My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 266

"You wouldn't have such concerns anymore if you just leave Hendrix," Aaron casually replied to me.

I was utterly mad. It was futile to talk sense into Aaron at all. I suppressed the annoyance in me and

said, giving up at communicating effectively with him, "Fine! Just do whatever you want."

Then, I walked past him and went back to the villa.

I walked on the cobblestone path to the front door of the villa, where a muffin was thrown on the

ground. Hendrix had taken a bite of it, and it seemed to be abandoned because it didn't taste good.

Hendrix was really immature to do such an act.

After taking a few steps, I caught a glimpse of a silver line in the muffin. I was surprised, and I went

over to pick it up from the trash.

Pulling the edge, I drew out a silver flying fish necklace from its inside.

"You rummaged through the trash just for an object worth probably only a hundred dollars?" Hendrix's

tone was icy cold.

I ignored him and went straight ahead to wipe the cream off the necklace with tissue papers. The

necklace indeed didn't cost much, but it wasn't worthless.

I bought it when I was around fourteen years old-in the eighth grade. At that age, the girls had already

developed an appreciation for beauty. So, many of my female classmates liked to put on accessories

on their hands or necks just like the adults.

The accessories weren't actually that expensive. It was generally a little more than a dozen dollars, at

most a few tens. But, for me at that time, a dozen dollars was considered a large sum of money.

However, even if I liked to wear these accessories, I wouldn't ask for money from Carol to buy them. I

would help the worker at the school's cafeteria to tidy things up after school, and I would get

approximately five dollars everytime I went.

I worked for around one month, only stopping because I injured my leg later, and Carol almost found

out about it. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

I managed to save up about two hundred dollars within a month. I spent over a hundred to buy myself

this pure silver necklace, and I used the remaining money to buy a belt for Aaron, and a ring used

during clothes making for Carol.

Unfortunately, I lost the necklace after only wearing it a few times. It was the first time I had worn

something valuable, and I lost it only after a few days.

As a result, I had always felt that I wasn't cut out to wear expensive accessories. Even after marrying

Hendrix, I still didn't really wear necklaces and rings unless it was necessary.

I really didn't think that I could still find the necklace after so many years. My glee was beyond words.

Then, I entered the villa, and I couldn't help but think what else Aaron might return to me other than the

necklace.

At that, I turned and looked at Hendrix, who had a long face, and asked with bright eyes, "Where's the

rest of the desserts?"

He frowned. He was visibly unhappy, "In the trash!"

I ignored his displeasure and went to look through all the trash bins in the villa.

I finally found the rest of the box in the trash bin in the kitchen, and I crouched down, ready to start

digging for more possible little things from my past.

Hendrix grabbed my wrist and asked, "Why do you care so much about his gift?"

I swung his hand away, not giving any explanation because it was too troublesome.

I only said, "It's not what you think."

I rummaged through the trash bin, took out the box, and opened it. As expected, there was a well- kept

belt. I continued to rifle through the rest of the gift box. Since he sent the necklace and belt, the ring

that I had given to Carol should also be there.

I even flipped the box insides out, but it was to no avail. I found nothing.

I got up, wanting to go back to the muffin that was left at the door. At this moment, Hendrix shoved and

pinned me down onto the sofa brusquely. He growled, "Arianna, that's enough!"

I frowned and said a little irritably, "Hendrix, you go about your day. I don't have the time to quarrel with

you now!"
