After school in the afternoon, Ariel Morris rejected Arlo Seys’ offer to take her ho.
She is currently living with the Morris Family, and if Arlo Seys takes her ho, he will discover her identity. Secondly, if her parents see Arlo, they definitely won’t miss the chance to make him help the Morris Clan.
When the truth cos out, she really doesn’t want to see the suspicion in Arlo Seys’ eyes. She lacks that kind of courage.
By the ti Ariel Morris got ho, it was almost dark.
The three mbers of the Morris Family were sitting at the dining table having dinner when Ariel put down her backpack and went over.
Seeing her sit down, Laura Pinley imdiately picked up so dishes and put them in Ariel’s bowl, smiling gently: "Ariel, why didn’t you call for the driver to pick you up when you were coming back so late?"
Ever since she was not in the sa school as Scarlett Morris, since she went to Scenic Hill alone for school, when did the driver ever pick her up individually?
Thinking this, Ariel Morris maintained a faint smile on her face, "It’s okay, I just went out to play with my classmates, so I ca back late."
Laura Pinley chuckled, "Went out to play with classmates? Did you have fun? Why didn’t you bring them back as guests?"
Her smile made Ariel’s fingertips freeze for a mont. She knew her mother, Laura Pinley, thought the classmate she ntioned was Arlo Seys, which is why she smiled so warmly, probing her.
If she hadn’t heard her parents’ conversation in the room, she would have thought her mother was simply concerned about whether she had fun. But now, her mother’s smile made her feel a bit chilly.
Yesterday, because of a stomachache, she slept upstairs until today, and early in the morning, she went out on a whim to catch the cold wind. Yet, no one in the family noticed she wasn’t ho this morning, nor did anyone ask if her stomach was still hurting today.
Turns out, within the Morris Family, she truly is invisible.
Ariel’s back felt a bit cold. She slightly lowered her eyes, eating the food in her bowl, and replied calmly, "Okay, next ti I’ll invite my classmates over to play."

Laura Pinley nodded with a smile, then looked at Ariel tentatively and asked, "Ariel, how are you getting along with Arlo Seys?"
Ultimately, she couldn’t avoid the plans her parents made in private. Ariel’s hand paused while eating, quickly returning to normal. She looked up at her parents, her tone slightly bewildered: "Mom, Dad—I feel—I think Arlo and I—our personalities and tempers are sowhat incompatible, not quite suitable... this relationship is probably not worth continuing."
As Ariel spoke, her tone was halting and tense, seemingly afraid of her parents’ reprimands.
The three mbers of the Morris Family were taken aback by her words, simultaneously turning their gaze to her.
Scarlett Morris scoffed: "Ha, Arlo Seys really is blind!"
The guy she fancied liked this unremarkable sister of hers, and now her sister suddenly said there was nothing worth continuing with Arlo Seys.
Ha, she truly felt sorry for Arlo Seys and was ashad of Ariel for casually toying with soone’s feelings.
Damien Morris stared directly at Ariel, his eyes sharp as if wanting to see through her. Ariel, with her head slightly lowered, nervously rubbed her palms together, as tense and fearful as one could be, seemingly afraid of her parents’ scolding.
Damien studied her for a long ti, failing to notice any clues, before sharply questioning, "Do you know what you’re saying? You want to break up with Arlo Seys?! Are you treating this relationship like a ga?"
Beside him, Laura Pinley also supported Damien, looking at Ariel with a reproachful tone: "Ariel, you were the one who pursued Arlo Seys initially, and now you suddenly say you’re not suitable. What you’re doing isn’t right."
"But do I have to forcefully continue this relationship if I don’t like it? Yes, I initially had a vague crush on Arlo Seys, but now I’ve realized that being with him isn’t as happy as I imagined. I don’t want to continue this relationship—I will tell him I want to break up."
