My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1599

Freya always did whatever came up to her mind immediately. She didn't care whether Anne liked it or not and ordered Estella, "Personal assistant, right? Hendrix gives you such a high salary, so you should do your work well. Go and make two cups of hot milk for me and Arianna, and buy some latest reference materials for the bar exam. Come back within an hour. We have other arrangements for you." Hendrix's villa was located in the outskirts of the city. Although it was not too far from the city center, it would take nearly forty minutes to get back and forth by car. Including the time needed for Estella to go shopping for the reference materials, one hour seemed not to be enough.

Estella's face froze for a moment, but she did not dare to lose her temper in front of the fierce-looking, demanding Freya. She nodded obediently and said, "Alright, I'll head off right away." After that, Estella quickly walked out.

Seeing that she was in such a hurry, I felt a little bad, so I reminded her, "Get a taxi. Remember to keep the receipt and claim your money from the company later."

Estella halted at the same spot and turned around to nod at me gratefully, saying, "Thank you, Mrs. Roberts."

Then, she left without looking back.

Freya rolled her eyes impatiently and scoffed at my behavior for being kind to everyone.

I lifted my eyebrows and pretended not to see anything.

After settling Anne down, I went to the study with Freya. I had bought a lot of reference materials. Although we decided to make a change in our plan, I could still find some useful ones.

Freya sat in a chair, watching me sorting out the reference materials as she enjoyed her hot milk. She then brought up the same conversation again.

"I really find it strange. Look at her, she was about to take charge of this house and your daughter. How can you still be so calm?" Freya asked with a little anger.

Her words annoyed me a little, so I refuted, "It's not as serious as you said. Estella was just making Anne happy. How much can a child remember? She might probably forget about Estella after a night's sleep.

"Looks like you're really dumb," Freya said with a snort. She continued in a more disdainful manner and said, "What's her name again, Estella Zanes? Didn't you see her expression when she talked to us? And her expression when she was with Anne? A person like her who can put up different faces with different people sure is annoying. I think we shouldn't let her go around the house freely next time. Just find a random room and keep her there."

"Don't be like that. She's Hendrix's assistant after all." I felt a little helpless. Freya had always had that sort of temper. If she disliked anyone, she would make sure to get rid of them.

Hendrix was not a fool. If Estella really had problems and wanted to hurt me, he wouldn't have appointed her as my personal assistant.

Besides, with Hendrix's charm, there'd be countless women like Estella who secretly had a crush on him in the future. If I really wanted to deal with each and every one of them, I'd probably be known as a petty woman, and also I'd be so sick of it as well.

Freya was greatly disappointed in my words and looked at me incredulously, lecturing, "Hendrix's who? Who did you say she is again? Only you, Arianna Reid, is Hendrix Roberts' lawfully wedded wife. In other words, Hendrix only belongs to you. He married you because he wanted to give you the right to take care of the little batches around him. What more do you have to worry about? Let me remind you, have you forgotten about the lessons learned from Rowane?"

I paused while holding a book in my hand. I didn't know what to say for a while.

How could Estella be compared to Rowane? Hendrix wasn't even affected by Rowane, who was both beautiful and talented. With just Estella's ability, there was no need to make such a fuss.

I opened my mouth and was about to retort when Minnie suddenly knocked on the door.

"Mrs. Roberts, a guest wants to meet you," Minnie informed.
