My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1806

As I thought about that, I turned to look at Milleon's honest face and felt an indescribable pang of emotion in my heart.

This was the first I had ever felt, twice about the same person, the expression "not to judge a book by its cover."

He looked like a nobleman, but he was someone who'd found wealth later in life. While I had thought of him as a fool, I later found that he was a legendary icon when it came to money. Who could have imagined that?

Just as I was lost in my thoughts, there was a commotion at the door. It sounded like a big shot had appeared. Following the ruckus, I saw Serene dressed in a blue strapless gown with Hendrix by her side. He wore a well-tailored black tuxedo. Due to his height, his face was especially eye-catching amongst the crowd.

As far as I knew, Milleon hadn't sent any invitations to the Forbes family. It seemed that Serene had made the correct decision after listening to Zoel.

Recently, the Forbes family had been in close contact with the Drake family. Those rumors about Bate Coin were confirmed, and those who wanted to get a share of the pie were secretly leaning closer to Serene.

Hendrix stood still with a blank face and showed a look of great impatience. For a moment, he whispered to Serene and then headed towards the bathroom.

Suddenly, Emma's eyes lit up. She lifted the hem of her skirt and walked in front of us, "I saw some of my friends. I'm going over to say hello. Don't wait for me."

"Hey. Where did you get this friend of yours? Hey..." Aaron sounded nervous, but he couldn't bring himself to speak louder. Seeing that she didn't respond, his face darkened as if he wanted to gobble her up as he murmured, "She's only been Mrs. Reid for a few days, and she's already become such a social butterfly."

He gnashed his teeth as he said that. I did a double- take at him, only to find out that the "friends" Emma referred to were all young socialites. She was surrounded by tall, handsome men as they talked and laughed in high spirits.

Emma was a real beauty, and right now, she was alone. Men naturally gravitated towards the fact that she was single, and from their expressions and behavior, it was obvious that they were trying to win her

over.

I smiled bitterly and thought to myself, "If he's jealous, he should go stand beside her. Who'd dare hit on her then?"

Shaking my head, I patted Aaron on the shoulder, saying, "Women need to be coaxed."

Then I left him alone and walked into the crowd, leaving Aaron baffled without looking back.

Aaron probably didn't expect that he, a handsome man in Jarold City, would be abandoned by two women on the same day.

It was just the beginning of the party. There was practically nobody in the corridor outside the restroom, and my footsteps echoes out clearly.

I stopped at the men's restroom. As I was thinking about how I could pretend to run into Hendrix, a hand grabbed my wrist and pulled me inside.

After a dizzying moment, I realized that I was pressed against the door by Hendrix when I came to my senses. Our faces were very close, and his warm breath blew on my face, it tingled and tickled me. "M'lady, I've been waiting for a very long time." His voice was deep. He had deliberately lowered his voice, making him sound even more charming.

No one would remember how angry they had been when faced with his beautiful target.

I sighed helplessly and didn't dare meet his scorching gaze. I muttered resentfully, "You were already accompanying a beautiful lady tonight. Why were you waiting for me?"

Hendrix moved even closer to me. I averted my face, as his breath just happened to hit my neck. It was so ticklish that I subconsciously bit my lip.
