He said he’d take care of her?
How could she not let her imagination run wild with such words!!
When a typical man says he wants to take care of a woman, it’s... a kind of promise!
Arlo Seys pressed his lips together, his gaze turning to her, and he replied without any embarrassnt, "You’re now living and eating in Royal View City, at my ho. Does it matter to you if anyone wants you or not? You’re a woman burdened with debt; there aren’t many who’d want you in the first place. Now that your leg is injured, can anyone still want you?"
Ariel Morris... "That’s not wrong, but couldn’t you have put it more tactfully? That really hurts . By the way, Arlo Seys, when did you wake up? Did you hear anything?"
If Arlo Seys heard everything... thinking about it, a blush crept up Ariel Morris’s face.
Why didn’t he make a sound when he woke up? He made her talk to herself for so long....
Arlo Seys looked at her coolly, "Didn’t hear anything, just woke up. Or is there sothing I should have heard? If you want to say anything, go ahead, I’m listening."
He really wanted to hear those words again. It was Ariel Morris’s heart speaking, and more so, her unspoken eight years of longing for him.
Ariel Morris shook her head hastily, "No, nothing." To cover up her guilty conscience, Ariel Morris looked at Arlo Seys and sowhat awkwardly changed the subject: "Arlo Seys, are you bored? How about I read so jokes to you for fun?"
Arlo Seys gave a faint hum, "Go ahead and read."
As ti flowed peacefully, the quiet hospital room was filled with warmth as sunlight stread in.
----
Lunch was brought over by Nicole from the Seys Family, a nutritious al specially prepared by Mother Seys for the two of them.
Arlo Seys’s condition was improving, and his fever had reduced significantly. Aside from the leg injury making movent difficult, Ariel Morris generally was in good health.
Nicole pushed Ariel Morris downstairs to the inpatient departnt for a walk, while Callan Walkers ca in carrying a stack of files, looking for Arlo Seys to sign.
After Arlo Seys signed each docunt, he handed them back to Callan with a sowhat low voice and asked, "How is the Morris Clan doing?"
Callan paused for a mont, "The Morris Clan—it’s becoming more complicated, soone is targeting the Morris Clan. It wasn’t very noticeable at first, but recently the actions have beco increasingly obvious, and we can’t find out what force is targeting the Morris Clan, but the strength behind it is likely on par with us at Era."
Callan hesitated for a while before lowering his voice to continue, "President Seys, could it be that the Morris Clan offended soone? The opponent targeting the Morris Clan at this ti clearly won’t let them off. Should we take preemptive action, acquire the Morris Clan first and then talk?!"
Arlo Seys’s eyes were deep, contemplating for a while before slowly saying, "Callan, keep a close eye on the force behind this. If it’s confird that they’re going hard against the Morris Clan, Era must ensure in the shortest ti possible that the Morris Clan is safe and sound! Also, get the funds and contracts ready; I want to buy into the Morris Clan!"
Callan was shocked, "President Seys, do you an we not only won’t seize the opportunity to acquire the Morris Clan but instead will suddenly turn around to protect them? Why? Why are we abandoning the trap we’ve set for so long against the Morris Clan?! We’re almost ready to close the net, why suddenly give up?!"
Arlo Seys compressed his thin lips, giving a faint glance at his assistant, "Just do it! There’s no need for so many why’s!"
Callan pouted and fearlessly retorted, "So, is it true that our Era’s future lady boss’s surna is Morris? Are we rging with the Morris Clan by marriage?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was t with Arlo Seys’s icy glare that seed to pierce him with a thousand blades.
Callan shivered, "President Seys, I suddenly feel that our long-prepared setup against the Morris Clan for over a year, now that it has beco useful, you’re suddenly giving it up. I think—"
Callan faced his boss’s calm and indifferent face, taking a deep breath, and quickly blurted out, "I think it’s President Seys purposely setting up a trap! President Seys set this huge sche against the Morris Clan only to have Miss Morris co to you, returning to your side voluntarily!"
