My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1649

"Are you alright?" Emma asked Aaron about his injuries with concern.

I looked at Hendrix, who was driving away in a daze, feeling a little unhappy. Did he leave just like that, without even seeing Anne and I?

Just now, from my standing spot, I could see Hendrix extremely clearly, and his cold and indifferent face was engraved in my mind. I couldn't pretend I saw nothing. As for Aaron and the Reid family, Hendrix should've regarded them as a family, like me. That expression of his really scared me.

The morning breeze was a little chilly, hence I wrapped my arms around myself to keep warm. I turned to look at Aaron, as he could no longer pretend to know nothing. Aaron led me to Charles's room. The atmosphere was so tense that it made me feel uneasy.

After asking me to sit down for a while, Charles spoke again, "Arianna, don't go back to the Roberts Mansion in the future. The Reid family will take care of you and your child."

It seemed that Aaron also had not told the truth to Emma. They did intend to let me live here forever, not just for a period of time. I still could not comprehend and asked, "Why?" Charles frowned deeply and looked down, as if he was struggling to say something.

I couldn't wait any longer, so I directed the question at Aaron, who had been silent. "Tell me."

As an elder, Charles had a lot of things to worry about. But Aaron and I had experienced a lot, we were both family and friends at the same time. There was nothing to be afraid of.

Upon hearing this, Aaron recovered from his trance. He slowly raised his head and stared at me with his icy eyes. We looked at each other for more than ten seconds before he broke the silence. "You know about the accident at the Roberts Group. If he continues to act alone, you and Anne will be involved sooner or later. I am your brother, and I will not watch you take risks with him."

As I expected, Aaron, a man who usually made threats, had an extraordinary sense for danger. I exhaled and acted calm. "I already know about it. I'm Hendrix's wife, so it's natural for me to stand by him. You know me well, so why do you think that I will go separate ways when disaster comes?"

Although I knew they were doing this for my own good, I still felt a little offended. I looked at Aaron and changed the topic. "Who is the higher official messing around with Hendrix at the back?"

If even Charles was afraid, perhaps I should've really advised Hendrix to reconsider his revenge.

Upon hearing what I said, Aaron stood up suddenly, looked at me condescendingly and said, "Has he ever considered things for your sake? Why are you taking risks for him? Who does he think you are? Or do you think Hendrix, who is pretty intelligent, doesn't know what kind of terrible opponents he is facing?"

I was stunned. I didn't know why Aaron would be so angry. According to his personality, he should've worked with Hendrix. Was it because of fear?

Aaron was so angry that he finally slammed the door and left, leaving only a scant few words. "Stay here. I can't let you go back to that guy."

Bang! The loud sound of the door closing made my heart tremble.

As soon as Aaron left, only Charles and I were in the room. He sighed and explained for Aaron. "You know Aaron's temper better than I do. He's worried about you. So don't blame him."

I shook my head and reluctantly parted my lips.

"No, I won't."

This was not enough to make me fall out with Aaron.

Charles nodded slightly and finally got to the point. "Arianna, your grandmother was originally an old friend of Hendrix's grandfather. Do you know this?"
