I was moved and didn't know what to say. I hurriedly avoided his sight and replied, "That's enough, don't be so cheesy."

Aaron spread out his hands and leaned back on the sofa. "Believe it or not, I'm your big brother. At least I'm frank with you. I have nothing to hide."

For some reason, this casual statement weighed heavily on me. In the past ten years, Hendrix and I have had ups and downs in life precisely because there were too many secrets between us. I'd hoped that we would be honest enough in the future.

After reading the agreement, Aaron took it back to the study room. As expected, even if I didn't read at all, the next morning, the news of my divorce from Hendrix had still spread on Twitter. Then, the official Twitter account of the Roberts Group released the divorce agreement signed by Hendrix and I, confirming that the rumors were true.

As I read the Tweet, I received a message from Hendrix through WhatsApp.

"Do you know why I'm doing this?"

His tone sounded cautious, as if he was afraid that I would think too much.

I smiled and tapped on the screen with my fingers, replying with words. "Sounds like a diversion."

Hendrix replied quickly, but he was a man of few words. "Clever."

Subsequently, the conversation bar showing that the other party typing disappeared. He was probably busy settling other matters.

I thought it would be peaceful for a while, but as soon as I sat down to have breakfast, Freya rushed in on her high heels.

She was as angry as a wasp. She walked to the living room and stopped to look around. Then she saw me sitting at the table. She frowned and strode over and threw the bag on the table. "What's going on? Is it because of Estella? Or is there another woman? Didn't I tell you to pay more attention to them? Those women outside are crazy. They don't have any morality or conscience. When they see wealthy and good-looking men, they will pounce on them. It's not easy for you to get together. Why don't you know how to manage it..."

"Stop!" I felt that she was too agitated, so I stopped her with a gesture, pulled out the chair next to me and asked her to sit down. "You didn't have breakfast, right? Sit down, I'll talk to you while eating." Freya looked down at the table and let out a deep breath. Then she sat down, but she still glared at me angrily. "Who cares about your food! Tell me now!"

I had no choice but to find an excuse and said coldly, "Our personalities don't match."

"Hmm?" Freya was so smart that this obviously could not fool her. "Are you kidding me? What's wrong with that? It's been ten years, and the edges have been smoothed out. Arianna, you'd better tell me the truth!"

No matter how good my acting skills were, a woman who was able to catch the heart of a handsome guy in university would see me through. I was silent for a long time before I sorted out the answers. "You know, I was kidnapped a while ago by Hendrix's rival. I told him to stop, but he refused. I wanted my children, so I left him. This time, we will not be able to get back together." I tried my best to show no emotion and make myself look indifferent.

As I had expected, my answer made her freeze for a moment. She frowned and thought for a while before she answered thoughtfully, "Recently, I heard some news that the Forbes family and the Roberts family are secretly targeting each other. Seeing how Aaron has messed with the Forbes family on Twitter, I thought that you two have formed a united front... But, since there's no problem with your relationship, why did you make this move? Do you know that you're giving chances to other women?"

Ever since she entered the room, she had been very nervous. She had been paying attention to the women around Hendrix, and I found it strange.
