My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1043

He pursed his lips. He spoke softly, his voice husky. "She has been throwing tantrums, wanting to see you. After all, she is still a child. She misses you. Being apart from her mother for so long must be difficult!"

I didn't say anything. I lowered my head and felt a little guilty. I absentmindedly fidgeted. I paused and asked, "When will she be here?"

It was almost September, and the semester was about to start. Even if she came over, she would not be able to stay for a few days before she had to return to school.

Hendrix looked at me with a sideways glance, his gaze dark. "You're not planning to return to Jarold City to see her?"

I bit my lip, "The Milton Group project may take a month to be completed. My sickness has delayed tasks. I am afraid going back to Jarold City will set the project even more!"

He frowned and didn't say anything.

The awkward topic seemed to have come to an end.

Fortunately, my fever did not cause any lasting harm. Shortly after, I was discharged from the hospital.

I originally wanted to go to Lancille Village to continue working, but Sebastian ordered me to stay in his villa for a few days and asked Linda to go in my stead.

But I felt uneasy. After all, it was my job and I had the responsibility to see it through to completion.

To keep me occupied, Sebastian brought over all the relevant documents and asked me to sort them out.

When Naomi arrived, I was still sorting through the pile of documents in the study room.

She stood outside in the yard and shouted, "Arianna, open the door. Didn't you hear me?"

Her voice was so loud that it sounded like a trumpet. People who didn't know her would think that she was here to quarrel.

I ran to the balcony and saw her standing next to her black Cayenne. She said with her hands on her hips, "Arianna, come down and open the door for me!"

I found it funny. I leaned against the balcony and said, "You're here to fight?"

She snorted and took a suitcase out from the trunk. She grinned at me and said, "I'm here to spoil you!"
