Chapter 394 Borrowing a Knife to Kill
Ariel Morris and Arlo Seys only withdrew their gaze after the car disappeared from sight.Arlo Seys looked worried, his expression tense, as he glanced at Ariel Morris. "Ariel, why did you run out to chase Jorge Saxton? If I had come a second later, you would have fallen to the ground."
How could she not see his worry and fear? Ariel Morris embraced Arlo Seys, a deep, happy smile on her lips, and replied softly, "Arlo, I don’t know what came over me. When I saw his hand bleeding at the banquet, my heart suddenly felt so heavy, as if those glass shards were piercing me instead. It was a bizarre sensation."
Arlo Seys’ body stiffened for a moment. "You feel something for Jorge Saxton..."
Ariel Morris hurriedly interrupted his speculation, saying anxiously, "It’s not what you think. I don’t have feelings for him, certainly not of a romantic nature. I just felt such distress in my heart, seeing him bleed, seeing the deep hatred in his eyes—it hurt me, as if I was heartbroken for him—I don’t know why I feel this way. Yet at the venue, seeing how he looked, I was so upset I wanted to cry. It’s a feeling I’ve never had before."
Arlo Seys stroked her silky hair and comforted her, "Perhaps you felt compassion for him in his bleeding state. But Ariel, heed my warning—do not approach this Jorge Saxton again. He is a dangerous existence. He bears resentment toward the Morris Family and will seek revenge against everyone in the family, including you, do you understand?"
Ariel Morris leaned into Arlo Seys’s embrace, nodded, and pressed her lips together in thought.
Is that really it? Compassion? How could she have such strange feelings towards Jorge Saxton? It was something she had never felt for anyone before.

Inside the limousine.
Jorge Saxton looked deeply at the hem of the dress wrapped in his palm.
That girl was indeed different from the other members of the Morris Family, as Langdon had said. When he threw her out of the car just now and saw her about to fall, his heart suddenly felt fear, and he instinctively reached out to save her.
Why is this? He actually showed mercy to the daughter of Damien Morris and Laura Pinley, and when he saw her about to fall, his first reaction was to reach out and save her?
She is the daughter of his enemy! How can he be so soft-hearted towards her?! Jorge Saxton, have you forgotten the revenge for your sister, mother, and grandfather? Have you forgotten their deaths?
You are now feeling compassion for the daughter of your enemy! Jorge Saxton, can you face your deceased loved ones?!
Jorge Saxton clenched the pale-blue hem in his hands, and his deep gaze was filled with icy coldness.
He will not spare a single member of the Morris Family!

The banquet concluded, and the remaining tasks were being handled by Veralina Quinn and Lily Cox.
Ariel Morris was yawning non-stop, and Arlo Seys drove her back to the villa in Royal View City.
When the car reached Royal View City, Arlo Seys parked the car and turned to look at the passenger seat, only to find she had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Arlo Seys got out, walked to the passenger side, opened the door, and gently cradled Ariel Morris in his arms, carrying her up to the second floor.
Arlo Seys laid Ariel Morris on the bed, looking at her sleeping face, and smiled gently, planting a soft kiss on her cheek.
She slept so quietly and deeply. Arlo Seys lay down beside her, the corner of his lips curving in a gentle smile.
Eight years later, when they met again, she finally became his wife, and they got their marriage certificate. Now, he could rightfully have her for a lifetime. Just thinking of this filled his heart with sweet, warm happiness.
The endless wait of eight years finally rewarded him with her return. Now living a happy and stable life, recalling their first meeting and all their youth, he realized it was destiny leading to this moment.
