My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 517

After dinner, Sawyer returned to the company while Hendrix took Anne and I to register her residence permit.

In the car.

There was something I wanted to say that I held back for a while now. I glanced at Hendrix and finally asked, "Isn't Sawyer Valerie's biological son?"

I had seen how much Valerie doted on Andrea, but she didn't seem to care much about Sawyer.

He started his car and focused on driving. He replied, "When Sawyer's father married Valerie, Sawyer's mother had died in a car accident, so Sawyer lived together with Valerie when he was a teenager."

As a teenager, Sawyer didn't have much affection for Valerie.

"Why did Valerie invite us for dinner?" I asked. Logically speaking, I was the last person she would want to see.

At the traffic light junction, the car came to a gradual stop. He glanced at me and replied, "Do you still resent them?"

I was stunned, "What do you mean?" "Do you still resent Valerie and Andrea?" Hendrix asked.

I tightened my lips and subconsciously peered at Anne who had fallen asleep. I couldn't help but say, "I have no choice but to move past it. I've still got a long way to go in life."

I couldn't let myself stay in the past forever without moving on. Though I couldn't forget about Monique or my child, the best I could do was not let the past consume me.

Moreover, Andrea and Valerie were not doing well now.

The residence permit registration process was quick and efficient. As Hendrix had been an Ucrebury resident for years, paired with his good connections and financial stability, there was no issue in approving the registration.

Hendrix skimmed through the three pages on my residence booklet and said with a smile, "We have a new member in our family."

I didn't think much of this at the time. However, now that I did think about it, it was true that Grandma had spent her whole life in the small county town of Hovell. So, how could she possibly get acquainted with Master Roberts, who had been in Ucrebury, or even Aaron's father for that matter?

I couldn't help but feel that this didn't make sense. However, even if I wanted to get to the bottom of things now, I couldn't because Grandma had already passed on.

"These are all matters of the past. Even if we were to try to dig things up, there's nothing much to be discovered. It's getting cold, we should hurry up and get Anne back home!" I said.

He grunted slightly and did not say anything else.

I figured that Anne might not immediately get used to being moved to Flora Hill, so after discussing with Ian, it was agreed that I would take Anne to Flora Hill during daytime and send her back to Bronze Residence at night.

After a long and busy day, it was already very late when we returned to Flora Hill.

I was feeling a little sleepy. As soon as I opened the car door, Hendrix didn't even give me any chance to relax as he immediately carried me out of the car.
