My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 851

I didn't bicker with Hendrix. Instead, I smiled and said, "How are you today? Is it raining in Jarold City?"

It was the rainy season, which was a good thing as it was an excellent season for planting crops in Ucrebury.

He hummed in assent and asked in a deep voice, "How was the auction?"

After thinking for a moment, I replied, "I saw the box. It's exactly the same as the one my grandmother gave me."

"Why didn't you bid for it?" he asked lightly.

I was stunned for a moment. I wanted to ask him how he found out that I didn't bid for it, but I suddenly remembered that Evan must have told him.

I paused for a while before saying, "The price was too high. I felt that it wasn't worth it."

He said, "It's worth the money if you like it. What's more, it holds a special meaning for you."

Knowing that he was wealthy, I didn't refute him and just said, "A man called Elmore Balton bought it. I asked Evan to leave him a message. After I settle everything here, I would like to contact him to open the box."

He answered by saying, "Alright. When are you heading out tomorrow?"

"I may have to go out earlier because the cemetery is somewhat far away."

"Alright, I'll wait for your return."

I smiled faintly and felt as if he was a child. After hanging up on the call, I also went to bed early.

The next day.

We got up relatively early because we were going to the cemetery. Anne was half-asleep. When we got in the car, she continued to sleep, slumping on me.

Evan was the one who drove, and his eyes were a little puffy. It was probably because he had to wake up early, and he hadn't slept well the night before.
