My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 105

She laughed, looked at the pastry in my hand, and said with a smile, "This is a very exquisite tea that is 20 years old. It can't be bought even with money in the market. It's destined that I can drink such good tea. I have to thank you, Miss Reid."

I chuckled and still couldn't think of the purpose of Valarie's visit. I took a few sips of tea with her and after some time, I finally asked, "We've been talking for quite some time. I wonder what you are actually here for today, Madam Lawson?"

She took a sip of tea and looked at me with her beautiful eyes. She said softly, "Nothing much. It's just that the last time I saw you at the Pearis Manor, I felt that you looked a little familiar and somehow felt like I’ve known you from before. Hence I've always wanted to meet you."

I was stunned for a moment. I had originally thought that she was here for me and Sawyer's issue. As a mother, it was only natural for her to come and talk to me about that. However, I was very surprised that she came because of such a matter.

After I refilled her tea, I smiled and said, "Mr. Clark said the same thing to me a few days ago. He said that I seemed a little familiar to him. I think this is quite normal as there are so many people in this world, some people ought to look similar to one another. I actually look quite similar to Miss Burton you know too."

I saw her with Andrea at a restaurant before, so I didn't hide anything from her.

She was slightly perplexed, but she replied with a soft smile, "Indeed, Miss Reid, are your parents still around?"

I shook my head and replied with suspicion, "My parents left when I was very young. I grew up with my grandma. So, I have no memories of them."

"Is your grandmother still around?" She was asking some excessively particular questions. Perhaps she realized that it was improper to do so, so she changed her tone and said, "Miss Reid, please don't get me wrong. I am just a curious person. I tend to ask detailed things."

After that, she took out a refined and luxurious looking invitation card from her bang and handed it to me. "I am holding a small party in the Pearis Manor tonight. Miss Reid, if you don't mind, you can come with Mr. Roberts."
