Chapter 1138 As Pretty As You
Arielle woke up early in the morning and assumed that Vinson was still sleeping at that hour. Thus, seeing him
standing at the doorway in a trance when she opened the door gave her a fright. Although she had no idea how
long he had been standing there, she did notice the cigarette butts on the ground.
It took her a second to return to her senses. “Why are you here? When did you arrive?”
“Five,” came his answer as he offered her a bouquet out of nowhere.
Arielle glanced at the bouquet and realized it did not contain flowers. Instead, it was a bouquet of wheat stalks.
The golden wheat stalks symbolized that her restaurant would prosper.
After giving her the bouquet, Vinson planted a kiss on her forehead and congratulated her. “Mrs. Nightshire,
congratulations on the opening of your new restaurant. I hope your business will flourish.”

Feeling emotional, she choked out, “You… Well…”
The man chuckled. “What about me?”
“You’re a fool! Even if you want to give me flowers, there’s no need to wait outside early in the morning.”
Vinson shook his head. “If I don’t wait here earlier than usual, I’m afraid you won’t wake me up and head to the
restaurant without informing me.”
Hearing that, Arielle covered her nose and coughed lightly.
He was right; she was not planning on waking him up.
After all, Vinson had taken time out of his busy schedule to visit her in Lightspring. Last night, he only finished
working in the wee hours. Thus, she could not bring herself to disturb his rest.
After a few seconds of silence, she flung her arms around him.
“Thank you…”
She might think of Vinson as a fool, but it did not stop her from feeling like the happiest girl in the world.
There was nothing to complain about a man who waited outside her door before sunrise just to give her a bouquet
and congratulate her on the opening of her restaurant.
Vinson’s gaze softened as he hugged her back.
Arielle felt his body temperature warming up her body through the thin fabric of their clothes.
Initially, she was nervous that her restaurant would not do well after the opening, but Vinson’s hug provided
invisible energy that calmed her heart down.
“I’m afraid I can’t keep you company today,” he said apologetically. “I have a last-minute meeting at Wildefield.”
Wildefield was four hours away from Jadeborough by car. His meeting was one in the afternoon, and he had a lunch
meeting scheduled before that.
Arielle gave an understanding nod. “It’s okay. I managed to establish Sann Group, so managing the opening of a
branch is nothing to me.”
Vinson replied, “All right. I’ll leave Rayson with you. If you need anything, just let him know. He’ll be of help.”

“Half an hour later.” He then winked and asked, “Ms. Moore, can I have the honor of inviting you to enjoy a local
breakfast with me?”
That evoked a giggle from her. “Your wish is granted.”
“Thank you!” Vinson gave a polite bow.
A few minutes later, the black MPV rolled to a stop before an alley.
At the entrance of it was an old breakfast stall.
Though it was only six in the morning, the seats were all taken.
A table happened to be vacated the moment Arielle and Vinson went over to the stall.
While clearing the table, the owner greeted Vinson, “Hello! You’re not alone today.”
The latter nodded. “Yes, I’m here with my wife.”
Glancing at Arielle in surprise, the owner praised, “Oh, you’re lucky! Your wife is as pretty as you.”
Arielle was initially embarrassed, but she covered her lips and giggled at the owner’s words.
