My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 609

I was surprised. Back then, I was ready to divorce him even without the Moore Family.

Moments later, I said, "Even if I didn't go back, I still thought of divorce. It had nothing to do with the Moore Family."

He smiled with a hint of self-mockery, "It wouldn't be easy to divorce me without the Moore Family backing you up."

That's true. Not to mention that I was pregnant at the time.

He let out a sigh and a bitter smile. "I was too self-opinionated. So, it became like this."

"Why was Aaron involved in this?" I knew that Aaron was kind to me, but why wouldn't he let me go back to the Moore Family?

He was silent for a moment and said, "Things in the Moore Family are too complicated. It's fine if you guys managed to stay safe and sound. But if something had happened, everyone would be ruined. The Moore Family has offended too many people these years. Without the protection of the Moore Family, how could you live?"

That's why Aaron made use of Irvin's recommendation to get me to become Charles' stepdaughter. His goal was if I got accepted into the Moore Family and anything happened to them, I would still have the Reid family's and Hendrix's protection. Was that the reason? I thought.

They stumbled all the way, always thinking of a way to protect me. But everything happened by accident, including the death of the child and Monique. There was no way to avoid it.

I sighed. Looking at the blue sky outside the window, my heart was empty. How long had it been? I was so close to forgetting how I was in the past.

Four years could heal wounds. But was it really possible to reunite again?

It wouldn't be that easy.

Hendrix said, "Go back to Jarold City with me. I've been preparing our wedding for four years. I'm only waiting for you to come back!"

His voice was deep and affectionate.

I didn't respond. I glanced down at my watch and felt that it was getting late. Thus, I withdrew from his arms and said, "The school is over soon, I have to pick up Anne."

His black eyes became deep. He pursed his lips and nodded. "I'll go with you!"

He looked at me while holding on to the steering wheel. He hesitated for a moment, but then he asked, "It's been four years, Jarold City has changed a lot. Do you want to go back and have a look?"

Did I want to go back?

That would probably happen sooner or later.

I didn't say anything. He thought that I didn't want to go back, so he sighed slightly and said, "Mrs. Roberts, when Anne falls down, who would be in more pain? You, or her?"

I was stunned. I glanced sideways at him. Looking at him driving seriously, I said, "Although she isn't my flesh and blood, after four years, both of us are already a family. When she gets hurt and she's in pain, I would be in pain too."

At the red light, he stopped the car and looked at me. "So can you imagine how a person who loves you survived in these four years? Mr. Roberts was afraid that you would feel pain if you saw him. So, he forced himself to hold back his feelings. He could only drink and work every day, and desperately put all his energy into work."

"In the first winter of your departure, he was drunk. He laid in the snow of Jarold City for a whole night. He had a fever the next day. He said that it was his happiest moment because he saw you in his dream and you smiled at him."
