Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 15

Neither Shandie nor Cindy did anything. Likewise, Cindy no longer begged Henrick to shorten Shandie’s punishment. Cindy even took increasingly good care of Arielle, which Henrick approved.

That incident with the venomous snake was explicitly banned. No one was allowed to utter a single word about it. Hence, the manor’s inhabitants resumed their following days as if nothing happened.

Likewise, Henrick returned to his and Cindy’s bedroom after five days of sleeping in the study.

By the sixth day, Henrick headed out with a bounce in his step; even Cindy had a glowing and cheery expression. It wasn’t hard to guess what happened the night before.

Things became so amiable that Cindy offered an entire drumstick to Arielle during dinnertime.

At this, a delighted smile crept onto Arielle’s face. She responded in a sweet tone, “Thank you, Aunt Cindy.”

“Call me Mom from now on.” Cindy beamed back as she continued, “I’ll look after you as my own child. Just like Shannie. She’s not my biological daughter, but I’ve always cared for her like she is. So, don’t hesitate to ask me if you ever need anything.”

Arielle scoffed inwardly. Not your biological daughter? I don’t believe it one bit.

Shandie is only a couple of months younger than me, which means that Henrick had an affair with Cindy during my mother’s pregnancy.

Henrick obviously won’t allow this scandal to leak.

Cindy must be up to something. Why else would she suddenly suggest that I call her “Mom”?

Still, she’s got some nerve asking me to call her that.

I only have two mothers: my biological mom and my adoptive mother. No one else is worthy of that title.

Skeptical, Arielle looked at Henrick for help. “Dad. I-it’s too soon. I’m not used to calling her that…”
