My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 278

I bit my lips and returned the documents to Hendrix. "I don't need these. Grandpa gave a lot to me, and I also saved up a lot of money over the years I worked in the Roberts Group. Besides, I don't spend much. You can take them back."

Hendrix had basically got everything arranged in my daily life. Plus, I didn't shop often. So, I didn't need to spend much.

Seeing that I refused to accept the documents, he frowned. "Why didn't you want to spend my money? Or are you simply just unwilling to spend the money I gave you?"

I was lost at words. There was no difference between the two options that he had given.

I looked at him and said, "Neither. I don't need so much money. And I figure that you need the money more since you're planning to expand the company. You can do more with these instead of putting them in my possession."

Hendrix still wasn't satisfied with the rejection. He frowned, and he was about to say something when his cell phone rang.

I got up from him while he picked up the call.

It was from Josiah.

"Josiah, what's the matter?"

I didn't want to eavesdrop. So, I put the file of documents back in the drawer and headed out of the study.

After a while, Hendrix left the villa in a hurry. He must have something to do.

Since Heather and Minnie didn't allow me to go out, and I had nothing else to do, I could only spend time in the kitchen with them.

When the doorbell rang, Minnie was taking out the muffins from the oven, and Heather's hands were covered in flour.

Since I was the only one who was free, I went to open the door, and I was surprised to see an unexpected guest at the door.

It was Irvin.

"Hello, Mr. Granger," I greeted with a polite smile.

Irvin raised his eyebrows at me, "Aren't you going to invite me in?"

"Of course not! Please, come in," I stepped aside and invited him to the living room.

Minnie and Heather didn't know him, so they simply came out and greeted him before going back to the kitchen.

We sat across from each other in the living

room.
