My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1771

"What were you and Hendrix doing at the patio together during the banquet?" I asked and immediately changed the topic.

He said, "Nothing. We were just putting on a show. You're Hendrix's children's mother, and Uncle Charles' only daughter. The Forbes family tried to bring you down, so a resignation definitely wasn't enough."

It seemed that the unconscious man who was carried away was the one who tried to spill wine on me.

Aaron and Hendrix's intentions were simple and clear. They wanted to show the Forbes family that I would not be allowed any humiliation, even if Hendrix and I were divorced.

In fact, I had made a successful comeback without their help. However, Serene's men were too reckless, ending up offending Hendrix. They got themselves into huge trouble without me making any further moves.

Although Aaron uttered his words so casually, I could not forget the scene I witnessed in the corridor. He was alone with Hendrix, and they put themselves in such a dangerous situation as they confronted more than ten men. Even if they got their desired result at the end, it was a really risky situation.

In this world, no one should gamble their lives for the sake of others.

"I know that you did that for my sake, but you should just let me deal with it by myself in the future. Both you and Hendrix have your own lives. You can't shelter me for a lifetime, and the both of you should think for yourselves, for your own sakes," I objected.

Aaron's facial expression stayed as it was while he retorted, "Why can't I do that for my whole life? Half of my lifespan has already gone!"

I added weakly, "You know that's not what I meant. What are you going to do about Emma? I don't know if you're testing if she would leave you or if you're doing this for another purpose, but don't you think it's time to stop?"

Once I mentioned this, Aaron's smile froze and gradually vanished. He hung his head, a frown written all over his face as he kept quiet.

"Aaron," I coaxed. Seeing him act like this, I started to feel a little sad for him. "Emma isn't Yana. She has never thought of leaving you. Why is it that you don't dare to admit that you love her? Don't you remember when you told me about Yana, about your heart-wrenching pain? Yana is a good person, but she didn't think about spending her life with you. Emma has a few little flaws, but she loves you, and she's determined to be your wife till death do you both apart. Don't you think that this is unfair to her?"
