Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 1811 Do You Not Like Kids

With that thought in mind, Abigail quickly had a subordinate sneak into Anna’s mansion before dinner ended. Of course, she couldn’t do the same to Gaspar, especially since she knew how vigilant he was. Sending someone to tail him would only risk exposing her sooner rather than later.

“Gaspar!” Anna shouted when she saw the man walking back to his room.

As it turned out, Gaspar had already anticipated that and instantly stopped in his tracks with a smirk. “What’s the matter?”

“If I hadn’t insisted on following you, would you have left me here?”

Seeing how Anna was pouting her lips in annoyance, Gaspar knew it’d be fun to tease her.

“This is your home, though. Isn’t it normal for you to stay here?”

“But…” Anna said before her words trailed off. No matter how open-minded people in her country were, what she wanted to say was still a little embarrassing.

Gaspar inched closer, his gaze never once leaving her. “But what?”

“I’m already your woman. How could you ditch me?” Anna mumbled before another thought crossed her mind and made her frown. “Hmph! What if I’m pregnant? Wouldn’t you be leaving your child behind too?”

Gaspar’s smirk immediately faded as he stared intently at Anna. “Are you really pregnant with my child?”

Although I’ve slept with many women, none of them are qualified to carry my child. Anna, however, is an exception. I’ll gladly marry her if she’s pregnant and wants to keep the baby. That way, we’ll be able to raise our child together.

Anna hurriedly shook her head when she felt the man’s intense gaze. “How would I know? It’s only been a few days!”

It’d take at least a month before I know if I’m pregnant, wouldn’t it? Then again, why is he staring at me like that? Does he not like kids?

The next second, she stared back into Gaspar’s eyes. “Do you not like kids?”

Anna’s question came so suddenly that for a moment, Gaspar was tongue-tied. Do I like kids?

After recalling everything he had experienced as a child, he wanted to nod and say he didn’t like children. However, when he saw how hopeful Anna was, he decided to shake his head instead.

“I don’t like other people’s children, but that won’t apply to my own,” he replied. When he saw Anna’s eyes lighting up, he smiled and lightly pinched her chin. “So, will you give me a child?”

To his surprise, Anna harrumphed and slapped his hand away. After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned around and stuck her tongue out at Gaspar. “Do you think you can impregnate me in just one try? Are you even that capable?”

With that, she hightailed it back to her mansion, knowing her words would undoubtedly bruise any man’s ego.

As expected, Gaspar was stunned momentarily before giving chase and pinning Anna against her room door.

“Oh, I’ll let you know just how capable I am,” he said as he swiftly picked her up and threw her onto the bed.

Meanwhile, an hour ago in Chanaea, Oswald had ended his call with Gaspar and promptly sent a text to his chat group.

Let’s attend the meeting at Nightshire Group. Don’t worry. Just stay alert and act accordingly.

Later, Oswald arrived at the office and went straight to the conference room. Alas, when he saw the documents that Rayson had given out, his face instantly turned ashen.

Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 1812 Underestimated Him

Isn’t this… I thought I told my men to destroy them? Why do they still exist? The others’ faces turned ashen just like Oswald.

As Vinson wasn’t in the country for a year, they used their power to gain some benefits for themselves. Prior to this, they had destroyed all evidence. Alas, none of them knew Vinson was so capable that he managed to dig out everything they did.

“Rayson!” one director immediately called out before Rayson could leave the room. Rayson halted in his tracks and turned to look at the director. “You can talk to Mr. Nightshire. He’ll be here soon.”

Having said that, Rayson opened the door of the conference room and strode out. The director who spoke earlier watched as he left and turned to look at another director, whose face was as pale as his. “Did he also have something on you?”

“Don’t tell me we’re on the same boat.” Both men stared at each other silently when they realized Vinson had something on both of them. Oswald gripped the file in his hands as a scowl marred his face. He then sent a text to someone.

Soon, his phone beeped, signaling an incoming text message. He was about to check who it was when the door was pushed open. Vinson marched in swiftly with Rayson behind him. The latter closed the door after stepping into the conference room.

As Vinson was already there, Oswald didn’t have a chance to check the text he had just received.

