My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1229

He pulled me into an embrace and said softly, "What's there to be unhappy about? Tell me."

I didn't intend to hide the matter about Sonia's mother from him. I looked at him and said, "I just transferred 200,000 dollars for Sonia's daughter to treat her illness. Will you scold me for being dumb?" A smile tugged at his lips. "Why would I scold you? I couldn't even praise you enough. I know that my wife is kind and soft-hearted. Problems that can be solved with money are not a problem. You buying peace of mind with 200,000 dollars is not bad!"

I leaned into his chest; my hands wrapped around his waist. "Thank you, Hendrix!" Sometimes, I felt extremely lucky. It was truly a great blessing to be able to meet Hendrix in my life.

I wasn't an excellent person. It could be luck, or fate, that made him fall in love with me. I was the lucky one either way.

Thinking of what happened in the casino, I couldn't help but ask, "Wasn't Kaleb in Asherton? Why is he in Oakland? That night in the casino, was he going to sign a contract with you?"

He looked at me and smiled. "When did my wife become so smart?"

I looked at him, waiting for his answer.

"Master Hayes had given me the open zone and the import-export trade area of Oakland. Kaleb couldn't live in Myanway any longer. The country is too strict, and he can't do anything about it, so he has to come to Oakland to look for a way out. Master Hayes and his father were comrades. Master Hayes wanted to help his old friend out, so he asked me to deliver it to him. However, in the end, Master Hayes chose me."

That was why Tobias couldn't make up his mind. At that time, he wasn't really on Hendrix's side. Instead, he was observing Hendrix. If I hadn't revealed my father's identity, Tobias probably wouldn't have made up his mind to help Hendrix.

At that time, the contract hadn't been signed yet. Whoever Master Hayes would choose was up to what Tobias would tell him. In the end, Master Hayes chose Hendrix, mainly because Tobias knew that after Master Hayes passed away, the only person who could help him was his ally.

Just Hendrix alone could make Tobias hesitate, but with the Moore Family, a decision could be made. Although my father was no longer involved in many things, he still held much power and status in society. Hendrix looked at me with a calm expression. "Are you mad at me for using your father as a bargaining chip?"

I shook my head and gave him a small smile. "I'll be very happy if my resources can be used, or even be helpful to you. At least it makes me feel that I'm worthy of such an excellent husband."

He smiled and kissed me on the cheek. "Silly. You are outstanding and special. No woman can compare with you. You deserve every bit of my love!"

Although they were all love words, every word he said was very pleasing to the ear. I was overwhelmed with joy and love.

Don't be stingy with your sweet words, because everything that can make each other happy is worthwhile, no matter what the final result is.

Oakland was not chilly. However, probably due to the large population, even on a sunny day, the atmosphere was foggy.

Hendrix had already left earlier. As Tobias had taken over the Hayes Family, and Hendrix had come to an agreement with him, he naturally needed Hendrix's help in many matters.

I lay in bed with nothing to do. After lying around for a while, I went out. Since I was there, I may as well take in the Oakland scene and culture.
