NOVPUBChapter 1189: 537 Picking Flowers (second update)_4 Chapter 1189: 537 Picking Flowers (second update)_4 Aubree Groove shook her head, “Let’s talk about it later.”
“So, you’re agreeing.” Edric Lewis said joyously.
Aubree Groove looked at the black-clothed man on the ground, “The danger hasn’t passed yet.
From now on, you have to listen to me.”
Edric Lewis nodded repeatedly, “I will listen to everything Master says.”
Sheila Cook also said, “I will also listen to Sister Aubree Groove.”
Aubree Groove heard footsteps approaching, and said to the two, “Follow me.”
As she spoke, she hoisted the man in black on the ground and quickly headed deeper into the May Forest.
The two held hands, trusting Aubree Groove unconditionally, and followed her without a second thought.
The person who arrived was Anton Cook.
He was never comfortable with Sheila Cook being alone outside.
He left the mahjong table and followed her, but there was no one to be seen in the May Forest.
...
Anton Cook frowned, “Sheila?”
Only the howling wind and snow responded to him.
Anton Cook switched on his phone flashlight and shone it on the ground.
He discovered scattered footprints on the snow, clear signs of a struggle.
Judging by the size of the footprints, apart from Edric Lewis and Sheila Cook, there were two others—one was a servant’s and the last belonged to an adult man…
Anton Cook cursed under his breath and yelled at the oncoming Isaac White, “Go and inform my elder brother and Madam Lewis quickly.
Something has happened, Sheila and Edric have been kidnapped.”
Upon saying this, he headed in the direction indicated by the footprints.
Isaac White realized the gravity of the situation and immediately turned to go, but ran into Charlotte Aria who had come up behind him.
Charlotte Aria asked in surprise, “What happened?”
Isaac White gave her a cold glance, “Sheila and Edric have been kidnapped.
They were kidnapped at the Aria’s house.
How will you explain this to Mr.
Cook and Madam Lewis?”
Charlotte Aria stood there, dumbfounded, and exclaimed in disbelief, “How is this possible?”
Isaac White stepped past her, heading straight for the main hall.
Charlotte Aria cast a glance towards the direction of May Forest.
The darkness seemed like a beast’s gaping maw, making her unconsciously step back.

Seraphine Moore walked briskly, hearing the footsteps behind her, her lips curled into a smirk.
The thing Ms.
Aria had given her was indeed very useful.
As expected, Peter Aria saw the thing she had dropped and impulsively followed her.
Neither of them noticed the little tail that was secretly following them from not too far behind.
Seraphine Moore opened the door to her room and walked in, followed a moment later by Peter Aria.
Seraphine Moore turned around with a smile, “Dr.
Aria, it’s been a while.”
Peter Aria narrowed his eyes, “It’s you?
How did this end up with you?”
Peter Aria held up his hand, revealing a delicately crafted silver lock.
It was the silver lock that he had lost in Pethkids and had been picked up by Thelonius Moore.
Seraphine Moore walked over to close the door and bolted it, then started to unbutton her blouse.
“One moment of spring evening is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
Dr.
Aria, let us begin now.”
Peter Aria immediately retreated a step.
Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and he steadied himself on a flower stand nearby, his breath faltering.
He stared at Seraphine Moore with clenched teeth, “How dare you resort to such despicable means.
Who put you up to this?”
Seraphine Moore removed her coat and walked step by step towards Peter Aria, “Dr.
Aria, do you know how much I love you?
But you…
you never even spared me a glance, what’s wrong with me?”
“My dream in this life is to marry you, to bear and raise your children, to be a dutiful wife.
Nobody in this world loves you more than I do…”
“You’re shameless.” Peter Aria spat out.
“You can scorn me all you want, but from today onward, I am yours.
The Aria family values their reputation; they won’t allow their eldest son to become a man who first induces and then abandons.”
Seraphine Moore’s cheeks were flushed, her eyes seductive.
She seemed to have already immersed herself in a beautiful fantasy.
“Tsk tsk, how exciting, Dr.
Aria, considering this young lady’s heartfelt feelings for you, why not just accept her?”
A sudden teasing voice caused Seraphine Moore’s face to change drastically.
When she whirled around, she saw a woman sitting relaxed on the bed, legs crossed and munching on an apple.
Next to the woman was a man gazing at her tenderly.
She didn’t recognize the woman’s face, but the man was Vanessa Aria’s fiancé, Violetta Gartia.
The two didn’t seem to care how long they had been sitting there or how much of the show they saw.
Seraphine Moore’s voice was sharp, “Who are you?
How can you be here?”
