My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 1229

He pulled me into an embrace and said softly, "What's there to be unhappy about? Tell me."

I didn't intend to hide the matter about Sonia's mother from him. I looked at him and said, "I just transferred 200,000 dollars for Sonia's daughter to treat her illness. Will you scold me for being dumb?"

A smile tugged at his lips. "Why would I scold you? I couldn't even praise you enough. I know that my wife is kind and soft-hearted. Problems that can be solved with money are not a problem. You buying peace of mind with 200,000 dollars is not bad!"

I leaned into his chest; my hands wrapped around his waist. "Thank you, Hendrix!" Sometimes, I felt extremely lucky. It was truly a great blessing to be able to meet Hendrix in my life.

I wasn't an excellent person. It could be luck, or fate, that made him fall in love with me. I was the lucky one either way.

Thinking of what happened in the casino, I couldn't help but ask, "Wasn't Kaleb in Asherton? Why is he in Oakland? That night in the casino, was he going to sign a contract with you?"

He looked at me and smiled. "When did my wife become so smart?"

I looked at him, waiting for his answer.

"Master Hayes had given me the open zone and the import-export trade area of Oakland. Kaleb couldn't live in Myanway any longer. The country is too strict, and he can't do anything about it, so he has to come to Oakland to look for a way out. Master Hayes and his father were comrades. Master Hayes wanted to help his old friend out, so he asked me to deliver it to him. However, in the end, Master Hayes chose me."

That was why Tobias couldn't make up his mind. At that time, he wasn't really on Hendrix's side. Instead, he was observing Hendrix. If I hadn't revealed my father's identity, Tobias probably wouldn't have made up his mind to help Hendrix.
