Chapter 516
Just when Henrick was about to follow after Cindy, Arielle tugged his sleeves and asked gently, “Dad. After Shandie’s funeral, will you be sending Aunt Cindy back?”
Henrick paused for a moment as he studied Arielle for a moment before continuing, “Sannie, can I ask you a
question? Do you hope that Cindy will not be back?”
Arielle smiled and replied, “How is that possible, Dad. She’s my aunt and is your current wife. If she can come back and reunite with you, I’ll definitely be happy. But…”
“But what?”
Arielle then shook her head, forced out a smile, and waved her hands. “It’s nothing much. It’s just some rumors. I think it’s better that you don’t hear them.”
However, Henrick got more curious about it and asked with a frown, “Tell me. There’s nothing that I can’t take on.”
With that, Arielle bit her lips and said uncomfortably, “I think it’s better that I don’t tell you, Dad. The doctors and nurses were probably too bored that they start spreading rumors. Please don’t take it to heart.”
Upon hearing Arielle’s reply, Henrick did not further question. However, his brows tightened further.
He secretly made a memo of this in his head and walked toward Cindy casually.
After seeing Henrick leave, Vinson then walked toward Arielle and whispered, “What plans do you have now that Cindy is back?”
Arielle stared at the scene of Cindy and Henrick walking away side-by-side. She then turned toward Vinson and asked, “The psychiatric hospital belongs to Carter, right? Can you ask him to do me a favor?”
“Sure.”
Arielle then nodded and whispered a few words to Vinson’s ears.
Vinson could not help but laugh upon hearing her and remarked, “Your plan is indeed brilliant.”
Arielle lowered her head helplessly and replied, “You’re so childish, Vinson.
Vinson did not refute but nodded. “Well, I guess so.”
If I was mature enough, I probably will not need to do my research every day to find out how to pursue Arielle.
Not long later, the car heading to the crematorium arrived.
Arielle followed behind those who were carrying the coffin.
The weather had been very hot recently. Besides, Shandie’s body had been in the backyard for over a week. Hence, it had started to smell.
Arielle was afraid that Vinson, who had been living a comfortable life, could not take on the smell. Hence, she whispered to him, “Vinson, you can head on to do your own stuff. I can handle the matters over here.”
“It’s all-” Even before Vinson could finish his sentence, he received a phone call from Carter.