After stepping into the conference room, Vinson glanced at the directors with his deep, dark eyes and let out a derisive snort.

“Did you see what Rayson show you earlier?”

Hearing that, everyone else wore grim expressions.

Taking in their reactions, Vinson narrowed his eyes. Oh? Are they scared over some trivial matters? If they are such cowards, why bother going to such extremes to do that?

“You’ve caught us. What do you want?” Oswald feigned nonchalance and looked straight at Vinson.

I nearly take over Vinson’s position. What a pity!

Vinson’s gaze landed on Oswald after he spoke. Rayson told me he was the one who messed around after news of my disappearance got out.

In fact, Vinson knew what Oswald was up to. As Oswald and the rest were loyal to his father, he didn’t reveal his misdeeds. After all, the minor gains Oswald took were nothing to him.

However, Vinson never knew that Oswald was greedy enough to yearn to be the chairman of the company. It looks like he wants control of an entire company. Why don’t I fulfill his wish?

“Mr. Waysea, you want to be the chairman of Nightshire Group, right?” Vinson squinted his eyes. “That will never happen. You can, however, be the chairman of your own company.”

Oswald’s heart sank as he stared at Vinson. “What are you talking about?”

“Mr. Waysea, if you want to be a chairman, why did you hire someone else to be the chairman of your company?” Vinson responded. He then glanced at Rayson, who placed a file before Oswald.

Oswald flipped the file open instinctively. After going through the contents, he raised his head incredulously and stared at a calm Vinson. I can’t believe he found this! I underestimated him. Indeed, he is a capable man to have brought the company to such heights. What should I do?

He gripped the file tightly as his knuckles turned white.

Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 1813 Kicked Out Of The Company

“Since you’ve discovered everything, I have nothing else to say. What will you do?” Oswald asked after he shut the file. I might have done many things behind his back, but he won’t get rid of me for his father’s sake.

“You’ll be dismissed from your position and Nightshire Group won’t pay you for your services anymore. If you’re willing to sell your shares, I will buy them from you. If you’re not willing to sell them, you will receive dividends according to the percentage of your shares every year. However, you no longer need to attend the annual general meeting,” Vinson revealed as he stared Oswald in the eye.

Oswald’s eyes turned as wide as saucers. He worked hard his entire life for Nightshire Group but ended up getting kicked out of the company.

“You are welcome to state your disagreement,” Vinson added nonchalantly when he realized Oswald was staring at him incredulously.

Resentment brewed deep within Oswald. All I did was use my position to gain profits for my company. So what if I took a few million from the company? Is there a need to fire me?

Oswald wanted to say that he disagreed with Vinson’s decision, but he dared not voice his objection out loud. He was afraid that Vinson would abide by the law and send him to jail. That was something he never wanted.

“I don’t have any objections.” With that said, Oswald slammed the file onto the table and stomped out of the room.

Vinson’s face remained devoid of expression even after Oswald left the conference room in a fit of fury. He then turned to look at the other directors.

“Vinson, I know I was wrong for being corrupted. I shall repay the money I embezzled from the company, so please don’t dismiss me,” one of the directors, Patrick Chance, immediately pleaded.

I wouldn’t have done that if my wife wasn’t ill and in need of money for treatment. One wrong move and I landed in the darkest pit. My reputation is destroyed. I’ve wronged the company and Vinson. Most importantly, I’ve let Vinson down for he trusted me.

“Mr. Chance, you don’t have to repay the money—”

Before Vinson could finish, Patrick cut in, “Are you insisting on firing me?” He then lowered his head despondently. It was my fault. I shouldn’t have gotten greedy. I thought giving back the money later would suffice.

“I deserve to be punished for what I did. Getting dismissed from my position is an apt punishment.”

“Mr. Chance, listen to me. Take it that the company has paid for Mrs. Chance’s treatment. Don’t you think of resigning from your job,” Vinson uttered.

Patrick gazed at him in disbelief. He promptly heaved a sigh of relief when Vinson smiled and nodded at him.

“Vinson, I’m an idiot—”

Vinson instantly interjected, “We didn’t do a good job. Mrs. Chance was seriously ill, but we didn’t give you the necessary help.”

