My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1690

As I stood up, Emma and Freya followed me with the child in their arms.

The family was even more worked up when they saw the baby. "Where is the baby! Give the baby back!"

I turned around, took the child from Emma's arms, and asked the woman who rushed to the front, "What evidence do you have to prove that the child is yours?"

Freya probably felt that I looked amiss, so she moved forward to push me with her elbow and asked, "Are you alright?"

I frowned and shook my head at her, indicating for her to calm down.

"My son has a birthmark on his right foot. It can't be wrong!" the woman who looked weak said in a fierce tone.

I changed position and held the baby in my arms. We checked the baby's little feet, which still looked purple and blue. I really saw the birthmark that the woman had mentioned.

Freya and Emma came over and said simultaneously in surprise, "How could it be? It's impossible..."

I took a deep breath and passed the child to her with trembling hands. "Come here and take the child back."

Hearing what I said, the bodyguards let the family in. The woman took the baby, crying and laughing. "Yes, it's my baby! I'll never forget this birthmark, forever!"

As she spoke, she was dragging the child's little feet and fiddling with the evidence in front of everyone.

I had nothing to say. Even if I only saw my baby boy once, my feeling was correct.

As if worried that we would antagonize them, the woman's family rushed forward to protect her and the child in front of us. They broke through the line of bodyguards and went away.

"Arianna, is there any misunderstanding? The babies were born in Reid Manor. How could they be swapped? How can I explain this to Aaron when he comes back..." Seeing the child being taken away, Emma wanted to chase them, but had no right to.

Instead of answering her, I changed the subject. "Aaron has not been back at all, has he?"

Emma was a little confused, but she still nodded and said, "No. He called once and said he'll be back tonight."

I continued and asked, "Where is Hendrix? Have you found him?"

Emma hesitated for a moment and finally shook her head. "We don't know what happened to him. We can't contact him."

After she finished, no one spoke in the living room, and the whole building fell into a strange silence.

After a long time, I laughed. Then the more I laughed, the more widely I showed my teeth. The more I laughed, the more watery my eyes became until tears burst out of my eyes, and my whole body was trembling.

Was this what Hendrix promised me? That everything would be fine?

I was cautious, not even daring to take a step out of the door, but we still lost the child, even at home. Hendrix hadn't shown up for more than ten hours.

Who else would have stolen my baby other than Eddison and his men?

Emma comforted me. "Arianna, you just gave birth. You can't cry."

"Don't touch me!" I covered my ears and squatted down. "You're all liars! Liars!"

The Reid family was all around me, but I had lost my own flesh and blood. I didn't know who I could trust.

I sensed a sudden weight on my shoulders, and it was Freya. "Calm down, Arianna."

She was used to such occasions and comforted me. She immediately ordered the servants, "Go, call all the people who came in and out of Reid Manor from yesterday until now..."

As soon as my ears began ringing, I could not hear clearly what was going on. Trembling, I hugged myself. I looked sideways at her figure and a signal came to my mind. I still had my daughter!
