My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 2290

I replied, "What's so great about it? Me getting married to someone else?"

Did Hendrix really mean what he said, or was he trying to hint me at something else?

I felt confused, and there was a sense of disappointment in my heart. I suddenly felt awake and walked to the balcony with my phone.

I waited for a while more, but there wasn't any reply from him. I was becoming impatient, thus I texted again, saying, "What do you mean?"

Waiting for his reply gave me mood swings, and that was the most torturing time. I moved around the whole night and didn't dare to sleep. Just in case I'll miss any of his messages.

However, Hendrix didn't reply at all throughout the whole night.

When it was dawn, I was still half asleep when I heard my phone ring. I got up immediately, only to find that it was just the alarm clock that I set the night before. I promised Aurelia to make her breakfast.

My hopes were crushed once again. Since I couldn't fall asleep anymore, I just got up and washed up.

What I didn't expect was that Jordan's car showed up by the roadside right after I sent the children to school.

I got my hopes up again. However, when the car door opened, it was Naomi who got out.

With a face that was very similar to mine, her expression was cold as ice. She walked towards me and slapped me on my face.

"Why do you always want to go against me?"

My head turned from the slap, and the stinging pain on my face distracted the many thoughts I had in my mind. It was like I woke up immediately. At that moment, the only thing I was concerned about was Jordan's whereabouts. I wasn't in the mood to argue with her. I turned back and looked at her calmly. I said in an impatient tone, "Do you know what you like now? A crazy woman.'

"

Naomi used to be a decent lady who grew up in a well-known family. She was rational and gentle. How did she become such a crazy woman? Her actions of coming forward and attacking me were simply barbaric.

"It's all because of you!" Naomi retorted aggressively, "Tell me, Arianna, what have I done wrong to you? Even though we are now on different sides with different stands, I have not done any harm to you. I just want to stay by Jordan's side and find my child back. You have children yourself. Aren't you supposed to understand the feeling of being a mother? But why did you destroy all of this?"

"Since when did I destroy your plans?" I was confused.

"Aren't you the one who exposed my real purpose of being with Jordan right in front of him?"

I wasn't fully in my right mind. Then, I came back to my senses and realized that she came arguing with me because of what happened at the dinner the night before. I'm guessing that things didn't go quite well for them after they returned back home.

My original intention was to provoke Jordan, but I didn't expect to hurt her by accident. Hence, I had to apologize, "I'm sorry. At that moment, I didn't have time to think about anything else. If what I said caused you any trouble, I will try my best to make it up to you."

"Make it up to me? Jordan dumped me like I'm rubbish, and I can no longer use his resources to find my son. How are you going to compensate me for that?"

In other words, my words indeed affected Joran in a way.

It happened because of me. No wonder she was so furious. After thinking for a while, I thought of a solution. "You know Tobias right? Whenever Jordan needs to look for someone, he probably has to go through Tobias. He still owes me a favor. Treat it as my compensation to you. If your child is still alive, he could definitely find him back."

"Definitely?" Naomi asked skeptically.

I shook my head. "Nothing's perfect. I can't guarantee you that he'll definitely find him."

"Hmph, how do you call this a solution when you can't even guarantee anything? You are not even sure if Tobias could find my son, yet you want me to forgive you for ruining my plan and making my life a mess? I realized that you've improved a lot in your scheming ability after being with Hendrix for a long time," Naomi scolded in a strange tone. It seemed that she didn't intend to give in.

dialed Tobias' number and told him about everything. Then, I even sent him a Whatsapp message just as a reminder.

Naomi looked at the message I'd sent to Tobias, and after noticing that he had read it, her gaze gradually calmed down. But she immediately gave a sharp gaze and stared at me again. She kept her phone, turned around, and got into the car. "This is not over yet."

After saying that, she slammed the car door and drove away.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Perhaps it was because I had the same experience of losing a child before. Hence, when looking at Naomi's reaction, I wasn't angry but felt sorry for her instead.

Only mothers would understand the mixed feelings during the process of looking for her child. Previously, she was forced to participate in Jordan's plan, but hopefully, she would meet the right person who would be right for her in the latter part of her life.

After parting ways with Naomi, I waited for Jordan to appear. But a day had passed, and there was no news at all.

The only thing I could do was to constantly comfort myself, that this was normal, and that Jordan always had different thoughts in mind.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be Jordan anymore.

Even after comforting myself, I still pounced when my phone rang at night, but when I noticed that it was Aaron, I sprained my ankle and fell onto the sofa.

I looked down and saw that my ankle was swollen. I endured the pain and tried to rub on it, then only I picked up the call. "Hello?"

"What took you so long to pick up the phone?" Aaron's voice sounded a little anxious.

Fearing that he would be worried, I adjusted my tone and replied calmly, "My phone was in the room, and I just came up."

"Okay." Aaron wasn't suspicious and naturally changed the topic, "Jordan didn't leave the villa for the whole day today."

"Really?" I tried to push the sofa and helped myself to sit up. "That's something unexpected to hear."

"He would easily get caught in his thoughts, especially when he is planning on something. He must be up to something bad."

What he said was right, but it didn't sound pleasant to hear. I thought of Hendrix's strange behavior the night before and quickly interrupted, "By the way, didn't you get someone to follow Hendrix? Nothing happened to him today, right?" "My dear Arianna, you should know that he is the safest person in the world now. Jordan wouldn't kill him unless he's sure that you have no feelings for him anymore. So, why worry?" Aaron sounded upset, most probably because he was secretly angry with Hendrix again.

I had no choice but to tell him what happened last night. "He still hasn't replied yet, even until now. How can I not be worried?"

"You are abusing yourself. It's not like you don't know Hendrix well enough. It isn't the first time that he's not replying to your messages anyway. What's there to be nervous about?"

It seemed like insulting Hendrix became Aaron's greatest pleasure as my brother. But I wasn't in the mood to join in. Hence, I pretended to be serious. "Aaron!"

"Okay, I'll tell you. Actually, he did nothing special besides hanging out with Lucas and his gang. He went to the Notary Public Office. After that, he stayed at Anne's club and never left."
