My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1752

However, according to Hendrix, he had never noticed it. But the company still spread rumors about Estella, which could only prove that Estella was very cunning.

Hendrix did not intend to let me off so easily. He continued on, "By the way, I haven't eaten food cooked by you for a long time. I miss it a little."

"What?" I was lost in my thoughts, and it took me a long time to realize that he was flirting with me, so I joked deliberately. "Oh, you want a homemade lunch from me? Nope."

Hendrix's expectations were dashed, and the light in his eyes dimmed a lot. He was disappointed and looked helpless on the phone screen.

I said, "But... tomorrow is the weekend. If someone wants to come to Reid Manor to see his children, I wouldn't mind preparing a meal for one more!"

"Okay, see you tomorrow night." Hendrix chuckled and then hung up the call in a good mood.

I found that this man was actually very easy to deal with. He was like a cat. If you paid a little attention to him, everything was negotiable.

After putting down the phone for a while, Freya came in again. Seeing that I was not talking with Hendrix anymore, she went to fetch her bag, ready to leave.

She asked, "I have something to deal with in my company. Shall we head there together?"

"But Estella hasn't come back yet. How about all these documents on the table?" I asked.

Freya shrugged her shoulders and spread out her hands. "Who cares, just leave them here for her to clean it up. You still haven't understood the essence of kicking someone down, huh? The thought of 'consideration for the rival' is not allowed."

Indeed, kindness to the enemy was to be cruel to oneself, especially with Estella's evil intentions. Even if she had to suffer, she deserved it.

After thinking for a while, I got up and took Freya's arm, the two of us heading out. "I'll go home while you head back to the company. I didn't spend much time with Aurelia and the others today. I miss them." Freya scoffed at my words and said, "Kids have to learn to grow up by themselves. If you put too much emphasis on them, watch out if they can't be independent later."

I replied, "That's fine. It doesn't matter as long as they're safe and sound."

There was quite a long distance from the headquarters of Roberts Group to the Reid Manor. I was thinking about my children, as well as the fact that I was terminally ill. I kept looking out of the window absentmindedly.

When we passed the crossroads, the driver parked the car under the red light. The bustling business street was next to us with several bars. While we were waiting for the cars, we heard a commotion from a nearby bar. From afar, a woman pushed a man and seemed to have offended him, and it looked like they were going to fight.

This reminded me of what happened with Eunice. If that child were saved, he could probably call names by now.

Two minutes later, the green light lit up. The driver revved his engine and slowly moved away from that dangerous place. I looked coldly at the scene of the bar falling behind the car, indifferent.

Half an hour later, the car finally drove into Jarold City's more affluent residential district. After turning the corner, I saw a prominent blue sports car parked at the gate of the Reid Manor from a distance. When the car got close, I saw that Zoel was standing next to the car.

With my rigid impression of him, I was somewhat surprised at that moment. Zoel had no contact with the Reid family, so he must have been waiting for me outside.

After asking the driver to stop the car, I opened the door and walked towards him.

Zoel saw me coming towards him. He took the initiative to greet me. "Miss Reid."
