Chapter 458: It would be better if you ate humans...
Ariel Morris hesitated for a moment and nodded. She always felt something was off with Arlo Seys, but she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was. After thinking it over, she decided not to dwell on it. What mattered most was for Damien Morris and Kylie Morris, as siblings, to pay off their debts!Arlo Seys’s eyes slightly drooped, and while Ariel Morris turned her head to talk to Jorge Saxton, a hint of deep thought and melancholy appeared on his face.
-
By the next day, Jorge Saxton had arranged the hospitalization procedures for Ariel Morris, and he took her directly back to Clearflower Estate.
Just like Jorge Saxton had said, Clearflower Estate indeed had a dedicated doctor residing there, just in case Ariel Morris’s condition relapsed. Since acknowledging his sister, Jorge Saxton, Young Master Saxton, had embarked on a journey of all-out pampering. Ariel Morris’s room was filled with clothes, shoes, bags, and all sorts of exquisite and luxurious accessories put there by Jorge Saxton.
And only then did Ariel Morris learn that her brother had established his own career abroad for twenty years and possessed the strength to rival Damien Morris and Kylie Morris.
During this half month, Ariel Morris had been well taken care of, and she had not seen Arlo Seys even once. They only occasionally spoke on the phone.
Ariel Morris stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in her room, feeling somewhat distracted for over half an hour before dialing Arlo Seys’s phone number.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently busy..."
That same sentence again! Ariel Morris felt a little irritable.
What on earth is Arlo busy with? It’s been more than half a month, and she and Arlo have only spoken three times, with each call lasting less than five minutes! What on earth happened...
In the subsequent half month, Langdon Seal and Jorge Saxton also became busy, leaving Ariel Morris as the only idle person at Clearflower Estate. Ariel Morris took it upon herself to find some books to enrich herself.
The whole world seemed busy, so she decided to remain quietly without disturbing.
At Clearflower Estate, Ariel Morris occasionally encountered Jose Floyd at home, wearing an aloof and cool expression, keeping people at a distance. Ariel Morris would avoid him whenever she saw Jose Floyd, never daring to disturb.
Today, after finishing her meal and going for a walk in the back garden, Ariel Morris saw Jose Floyd sitting in the small pavilion in the garden, holding a notebook, focused and exuding coldness.
Ariel Morris paused her steps, immediately turned to leave.
"Stop right there!" An icy voice with no warmth sounded from behind.
Ariel Morris halted, turning back to smile brightly, "Uh... do you need something?"
Jose Floyd glanced at Ariel Morris, "Am I going to eat you? You run away whenever you see me."
Ariel Morris stood up straight, straightening her back, and smiled bitterly, "If you were to eat people, it would be a relief to die quickly! The fear is your extraordinary means of torment, making one wish for death instead!"
Jose Floyd leaned on the bench, his cold eyes scanning Ariel Morris, "Who said that in front of you?"
Ariel Morris chuckled awkwardly, "I... I think I’ll just head back to sleep now, not to bother you." With that, she turned and intended to leave.
"Try taking another step!" The voice was a threat wrapped in a warning.
Ariel Morris immediately turned back to continue standing properly, hardly daring to breathe, "Can’t you just treat it as a slip of the tongue and pretend you didn’t hear?"
Jose Floyd’s thin lips pressed into a line, cold words spilling out, "Was it Nicole who said that in front of you?"
"Need I say it? Last time when you took Nicole away, she ended up with a persistent high fever and had to be hospitalized! If you hadn’t tormented her, would she have been like that?! Your methods of torment must be particularly cruel!" Ariel Morris blurted out, then quickly covered her mouth, panicking, "This sentence... you can pretend you didn’t hear it either, okay? I didn’t mean it..."
