Free Web NovelChapter 1136: Chapter 1136: No Contact, No Need for Contact
"... This play made a lot of money for Era. Do you really not feel guilty about your opinion, Mr. Seys?" Ariel Morris chuckled softly, "My brother even advertised for you for free, letting you earn a fortune."
"If it weren’t for Lydia Brooke acting in this play, would he have been so generous to advertise it? It’s just a tactic to pursue Lydia Brooke. His target is Lydia, and my target is for this play to be a big hit. We both benefit mutually, a pleasant collaboration," Arlo Seys replied, glancing at his wife.
Ariel Morris snuggled into Arlo Seys’ arms, found a more comfortable position, and replied with a smile, "Heartthrob, don’t profit and still act innocent. This play becoming a hit brings profits to Era. Look at what good script Era is starting with for TV shows and movies, and prioritize my future sister-in-law." Ariel Morris thought for a moment and added seriously, "This is called keeping the fortune in the family."
Arlo Seys curled his lips slightly, "Mrs. Seys, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. To help your future sister-in-law from your maiden family with resources, you have to exchange something of equal value." Arlo Seys tightened his embrace around Ariel Morris as he spoke.
Ariel Morris turned off the computer, lay directly on top of Arlo Seys, and giggled charmingly, "How about I send you a campus queen-level beauty?"
Arlo Seys laughed softly, holding Ariel Morris closer, "This campus queen has its flaws. If it weren’t for me, Dawn, and Nico helping you rally votes back then, do you think you could have won the crown?"
Ariel Morris rubbed her face against Arlo Seys’ cheek, pouting, "Heartthrob, no girl will like you if you talk like that!"
Arlo Seys laughed, his eyes filled with a gentle starlight. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Ariel Morris climbed off Arlo Seys, "I’m going to find Nicole to binge-watch shows. Watching shows with you guys means no common language."
"..."
Ariel Morris, carrying her laptop, knocked on Nicole’s room door.
It took a moment before there was any movement inside.
The door opened, and Ariel Morris walked in with her laptop, smiling happily, "Let’s binge-watch shows together, Nicole. What are you doing?"
Nicole was wrapped in a bath towel, searching for clothes in front of her wardrobe, and replied, "I just got out of the shower and was planning to find something to wear."
Ariel Morris lay down on Nicole’s bed with her laptop, "Don’t change, do it later. Come watch the exciting part!"
Nicole, faced with Ariel Morris’s urging, had no choice but to lie on the bed with her wearing only her bath towel.
"Nicole, look at this, it’s so thrilling! I love Lydia Brooke’s boldness!" Ariel Morris said excitedly, grabbing Nicole’s hand. As she slightly turned her head unintentionally, she glimpsed the tattoo on Nicole’s right shoulder, momentarily stunned.
"Nicole..." Ariel Morris’s voice suddenly turned a bit heavy, her gaze shifting, "Do you still have any connection with Jose Floyd? I mean... since you went to the army for so long, is there any contact between you two?"
Nicole’s eyes, which were initially focused on the laptop, lowered when she heard Ariel Morris’s sudden question, and she shook her head, "How could there be any contact between us? There’s no contact, and no need for contact either."
Ariel Morris’s gaze shifted to Nicole’s right shoulder, "Your right shoulder... "
Nicole’s body stiffened slightly.
She was wrapped in a bath towel, so Ariel could see the tattoo on her right shoulder.
Nicole shifted her body slightly, her slender fingers brushed her loose curls, as if unintentionally using her hair to cover the secret on her right shoulder, she smiled faintly, her voice light, "It’s from a long time ago. I always forget to have it removed. I’ll remember to take it off when I have time."
