Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 184

His hand instinctively wrapped around her to prevent her from falling, but as a result, both of them tumbled down onto the couch.

"Uhm…"

Ariana accidentally touched Lambert's wound, causing him to let out a stifled moan.

"What's wrong with you?"

She was not a fool. There had to be something wrong for Lambert to react like this.

He somewhat helplessly extended his injured hand to her for examination.

Ariana glanced at the wound on his fist, remembered the old injury on his hand, and immediately realized the situation.

"Could it be… your wound has reopened?"

As she was speaking, she unbuttoned his clothes, but seeing Lambert's fair and attractive abs, she immediately halted her actions.

Lambert was half-reclining on the couch, his long legs sprawled on the floor. Half-dressed as he was, the sight of him was quite captivating.

He watched Ariana who seemed to freeze with curiosity, "What happened? Take a look."

Ariana released his clothes, quickly stood up, and moved away, "Never mind, I'll get a doctor for you!"

Just as she was about to go and seek help, Lambert reached out and grabbed her hand.

Lambert pulled her gently and forced her to sit on his leg, holding her soft body in his arms. In an utterly wicked tone, he said, "No hurry, you should check the injury first, then consider if you want to call the doctor. Otherwise, if another woman looks, I might feel upset!"

Ariana wanted to retort him originally, but hearing what he said, especially how he sounded like a chaste little wife, she almost burst into laughter.

"What are you upset about? What's there for a man to show off!"

"Do you really think there's nothing attractive about us?" Lambert raised an eyebrow, reaching out to guide her hand over his abs.

Feeling the solid and extraordinarily tactile muscles underneath her fingertips, Ariana fell silent.

...

The next day, Griffin woke up and unexpectedly found himself in the Stone Haven Hotel.

He vaguely recalled that the waiter had arranged for him to reach Ariana.

With a slight stirring in his heart, he glanced around, saw no sign of Ariana, and was about to call her when a sudden sound of a door opening caught his attention.

Sighing in relief, the unfamiliar woman who entered upon seeing Griffin awake said, "You're finally awake, I was worrying you might sleep in."

Griffin paused, recalling his drunken state from the night before, and stared at her guardedly, asking, "Who are you?"

Seeing his expression, the woman responded with a chuckle, "Don't worry, nothing happened between us. I'm Robin Watt, Assistant of Vice President Stone. You passed out in the bar and I happened to be there. Since we're partners, I informed the Vice President and he asked me to bring you here to rest."

"Vice President Stone?"

Griffin was puzzled. He remembered Lambert's assistant was a very capable-looking young man, not a woman.

Seeing his misunderstanding, Robin chuckled and explained, "I'm referring to Vice President Finley."

"Finley..."

Griffin was instantly disappointed; he didn't expect Ariana to ignore him completely.
