My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1635

The large living room suddenly fell into an eerie silence. I didn't pay attention to Hendrix until I could no longer see lan. Ian wanted to say something just now, but Hendrix had stopped lan. Was there anything that he couldn't let me know?

I said, "Hend..."

"Mom!"

I was about to ask what happened when I heard a light voice from the door. I turned around and realized that it was Freya who had sent Anne back.

It had been a long time since I last saw her, and I really missed her. I brought her to the back garden with Freya, and forgot about asking Hendrix.

Anne looked more like Monique. She was filled with infinite energy. After playing for more than an hour, Freya and I could only sit on the bench and watch her run back and forth.

"It's so nice seeing Anne like this. When will Oliver grow up to her age..." Freya sighed with great emotion, as if she was in a bad mood.

"What's wrong? Is there something on your mind?"

I asked.

"It's the same old problem." Freya rolled her eyes. "When three generations live together, we have to be careful, especially towards Zachary's mother, who has become more and more difficult to live with. There are three nannies at home, yet she forces me to get up early to make breakfast for Zachary. I haven't done these at all before! Besides, if I'd done all these, why do I need a nanny?"

Freya had the support of the Moore family. She did not have to worry even if she planned to just enjoy herself for the rest of her life. Furthermore, she had the insight to invest her money. Every month, she would be able to earn a lot, and Zachary's parents might not have even known that. They probably assumed that she was just a housewife, and pitied their son for working so hard outside. That was why they wanted Freya to be a good housewife and mother.

I didn't know how to respond, and tried to give her some ideas. "Zachary didn't speak up for you?"

"Him?" Freya had a strange expression on her face, and she seemed to dislike it. "I don't know. We haven't talked lately."

I asked, "How come? You two got together because of the same interests, didn't you?"

Freya shrugged. "He's more interested in academic studies than me recently. He stays in the study every day after he comes back from school, and talks about the economy and stock market and funds with a member from the academic seminar. To be honest, it's a little boring."

Without waiting for my opinion, she put her hands on the bench and sighed. "But I understand. He wants to go higher in his career. Ah, ambitious men are more attractive."

I laughed at her and pretended to cough. "You're thirsting over him so much, I can't even!"

Freya glared at me jokingly, and swiftly changed the subject. "I'll come over tomorrow anyway, so I won't leave tonight."

"Tomorrow?" I was confused and joked. "You just brought Anne here, and you want to take her back tomorrow? You see her as your daughter now?"

"What do you mean? She's my goddaughter since forever." Freya leisurely crossed her legs and placed her hands on her knees. Suddenly, she looked at my stomach and her expression became slightly serious. "The twins, it's such a piece of great news. Everyone will want to come and get a piece of luck from you."

I looked down and put my hand on my belly. I was confused by her gaze, but I didn't think much about it because I was thinking about lan planning to take Anne with him.

I didn't know what Freya meant until the next night, when Valerie and Pedro came to our place all dressed up. The news that I was pregnant had spread like wildfire, and they had wanted to visit me earlier. However, they were afraid that it would affect my health, and I was busy with the bar examination. It was not until that night that they got a chance.

Initially, I thought it was just a simple family gathering, but the people who showed up were strange. In addition to Valerie, there were, of course, Charles and Aaron. After that, several respectable guests came as well. I was most stunned by Ziglar's appearance.

It seemed that all the people I knew with high prestige had arrived.
