My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 340

I laughed and said, "No matter how much I hate him, we are still bound by the law. After all, half of this house is my asset. If I don't come back, wouldn't I have to give it up?" She said scornfully, "Don't be sarcastic. I don't want your money at all."

I raised my eyebrows. "Who knows? You had your eye on my man after all."

Seeing that she was about to yell at me in frustration, I turned around and went to the yard. It was already autumn in Jarold City. Time passed in a blink of an eye.

Hendrix seemed to have heard the commotion and came out. When he saw Andrea, he furrowed his brows and pressed his lips together. "What are you doing here?" He asked indifferently.

Seeing her lover, Andrea's furious face turned into a gentle smile. "Hendrix, I heard from my father that you will go to the border town next month to discuss the project development. He asked me to send you the cooperation contract."

As she spoke, she glanced at the nanny who was supporting her. The nanny took out the documents and respectfully handed them to Hendrix.

"Pfft!" I couldn't stop my laugh from escaping.

It got the attention of two people. Hendrix pursed his lips and looked at me, saying, "It's cold outside. Go back in and put on a coat."

Andrea, on the other hand, stared at me with displeasure and a look of annoyance.

Ignoring her gaze, I walked up to Hendrix and wrapped my hand around his. "You hurt me a little just now. I don't want to walk. Go get it for me," I said.

As I spoke, I deliberately tilted my head a little, revealing the spot where he had bit hard on my neck.

My skin was tender, so if he bit it, there would definitely be a mark.

Seeing that Andrea's face was growing gloomier, I looked at Hendrix and smiled extremely sweetly. "Is that okay?"

Hendrix should very well know what I was trying to do.

He frowned slightly and glanced at Andrea. "In the future, just get Mr. Moore to bring it to the company. You don't have to send it here."

After a pause, he said, "It's cold. You should get home early."

"Hendrix, I..." Andrea started to speak.

Hendrix's brows knitted slightly, and he suddenly said in a low voice, "Please send my regards to Mr. Lawson."

The tone he used wasn't a friendly one. It was more of a warning rather than a greeting. Andrea was stunned, and her small face looked a little aggrieved. Hendrix pulled me with the intent of leading me back to the hall, but I let go of his hand. I looked up at him and said, "Help me get my coat. I'll send Miss Burton off."

He frowned.

Seeing him like this, I couldn't help but say, "You promised me that no matter what I do, you wouldn't question it."

He pursed his lips and paused. "It's cold outside. Don't stay out too long."

I nodded and watched him enter the hall. Then I turned back to look at Andrea with a faint smile. "Miss Burton, I'll walk you out!"

"No need!" Andrea was not happy at all. "Arianna, you're nothing but a woman who failed to protect your own child. What exactly can you be so arrogant about?"

Between the hall and the gate, there was a cobblestone path and a medium-sized pond by the path.

As it was winter, the fish in the pond were hibernating, and the lotus flowers on the water had withered. To preserve its beauty and cleanliness, the broken branches and dried leaves had been removed, making the surface of the water look clean.

Andrea held her waist with a look of disdain. She had ordered her nanny to leave just a while ago.

Looking at her, I couldn't help but sneer. "Miss Burton, what do you think I can be arrogant about? I indeed couldn't protect my own child. So, why don't we try and see if you can protect yours?"