Patrick and his wife only had a son, but the latter passed away in a car accident not long after he graduated from university. Thus, they only had each other. Mrs. Chance was ill, but my mom and Rayson didn’t know anything. It was our fault Mr. Chance had to resort to corruption.

“Don’t worry. After my wife gets better, you can deduct the money from my salary. Just leave us some money for our daily expenses,” Patrick told him.

They weren’t in need of that much money anyway.

“Sure!” Vinson knew that Patrick wouldn’t relax until he agreed to his suggestion, so he nodded with a grin. After that, he turned to another man as his expression turned icy.

Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 1814 A Treat

“Vinson, I—”

“You will be dismissed from your position just like Mr. Waysea. You are free to sell your shares or keep them for yourself. There is no need for you to join the subsequent annual general meetings.”

The man knew that his fate was sealed. After Vinson disappeared, he sold the company information in secret, causing the price of the shares to drop drastically.

“I understand.” With that said, he slumped his shoulders in dejection and trudged out of the room.

After that, Vinson decisively dealt with the remaining directors before adjourning the meeting.

After Vinson returned, Nightshire Group’s share price increased bit by bit. The minority shareholders were delighted. Previously, they refused to sell their shares despite Oswald’s constant persuasion. Right now, their shares would be worth more.

Arielle stayed in Moore Group for a while and was informed about the company’s current situation. She then headed to Maureen’s Kitchen.

Maureen’s Kitchen was packed at that hour.

The people in the restaurant were all excited when they saw Arielle. Oh, our goddess is back!

They snapped photos of her secretly and posted them on social media.

Arielle was sharp enough to realize they were taking photos of her. As they were her fans, she didn’t mind their actions.

“When did she come back? Why did no one hear about her return?”

“Yes. We last met her over a year ago. Look how gorgeous she is now!”

Everyone loved receiving praises, including Arielle. After hearing their praises, she decided to be generous that day.

“To thank you for your patronage for the past one year, your food and drinks will be on the house. You are free to order anything you want. However, remember not to waste food,” she announced.

Her fans were elated to hear that. They couldn’t believe that they were getting a treat from their goddess on their first encounter.

After Arielle made the announcement, she went to the kitchen to help out. It was ten at night when she finally got off work and returned to Nightshire Manor.

Susanne was already asleep by the time she came home. The former wasn’t feeling well and slept earlier than usual. Vinson was still on the way back.

Arielle had already had dinner in Maureen’s Kitchen. She was exhausted after working the whole night, and her shoulders were stiff. After taking a hot shower, she lay in bed and unlocked her phone. Aaron had sent her a text to inform her that he had returned home safely. Arielle sent him a curt acknowledgment and clicked into her social media. She wanted to stay up to date on all the latest gossip and news.

She immediately noticed that she was trending the moment she checked the comments.

Netizen A: Our goddess is back! She is still as gorgeous as ever.

Netizen B: My goddess gave me a treat during our first encounter this year. Thank you for your generosity! The food was delicious!

Netizen C: Oh, I envy those who went to Maureen’s Kitchen today. I’m sad as I missed out on that.

Netizen D: Sobs. I had to work overtime tonight and missed the opportunity!

Arielle’s eyes crinkled up in laughter after she read everyone’s comments. Finding the netizens’ reaction adorable, she clicked into Netizen D’s comment and replied: Dinner is on me tomorrow.

After that, she was about to check her WhatsApp messages when someone replied to her. It was Netizen D, who asked: Are you my goddess?

She responded: If I’m not mistaken, I should be your so-called goddess. Her reply received so many likes that it ended up as the hottest reply in the thread. Everyone started leaving messages on Netizen D’s comment.

Arielle had already exited her social media and was about to check her WhatsApp messages when her phone rang.

Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 1815 Is She In Love With Me

She was still using her old phone number on a new phone, so none of her contacts were saved on her new phone. However, only those who knew her in person would call her.

Without hesitation, Arielle answered the call. “Hello? Who is this?”

“Boss, when are you coming back? If I hadn’t seen your photo on social media, I wouldn’t have known you were back!”

