Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire

Chapter 1654 Do You Have A Death Wish

"Who asked you to come here? Do you have a death wish?" Aaron snapped at the intruder.

Doesn't she know that she's a wanted criminal? Does she wish to die?

Arielle was visibly taken aback. Just a few days ago, Aaron was just looking at her with pure hatred. Why does he sound like he cares about me now?

She looked at Aaron and asked, "Are you worried about me, Aaron?"

Aaron grimaced. "Who cares about you?"

He just did not wish to see his father's favorite daughter harmed as he did not give a dime about Arielle.

"Aaron, it doesn't matter whether you care to admit it or not, but you are always my little brother and that remains forever," Arielle said before heading toward the casket.

Tears brimmed in Arielle's eyes as soon as she spotted Dylan lying to rest in the casket.

Her heart wrenched at the sight. Dylan was forever gone before she could spend more time with him.

"Dad, I will avenge you. I will not let those who have harmed you go unaccounted," Arielle said as she wept.

Meanwhile, Aaron was still reeling in from the shock after hearing the words by Arielle.

She said that I am always her little brother and that remains forever whether I care to admit it or not. What could she possibly mean by that? Does she mean that she is willing to recognize me as her brother? He eyed Arielle who was standing before him as bitterness swelled in his heart. But, all I ever wanted was...

"Aaron, I know you wish to avenge Dad. However, you don't have any real power in your hands. Hence, you should act with caution, and do not confront her hastily," Arielle said.

Needless to say, Aaron knew exactly who Arielle was referring to.

"That is my business. You need not meddle in them. Get lost! I don't want to see you!" Aaron shot daggers at Arielle and warned her in a low voice.

Arielle was baffled by his sudden temper and wished that she could punch him in the face.

"Listen to me. Do not lose the war while trying to win a mere battle," Arielle said before she left the church.

Aaron stared blankly in the direction in which her shadow disappeared into the darkness for a moment before turning to look at the casket in front of him. "Father, I will protect her on your behalf."

Meanwhile, Melissa rushed back home from Lisa's place after knowing that Matthew had gone home. When she was back in their room, she noticed that Matthew was already in the shower. It was the first time that he headed right for the shower after getting home. She chuckled and sat by the bedside as she clutched a book in her hand to pass the time as she waited for Matthew to get out of the shower. Matthew was afraid that Nancy's scent would linger on his clothing. Hence, he chucked his clothes right into the washing machine right after taking them off. He wrapped himself in a towel and came out of the shower after he was done.

Melissa lifted her head when she heard the sound of the door creaking open. She was her usual poise and elegant self. Matthew felt a crippling sense of guilt at the sight of her calm and gentle face.

How could I cheat on her?

"Hurry up and get dressed. Otherwise, you're going to catch a cold," Melissa said as she got up to fetch some pajamas for her husband.

Melissa headed to the bathroom right after. She wanted to put his soiled clothes into the washing machine.

Matthew reached out to take her hand before she could head into the bathroom. She turned around and looked at her husband and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I've put the clothes in the washing machine," Matthew explained. Then, he led her to the bed and asked, "How are you feeling? Any better?"

Melissa felt her heart skip a beat.
