Chapter 896

A Beauty With Multiple Masks

“Vinson…” Surprised, Arielle circled her hands around the man’s neck.

Vinson edged his lips close to her ears and said in his baritone voice, “Now, no one will be able to disturb
us.”

He had set his phone to silent after getting off the car just now.

That way, he would be able to enjoy his time with Arielle without anyone interrupting him.

Arielle bit down on her lip and said nothing as she leaned quietly against his shoulders.

She was not ready the last time. However, this time she was all ready to surrender herself to Vinson.

The two of them reached the spacious bed upstairs in no time.

Vinson finally quit restraining himself and kissed her deeply. Then, he caressed Arielle’s slender legs.

His hands traced further up her thighs as he continued kissing her passionately.

However, Vinson suddenly paused as his body stiffened.

Arielle was lost in the passionate moment and felt the man stiffen all of a sudden.

Bemused, she looked at the man and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Then, Vinson raised his right hand to show that it was stained with blood.

Arielle was stumped and was hit by a pang of realization.

Her period was here.



What great timing…

Arielle’s already crimson red face burned hot with embarrassment.

Vinson let out a helpless chuckle. “I thought no one would be able to get in our way this time. Who
would’ve thought…”

“Um… Sorry…” Arielle did not know what else to say. Noticing that Vinson was trying hard to restrain
himself, she suddenly felt a pang of guilt hit her.

He caressed her earlobe with his other hand and said, “Silly girl, what are you apologizing for? You’re
going to be mine sooner or later anyway.”

Arielle’s cheeks burned further. She noticed that Vinson’s hands were on her stomach.

“Does it hurt?”

Arielle shook her head and nodded her head. “Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it doesn’t. This time I don’t
feel anything in particular.”

If it had hurt, she would not have needed Vinson to remind her that her period was here.

Vinson pinched her cheeks and said dotingly, “All right. Change your clothes. It’s better for you to bathe
in warm water these few days. I’m going downstairs to shower.”

Vinson kissed her on the forehead before turning around to leave.

Arielle was left all alone in the bedroom. She felt like she had just experienced the most awkward
moment in her life.

Could I be the first woman to have a man remind me that my period’s here right before we do it?



At the thought of Vinson’s bloodstained hand, Arielle let out an exasperated low grunt.

She covered her face with a pillow to let out a muffled scream. Afraid that with any further delay, she
might stain the sheets, Arielle got up to clean herself.

Vinson was in no better shape than she was.

He could only relieve himself in the shower seeing as he was cockblocked by the unexpected
circumstance.

Meanwhile, feeling abashed about what happened, Arielle spent a much longer time in the shower than
usual.

After she was done convincing herself that it was not

her fault and mustered enough courage to go look for Vinson downstairs, Arielle realized that the man
was not in the bathroom

Where is he? Is he mad at me?

Just when Arielle was feeling anxious, she noticed some clanking noises coming from the kitchen.

“Vinson?”

She padded toward the kitchen and noticed that Vinson had made her hot chocolate.

Vinson smiled at the sight of her. “I don’t know if this is to your taste. I could make another one if you
don’t like this one.”

Arielle felt a warm feeling course through her heart. She reached out to take the hot chocolate and
finished it.







It was exactly how she liked her hot chocolate to be.

She was about to thank him when Vinson caught onto her and said, “I’ve said so many times that I do
not accept any thanks from you. I thought I’d told you to say something else.”

Arielle pursed her lips and muttered, “Vinson, you’re the best.”

The man seemed pleased and said, “You’d better keep track of your cycle. You should drink this before
you

get your period.”

Arielle nodded her head and looked at the man. “Were you mad just now?”

Vinson did not beat around the bush and admitted it right away. “Yes. Not only did you ask another
person out for dinner, but you also forbade me from tagging along.”

“I just didn’t want to scare her…”

“I’m not a frightening beast,” Vinson mumbled indignantly.

“I’m sorry. I won’t do it again. I will be sure to explain to Trisha that you’re actually a guy who’s easy to
get along with.”

Vinson lifted his chin and said, “I’m not the type to be appeased that easily.”

Cocking her head to one side, Arielle asked, “So, teach me. How can I appease you then?”



Vinson looked deep into her eyes and said in an enigmatic tone. “You’ll be able to do so when your
period is over.”

Arielle was rendered speechless. “I want to sleep alone tonight.”

“No way. Then you won’t even be able to appease me even after your period is gone.”

“Vinson, I never knew that you were such a difficult and shameless man.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment.”

The two of them broke into a chuckle afterward. Though they said nothing else, there was no denying
that it was a saccharine moment.

Words were not necessary when two people were in

love.

Meanwhile, Wendy was waiting for her parents to come to fetch her after she was done with the exam.
However, her parents’ flight was delayed, and she could only head back to the rented apartment unit all
alone.

The apartment was quiet. Wendy checked on her phone after settling down.

There was no new message other than the message from her mother telling her that their flight had been
delayed.

She then recalled that since leaving the Nightshire Manor, Susanne had not contacted her.

Is she busy, or has she given up on me?

Wendy bit down on her lips indignantly.



She could not risk losing Susanne’s favor. The latter was her only hope of marrying into the Nightshires.

With the thought in mind, Wendy hurriedly texted

Susanne.

Ms. Stone, I’m done with my school exams, and I’m free this weekend. Can I drop by to visit you? What
desserts would you like to have? I could bring them over.

She ended her text with a playful emoji.

Meanwhile, at the Nightshire Manor., Susanne was playing cards with her friends when she noticed her
phone ping with a notification.

She lifted her phone to check the message. An inexplicable emotion washed over her after checking the
notification.

Actually, Susanne was quite fond of Wendy as she considered the girl an all-rounder. Wendy came from
a good family and was quite well-mannered and studious at the same time. Susanne thought that she
would be a great help to Vinson’s career in the future.

However, her only concern was that her son seemingly harbored no interest in the girl. On the other
hand, Vinson was infatuated with Arielle, who had a disconcerting background.

Susanne let out a heavy sigh.

Ah, forget it. I should honor my promise to Arielle and give her a chance to prove herself.

Susanne’s friend asked, “Susanne, what’s the matter? You’re only a card away from winning the game.”

She snapped out of her thoughts and ignored Wendy’s text.



The next moment, she won the game.

The joy from winning made her throw Wendy’s text to the back of her mind.
