My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 2345

Without thinking at all, I grabbed the paper in my hand and got up abruptly. With a gloomy face, I said, "Enough, it's so noisy here. Get out of my way. I'm going out."

Freya looked at me as if she saw her savior. As she expressed her admiration towards me, she stood up and said, "Did you hear what she said? Are you all blind? Get out of the way!" They were completely frightened by our attitude and eventually made way for us.

When I walked out of the cafe and saw the toilet sign, I immediately dragged Freya in with me.

After making sure that no one was inside any of the cubicles, I unveiled the paper in my hand to her.

"Where did you get this from?" Freya was in the middle of fixing her makeup, but she paused and asked nervously.

"From those women just now," I answered truthfully.

"No wonder. Here I was wondering who were those stupid women." Freya said thoughtfully, "Hurry up and open it."

I unfolded the note and revealed its contents.

"Map received and currently being analyzed. If anything happens, contact this number."

Since it mentioned a map, I could guess the sender. "They're with Cyrus."

"Cyril's older brother?" Freya asked.

"Yes." I nodded. "Last time, Jordan took me to an island where all his goods were produced. I remembered the location roughly and asked Cyril to bring him the map." Freya nodded and did not ask any more questions.

I thought for a moment and asked Freya for her phone, "Can you lend me your phone. We might be able to get something out of Jordan's card. Let me take a picture and send it to him." After that, we memorized the number written on the paper and flushed it away. Then, we left as if nothing had happened.

To be safe, we went to another shopping mall and took the initiative to talk to people from some rich and powerful families. We talked to them for a while before going back home. Freya sent me home and left. She wanted to look for Anne, so I didn't invite her to stay.

There were a few luxury cars parked at the door.

They were most probably Jordan's guests, so I didn't pay much attention to them.

But as soon as I entered the door, I saw Valerie and Pedro.

"Mom, Dad, why are you both here?"

As soon as I put down my bag, I could hear Aaron's voice at the door. "Don't forget about Emma and me."

I couldn't figure out what was going on, so I looked at Aaron, trying to read his face for answers.

Aaron moved his lips and raised his chin to point at the stairs.

I followed where he was pointing and saw Jordan, who was wearing casual clothes, as he walked down and said, "I told them to come. thought that you might want to have a meal with your family. Am I right?"

While he was talking, he was already in front of me. "I'll give you back what you have lost. Are you happy?"

Looking at his inexplicably confident expression, I was helpless and said nothing.

Jordan was there when I fell out with Aaron, but I couldn't understand why he felt that he could ease our relationship.

In truth, we didn't argue for real.

But this meal was still as awkward

as it could be. Although Jordan tried his best to seem easygoing, he couldn't hide his attitude of being superior. Every word he said was like ordering his subordinate around

without consideration.

"Uncle Pedro, Aunt Valerie, you both are welcome to move in and enjoy the family life together."

"Aaron, men shouldn't act so petty. After tonight, let's just put those things behind and pretend it never happened. You and Arianna will still be loving siblings."

Aaron and Valerie did not respond. The atmosphere was so awkward that it was getting harder to breathe.

In the end, I couldn't stand it anymore. I didn't want to let Aaron and the others go through such an awkward meal, so I threw the bowl and stood up, "That's enough, will solve my family problems myself. You don't have to act all noble and gracious here!"
