My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) -
Chapter 841
I nodded. I had already wrapped myself under a thick layer coat and couldn't wait to go downstairs. Anne didn't wait for me to speak when she saw me coming.
Anne didn't wait for me to speak when she saw me coming, and she immediately threw a snowball at me while giggling. So, I didn't bother speaking and picked up a snowball on the ground. Squeezing it in my hand, I started a snowball fight with her.
After all, she was still a child and I was an adult. When Anne lost after a few rounds, she automatically formed an alliance with Nerissa. I could not handle the two of them fighting with me at the same time.
Fortunately, with Hendrix joining me, the battle became much more relaxing for me. Anne began to act shamelessly after being hit by the snowballs several times.
Sitting down on the snow-covered ground, she complained, "Mommy, this is so unfair. You're both adults. I'm a child and Aunt Nerissa is an elderly woman. This won't do."
Nerissa tutted and said stubbornly, "Anne, since when did I become an elderly woman? I'm still very strong, okay?"
Anne shot her a knowing look, indicating her to put on an act. Nerissa understood immediately, looked at us and added, "Anne is right. Both of you are strong, young people. Isn't this a little unfair?" "Then, why don't we switch partners?" I spoke. I couldn't help but laugh while looking at the two of them.
Hendrix pursed his lips and said, "I'm injured, and my mobility isn't that great. There's no difference between us."
Although his words made sense, he still sounded as if he said so on purpose.
Anne scoffed and said timidly, "Mr. Roberts is obviously being ridiculous."
Anne didn't want to lose the fight, and Hendrix didn't want to switch teammates, so the only thing we could do was to build a snowman.
It was snowing heavily in Jarold City. With snow as deep as ten centimeters, it was indeed a good choice to build a snowman.
I had never seen snow again after returning to Ucrebury many years later. Therefore, I had begun to miss the late winter where I could build a snowman.
The Roberts Group had already gotten on the right track. As Hendrix didn't want me to mention Irvin, I felt that after a long time had passed, I seemed to have never known them at all.
In the early spring of the year, after a few light storms, the withered trees in Jarold City began to sprout again, and even the peach trees in the courtyard bloomed.
Hendrix said that he had forgotten to bring me to enjoy seeing plum blossoms the year before. I retorted that he had forgotten a lot of things he had promised me as we were supposed to visit the north before New Year.
However, at the moment, we could only wait until the year after. I had applied for a long leave for Anne because I intended to take her back to Ucrebury.
Hendrix was busy with the company's business and did not have time to accompany me. However, he asked Evan to come with us because he was worried.
At the airport, Evan went off to buy something while we were waiting to board the plane. That was when I had received a call from Freya.
"When will you come back from Ucrebury?" she asked. From her voice, it seemed that she was eating.
"I'll come back after I'm done visiting." I was heading back to visit the graves of the people whom I had lost.
She complained over the phone, "You have to come back soon. I'm going to give birth. Don't miss the birth of my baby."
I smiled faintly. Looking up, I saw that Evan was walking towards me after buying something, so I said, "Alright, alright, I get it. I will definitely come back when you're about to give birth."
Evan handed me a bottle of water, looked at me and said, "Mrs. Roberts, it's time to board the plane."
I looked at the boarding gate and saw that people were already starting to board the plane one after another. I said to the phone, "I'll definitely come back before you give birth. It's time to board the plane. I'll hang up first!"
Evan sent Hendrix a text message once we got on the plane. He then requested the stewardess for a blanket and gave it to me and Anne, "You and Anne got up really early this morning. It will take four hours to arrive in Ucrebury. You two can sleep for a while."
I smiled faintly, looked at him and asked, "Evan, I know that you're married. Do you have any kids?"
He nodded, looked at me and replied, "Mrs.
Roberts, yes, we have a child."
That was such a formal response!
