My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 589

Anne nodded excitedly, "Of course!"

After a pause, she seemed to remember something. She took Charles' hand and said, "Grandpa, let's go. The grapes Mom grew on the wall has ripened. Let's go and pick them."

The little fellow was a flurry of kiddy emotions. She hastily pulled Charles to the backyard.

Norman looked at me strangely and asked, "You're Charles' daughter?"

How should I tell him?

After thinking for a moment, I began to explain. "Four years ago, he adopted me four years ago, so I guess you can say that I'm his daughter."

He fell into silence for a while and did not continue asking more questions.

It was best to keep a distance from people. Everyone harbored secrets of their own that could not be revealed to others.

Halfway through dinner, a knock sounded at the door.

Anne was quick on her feet. Upon hearing the knock, she immediately jumped out of her seat and ran out. I got up and instinctively followed

behind.

Before I could react, I heard Anne say, "Mommy, there's a bad guy!"

Startled, I went out hurriedly and saw Cecil. She walked in with a haggard face and her eyes were swollen and bloodshot.

When she saw me, she strode towards me. Before I could even get a word out, she grabbed me and knelt before me.

With her hand firmly grabbing onto mine, she said tearfully, "Arianna, I'm the one who provoked you. It has nothing to do with my father. You can torture me any way you want. My father is innocent."

When I heard this, I started to understand what was going on. Charles always worked so swiftly and meticulously. No one really knew how or could figure out his way doing things.

I initially thought that he would wait until tomorrow to conduct the investigation; I did not expect things to be wrapped up so quickly.
