Vista Has A Son

Though she obeyed Mia, Ariel took her own time in walking back to the mansion. However, the fate didn't seem to favour her because soon she saw Riza walking towards herself. 

"Darling, where did you go? I and Mia have been looking for you so long."

"I got lost."

She replied to Riza calmly. Those people to whom she was not that close, it was quite easy to lie. Perhaps because she didn't care what they thought about her.

Though it was another thing that Riiza got quite close to her in these two hours. The woman had simply started calling her Darling from Mrs. Miller. 

And Ariel actually preferred the former instead of latter. 

Riza, however, narrowed her eyes and looked at Ariel suspiciously. 

"Oh…what happened to the dress?"

Ariel bit her lips slightly before saying calmly

"I fell down."

"I see."

This time, Riza was quite sure that she was being lied to. She could easily see the lack of disinterest Ariel was showing whenever she showed her the dresses. 

It confused Riza. Usually those misses of high society families were always ready to change hundreds of dresses designed by her. 

Her perception was that usually girls like these things but Ariel seemed to change her perception. 

Was she doing anything wrong? For a moment, Riza started doubting her own talent. 

Did her dresses not look beautiful anymore?

With this thought, a new determination flashed across Riza's eyes.

"Darling, we must try more dresses. I need to go somewhere else too so we have very less time."

Ariel felt scared of the smile that was on Riza's lips because it was full of determination. She had never felt that scared of old lady's anger also. 

This…does she really need to bear this torture for another hour?

Ariel wanted to cry but had no tears.

Finally after an hour later, Ariel was released by Riza. As she looked at her comfortable clothes that had been thrown far away by Riza, she felt indignant. 

Why must she wear this dress which hugged her body so tightly and it only reached her knees. She never had the habit of staying in the air conditioner while Miller mansion had it installed almost everywhere. 

Although heat of Torris was high, she couldn't bear the cold temperature of air conditioner so her clothes that covered her from head to toe were usually of great help. 

But now…Ariel couldn't help but shiver. 

"It's so cold."

She whispered but Riza who heard her blinked and then shook her head. 

"I had never found such a hard to please lady. Darling, you really impressed me. Don't you like how beautiful you are looking in this dress?"

Ariel looked at Riza. 

She actually didn't care but her words might hurt poor Riza's heart so she preferred to stay silent. 

Riza sighed on not getting any expected reply. 

"I have taken your measurement and also noticed what actually suits you. I will soon come back with newly designed dresses."

"Take your time."

Ariel said very positively as they started walking out of the room they were in. 

Once reaching the living room, she was surprised to see the scene in front of her eyes. 

Vista was standing teary eyed as she hugged that boy with whom she had collided while running away from Riza. 

"Ohh…Adrian is also here."

Ariel looked at Riza who said these words so she asked the question that had been with her for so long. 

"You know him?"

However, Riza looked at Ariel as if she had grown two heads. 

"You don't?"

Riza blinked when Ariel shook her head. But a moment later, she remembered the video of that press conference. 

So it was true!

Her father forced her to marry Leon. Perhaps no one told her anything about Leon and his family. Riza's heart was full of pity for Ariel. 

She sighed as she replied 

"Darling, he is Vista's son." 

The way she addressed Vista, Ariel could sense that both were quite close to each other. So she merely nodded her head. 

Vista has a son too! Now she remembered that someone had taken this Adrian's name in press conference too.

The question asked by the reporter that day also made sense.

So this Adrian…he was a threat to her short term husband.

Ariel observed Adrian silently. Vista was hugging him but his hands didn't hug his mother back which was quite weird. 

"Your son has grown to be quite handsome, Vista. Are you shedding tears thinking that he might soon be taken away by some lady?"

Interrupting this emotional reunion, Riza walked towards the duo. 

Vista parted away from Adrian and wiped her tears as she chuckled slightly at Riza's words. 

"It's good to see you here Riza."

"Same here."

Both the ladies hugged each other and then Riza looked at Adrian who greeted her nicely. 

After that, she talked to Vista for some time. 

"Your daughter-in-law tore a dress designed by me by mistake. But since I like her a lot I will have it on me."

Vista raised her eyebrows and looked towards Ariel who looked at her back indifferently. 

Vista shook her head and said to Riza

"No. We will pay for it. Just let Mia know the cost. She will send the proper compensation to you."

Riza smiled beautifully at these words and Ariel shook her head. 

Riza left after some time. 

And Vista's attention was back to her son. 

"Adrian, why didn't you tell me that you are returning? I would have prepared something for your welcome."

Adrian laughed coldly in response and said 

"Mom when you don't tell me anything how can you expect from me to do the same?"

Vista blinked in confusion before she realized what Adrian meant to say. 

Before saying another word, she looked towards Mia who understood her assignment and walked towards Ariel.

"Miss Ariel, we should leave."

Ariel rolled her eyes. If they want her to leave, they could say it directly.

Without looking back, she walked towards her room. 

She needed a lot of rest after the torture she has gone through.
