Chapter 1554


    I was a little puzzled by her words. I nced at her and said, "I don''t know if Hendrix will agree with


    this. Besides, we''re getting older now, and we already have Anne."


    She shook her head and uttered, "It''s not about age. I''m older than you, yet I can still get pregnant.


    The Roberts'' business is already so well established. Another kid will liven the ce up. Then,


    when you guys are old, they can stay by your side and apany you. This is what makes old age


    so exciting."


    I realized what she was trying to say. I stared at her and asked, "Aunt Nerissa, are you pregnant?"


    She did not deny anything and instead said, "Well, it''s only been three months. It''s not certain yet.


    Jarred and I n to have a wedding soon, but we do not have the courage to tell Hendrix. This is


    why we kept postponing."


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    I remembered Hendrix had once said that he did not agree to the marriage between Aunt Nerissa


    and Jarred, because Jarred was part of the Milton family, and Hendrix had a grudge against them.


    Therefore, he did not agree to it.


    Thinking of this, I couldn''t help but look at Nerissa and said, "Aunt Nerissa, Mr. Milton is part of the


    Milton family. Are you aware?"


    She nodded her head calmly. "I''m aware. I am also aware of all the private disputes between


    Hendrix and the Milton family. However, all these exist only in the business world. Jarred is not


    involved in all these things. He''s just a simple old professor. He''s been alone his entire life. He just


    wants to spend the rest of his life with me. Arianna, if you can help me persuade Hendrix, I''d


    appreciate it. I''m old, and it''s not easy for me to meet a person that I want to settle down with."


    I knew what Nerissa meant, but I didn''t know how to exin it to Hendrix. Sebastian had just been


    arrested, and no one was sure who would be the next heir of the Milton family. We were not


    certain if the Miltons would go up against the Roberts again in the future.


    All these things were still uncertain.


    About two hourster, Hendrix and Jarred walked out of the sitting room. Judging from their


    expressions, they seemed to have had a good chat.


    "It''s a pity you two have other things to deal with, otherwise we could''ve had dinner together as


    well," Jarred said with a smile.


    Hendrix and I bade Nerissa and Jarred farewell.


    When we were out of the building, I reached out and grabbed Hendrix''s hand. "Hendrix, when you


    and Mr. Milton were in the sitting room, what did you guys talk about?"


    He put my hand in his palm and said, "We talked about the Milton family''s affairs. I will hand over


    the contract to him and ask him to hand it over to Master Milton. He has also decided to go ahead


    with the wedding."


    I was stupefied for a moment, and I couldn''t help but be delighted. I tugged his arm and said,


    "Really? Hendrix, you are too impressive. So the Roberts Groups will no longer be affected by


    Sebastian, and Mr. Milton and Nerissa can get married."


    Thinking of this, I couldn''t help muttering, "By the way, Aunt Nerissa is pregnant. She''s about three


    months along now. New Year is around the corner, Aunt Nerissa wants everyone to head back to


    Ucrebury to visit Uncle Trent and Aunt Kennedy."


    He nodded and kissed me on the forehead. "Why are you so delighted to see Aunt Nerissa and


    Jarred getting married? Silly girl!"


    I chuckled and looked up at him and said, "I don''t know why, but I''m delighted. Aunt Nerissa has


    been so lonely her entire life. Now she''s met her own Mr. Right, and she''s settling down. On top of


    that, she is pregnant. It''s all good news."