Recognizing Jared’s voice, Arielle chuckled lightly and replied, “I just came back and didn’t get to tell you guys yet.” After a pause, she asked, “How is life at Maxwell University? Can you keep up?”

Jared turned solemn the moment she mentioned their studies. They had Arielle to thank for being accepted into the university. If she hadn’t tutored them, they wouldn’t have made it and studied there.

“We’re doing well, so don’t worry.”

“Good. When you come back, I shall treat you to a meal.” Arielle’s lips curved when she heard how confident Jared sounded.

Jared actually wanted to ask about his sister-in-law, but he had no idea how to start the topic. He only parted his lips hesitantly after a while to ask, “Boss, what kind of person is my sister-in-law? Is she nice?”

“Why? Are you afraid Harvey’s wife is hard to get along with?” Arielle joked.

On the other end of the line, Jared ran a hand through his hair meekly. Indeed, that was his very concern. Jared, Harvey, and their grandfather were the only ones left in their family. The three of them lived together over the years. If Harvey gets a difficult spouse, I can move out and live by myself, but Grandpa…

“Don’t worry. Your sister-in-law is a graceful, generous, and adorable woman. She will certainly get along with you. You should trust Harvey,” Arielle assured him after realizing that he was truly worried.

Jared finally heaved a sigh of relief. A few days ago, he contacted Harvey and was told that his brother would be back a few days later. As it coincided with his holiday, he could take the chance to head back home to meet his sister-in-law and nephew.

After they chatted for some time, Arielle asked about Trisha.

Jared stuttered when Trisha’s name was mentioned, so Arielle immediately realized something was wrong. She asked, “Did you get into a fight with her?”

Jared massaged his brows. I wish we got into a fight.

“No!” Jared sounded frustrated as he explained, “One day, our friends joked that Trisha was my girlfriend, and I refuted them firmly. She happened to overhear our exchange and stopped talking to me ever since. I went to her, but she refused to see me. She has also ignored my calls and texts.”

Arielle couldn’t hide her surprise. It looks like Trisha has fallen in love with Jared. When did that happen? I don’t even have an inkling.

“Jared, be honest with me. How do you feel about Trisha?” she asked.

Jared was taken aback by the sudden question. Feelings? Aren’t we just friends? What else should I feel? What does she mean by that? Does she think that Trisha is in love with me just like my friends? That’s impossible. I didn’t even sense anything!

“Boss, do you think that Trisha is in love with me?” Jared asked carefully.

“If I’m not mistaken, yes,” came Arielle’s answer.

Jared felt helpless to hear her answer. What should I do? I don’t want to get into a relationship for the time being.

Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 1816 A Child

“Boss, I just want to be her friend,” Jared revealed after a brief hesitation. Arielle arched a brow. This is a tricky situation. “You don’t like Trisha?” she asked with her eyes narrowed.

Jared shook his head. “Yes, but I like her as a friend.” Arielle was of the opinion that Jared and Trisha looked like a perfect couple. They could lead a happy life together.

“What if Trisha doesn’t like you? What if she fell in love with another man and marry him? How will you feel?” Arielle questioned. Hearing that, Jared felt conflicted. I don’t think I like the feeling of Trisha falling in love with another man. Could it be that I’m in love with her too? He couldn’t figure out what his feelings were.

“Jared, it is rare for one to fall in love with a person. If she holds an important place in your heart, don’t you ever let her go,” Arielle advised him. “Boss, I’m confused. Let me think over this,” came Jared’s answer. “Mmm. I think you should think over this carefully.”

After the call ended, Vinson opened the door and came in. His brows furrowed up when he realized she was still awake. “Why aren’t you in bed yet?”

Arielle waved her phone and shot him a smile. “Jared called me, so I talked to him briefly. Why are you back this late? Have you had dinner?”

“There was some work piled up in the office, so I completed everything before coming home. I have had dinner. Rayson ordered takeaway for me,” Vinson explained. He then went into the bathroom to take a shower. It was twenty minutes later when he finally stepped out of the bathroom.

When Vinson emerged from the bathroom, freshly showered, Arielle was already asleep, hugging her phone. He took the hairdryer and went to the adjoining room to dry his hair. After drying his hair, he came back to their bedroom. He joined Arielle in bed, pulled her into his arms, and closed his eyes, taking in the scent of her hair.

