My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 155

I had forgotten about the box because so many things had happened recently. I tried to recall, but I still couldn't remember where I put it.

"Well, I'll look for it some other day," I said. Since the elderly gave it to me, I shouldn't just brush it off.

Hendrix walked into the living room, took a sip of water, and looked at me. He was always difficult to read, and I didn't feel like figuring out what he was up to either.

I went directly back to the bedroom where I lived previously. I thought I probably left the box somewhere in that room.

I took my belongings and clothes with me when I moved out of that room, so it looked much emptier than before. I started to look in the cabinets.

There was no sight of the box.

Hendrix folded his arms and gazed at me. I then glanced back at him and said, "You should go and wash up first. I'll look around."

He didn't speak. After a while, he said, "Do you know what's in the box that Dalton gave you?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't know. I only recalled that Minnie told me that if we were to divorce, I could hand the box to you if I refused to divorce you. Now that I think about it, perhaps it contains something related to the Roberts Group, and Dalton wanted to use that to threaten you if you dared to divorce me."

He laughed at my remarks, "You're so shallow!"

I wouldn't deny that. After looking around for a while, I still couldn't find it, and it annoyed me. I looked at him and asked, "Dalton passed it to you too. Have you seen it?"

He looked at me and said, "Are you short of cash now?"

I was a little confused, "No."

"Then it's useless to look for that box. He only left behind some cash and valuable items for you in that box. Perhaps he was worried that you'd be broke if you left me," he said.

I frowned and asked, "Did you open the box?"
