexie will marry next week. Bria shouldn’t get engaged at this critical moment. Being afraid something unexpected might happen, Bria’s father was anxious to settle the engagement, so he decided on the engagement date in a hurry.”
Aracely asked Anaya, “Have you received the invitation from the Aucher family?”
“Yes, but I threw it away.”
The butler of the Aucher family had sent an invitation to Anaya, but she threw it away without reading it.
When Aracely talked about that, Anaya remembered the invitation.
Aracely said, “When you were in the Maltz family, Bria troubled you frequently. Now that she will marry someone like Hank, don’t you want to laugh at her on the scene?”
Anaya thought for a moment and agreed, “Call me when you set out the day after tomorrow.”
Aracely had recovered and would be dischiarged the next morning.
The clothes for autumn were thick, so she was not worried that the scar on her arm would be seen. It was not a problem to attend an engagement party.
“Alright. Let’s go together.”
