My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1891

I then realized that there were no weak members in the Marshall family.

Ignoring Sebastian who was still lying on the ground, Jordan turned to us with a smile and said calmly, "Let's head to our next stop."

After that, he walked right past Sebastian and towards the door. He moved slowly as if nothing had happened which made us feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

Hendrix stared at his back for a while before leading me up the stairs.

Crash-

"Jordan, you will regret this!"

The second I walked out of the room, I heard the sound of glass shattering behind me which scared me enough to make me tremble on the spot. I looked at the unlatched mechanical door, guilt rising up my throat like bile. A terrible feeling sat in the pit of my stomach.

"It doesn't matter," Jordan's voice brought me back to reality. When I turned to him, I found that he was still looking as gentle as ever. He smiled and said, "He's irrelevant. I'll deal with him, so neither you nor Hendrix need to bother."

Ding-

The elevator door opened at this moment, and Jordan entered first. When our eyes met, a chill ran down my back and I couldn't move my feet.

Hendrix patted me gently and lowered his head to appease me. "Don't be afraid. With Jordan here, everything will be alright."

I looked deep into his eyes, and then at Jordan. This was the first time I felt truly uncertain since coming to the island.

Could the Marshall family really handle someone as difficult as Sebastian?

"He's right," Jordan's gentle voice sounded again, "As your brother-in-law, you can trust me completely."

His eyes were clear, his voice was delicate, and he looked so innocent. If I hadn't seen with my own eyes how he had defeated Sebastian earlier, I wouldn't have pegged him to be this strong. Hendrix tightened his grip on my shoulder, hinting me to not break out of character.

The corners of my lips curled into a smile. "I'll have to trouble you then," I replied.

Nodding to each other, Hendrix helped me into the elevator. We followed the Marshall family's plan and continued to see the other research projects.

Due to what happened, everyone seemed to be slightly dazed. We strolled for another half a minute and then went our separate ways.

I was worried about the babies, so I went straight back to the castle with Hendrix.

Before we reached the nursing room, we heard sounds of quarrelling from a distance.

"Apologies, the parents have said that apart from the babysitter we brought, no one is allowed to approach the children."

"No, you don't understand the

situation. I am an infant nurse with a

world-class professional nursing certificate who the Marshalls exclusively employed. As I am the professional here, you best leave this to me. The babies are about to turn one; it's about time professional tests and planning are carried out. Trust me, no one here will hurt the babies."

"There's no need for that. We will take care of this. Please leave immediately."

It seemed that there was a conflict

between Evan and the nurse Nathan had arranged for the children. Although it was a heated

conversation between the two, the situation was still very much

harmonious and under control.

I stopped at the door for a second and was thinking about how best to resolve the issue when

Hendrix suddenly pushed the door open and walked in.

"Get out," Hendrix's voice was a little hoarse when he spoke, but it did not hinder the power exhibited through his gaze and posture. As soon as Hendrix spoke, the whole bedroom suddenly quieted down.