The following morning, Arielle woke up to find herself curled up in Vinson’s arms. Vinson must be tired after working hard for the past two days.

With that thought in mind, she decided to get up and cook something delicious for him downstairs. She had barely moved when the man held her waist and pinned her down with his strong arms. Caught off guard, she toppled onto his body.

“Don’t move. Close your eyes for a bit. I shall head downstairs and cook something nourishing for you,” Arielle explained as she pressed a kiss to the corner of his mouth. Before she could get up, their positions were changed abruptly.

“I want to devour you,” Vinson declared as he gazed at Arielle passionately. Without waiting for her reply, he lowered his head and sealed her lips with a kiss.

His kiss was ardent and fervent. Arielle closed her eyes and responded to his kiss eagerly. When Vinson reached out to take a condom from the bedside drawer, Arielle stopped him from doing so.

“Vinson, let’s have a child.”

She wanted a child of their own.

Hearing that, Vinson hesitated briefly. He was traumatized after what happened to Sonia.

“Sannie, should we keep that for later?” Vinson asked. He knew Arielle loved kids, but the trauma still haunted him. Hence, he didn’t want her to get pregnant.

“If you can hold back from having sex with me, I will agree to not have kids.” Arielle knew Vinson wouldn’t be able to tamp his desire and waited for him to cave in. To her surprise, the man got up obediently.

Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 1817 Did You Have A Fight

“Vinson, you…” Arielle huffed angrily at the sight of Vinson walking into the bathroom and tossed a pillow in his direction.

Vinson understood why Arielle wanted a child, but he dared not bear the consequences that might come with her childbirth. Without a word, he picked up the pillow and placed it aside before heading into the bathroom.

Right after he walked away, Arielle put on her clothes and went downstairs furiously. He doesn’t want to have sex with me, huh? Let’s see how long he can persist. I don’t believe he can hold back his desire or vent it out using alternative ways!

In the living room, Susanne was reading the newspapers as she had woken up a while ago. She spotted Arielle stomping down the stairs angrily and arched a brow. Did they get into a fight?

With that thought in mind, she waved for Arielle to come over to her.

Arielle immediately composed her emotions when she saw Susanne. Joining her in the living room, she asked, “Mom, why did you wake up this early?”

Susanne chuckled and shook her head. “I’m old, so I don’t sleep that much now.” She gazed at Arielle and asked in concern, “Did you have a fight with Vinson?”

Arielle cast a surprised look in Susanne’s direction. When did Vinson and I get into a fight?

Confused, she shook her head. “No. Why?”

“You seemed to be in a foul mood, so I thought both of you had a fight.” Susanne was relieved to learn that they were fine. However, she still promised, “If my son makes you angry, let me know. I’ll make sure he learns his lesson.”

Hearing that, Arielle realized that Susanne assumed they had fought when she showed up looking all angry a while ago. Nevertheless, she wasn’t about to tell Susanne about their disagreement. After all, Susanne yearned for a grandchild and would fly into a rage if she discovered Vinson didn’t want Arielle to get pregnant.

“Thanks, Mom. I’ll surely let you know if he bullies me,” Arielle promised with her lips curled up as she slung her arm around Susanne’s. “Mom, what do you want for breakfast? I’ll cook today.”

I took Vinson to Turlen for over a year and have not been a filial daughter-in-law to her. This time, I must take good care of her and make it up for the lost time.

Susanne held Arielle’s slender hands. Her hands should be used to treat patients instead of cooking at home.

“I’m glad you think that way. I know you want to be a filial daughter-in-law. Helma is preparing breakfast, so stay here and talk to me.”

Arielle bobbed her head. They weren’t with her for over a year, so Susanne must’ve felt lonely all the time. Thus, she decided to stay and chat with Susanne.

As they chatted, Susanne seemed fatigued. Arielle grabbed the chance and placed her other hand on Susanne’s pulse nonchalantly.

Then, her brows knitted together for a brief moment. Afraid that Susanne would realize something, she pretended that everything was all right.

“Mom, how were you when we weren’t home? Were you well?” Arielle asked nonchalantly. “Vinson and I are back now, so please be honest with us.”

Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 1818 Planning For Children

Knowing that Arielle was worried about her health gave Susanne great satisfaction and made her think that her former desire for Wendy and Vinson to get together was incredibly silly. Just look at how thoughtful Arielle is. Even more so than my son.

“Don’t worry. I’m good. I occasionally get headaches, but after a nap, I’m fine,” Susanne replied as she patted the younger woman’s hand.

Hearing this, Arielle hurriedly suggested, “If that’s the case, I’ll take you to the hospital for a checkup today to see why your head hurts.”

Upon hearing that Arielle wanted to take her to the hospital, Susanne promptly refused, “Nothing happened to me, nor do I have any illness, so why should I go to the hospital? My head only hurts occasionally, and it must be because I didn’t rest well, so there’s no need to go to the hospital and occupy medical resources.”

“We’re merely going for a checkup, Mom. Just treat it as a physical examination. We’ll go together.” Arielle quickly added when she noticed that her mother-in-law still wanted to decline, “Aren’t you still eager to get a grandchild? Let’s go to the hospital together. I’ll do a pre-pregnancy checkup while you get a full-body checkup. Only when you’re healthy can you take care of your future grandchildren. After all, Vinson and I are very busy and have no time to look after the kids, so wouldn’t this heavy responsibility fall onto you?”

Susanne, who did not wish to go to the hospital at first, immediately changed her mind upon hearing the last part of Arielle’s speech. Arielle is right. They’re both very busy and will need me to look after the baby. If I’m not in good health, how can I take good care of the child?

“You’re right. I’ll go to the hospital with you after our meal.” Susanne gave Arielle a serious look as she spoke.

Only after Susanne agreed to her request did Arielle breathe a sigh of relief. She was afraid that the former would stubbornly refuse to go to the hospital as it would be troublesome.

“Sannie, how many children are you planning to have?” Susanne asked her daughter-in-law curiously. The present day isn’t like the old days when every family had several children. If my health hadn’t gone awry when I gave birth to Vinson, he would’ve had several younger siblings. Young people nowadays generally have one child, no matter whether it’s a boy or a girl. Although I respect their decision, I still think that it’s best to have two kids regardless of their gender, as this ensures that the children have a playmate and won’t feel lonely.

As soon as the subject of having children was brought up, Arielle immediately perked up and stretched out three fingers. Susanne widened her eyes in surprise.

“You want to have three kids?”

Arielle nodded at her with the corners of her lips slightly curled. “I adore children, so I want to have several so that when we’re no longer with them, they’ll still have each other and won’t be lonely.”

The knowledge of her daughter-in-law having the same thoughts as her caused Susanne to beam from ear to ear. “From now on, you mustn’t eat food that is harmful to your body. You must give birth to a healthy baby. You can tell me whatever you wish to eat, and I’ll make it for you.”

Although she also came from a wealthy family, she began to learn cooking after marrying Vinson’s father. No matter how busy her husband was, he would always make time to come home and eat with her as he loved her cooking.

This ritual continued up until the accident, and after his father’s passing, Vinson never allowed her back inside the kitchen out of concern that her sadness would be triggered by past memories.

However, for the sake of her grandchildren, she decided to step into the kitchen again.

Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 1819 Full Body Checkup

Arielle was aware that Susanne was looking forward to her having children but did not realize how much the latter was anticipating it. I guess I’ll have to talk Vinson into letting me conceive no matter what.

“Thank you, Mom!” she said with a bright smile. Vinson happened to hear Arielle thanking his mother as he was coming downstairs, and he immediately raised his eyebrow. “What are you thanking Mom for?”

When Arielle heard his question, she wanted to disregard him because of what had happened earlier but found it inappropriate to express her displeasure because Susanne was there.

However, that did not stop her from shifting her gaze to look at him slyly as she replied, “For her willingness to help raise our children, of course. Mom said that we should have as many kids as we can and that more than five is ideal. She’ll assist us in raising them.”

When Susanne heard Arielle’s words, she thought the latter was deliberately teasing her son, so she played along and said with a nod, “That’s right. When the time comes, you both can go to work and leave the children to me.”

