My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1498

I smiled faintly, looked at her, and said, "You don't have to thank me. The Reid family has done me a favor. Although I am angry with Aaron, he is still my brother after all. Over these years, he has been with me through thick and thin, so I won't let him get taken advantage of by Eunice. He shouldn't settle down with someone like her."

She nodded and said with a hint of relief on her face, "If he finally meets the right person, I sincerely wish him a lifetime of happiness. Carney is his child. This is the truth. If he can find a suitable woman to get married to in the future, I hope that they can live happily."

Hendrix drove the car over. I said goodbye to Yana and got into the car. After being busy for a day, I was so tired that I fell asleep on the ride home.

When I woke up, I was already in the villa. I opened my eyes dazedly and saw Hendrix packing his luggage. Suddenly, I remembered that we were supposed to head to Asherton the next day.

Lying on the bed, I squinted at him and said, "There are clothes and daily necessities over there. You just have to bring some important documents."

He turned around and realized that I was awake. He looked at me and asked with a smile, "Did I wake you up?"

I shook my head and glanced up at the clock on the wall. It was already early in the morning. I could not help but ask, "What time is the flight tomorrow?" "Nine o'clock, why? What's wrong?" Hendrix asked.

"Then, we're not in a hurry. By the way, my ID card might be expiring soon. Help me find my account book. When we finish dealing with the matters in Asherton, we need to go to Ucrebury to get my identity card re-issued," I said. When I married Hendrix, I changed my residential address to Ucrebury, so I needed to go to Ucrebury to re-issue my identity card. Other than that, I wanted to go to visit Monique, Grandfather, and Grandmother. It had been a while since I last saw them.

He nodded but hesitated for a second. He looked at me and asked, "Where did you keep your account book?"

I couldn't remember. I looked at him and replied, "Just look around. It should be in the cabinet. Wait, I think it's in the khaki handbag. I used it when I was issuing some checks to Sonia's mother. I don't think I remembered to take it out after, so it should still be in the bag. Check there. It's been too long, so I'm not that sure."

He got up, went into the walk-in closet, rummaged through the bag and took it out. He asked doubtfully, "Since when did you keep a diary?"

I shook my head and replied, "No. I'm too lazy to do so. Why would I have a diary?"

He pursed his lips and took out a small diary from the bag. He looked at me and asked, "Isn't this yours?"

The notebook looked familiar. For a moment, I couldn't recall who it belonged to. However, a few seconds later, it was as if a lightbulb switched on inside my head. "That's Sonia's. Rita gave it to me when she was undergoing treatment in the hospital. She said it was her mom's diary. She gave it to me."

"Sonia's diary?" Hendrix echoed.

I nodded. Seeing him turning the pages, I leaned over to take a look as well. It was just a diary written by someone who had passed away. There seemed to be nothing interesting in there to read about at all. After all, it was all in the past and there was no point dwelling on it.

"I don't think I should read it. After all, the person who wrote it has passed away. I will give this diary back to Sonia's mother some other day. After all, it is her daughter's possession. I think she'd like to have it back as a memory of her daughter!" I said.

Hendrix suddenly closed the diary, frowned slightly, and said, "I never understood how Kaleb could take the fall for the bad things Sebastian did, even though he had already died in Oakland. Now it all makes sense! No wonder Sebastian still provided the evidence to you, even though he knew that you were investigating him. It seems that he had come prepared!"

I was a little confused about what he was saying. I took the diary and began to read the words on the pages.

After reading the contents of the diary, I was stunned for a long time. I never thought seriously about how Kaleb could still take the fall, although he was a dead man. It turned out that he had a twin!
