My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1496

I shrugged and said, "He agreed to go. Besides, he invited Miss Stone to come here today himself. He knows what he is doing. I don't think we have to worry about him."

Just as we were speaking, Aaron and Emma came in from outside. Emma had changed into a modest outfit and had on nicer makeup, which made her appear more approachable. Seeing them, Yana and I immediately stood up. We smiled faintly and said, "Welcome, Miss Stone!"

I had already witnessed Emma's outspokenness in the restaurant, so I greeted her calmly. Emma glanced at Yana and asked, "Are you Yana?"

What a bold question!

Yana was startled, but she simply smiled and answered, "Yes, hello. I am Yana."

Aaron would only become quiet when he was faced with Yana. He had an air of indifference about him, and there was a pained expression in his eyes.

It seemed that he was determined about going ahead with the marriage.

Since everyone was here, Uncle Charles ordered the staff to serve the dishes and prepare for dinner. Ethan came down to join us with Carney in his arms. When he saw Emma, he greeted her with a small smile.

After everyone sat down, Uncle Charles invited us to dig in. Emma kept glancing at Yana and Carney from time to time. As she wasn't seated far from me, I could see her looking at Aaron after a while and saying, "You lost such a beautiful wife and lovely child, didn't you?"

Aaron paused for a while and said in an indifferent tone, "Well, you can put it that way." He really did not intend to hide anything from her at all.

I thought she would be bothered by this, but Emma just shrugged. Then, she lowered her head and said lightly, "It's not surprising that things ended this way for you. You abandoned your family and hooked up with other girls. I'm not surprised that your wife ran away. You deserved it!"

I was speechless watching this exchange.

Based on Aaron's temper, I thought her words would make him furious, but he merely shrugged without any emotion and said with a cold expression, "Well, I guess this counts as a complaint..." The way these two got along with each other was really... unconventional.

After dinner, we chatted for a while. After singing a birthday song for Carney and letting him have his wish, all of us sat and talked together.

When we heard the noise outside, Carney had almost fallen asleep. We all decided to head home. Uncle Charles then sent the servant to go out and see what was going on.

The nanny came back and looked at Aaron. After hesitating for a second, she said, "Mr. Reid, there's someone here for you."

Aaron was surprised and asked, "Who is it?"

The nanny was a little embarrassed and answered, "It's Miss Hathaway who visited with you last time."

Aaron was startled for a moment and then said in a cold voice, "Isn't there a security guard? Tell them that I don't know her. Let them get rid of her. Don't let her ruin the festivities." The nanny froze for a second, but still did as he ordered.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yana and Ethan got up to leave. Hendrix and I were about to leave as well. Uncle Charles looked at Aaron and wanted him to send Emma back. At the door of the courtyard, the guards were blocking Eunice when we came out. She was in a hospital gown and looked so thin, it made her look pitiful.

She was screaming about Aaron's cruelty while crying at the same time. From what she was saying, it seemed that Aaron was really a b*stard.

As I had a good idea of Emma's personality now, I didn't care much about what she thought about Eunice's sudden appearance.

However, if Eunice kept stirring up trouble here, it wouldn't look good for Uncle Charles.

I glanced at Aaron and said, "You can't let her keep making noise here. Uncle Charles won't be able to have a good rest later. Get rid of her!"

Aaron was annoyed by her appearance as well. Casting a disdainful look at the woman who was blocked by the security guards, he pursed his lips and then walked towards her in anger.
