My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1008

"You..." Her face suddenly changed, and she was looking at me with eyes full of rage. She said angrily, "So what? If he could marry an orphan like you, someone without parents, why couldn't he accept me?"

I smiled nonchalantly, "There is still one more important factor, which is love. Well, yes, you were right that when a person has reached a certain age, love is not necessarily important. But what you're referring to are ordinary people, people who do not have the same social and financial status as Hendrix. Do you think he will need to worry about his fortune in the future, in order to keep his family alive? Nope, he doesn't. He is the type of man that once he has reached a certain age, will be in need of love and emotional support. So, love, to him is extremely important."

Her face darkened even more as she sneered, "Arianna, I thought you did not want to continue your relationship with him any longer? Since that's the case, why are you still arguing with me? You can just give up now to me. You've been arguing so much, does this mean you still can't let him go? You're trying to play hard to get, to get him to love you more, aren't you?"

I said carelessly, "You think too much. If you like him, I actually don't care if you pursue him. I am here saying this because when you can't win him over, you'll put the blame on me. By the way, about the offer that you just made, 50 thousand dollars sounds good. After all, I have been short on money recently."

I turned around, ready to leave the base, not expecting to see Hendrix at the door with a dark face.

He looked at me coldly and said in a low voice, "Am I only worth 50 thousand dollars?"

Flustered, my heart skipped a beat. He heard what I had just said?

I forced a smile. "She's the one that offered me such a small amount."

"Arianna, what nonsense are you spouting?" Rowane, who followed behind, spoke. Seeing Hendrix's presence, she put on a pitiful face. "Obviously, you were the one who said that you didn't love Mr. Roberts. You hated him for pestering you, I didn't say anything at all."

After a pause, she looked at Hendrix and said, "Mr. Roberts, can you believe her words? If she really wants money, she could just ask it from you directly. This has nothing to do with me."

Unfortunately, what she said made sense.

Hendrix's deep gaze never left me.

I swallowed, then simply shrugged my shoulders and said, "Well, I still have to work. You two enjoy yourselves!"

Hendrix frowned and pulled me back. He looked at Rowane and said, "Could you leave first?"

"Mr. Roberts..." Rowane still wanted to say something but shut her mouth at his fierce look.

After leaving, Hendrix and I looked at each other, eye to eye. He frowned and asked, "Was this necessary?"

I shook my head, a little confused, and asked, "Was what necessary?"

He pursed his lips, his eyes were somewhat disappointed. "Did you think that you could find just anyone to take me away?"

I thought for a moment and said seriously, "Then I will be more careful in the future, and find someone that you are more compatible with."

"Arianna!" He was a little angry. "What do you take me for?"

I was a little annoyed then. I pushed his hand aside and said, "Hendrix, how many times do I need to say this? A divorce certificate is all that lies between us! Whoever you are with has nothing to do with me at all. So, there's no need for me to put in so much time and effort to handle these kinds of shenanigans. I also don't intend to find anyone to push you towards as it does not concern me anymore."

Looking at his dark face, I quickly continued, "It doesn't matter if you want to be with Rowane or any other woman, for that matter, because it has nothing to do with me. If you are so hung up on that divorce certificate, we could just go over to Ucrebury and retrieve it. Like what you said, since I can't pass my own hurdles, you'd be more than willing to let me go and let me gain my own freedom. There won't be anything anymore between you and me, so I beg you, next time, please just seize the opportunity when you can."