Vinson was aware of how much Arielle and his mother desired children, but he genuinely could not handle the consequences of childbirth. Sonia’s incident had affected him too much.

She only had a chance of surviving because Arielle was there to save her at that very moment, but what will happen when it’s Arielle’s turn? If she faces the same situation, who can come to save her?

He dared not think about Arielle giving birth as he could not stand the thought of losing her.

However, with Susanne around, he could not reveal his anxieties.

“Thank you in advance, Mom.” As Vinson spoke, he glanced at the watch on his wrist. “I have a meeting at the company later, Mom, so I’ll head there first.”

When Arielle, who was still angry with him, heard that he was leaving for the company without eating, she promptly stopped him. “Breakfast is ready. Can’t you leave after that?”

“There’s not enough time for that. You need not worry. I’ll get Rayson to order a takeaway after the meeting.” After saying that, right before Susanne’s eyes, he walked up to Arielle, bent down, and kissed her forehead before turning around and heading out.

Vinson’s actions caused Arielle to blush. Susanne could tell right away that her daughter-in-law was embarrassed and commented with a smile, “You’re so easily embarrassed. I’m a very open-minded person, so there’s no need to feel shy because I’m here.”

Despite Susanne’s words, Arielle still felt very embarrassed and scolded Vinson inwardly.

Helma soon finished preparing breakfast and brought it to the table. Remembering that Susanne was going to do a full body checkup, Arielle suggested that she refrain from eating because some of the tests might require her to fast.

Susanne did not object, and after Arielle had taken a few bites, she brought her mother-in-law to the hospital.

Arielle refused when Susanne asked her to go for her checkup first and told the older woman that she wanted to accompany her mother-in-law for the checkup. Susanne could not convince her otherwise, so she had no choice but to allow it.

The hospital they went to belonged to Nightshire Group, and the director immediately provided them direct access when informed that the two had come for a checkup.

“Give my mother-in-law a full body checkup, and pay special attention to her head. She occasionally suffers from headaches,” Arielle instructed with a frown.

In actuality, she was very worried about Susanne’s health. It’s not too bad if I can heal whatever ailment she has, but if even I am powerless…

She did not dare to think further and could only hope that the results were good.

Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 1820 Want To Challenge Me

After Susanne had completed her checkup, she urged Arielle to do hers. The earliest they could get their results was the next day, so after they were both done with their checkups, Susanne took Arielle shopping, something they had never done before.

“Try this dress on, Sannie. You’ll look beautiful in it.” Susanne took a dress and handed it to her daughter-in-law beside her, asking her to try it on.

Arielle did not care what she wore, but seeing Susanne’s enthusiasm made her reluctant to ruin her mood. After all, Susanne didn’t have a daughter of her own, and Vinson, who is a grownup now, is so busy every day that he doesn’t have time to let his mom help him match his outfits. Since she wishes to dress me up now, I’ll let her do whatever makes her happy.

With that thought in mind, Arielle took the dress and went to the fitting room to try it on while Susanne made use of the opportunity to select a variety of clothing and set them aside for Arielle to try on later. If they look good on her, I’ll buy them all for her.

Arielle opened the door and walked out of the fitting room after changing into the dress.

“Does it look good on me?” Arielle curled her lips into a smile, saying softly while looking at Susanne, who was staring back at her.

“Of course it looks good on my daughter-in-law. The dress may be pretty, but you’re prettier. You truly look lovely wearing it,” Susanne immediately praised. After saying that, she pointed to the clothes on the couch beside her. “Sannie, I think that you can pull off these styles beautifully. Why don’t you try them all on?”

Arielle followed Susanne’s finger and glanced at the couch. She was immediately astounded to see that there were around twenty to thirty outfits. With this many clothes, when will I finish trying them on? Moreover, my closet has more than enough clothes, and even if I were to pull them out now and wear them, they wouldn’t be out of fashion.

Even if I’m that unlucky, I’m not afraid since I plan to locate a store in the next two days and bring Pat and my adoptive parents over once the place has been renovated. I can feel at ease getting ready for pregnancy with my adoptive parents running a clinic, and many risks can be avoided with them around when I’m giving birth, but…
