Chapter 1647


    He was talking about Charles. During the New Year holiday, Charles had needed to do a lot of work inspections. We hadn''t seen him when we visited


    the Reid Manor.


    Iughed at him and said, “You don''t have toe in person. Just call me and I''ll take Anne there."


    Aaron looked ahead and a faint smile appeared. "Toe in person means you''re perfectly safe.”


    "What?" I turned my head curiously as I felt that what he''d said was strange, but I couldn''t tell how and where.


    “Nothing.” Aaron let out a long sigh and looked up in the rear view mirror to tease Anne. "I missed Anne, so I want to see her earlier. Of course I


    shoulde in person. Right. Anne?"


    "That''s right!" Anne couldn''t stop smiling. Naturally, I didn''t say anything else, and let Aaron take us to the Reid Manor.


    Aaron was driving in a hurry. It took only 40 minutes during the evening rush to reach the Reid Manor, rather than the normal one-hour joumey.


    Charles doted on girls, and never stopped smiling when he saw Anne.


    In the blink of an eye, it was already half past eight at night. Usually at this time, I should''ve been coaxing Anne to sleep. After ying for so long, she


    didn''t want her dear grandfather anymore. She then stuck to me and was rubbing her eyes frequently with her tiny hands, looking really sleepy.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    I changed my body posture to make Anne morefortable and was ready to go back home. "Aaron. please have the driver to drive us back. It''s


    getting a little toote.”


    Just as Aaron was about to get up, Charles, who was standing beside him, stopped him. "Hey, it''s not safe to go back now. You can sleep here.


    tonight. Since tomorrow is the weekend, let the child stay with me for two more days. Aaron, have someone clean up the guest room."


    "Okay." Aaron stood up while getting support from the sofa.


    At this moment, Emma suddenly appeared at the entrance of the staircase. She poked her head toward the stairs and shouted, "The room is ready.


    Arianna, quickly bring the child to sleep."


    I was stunned on the spot and felt a little awkward. It had only been less than a minute after Charles said that. and Emma was already done with it?


    Did they foresee this?


    It felt like they did it on purpose to keep me here.


    When I thought the probability of Hendrix not returning home was high, I decided to stay, since we were already here. I then got Aaron to carry Anne


    upstairs.


    After tucking Anne under tne quilt,


    rer


    walked out ofthe living room and


    took out mymobile phone. I was.


    going togend a message to Hendtix


    to informa him, but Aaron reached:


    out ad stopped me. "Are you.


    sendi ng Hendrix a message? You


    don''t have to. I told him before I

    He looked calm and rxed as if he was telling the truth. However, he was used to being devious. Cautiously, I asked, "Are you sure?"


    "Of course. Why should I lie about something like this?” Aaron remained calm, so there was nothing suspicious about him


    Coincidentally, my cell phone''s


    screen suddenly lit up, signalling.


    that it had run out of power. Aaron


    snatched the phone and continued,


    "Leave it to me. I''ll charge it and


    return it to you tomorrow." Content

    Before I could react, Aaron took the phone and went out. He even closed the door along the way. I had no choice but to go back to the bedroom to


    sleep, but there was a light knock on the door.


    "Arianna, are you asleep?”


    It was Emma. Since we always got along well with each other, and I was not asleep yet, I opened the door and let her in.


    After having the usual private conversations between women, I found that Emma was hesitating. It was obvious that she hade with other


    purposes.


    Thinking about what happened this day, I adjusted my expression. I said seriously, "Emma, just say what you want to. We''re sisters-inw, so we''re


    family. There is nothing to hide."


    Aaron had’ tried his best to bring me


    here. Ever Charles cooperated with


    them and had pretended that he''d


    lost track of the time, requesting for


    Anne “and I to stay. Things were


    definitely not that simple. Content
