My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 953

I was stunned. Staring at the candy on the table, I nodded repeatedly as I answered, "Linda said that you liked sweets, and that you may get gastric pain. Hence, you have to eat a proper breakfast. I will remember these details from now on. What happened today was really due to my negligence."

"

Looking at him, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. I took a slight breath, looking at him seriously, waiting for his next instruction.

After staring at me for a while, he suddenly laughed and said helplessly, "It's okay, just don't let this happen again from now on. I'm fine, go back to work. Let's have lunch together later." Huh?!

As I looked at his pallid face, I couldn't help but be worried. "Can you stand the pain?"

He smiled and said, "I've had this issue for a long time. I'm used to it, and it's almost lunchtime. I don't want to trouble you to go out now."

I nodded and replied, "Then have some sweets first, and some water."

After I left his office, I still felt a little worried. After some thinking, I went to the pantry and got a glass of hot milk.

Naomi called me right then. I picked the call and said, "Good morning, have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet. Arianna, I need your help!" She seemed to be in the kitchen, as I could hear the sounds of crockery being moved around.

"What is it?"

"Send me the address of Sebastian's office, and I'll bring him lunch. I need to make an appointment before coming, right? Come down to help me bring the lunch to him later!"

"Okay!" I happened to be thinking about what to eat for lunch anyway. "Sebastian seems to have some gastric issues, which seem to be acting up. Come with some medicine. You are really just in time!" Naomi giggled and said, "Of course. Wait for me, I'll be there in half an hour."

I hung up the phone as I finished preparing the milk. Then, Linda came in to get some coffee, and she looked a little tired.

I asked, "Linda, did you sleep badly last night?"

She took a deep breath and nodded. "My kid is about to start school in the next few days. She had not finished her homework yet, so I've been supervising as she completed her work every night. I guess we should think twice before having kids. My daughter was fine when she was a baby, but now, she's getting naughty! Look at my wrinkles! It's all from stress!"

As she spoke, she moved closer to me, even pulling at her skin to show me her wrinkles.

I couldn't help laughing, "What grade is your daughter in?"

"She's going to be in third grade soon. I can't stop worrying about her!"

"My daughter is going to be in first grade soon too!" I couldn't help saying. I thought about Anne then, but given Anne's personality, I wouldn't have to worry about her.

She was a little surprised. After a pause, she looked at me and said, "You have a daughter? No way, you're married?"

I nodded. Seeing that she was shocked, I couldn't help but say, "I've been married for almost ten years."

She clicked her tongue, immediately switching to a gossipy mode. "So, what about you and Mr. Milton?"

I was stunned for a moment, as she might have misunderstood. I responded to her with a smile, "My relationship with Mr. Milton is platonic. I have known him for quite some time, and it's not what you think!" She put her hand on her forehead and sighed.

"That's right. There are only a few women who can get close to him. He's almost 40 years old now, but he's still single. The elderly Master Milton is going bald from worry when he thinks about our CEO."

What...

I really didn't know what to say, so I took the milk and left.

I reached Sebastian's office.

I knocked on the door and saw him still reading the documents. After a pause, I said, "Mr. Milton, have a glass of milk."

The candy on the table had disappeared, and I could see the wrappers in the trash. It seemed that he had eaten them.

Who would've thought that such a cool and aloof CEO would actually like sweets?

He raised his eyes and looked at the milk on the table. He frowned and said with some disdain, "I don't drink milk."

"Drink some at least. Your stomach will feel better!"

He shook his head. "No, thanks!"

After a moment, he looked up at me. "Didn't Linda tell you that I don't like milk?"

I shook my head!

He smiled and indicated for me to take the milk away. I pursed my lips, "It doesn't matter if you don't drink it usually, but now your stomach isn't feeling well. Warm milk will help ease the pain. Besides, milk does not taste bad!"

After that, I didn't wait for his reply and went straight out of the office. Naomi came very quickly after.

She called me, "I'm already downstairs. Come down quickly! I've met another handsome guy, he's even more handsome than Sebastian."

I hung up the phone and went down, and I saw her carrying a lunch box. When she saw me, she ran to me and shoved the lunch box at me.

She said hurriedly, "Arianna, it's for you and Sebastian. Don't tell him that it was from me, or he may not eat it. I'm going to see that handsome guy. See you later!"

I...

No, didn't she say she wanted to deliver the food to her Prince Charming? And now, she's just left the food with me?!

Seeing her running off to the other floor, I couldn't help but smile. All girls obviously fancied handsome men, like how all men liked beautiful young women. It was only natural...

Back at the office, it was almost lunchtime. Naomi had brought gastric medicine, and the food she prepared was also suitable for a weak stomach.

"Hmm? Did your friend send that to you?" Linda asked as she passed by.
