My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 1212

I could hear Pedro's surprise through the line. Then, he asked gently, "Arianna, have you eaten yet? Will you be conning back tonight?"

I smiled and said, "I've just finished cooking. I'll be staying at Hendrix's place tonight. Have you all eaten yet? Is Anne feeling better today?"

"Yes," he replied. "She is okay now. It shouldn't be a big problem since her fever has subsided. Your mom and auntie are making dinner in the kitchen now. We'll have our dinner soon. How are things in the Roberts Group?"

I chatted with him for a while more before hanging up.

I was just about to have dinner after hanging up the phone when Sebastian called. I answered the call. "Hello, Mr. Milton!" I naturally addressed him this way, a habit from work.

Sebastian sighed when he heard this. "We're off the clock now. You can just call me by my name. Naomi told me that you were in Jarold City. Do you have time tomorrow? Let's have dinner together."

I agreed without a second thought when I remembered the promise I made in Europe. "Okay, send me the time and place. I just so happen to be free tomorrow," I said.

He gave me the details and that was it.

After hanging up the phone, Hendrix looked at me with dark bottomless eyes and asked, "Sebastian?"

I nodded. "When I was in Europe, I promised him that I would give him the sandalwood box my grandmother gave me after we got back home safely. He must be curious about that box."

He frowned slightly and said after a moment of silence, "Have you ever thought about why your grandmother has that box?"

I nodded and replied, "Yes, I did. But I can't figure it out."
