My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) -
Chapter 1887
Suanne was born into a good family. She was a gentle and easy-going person before the car accident. When I came here, I was looking forward to meeting her, but it seemed that I had too high of expectations.
People who lived with Nathan for decades, regardless of who they were, would become selfish and greedy.
I looked at her coldly for two seconds, and suddenly felt pity for her and her life. "You must have missed your son very much in all these years. Unfortunately, how could Nathan allow you to have contact with the person he had always looked down on? He was the one who schemed that car accident and left Hendrix behind while you did nothing. Now Hendrix has returned, so you put on airs, sulking and antagonizing his most beloved person for no reason. Do you think this is love, Or do you think this can make up for the harm you caused by abandoning Hendrix?"
I could take a good guess at what Suanne was thinking. I walked over and picked up the white porcelain bowl. "You only saw me taking charge of the situation and him being swept up by it, but you don't see how his heart has been bleeding because you guys showed up. Even if I was incompetent or insensible, at least I wouldn't leave him alone for any reason."
After that, I pursed my lips and smiled. Then I walked back to the dining room with the soup. As soon as I walked to the door, I met with Hendrix, face-to-face. "Why did you come in?"
Hendrix's tall figure almost blocked the entire corridor. He first swept his gaze over Suanne before lowering his head and asking softly, "Why did you take so long?" Suanne replied with a hint of embarrassment in her tone, "We were just chatting for a bit. Are you afraid that I will bully her?"
Her words sounded rather bitter.
Whenever a woman saw their son prioritize their partner in life, it was easy for them to feel like they were losing their son, and would thus become green with envy. However, Hendrix was not willing to play the role of a caring son to her. He asked harshly, "Isn't that what happened?"
"You..." Suanne started sobbing, her eyes filled with waves of bitter emotions.
"I'm fine," I said, not wanting them to have more problems, so I forcefully dragged Hendrix out.

Just as we walked out of the door, a servant led Baldrick in. Behind them was a young man in glasses and a formal suit. At first glance, we couldn't tell who he was, but once we got a better look at him, Hendrix and I froze at the same time.
Who else could that gentleman be other than Sebastian?
As our gazes remained fixated on him, Sebastian also saw us. His eyes were bloody red and malicious. He met our eyes with a horrible smile on his mouth, which made us shudder.
Baldrick led him to the dining room and greeted the host respectfully, "Mr. Marshall, he's here."
Hearing that, everyone from the
Marshall family stopped eating, and
Suanne also walked out of the

kitchen. To keep what happened, earlier under wraps, she had
switched up her posture and redid her hair. She still looked like a regal and elegant lady from a rich and powerful family.
"Right." Nathan nodded after a long time and then looked up at Sebastian, "Are you Sebastian?"
"That's right, Mr. Marshall." Sebastian gave Nathan a bow but his eyes glinted in an ambiguous way.
"I've seen the projects you've done in Mesville. You've done a good job in the future, Mr. Yeager will continue to support you," Nathan sat in his chair and spoke in a casual tone. He was not angry, but forceful
