Chương 793: Be My Successor

"Hi mom," Arianna met her mother downstairs before the woman had the chance to come to check up on her in her room. Natalie had keen eyes and she did not doubt that the woman would be able to sense that something happened there. She couldn't risk it. 

"You are not asleep yet, it's late." She told her. 

"Oh that, I wasn't able to sleep, and then I found out that you are back." Arianna lied to her best. 

"Why? What's wrong? Why aren't you able to sleep? What are you thinking about?" Natalie said, taking off her coat and folded it before placing it neatly on the couch. She wasn't ready to retreat for the night yet.

"I don't know," Arianna shrugged, "I just couldn't sleep." 

"I see," Natalie said, heading to the kitchen while Arianna followed her like a lost puppy.
