Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 332

332 /658

When Ariana arrived, she found that Griffin had already arrived.

Since Ariana had just gotten pregnant, her figure hadn't changed much. She was wearing not-so-high heels, slowly moving in the direction of Griffin.

As Griffin saw Ariana, his whole being lit up with a flash of pleasant surprise.

He then stood up and came over, sincerely saying to Ariana, "Ariana, thank you for coming."

Ariana didn't say anything, she just gave a light smile.

Part of the reason why she agreed to meet today was indeed because she was getting a bit anxious, but more so because she had already promised him last time. Since she had agreed last time, it showed that she wasn’t opposed to the meeting this time. It was just that something came up suddenly, and the meeting was cancelled last time.

Ariana had complicated feelings for Griffin.

Griffin was her senior, who had provided a lot of help to her in the past. However, what she never expected was, one day that Griffin would stand with others against her.

Whether intentional or not, this instantly wiped out all her friendships with Griffin.

Griffin looked at Ariana, then suddenly smiled and said, "Ariana, thank you for agreeing to come."

Ariana looked up, then chuckled lightly: "Didn’t you already say this just now? Additionally, what is there to thank for a mere meet-up?" After finishing, she revealed a subtle smile. However, this smile was quite aloof, carrying a barrier that never existed between them initially.

Griffin could feel it, so the smile on his face gradually froze.

After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Ariana, have you still not forgiven me?"

Ariana shook her head: "You're overthinking." In fact, she had long forgiven Griffin. Or to put it better, she never blamed Griffin, after all, he didn't intentionally cause those issues. She just wouldn’t regard Griffin as the gentle senior who helped her a lot anymore.

Griffin looked at Ariana, and found her demeanor impeccably polite as always.

To others, their relationship seemed to be in good shape, and they seemed to enjoy each other's company. But he alone could feel the lack of emotion in Ariana's eyes.

What predominated was courtesy...

Even though he had known this before, and had seen this kind of courteous but distant look in her eyes, Griffin's heart still hurt as if it had been pricked with a needle.

Never had there been a moment... a moment when he regretted so much.

Regretting his original collaboration with Beverly.

He truly never thought of hurting Ariana, whom he had always held great affection for in his heart. But everything was too late now.

Griffin closed his eyes deeply, then forcefully suppressed all his emotions, trying to act as if nothing had happened. As hard as it was for him.

They remained silent for a very long time.

Until Ariana was somewhat bewildered, not understanding why Griffin had sought her out, Griffin finally spoke. He said, "Ariana, you have to be more careful around Beverly in the future. Beverly is a malicious thinker, especially towards you. So you must be careful of her."

Ariana nodded. "I understand."

Griffin paused and let out a bitter laugh before adding, "And Vincent."
