My Pretty Sweetheart novel 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.

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.
