My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 2038

What a schemer.

What exactly did Jordan want?

There was no time for this. They were now both opponents to us. Nathan and his wife wouldn't be any easier to deal with than Jordan.

Hendrix was extremely calm. He looked straight ahead and held my hand in his. He narrowed his eyes and said, "It doesn't matter who we deal with first. Let's thank Jordan for deciding for me."

No one probably would have expected that a reunion six years later would be like this.

When we arrived at the Marshall villa, we saw the elders sitting around the sofa with huge smiles on their faces.

Although she had seen me over a video call once before, Valerie was quite moved when she saw me. She wanted to walk over, but Pedro held her back.

Hendrix brought me over and greeted them politely, "Father, Mother, Uncle."

"Father and Mother" were directed at Valerie and Pedro. Hendrix completely ignored Nathan and

Suanne who were sitting beside them.

I imagined that things would get ugly, but unexpectedly, Nathan didn't mind it. Instead, he was in a good mood and asked us to sit down. "It's good to have you back. We'll have dinner soon. Please sit for a while."

"Where are the kids? Didn't you bring them along?" Seeing that Aurelia and Wynn weren't around, Suanne straightened herself up and glanced at the entrance.

I was trying to come up with an excuse but Hendrix spoke first. "There's no need to bring the kids into our affairs."NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

He got straight to the point.

That's right. The last time Hendrix brought me back, his relationship with Nathan was already strained as it is. During this period of time, they lived their own lives, not bothering the other. Nathan was shaken by Hendrix's researchers.

The harmonious atmosphere before our arrival was merely an act. After hearing Hendrix say that, things turned tense.

We were their guests. Naturally, Nathan, who was the host, would feel embarrassed.

However, he maintained his

composure, instead of getting angry,

he said with a smile, "Your inlaws have returned on short notice and you have so many children. I figured there wouldn't be enough space. I thought they could just make do at my place tonight."

"There's no need forthat," Hendrix rejected, "I have a suite. They'll stay there."

The corners of Nathan's mouth twitched as he bowed his head slightly. It seemed like he wasn't taking Hendrix seriously.

After a while, he said

condescendingly, "Young people are

so inconsiderate. You're all grown up now. Do you not know how to care

for your elders? Do you want the en

to go through that after flying hours from Mesville? Besides, we haven't seen each other for such a long time. We will keep in touch with each other in the future. It's inconvenient for them to live so far away. That's all I'll be saying. They're staying here. You can rest assured that I will take good care of them."

"What if I say no?" Hendrix radiated a very dangerous aura.

"That's up to you, of course." Nathan spread his arms out and said calmly, "I have no objections if you manage to take them out. But I have to remind you that they are old. If something happens, don't blame me for not warning you!"

I despised this hypocrite. "You can't keep them here by force!"

Zuckerburg was not a place to behave recklessly.

Nathan gave me a cold stare. "Arianna, you are Hendrix's wife. You are obliged to call me father. Did the Reid family and Moore families forget to teach you basic manners? Do you think you can treat us this way just because you've been

married into this family for six years?"
