My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 2025

As soon as Jordan said that, Aaron returned from his call and nodded at him politely.

Aaron wagged his phone at me and said with a worried look on his face, "Uncle Charles has just arrived with Mr. Moore and Madam Lawson."'

After a moment of silence, I was puzzled, "Why so suddenly? Wouldn't it be tiring for them to have rushed their journey? Why didn't you stop them?" I glanced over, waiting for Jordan's reaction. As expected, he took the bait.

Jordan interrupted with a smile, "Have your inlaws returned? What great news, we haven't seen each other in so many years. When are they arriving? Let me arrange dinner for both of our families."

"I don't think that'll be necessary." Aaron refused bluntly, "Hendrix and Wynn will be returning to Mesville with us, then we won't have to see each other anymore. I don't see the need for putting on a show for a reunion."

Although we had prepared for this, I couldn't help but gasp at Aaron's reply.

Aaron was always very up-front regardless of who he was talking to. When he refused so bluntly, things very quickly became tense and awkward. There were guests around who couldn't help but look at everything that was happening. They were probably worried about Jordan since he was the host of the event.

However, Jordan perfectly expressed his concerns confidently and calmly.

Jordan was embarrassed but smiled instead of getting angry and said, "No worries, I'm sorry for being abrupt. Aaron, you're a very outspoken and honest man, I should learn from your example. However, to show my respects, I'll have to host this meal anyhow. With that said, I'll visit when the elders have arrived and are settled down."

After that, he looked up to greet some guests that had just arrived, "My apologies, some of my friends have arrived. Please excuse me."

He then walked towards the guests that had arrived and joined in their conversation.

Aaron placed both of his hands in his pockets and stared at him. After a while, he said coldly, "Look at him, that's what we call a hypocrite. Who could've known that a person who dresses like that would be such a jerk. He would do anything to achieve his goal."

I didn't respond to that and instead changed the subject, "Has everything been arranged according

to plan?"

Aaron was stunned for a moment then turned towards me. A waiter happened to pass by, so he reached out for a glass of champagne, took sip, and leisurely replied, "Don't worry. He wouldn't be so relaxed if he had discovered our plan."

"Alright." I nodded. Although it was a perfect plan, I still felt uneasy because we were risking the safety of our elders.

They should be enjoying their lives,

especially in their old age but

instead, they've had to travel a very

longgourney just for our sake

couldn't bear to see it myself.

However, we were doing this to achieve a long lasting period of peace. We had no other choice but to take the risk.

Ten minutes later, Hendrix returned with Aurelia and asked, "Anything you're interested in?"

"What?" I was confused and thought that we were here just to look around, but now we actually had to spend money?

Hendrix ignored me and turned to look at a painting of a sunset that was beside him, "We'll take this one then."

Before I could say anything, he turned to look at me and said, "I like this, buy it for me, honey."

I wasn't used to the way he had just addressed

me. I felt goosebumps all over my back.

Having overheard us, Aaron

elbet

shivered. He said, "Hey, I'm getting goosebumps all over. Can't you be

more careful with your words? DeContent is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
