My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1507

Chloe glared at me. "Arianna, what do you want ?"

I fixed my gaze on her. "Didn't you say you were doing business? Don't you want my business?"

"You are a woman. If you want to humiliate me, you don't have to do that. What you're doing now is just a waste of your time. If you hate me because of your child, I'm very sorry and I've also been punished. You don't have to humiliate me anymore," Her tone was calm and there was no sign of her giving up.

I sighed helplessly. "Come on, just show me where you live. It shouldn't be far, right? Since you know that you are at fault for what you did to Anne, you can't refuse any of my requests, can you?" She glowered at me. After a long pause, she gave up and said, "Come with me!"

She took Shirley and I to an alley. After a while, I stopped and asked, "Don't you think you should help me?" Shirley was intoxicated. It was too hard for me to carry her on my own.

Chloe gave me a look, pursed her lips, and said lightly, "I can't help you. After several chemotherapy sessions, I struggle to even walk by myself. I can't help you carry her. Believe it or not, it's the truth." I was stupefied. Then, I pursed my lips, shrugged my shoulders, and responded lightly, "Okay, then, lead the way!"

I couldn't possibly force her to carry Shirley with me, could I?

When we finally arrived at her place, I looked around and sighed. "You know, you can always go back to Ucrebury. Dr. Hammer will find a way to cure you. You will only get worse if you continue staying at a place like this."

She poured me a glass of water with a cold expression on her face. "In the end, I will still die. It's better to die at a place where I am willing to stay in. I've been so determined my whole life. I wanted to be successful, but I failed. Thus, I pray that I can be born into this city in my next life, so that I can be closer to the things I want."

Chloe was the only person I could never understand. She came from a privileged background, but her outlook on life was inexplicable. She was eager to marry rich, so she targeted Hendrix first. But after realizing that Hendrix was a dead end, she shifted her target to Josiah. Her goal was crystal clear. She wanted to get on good terms with a man. But what made her want to marry these men? Money?

But the Hammer family was not short of money!

Power?

Hendrix and Josiah themselves had no power.

Love?

That was even more impossible. If it was for love, she would not be able to move on so quickly. She was unfathomable.

"She and I need to stay here tonight," I declared and continued, "I'll pay you, provided that you stay with us tonight. Also, don't do that kind of business anymore. You clearly know what kind of people you have to interact with. You are not in the pink of health. What if you contracted some other diseases? Do you want to die early?

п

She narrowed her eyes at me. "Why do you care?"

"No, I don't. I don't have any reason to care about someone who doesn't matter to me. I just wanted to give you a reminder," I denied.

She sat on her small bed and let out a carefree laugh. "How ironic. I didn't think that the first person who would care about me would be you, Arianna. Life is ironic!"
