Chapter 130: Don’t Be Surprised, Girl
“The one who looks like me… is he the reason why you don’t reject me but refuse me?”
“Do you want to wake everyone up at midnight?” Arianna begged him. The puppy, who hadn’t completed his mission, barked twice, and immediately, his mouth was pinched and shut by her.
“You should at least let me know why I lost. If you like him, I don’t mind being a substitute. If you can’t bear seeing the same face, I don’t mind doing plastic surgery.”
“Vince, have you come to mock me?”
“Why the more serious I am, the more you think I’m joking?”
A cough from behind at a distance let the two shut up. York came out of the house and walked close to them and said, “Arianna, why don’t you open the door?”
“I don’t have the key.”
York said, “I will get it.”
“No thanks, York. I came out to walk the dog and happened to meet Arianna, who was also walking. I’m just about to leave.” Vince changed his face very quickly and immediately turned into the look of a gentleman from the infatuated man a while ago.
“Oh… okay, it’s late. You’d better rest earlier.”
“Know it, goodbye.”
When York walked Arianna back, he said, “I think Vince was real. Girls had chased him since thirteen, and I never heard of him chasing any woman.”
“Don’t you think we don’t match each other?”
“It’s destiny that does the work. There is no such thing as matching.” York added, “Well, just let it be. Anyway, he will be leaving too after a few days.”
Twenty minutes later, Arianna returned to the bedroom and continued the conversation with Vince, interrupted by York midway on the phone. This time she took the initiative to call him.
“You like me, and I’m honored. But just let’s look at it as a good encounter, and don’t let it affect our lives.”
Vince hesitated and said on the other side of the phone, “That man…”
“My relationship with him is not like what you thought. Please don’t ever mention him again, okay?”
“How do you know what I imagined?”
“… Vince, I hate people investigating me.”
After being silent for a long time, Vince said, “I want to marry you.”
“Not going to happen.”
“Arianna, don’t blame me for having the look of someone you hate.”
“So? I do mind your face, but even if you change your face, I will not marry you.”
“Because I also have the exact same genes as him?”
Arianna was stunned for two seconds and then hung up the phone in a panic. In her previous conversation with Lady Johnson, the old lady had been conveying such a message to her that, after he caught the amnesia, Vince didn’t know that he was one of the twins. And Lady Johnson didn’t want him to know. Arianna didn’t expect Vince to unveil this secret in one sentence.
Arianna didn’t sleep well all night again. She was thinking about why she was not willing to accept Vince. Her body was more sensitive than her heart. Whoever she didn’t like approached her within one meter would make her feel sick, but she did not reject Vince.
However, she psychologically resisted him strongly. Perhaps because his face looked more and more like Travis, or perhaps his voice and tone were more and more like Travis. And even his abnormal manner of the proposal for marriage felt almost the same as Travis’s manner in sending her the gift.
In the end, Arianna decided “making her sleepless” to be the most reasonable excuse for her refusal of Vince.
The next day, Arianna went to say goodbye to Lady Johnson.
That day was the day when Arianna and Lady Johnson got along well with each other.
The old lady was no longer aggressive, and she even told the big secret to Arianna about how she got to know she had another grandson.
The secret was as simple as recorded with one sentence in Vince’s memo.
Vince used a few words and used various language codes. Fortunately, the old lady played the trick with Vince when he was a child. After the accident, the old lady translated the secret language and then destroyed the record.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Lady Johnson said, “Does it sound like a movie? The two of them were in the same city, far away from here and Country C. They heard a message on the radio looking for a rare blood type, so they met in a hospital.”
“They tell the truth to you?”
“Yes. The other child had known his birth story long before, but he refused to recognize me. When he was on the edge of destruction, he would rather make a bet and not turn to me.” The old lady’s fingers were trembling.
“If he had come to you at that time, would you have recognized him?”
“I wouldn’t let others know Vince had such a mother. It would affect his position and future in this family. But I could have helped the other child, and he would’ve suffered a lot less.”
“So, he didn’t come to you.”
“You know him very well.”
Arianna said, “Vince… I mean, your grandson might have known something.”
The old lady sighed for a long time and didn’t express her opinion on this issue. She was silent for a while and then raised a new topic, “I heard that on the day of the harvest festival, my grandson was with you all night?” Before Arianna changed her look, Lady Johnson added, “And you refused his proposal?”
Arianna didn’t know what to say. “Don’t be surprised, girl. Of course, he didn’t tell me. Such a shameful thing, how could he tell?”
Arianna was silent for a long time. The old lady said, “For what reason did you refuse my grandson? Is he looking too much like that child, or not like that child?”
“Madam, can we change the topic?”
“Okay, change the topic. In fact, you are not suitable for my granddaughter-in-law, not well-behaved, disobedient, and not sweet.”
Arianna whispered, “Yes, that’s why I refused him.”
The old lady laughed loudly. A servant came to tell the lady lunch was ready. She reached out to Arianna, “Help me get up, girl.”
In addition to the two at the table of the family feast, Vince and his second uncle Henry Johnson were present. The meal was very embarrassing because Vince and Henry were discussing business all the time, and they had disputes.
