My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 643

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Sometimes actions speak louder than words. I'll get Evan to contact some people. Anne is almost five, we can send her to self-defense lessons."

I pursed my lips and didn't say a word. What he said was reasonable.

After entering the house, he played with Anne while I cooked. No one mentioned anything about the issue with Sierra.

He didn't look at me until we had finished eating and Anne had fallen asleep. His eyes were deep and dark as he wrapped me in his arms.

His voice was hoarse when he asked, "Where did you go just now?"

I leaned into his arms and let him hold me tightly. After a moment of silence, I said, "I went to the Granger Group to find Irvin."

His body stiffened. He asked in a low voice, "What for?"

"Just to have a chat!" How should I tell him? I couldn't find the words to explain to him at the moment, so I simply chose to avoid it.

He did not pressure me. After a moment of silence, he said, "Next time, no matter where you go, bring your phone along with you and make sure that you're always contactable."

I was stunned for a bit. Then I realized that my phone had run out of battery today, so it shut down after I'd reached the Granger Group.

Looking up at him, I smiled gently and agreed, "Okay!"

He hugged me, looking a little depressed. "I'll handle Sierra's matter, Arianna. No matter what others say to you, you have to remember that I am your husband, the father of your child."

I saw how serious he was, and hesitated before saying, "Actually, I don't care much about what others say. I'm just worried about Anne, she has to go to school. She's very sensitive. If she hears nonsensical gossip in school, it will affect her."

He buried his head in my neck and said with remorse, "This won't happen again in the future."

I nodded. Due to Nerissa's last visit, Hendrix had dismissed the housemaid.

Hence, on normal days, we would have an hourly worker come over to tidy up the place. She was only asked to cook occasionally. Hendrix and I both knew how to cook, so when we had the time we would do it ourselves. The days passed by quite leisurely.

After a slight pause, he said, "You'll need to prepare a bit more. I'm still in a meeting, so Evan will come and help you. Some guests are coming over for dinner tonight."

I was stunned for a moment. "Do I know them?"

He muttered a yes, then smiled and said, "We're all family. Just some simple dishes will be fine."

After we hung up the phone, I was a little confused. Who would come over to have a housewarming dinner with us so soon after we moved?
