My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 931

Tina nodded and said, "That's a good idea!"

After chatting for a while, I raised my head and looked at the rooms on the second floor several times.

After a moment's pondering, I went upstairs.

Dahlia only came to open the door after I'd knocked for a long time. When she saw me, she paused slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Can we talk?"

She frowned, took a step back, and allowed me into the room.

She seemed to be really devout. As she had come back from the brink of death, she'd painstakingly searched for a cross, and began to pray in her room.

She sat on the couch, in front of that cross. She put her palms together and recited bible verses.

"What do you want to talk about?" she asked.

I looked at her and asked, "Do you believe that God will bless you?"

She looked towards me and said solemnly, "If He didn't bless me, I wouldn't be talking to you here right now."

I was speechless instantly, and couldn't help feeling that rather than God, she had been possessed by the devil. I paused and said, "I heard that your family is in Asherton. Rainie intends to open a shop there, after returning to the country. Have you thought about taking part?"

"No!" She responded sharply, in her usual hostile tone.

I nodded and thought for a moment. Then I said, "What happened that day... I didn't mean for it to happen. I really didn't want to hurt any of you more than anyone else. I didn't expect that Tiago would hurt you this way. I..."

"Enough!" She interrupted me and looked at me coldly, "Arianna, do you think you're that noble? You're always so high and mighty. Did anyone tell you that you seem to be faking it?" Stunned, I just stared.

She curled her lips and sneered. "You probably didn't realize it. You are obviously a cold and selfish person, but you insist on making yourself seem far more than that. You had a unique upbringing. Men fall for you, and there's always someone to keep you safe. You got all these things so easily. Was there anything that you'd worked hard to achieve? Nothing, right?"

I couldn't refute that. I fell speechless for a

moment.

Her agitation rose. "You just like to put on this noble and innocent facade. Actually, you hate me more than anyone else. Why would you keep quiet when Tiago chose me, otherwise? That is because deep down in your heart, if I suffered in their place, you wouldn't feel so bad about it. After all, you didn't like me to begin with, right?"

I fell silent. It frightened me that I actually felt what she said was right.

I could not pick out my true feelings anymore. I wondered how much of Dahlia's words were my true thoughts? I think most of what she said was right.

It was true that I wanted to save them, but it was also true that I didn't try my best to do so. Everything just happened naturally, and I didn't do much at all.

Even when I knew that Hendrix would be looking for me in Myanway, I still felt at ease here.

"What's the matter? You have nothing to say?" She laughed coldly, looking at me with an exceptionally sardonic expression.

I got up, and left without saying a word.

There were very few people who could face their own deep flaws. I was no exception.

The next day arrived.

Sunlight passed through the glass and fell on the bed in the bedroom. It was already August. Autumn would arrive soon.
