Chapter 1118 I Miss You
Arielle thought about it for a while and agreed with his sentiments.
Bad people who did bad things would never contemplate what would ensue if they were caught.
It was the same as Cecilia doing drugs. She wanted that moment of thrill and never thought
about the consequences.
After a soft hum of agreement, Arielle queried, “When will you be done with your work?”
“What’s the matter?” Vinson let out a chuckle and asked, “Do you miss me?”
She was silent for two seconds before tightening her grip on the phone. “Yeah, I miss you.”
Right as those words left her mouth, she felt her heart racing.
Technically, both of them were an old married couple. Yet, she still felt shy from saying that she
missed him.
When Vinson heard her words, he was also quiet for a moment. Then, he said, “I’ll buy the plane
ticket now. No, I’ll come by helicopter.”

in motion. Come to me only when you’re done, or maybe I’ll come to you once I find the clues
I’m looking for.”
“Then I’ll come right after I’m done with the projects in Jadeborough. At the latest, I’ll come before the day after
tomorrow.”
“All right.”
At that, warmth welled up in her heart. The two of them then talked on the phone for a while longer. Although they
were both on the call, they were busy with their own things. Once in a while, they would ask each other if they were
still there, and a smile would appear on their faces upon hearing the other person’s confirmation.
Only when Trisha reminded Arielle to eat her dinner did the latter end the call reluctantly.
Smiling, Trisha teased, “Everyone says that a long-distance relationship will make you understand how important
your partner is, and it seems like that’s really the case. Sannie, when will the two of you deliver me the good
news?”
“The good news?”
“Your wedding!”
Arielle lowered her gaze and chuckled. “It’ll be soon, I think.”
Although the two of them had already registered their marriage, barely anyone knew about it. It was as if they
were still unmarried.
Regardless, she had a hunch that the wedding would happen in the near future.
Right after dinner, Arielle received a call from Vinson again. It was a video call.
“I’ve just received an update that Donovan’s at the airport again. He’s bought a ticket to head back to Lightspring.”
Shocked, she asked, “He’s back so soon? What did he do in Jadeborough?”
“My men aren’t sure about the details, but he has only gone to one place after returning to Chanaea.”
“Where?”
“His office in Jadeborough University. He was in there for about twenty minutes, and when he came back out, he
had a paper bag with him. I reckon he must have returned to get that, but I don’t know what’s inside yet. Do you
need me to get the Specialized Forces to stop and search him by saying it’s a routine inspection?”
“No need.” Arielle shook her head. Staring at Vinson’s face on the screen, she said, “He won’t

Vinson’s lips curled into a smirk. “His expression at that moment must have been quite a show.”
His remark evoked a chuckle from her. “It’s all right. Nevertheless, the look on his face back
then was worth celebrating.”
Time passed by in the blink of an eye. Soon, it was the night before the day of Maxwell
University’s graduates’ thesis defense.
The students who opted to delay their thesis defense were separated from the current
graduates, and the panel would not be their mentors but the university administrators.
Arielle would be representing the president of Maxwell University in the thesis defense
committee for the students with delayed graduation.
In other words, she would be able to see the wonderful expressions that would cross Donovan’s
face again.
On Donovan’s trip back to Chanaea, he did find a question that fit the theme of his thesis among
the papers completed by Arielle.
Once he returned to Maxwell University, he quickly used Arielle’s solution as the last example he
was missing in his thesis.
