My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1818

With that, Milleon got up and walked out before I had a chance to be courteous. His footsteps were swift, as though he was afraid that I would keep him here to get to the bottom of things.

Seeing his comical demeanor, I couldn't help but laugh. This man was becoming very interesting.

After picking Anne up in the afternoon, I immediately told the driver to take us to the Moore Villa.

When we entered, a few servants stood in two rows parallel to each other at the door and addressed us respectfully.

Greetings were exchanged.

I didn't know if I was being too suspicious or not, but I found the atmosphere in the house a little odd. We were just going to have a meal together, but all these servants were standing by, it seemed quite exaggerated.

"You're back," Valerie announced. She had been waiting in the living room for quite some time. The moment we entered the house, she came over to hold Anne and gushed, "Anne, did you miss me?"

"Yes, Grandma! Why haven't you come to visit me for such a long time?" pouted Anne.

"I had work to do. When I get my salary, I'll buy some beautiful clothes for you. Do you want them?" teased Valerie.

"No! I want to work and buy them by myself!" Anne huffed.

"Oh? Naha, my granddaughter is such an ambitious child. Well, I'll be waiting for that day..." said Valerie.

The both of them, the old and the young, were chatting happily. Perhaps it was because they hadn't seen each other for a very long time.

Pedro was sitting on an armchair in the middle of the living room after snuffing out the cigar in his hand. He was making tea at the time. His movements were slow and meticulous. He was in his fifties and his every move exuded the charm of a mature man. It was easy to imagine how romantic he was when he was younger.

I walked over, sat down on the sofa next to him, and greeted him with a faint smile, "Dad."

Pedro nodded gently in acknowledgement and placed one of the cups of tea in front of me. "Have a taste of this year's harvest of green tea."
