My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) -
Chapter 1557
I laughed at his words. With Hendrix still holding onto me, we found a seat and sat down together.
It felt nice to be in an energetic place like this.
Sawyer's wedding went smoothly without any unforeseen situations. At the wedding, I didn't see lan at all. I tried to give him a phone call, but I couldn't get through at all. I attempted to contact him in every way However, it seemed that everything was in vain.
At the wedding, Sawyer held onto his bride and told her, "Meeting you was the best thing to ever happen to me. Thank you for making me feel at home!" Then, there were no more words from him.
I thought that in the end, people would seek an ordinary life. When we were still young, we used to think that we would all eventually find our true love. However, we seemed to neglect the fact that sometimes love only existed one-sidedly.
Many years later, when I was on a business trip to Mesville, I bumped into lan. He gave me a faint smile and greeted me calmly, "Long time no see!" That was the only thing he said to me.
Slowly, we were growing older, and our lives were turning ordinary as well. In the end, Aaron married Emma. Even though he claimed that he didn't love her, it was good for him to have her company in his life. Emma probably knew that she was not the person he loved. She said that she was lucky to have Aaron, who tried to compensate for his foolishness towards Yana in the past by treating Emma well and protecting her at all costs. However, the unfortunate thing was, she had not fallen in love with him yet. She did not deserve his earnest compensation.
However, I knew that this was the best outcome. At least Aaron didn't have to go through life all alone anymore.
On Christmas Eve, Hendrix said that we would be attending Austin's wedding together. Although I didn't expect Austin to get married, it was still a good outcome. No matter what kind of person Austin chose to spend the rest of his life with, he was already an adult and could make choices on his own now.
On Christmas Day, we received some devastating news from the drug rehabilitation center. Andrea had committed suicide by overdosing. Upon receiving the news, Hendrix was silent for a long while. He then said lightly, "Give her a good burial."
He did not say anything after that.
After so many years of conflict, when I suddenly heard about her death, I was a little astounded. However, that was the only emotion I had.
Everyone had their own fate. Perhaps Andrea had chosen the wrong path from the very beginning.
As the New Year was around the corner, Hendrix and his aunt both decided to return to Ucrebury to celebrate New Year. After finishing his work at the end of the year, Hendrix took me to the Moore Villa to pick up Anne. After a few months of recuperation, Anne's body had recovered greatly.
However, she was a little quiet now, ever since she experienced that serious illness. When she found out that we were going back to Ucrebury, she looked at me and asked expectantly, "Mom, shall we go to the cemetery to visit Grandma and Aunt Monique?"
I was stunned for a moment and then nodded. It turned out that the child had remembered Monique in her heart. That was great.
Knowing that we were going back to Ucrebury, Yana gave me a phone call to bid farewell. I was even happier than her when she told me about her pregnancy.
After hanging up the phone, Hendrix held me in his arms and said, "Let's go to the hospital after the New Year. We will also have our own children in
the future."
I nodded and felt a sense of calmness in my heart. At that moment, it didn't matter to me whether I had children or not. From that day onwards, I would live a fulfilled life. I was full of hope and expectations.
New Year's came.
On New Year's Eve.
There was no snow in Ucrebury during winter, only the twinkling lights, the vibrant streets, and the crowded city.
It seemed like this was the first gathering for the Roberts in a long time. The black hair on Uncle Trent's head had turned white. He said, "Arianna, you and Hendrix have gone through so much to be together. The biggest blessing in your life is that after wandering for such a long time, you two still ended up with each other. It's truly a blessing to be able to watch the fireworks with the person you love."
I nodded. When I glanced at Hendrix's face, I suddenly realized that he seemed to have aged a lot. There were tiny wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
It had been indeed an arduous journey. Hopefully, the rest of our lives would be smooth sailing.
Anne was so excited when watching the fireworks that she could not help exclaiming. I laid in Hendrix's arms and looked up at him. "Hendrix, do you have any wishes?"
He looked down at me. His face was still as handsome as ever. Finally, he replied, "I wish that the both of us can be together for every moment of our remaining lives!"
I couldn't help but laugh. I looked at him and said, "Yes, for every moment of our remaining lives!"
The end!
