My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) -
Chapter 181
I frowned at his words, "Your sense of belonging comes from me?"
He didn't answer me but only stared at me.
I couldn't read him, so I fell silent.
It was an hour's ride from Andoland to Ucrebury. Aaron pulled his strings to sit beside me, but he didn't say a word to me in the whole journey. He only looked quietly at the scenery outside the window.
"Dear passengers, we have arrived in Ucrebury The broadcast started as soon as the train stopped by the station.
I got up and reached for my luggage on the rack. Before I could reach it, somebody took it down for me.
There were only clothes in the luggage. It wasn't heavy, but it wasn't light either.
Aaron was taller than me by half a head. I looked at him and stuck out my arm to take away the luggage as I said, "Thank you!"
He held the luggage in his hand, then grabbed my hand with another. I frowned and wanted to escape from his grasp.
He tightens his grasp, "It's too crowded here.
It's not safe."
I frowned, "I know. Let go of me!"
I struggled a few more times, but I still couldn't escape from his grasp. We eventually walked out along with other passengers.
People around us started whispering.
"Wow! He's so handsome!"
"Don't be silly. Don't you see that he already has a wife? His wife is pregnant."
"Oh, it's a pity. His wife is so lucky!"
Aaron looked at me with a faint smile.
Ignoring him, I lowered my head and left along with the crowd.
The exit was crowded with people. Aaron protected me as we squeezed through the crowd.
When we finally got out of the station, Aaron stepped aside to make a phone call and took me to the side of the road afterward.
I was getting impatient and said, "We're already out. Just let go of me. I'll grab a taxi!"
He lowered his eyes and looked at me. He said coldly, "I'll send you back. I've asked someone to pick us up."
"There's no need for that!" I reached out and pried my hand away from him.
He pulled me in, "Listen here! It hasn't been that long since you left the company. There might be the Roberts Group's shareholders out here trying to seek revenge from you."
"You don't have to scare me like this. The Roberts Group's incident only lasted for a week, so it wouldn't come to this extent," I said. I was inexperienced in investing, so I didn't quite understand his concern. He glanced at me as if he was looking at an idiot.
Soon after, a black Bentley stopped by the road. Without saying anything more, he handed the suitcase to the man in black, who got out of the car, before he pulled me into the car.
There were a lot of taxis near the station. But since the person Aaron called was already here, it would make me look pretentious if I had said anything more.
So I got in the car without saying anything.
Aaron sat next to me and said to the driver, "Go to the North Garden Restaurant."
I scowled, "Since we aren't heading to Flora Hill, I'll grab a taxi."
I wanted to get out of the car, but Aaron pulled me back. He then asked, "It's already noon. Even if you aren't hungry, at least eat for the sake of your baby."
I said lightly, "I'll eat when I get back to Flora Hill. Minnie is there!"
He sneered, "Trust me, you won't be able to. After all, Hendrix was hospitalized for half a month in Jarold City, and you did nothing. No husband could stand his wife being this unconcerned." He moved closer towards me as he spoke.
I distanced myself from him, then said in a disgusted tone, "I won't be able to eat with you either!"
"You can always choose to ignore my presence!" He said with an arrogant smirk as he stared out the window.
