My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1672

What surprised me was that Aaron's acting had been so good. If Hendrix hadn't deliberately given me a hint, I would've taken it seriously.

"Nice, you're indeed my younger sister with such strong observation," Aaron said proudly, I wasn't sure whether he was complimenting himself or me.

But I still didn't understand. "Didn't Hendrix and you fall out with each other? When did you make up?"

Aaron pursed his lips, his eyes were bright and deep. "This is the mutual understanding between men. Sometimes you just need a look to know what you should do and should not do."

The tacit understanding between men was much deeper than that between Hendrix and I, who had loved each other for ten years. It was beyond my expectations.

However, I didn't reply. I turned my head and looked out of the window. Through the rear view mirror, I could see that the castle was far behind me under the night lights, which seemed more mysterious and distant, devouring the darkness of the night bit by bit.

I hoped that Hendrix would be fine.

It was still early when we returned to the Reid Manor. Anne heard us coming in and ran downstairs to look for me in her pajamas. I played with her for a while.

About half an hour later, Aaron came downstairs with a file in his hand. Walking and showing off with mysteriousness, he said, "Guess what this is?"

"I don't want to guess." I held Anne in my arms and tidied her hair absentmindedly. At this time, I just wanted to know whether Hendrix was safe amidst his enemies.

"That's boring." Aaron walked to the opposite side of the sofa and sat down. He raised his right leg and crossed it over his left leg, with his one hand on the arm of the sofa. The grey pajamas on him made him look homey and warm, were it not for his bad sense of humor. "You're so boring, you will be despised by other men."

I looked up and rolled my eyes. "Didn't you say you'll take care of me for the rest of my life? You're going back on your word in less than an hour?"

Aaron shrugged his shoulders, put the document on the table, and changed the subject. "Look, your man is quick enough. The divorce agreement is already here."

I was startled for a moment, but I wasn't eager to see it.

Aaron was a little surprised. "Don't you want to have a look?"

"What's there to see?" I continued playing with Anne, "It's just a piece of waste paper."

The more I had experienced, the less emotional I would get.

What was more, I'd already had an agreement with Hendrix. I had even seen the agreement with my signature. It was really not worthy of my shock.

As for Aaron, he held the agreement in his hand and flicked his fingers. "You don't say, except for the matter of the children's guardianship, Hendrix is very generous."

Seeing that he was smiling and nodding repeatedly, I started teasing him. "You thought that Hendrix had exploited me and looked down on him, but after acting together, you've changed your attitude towards him?"

Aaron was still smiling when he raised his face and gazed at me with a faint smile. "Do you think I did this for him? If he was not willing to let you and the children go at this time and let you and your children be in fear, I would not care about him."

He paused and threw away the documents in his hand, his expression even more serious. "Arianna, you have to know that only the Reid family, only me, are truly sincere with you. I don't care what you think in your mind. Hendrix, or Pedro and Valerie, I don't want you to fully trust them. They all have their own agendas, and you're my only sister. You are the person I cherish most. I will never hurt you."
