Chapter 568
Chapter: 568 “Yeah! You don’t have to thank me. It’s my pleasure,” Aziel replied with a sincere smile.
Ariana felt even more embarrassed. Aziel was really a kind person and he was a loyal fan of Sarah. He always helped her without ulterior motives.
“Ariana, let’s get in the car and leave the airport first,” Sarah suddenly said with a gleam in her eyes. Without waiting for Ariana’s response, Sarah quickly got in the car and sat on the back seat. Ariana joined her in the car.
It had been a while since Sarah and Alina had seen each other and they had the chance to reunite today. They had been chatting a lot in the car. Ariana was still curious about the hickey on Sarah's neck, but since they were not alone in the car, she had to hold back her questions.
After a while in the car, Ariana felt something was wrong. Alina was naturally distant towards people. Although Alina didn’t openly push her away, Ariana could tell that Alina was just being polite to her.
However, Alina seemed very close with Aziel. For example, at one point during the ride, Alina blurted out, “Lollipop.” Before Ariana could answer, Aziel took a lollipop out of the armrest and gave it to Alina.
Alina took it and thanked Aziel.
Ariana nudged Sarah and asked in surprise, “Since when did Alina get so close to Aziel?”
Sarah smiled awkwardly, “Before when | was too busy with my work, | often asked Aziel to take care of Alina.”
“You know it’s not good to bother strangers all the time...”
Ariana said in a low voice. Before she could finish her words, she was suddenly interrupted by Alina. Alina said in a clear voice, “Uncle Aziel is not a stranger.”
Ariana paused and looked at Alina with her eyes narrowed.
Without looking up, Alina pinched the toy and suddenly added, “Mommy said that.”
The entire car fell into silence.
It was not until then that Ariana noticed that Aziel’s collar was pulled up as if to cover something. She suddenly thought of the red hickey on Sarah’s neck and looked at Sarah with wide open eyes. “You...”
Sarah put her hands together and said earnestly, “I’m sorry. We're together!”
Shortly after, they arrived at Sarah’s new residence. After the unsettling incident with Alina, Sarah had made the decision to move to a secluded and upscale community to seek refuge from the prying eyes of the media, a place where the relentless harassment of the paparazzi would hopefully be kept at bay. The dwelling she now called home was a charming two-story duplex, boasting a cozy and minimalist interior design.
Aziel took Alina to the bedroom while Ariana settled herself on the sofa opposite Sarah, wearing a serious expression. “Tell me, when did it all begin?”
Sarah, overcome with guilt and a tinge of shyness, hesitated before responding, “It all started during the time when | received the performance notice. | found myself confined to my home, grappling with a desperate search for creative inspiration.
Alina’s constant presence by my side made it challenging for me to find peace and focus on my work. | was feeling frustrated, desperate even.”
