Chapter 1409


    Chapter 1409 I Was Indeed Too Shallow


    That remark of Arielle’s shocked Lawrence greatly. He thought that she was only willing to save his


    father because of Sonia’s remarkable identity. I never expected her to actually have such kindness.


    Admittedly, I was indeed too shallow.


    On the contrary, Aaron detested Arielle’s attitude toward Sonia and Lawrence. He felt that she was too


    good to thempared to him, so he was secretly sulking.


    “She performed an operation for several hours, so she undoubtedly hasn’t eaten. I’ll-” Before he had


    even finished speaking, Sonia happily said to Arielle, “Ms. Moore, I know of a restaurant near this


    hospital with plenty of delicious food. I’ll bring you there for a meal!”

    It so happened that Arielle wanted to build a close rtionship with Sonia, for she wanted to look for


    her biological father through thetter. As such, she didn’t turn her down.


    “Sure!” Having said that with a smile, she went to change out of the surgical gown.


    Sonia eagerly trailed after her. When Arielle came out after changing, Sonia took her arm with a bright


    smile on her face.


    While Arielle was perturbed by it, she didn’t push her away.


    Meanwhile, Aaron’s cold eyes narrowed into slits. Isn’t she simply too ignorant? Can’t she tell that I


    want to take Arielle out for a meal alone? What right does she have to snatch her away?


    “Sonia, you’ve still got to take care of your grandfather, so I’ll bring her out for a bite instead,” he offered


    with a dark expression on his face.


    If it were in the past, Sonia would definitely be chagrined at Arielle if the man said that.


    After such an incident that day, however, she felt that his words couldn’t affect her in the slightest.


    She, too, had presently grown to like Arielle.


    Besides, there were many people taking care of her grandfather in the hospital, so her presence at that


    time made no difference. All she wanted was to have a meal with Arielle and get to know her better.


    “Grandpa is still unconscious now, and it’s uncertain when he’ll regain consciousness. I’m not needed


    here, with my parents and the team of doctors and nurses keeping an eye on him. I’ll treat Ms. Moore


    to a meal first before returning to the hospital after driving Ms. Moore back after the meal.”


    Disregarding Aaron’s mood, she sashayed over to the elevator doors with a hand on Arielle’s arm.


    Damn her!


    Aaron stared at the backs of them both with a gloomy look in his eyes. Not only did she intercept me


    from treating Arielle to a meal, but she even headed off my offer to drive her back. This is just too


    much!


    Snorting, he made a phone call. Shortly after, Sonia received a call from a teacher that he had finished


    reading the thesis she wrote earlier and had something to discuss with her.


    As it was a rare opportunity for her to treat Arielle to a meal, Sonia couldn’t be bothered about her


    thesis. She murmured an acknowledgment before hanging up the phone.


    When Aaron went downstairs and saw that she hadn’t left yet, he couldn’t help frowning. Didn’t that


    teacher say that she has agreed to go back to school to look for him? Why is she still here?


    “Aaron, I want to treat Ms. Moore to a meal. You may leave first if you’ve got something to do,” Sonia


    asserted warily, afraid that he would steal Arielle away. She had forgotten all about her having targeted


    thetter in hopes of marrying him.


    Hearing that, Aaron was entirely dumbfounded.


    Why am I the one to leave?


    “You don’t have the time to treat her to a meal! Didn’t your teacher ask you to go and see him for


    something?” Aaron retorted with a harrumph, failing to hold himself back.


    Sonia was momentarily startled before she red at him in displeasure. Ugh! How utterly despicable!


    He actually colluded with my teacher to dupe me just to prevent me from treating Ms. Moore to a meal.


    I’ve really misjudged him. I never expected him to be a person who’d sabotage others behind the


    scenes!


    Since even Sonia could discern that, Arielle naturally surmised that as well.


    She heard Sonia answering the call herself just now, and Aaron was still upstairs at that time.


    Hence, it made no sense that he would know about Sonia’s teacher seeking her out unless he covertly


    sought her teacher out.
