My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 457

"You can choose not to believe me, but whatever it is, the quality of your daughter's life is in your hands."

He pursed his lips and held his head with both hands, entangling his fingers into his hair and pulling on it. It seemed that he was thinking, or struggling to make a decision.

After a long time, he looked up at me and said, "Okay, but I'll need your word!"

I nodded. "Fine with me!"

He hummed and was silent for a long time before saying, "Ucrebury, Century Garden Residence. Look for my wife and tell her what happened to me. Ask that she brings the things I gave her and to come see me here."

I nodded. "Any other messages you want me to pass on to her?"

He shook his head and said no more.

After I left the prison, I looked up at the dark sky of Jarold City. It had been about a month since the sun in Ucrebury emerged from the horizon.

The sky was always full of smog, and from time to time, rain would drizzle or snow would fall. The weather was quite frustratingly unpredictable.

However, spring would come soon after the new year.

I raised my hand and glanced at the time. I was right on time. I went straight to the restaurant that Charles had mentioned.

When I arrived, only Aaron was there. He stopped his car and saw that I had also arrived. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "You're here early."

I shrugged. "As are you."

He smiled and said, "Uncle Charles asked me to order the food in advance. Master Miller will be here in a moment. Remember to welcome him properly, you can't be rude." Interesting.

I went upstairs with him. After taking care of some things, we went straight into the private room.

The room had vintage interior designs. When we walked in, a large filigreed screen welcomed us which gave the room an air of elegance and nobility.

Noticing that I was staring at the screen, Aaron said with a smile, "This restaurant is famous for its one of a kind decoration."

I nodded. That was certainly true. I found a seat and sat down. I guess I looked rather disinterested because Aaron suddenly asked, "What happened with Michael?"
