My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 521

I glanced at Hendrix. A man six feet tall, whose body so stiff as though he had just been shot, holding Anne in his arms, making his moves very carefully.

I could not help but laugh. Sawyer pursed his lips and looked at me, 'Anne has very few things, lan and I will send it over later. She cries at night mostly because she is hungry. You should let her sleep next to you these two days so that you can feed her milk when she cries."

I nodded, "Please join us for the New Year's Eve dinner. Everyone is in Ucrebury, and it's so hard for all of us to get together."

Sawyer looked at lan, seeking her opinion.

lan nodded, "Sure, I am not going back to Jarold City, it's the perfect time to spend our first new year together with Anne"

Sawyer nodded and agreed with lan. He turned to me and said, "I'll send you the details of the venue and time later. My mother has reminded me several times. If it's inconvenient for you tonight, you may bring Anne along."

I was stunned for a moment before I realized that Valerie had invited me for dinner.

"It's not safe to bring Anne along, I won't be attending the dinner, you should go!"

Sawyer turned to Hendrix and asked, "Are you going, Mr. Roberts?"

Knowing Hendrix, he would usually reject. Little did I know, he nodded and replied, "Yes!"

After that, he made his moves slowly to the door, with Anne in his arms. Ian looked at him, pressing her lips, trying her best not to laugh.

If it weren't for Hendrix's cold disposition, I would've laughed the whole time I saw him.

My head was throbbing. I really didn't want to see Valerie.

I walked to Hendrix's car where he had clipped on the baby cradle onto the baby car seat. I climbed into the back seat of the car to sit with Anne.

lan and Sawyer shifted Anne's belongings into the car. Sawyer parted us goodbye and rushed to his office.

Hendrix ignited the car engine and drove out of the Bronzy Residence. I couldn't help but ask, "Weren't you usually reluctant to attend this kind of social event?"

He pursed his lips and asked, "Haven't you noticed that Sawyer has been very busy recently?"

I stumbled briefly but then continued, "A little!" "Haven't you thought about it?" Perhaps because Anne was in the car, Hendrix drove his car slowly and steadily.

I thought for a moment and said, "He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Although Valerie controls the Clark family's business, he is still the heir of the Clark family. Part of starting up Brilliant Audit is a test for himself and his own self-interest too. Now that the end of the year has come, the annual audits should either be done or delayed to next year. But there are not many companies to be audited around this time. Why is he so busy? Is he short of money? Did he run into something?"

Hendrix replied, "You know how to analyze, which means that you are not too dumb."

I...

Why did he have to say that?

I asked him as I played with Anne, "So what happened to Sawyer?"

"Have you heard of the butterfly effect?"

I went blank for a while and replied, "One small incident could have a big impact on the future?

He replied, "Yes." His jet-black eyes looked at the road in front of him. He was particularly focused, because of Anne.

"What happened to Valerie has not only affected her business, but also everything else related to her. Most of her businesses have gone stagnant, which indirectly affects Clark's family, including Sawyer's. Clark is a large corporation, Its capital and structure will still be able to sustain under pressure for a period of time."
