Chapter 1409 I Was Indeed Too Shallow
That remark of Arielle’s shocked Lawrence greatly. He thought that she was only willing to save his father because
of Sonia’s remarkable identity. I never expected her to actually have such kindness. Admittedly, I was indeed too
shallow.
On the contrary, Aaron detested Arielle’s attitude toward Sonia and Lawrence. He felt that she was too good to
them compared to him, so he was secretly sulking.
“She performed an operation for several hours, so she undoubtedly hasn’t eaten. I’ll-” Before he had even finished
speaking, Sonia happily said to Arielle, “Ms. Moore, I know of a restaurant near this hospital with plenty of delicious
food. I’ll bring you there for a meal!”
It so happened that Arielle wanted to build a close relationship with Sonia, for she wanted to look for her biological
father through the latter. As such, she didn’t turn her down.
“Sure!” Having said that with a smile, she went to change out of the surgical gown.

face.
While Arielle was perturbed by it, she didn’t push her away.
Meanwhile, Aaron’s cold eyes narrowed into slits. Isn’t she simply too ignorant? Can’t she tell that I want to take
Arielle out for a meal alone? What right does she have to snatch her away?
“Sonia, you’ve still got to take care of your grandfather, so I’ll bring her out for a bite instead,” he offered with a
dark expression on his face.
If it were in the past, Sonia would definitely be chagrined at Arielle if the man said that.
After such an incident that day, however, she felt that his words couldn’t affect her in the slightest.
She, too, had presently grown to like Arielle.
Besides, there were many people taking care of her grandfather in the hospital, so her presence at that time made
no difference. All she wanted was to have a meal with Arielle and get to know her better.
“Grandpa is still unconscious now, and it’s uncertain when he’ll regain consciousness. I’m not needed here, with my
parents and the team of doctors and nurses keeping an eye on him. I’ll treat Ms. Moore to a meal first before
returning to the hospital after driving Ms. Moore back after the meal.”
Disregarding Aaron’s mood, she sashayed over to the elevator doors with a hand on Arielle’s arm.
Damn her!
Aaron stared at the backs of them both with a gloomy look in his eyes. Not only did she intercept me from treating
Arielle to a meal, but she even headed off my offer to drive her back. This is just too much!
Snorting, he made a phone call. Shortly after, Sonia received a call from a teacher that he had finished reading the
thesis she wrote earlier and had something to discuss with her.
As it was a rare opportunity for her to treat Arielle to a meal, Sonia couldn’t be bothered about her thesis. She
murmured an acknowledgment before hanging up the phone.
When Aaron went downstairs and saw that she hadn’t left yet, he couldn’t help frowning. Didn’t that teacher say
that she has agreed to go back to school to look for him? Why is she still here?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Aaron, I want to treat Ms. Moore to a meal. You may leave first if you’ve got something to do,” Sonia asserted
warily, afraid that he would steal Arielle away. She had forgotten all about her having targeted the latter in hopes of
marrying him.
Hearing that, Aaron was entirely dumbfounded.
Why am I the one to leave?
“You don’t have the time to treat her to a meal! Didn’t your teacher ask you to go and see him for something?”
Aaron retorted with a harrumph, failing to hold himself back.
Sonia was momentarily startled before she glared at him in displeasure. Ugh! How utterly despicable! He actually
colluded with my teacher to dupe me just to prevent me from treating Ms. Moore to a meal. I’ve really misjudged
him. I never expected him to be a person who’d sabotage others behind the scenes!
Since even Sonia could discern that, Arielle naturally surmised that as well.
She heard Sonia answering the call herself just now, and Aaron was still upstairs at that time.
Hence, it made no sense that he would know about Sonia’s teacher seeking her out unless he covertly sought her
teacher out.
