My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

"No, he would really kill himself and die together with us..." I told Hendrix worriedly as I believe my judgment. There was no way a frantic person could behave rationally.

Jordan smiled at us and looked confident as if he was admiring a farce.

This made my heart quiver, and I tried my best to pull Hendrix out the door.

In the end, Hendrix gave in to me. We evacuated to a place near the villa and only stopped until we reached about a hundred meters away.

I heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that we were safe. Looking at the villa in the dark, I patted my chest in fear and said to Hendrix, "You were too impulsive just now. Does it matter even if you knew that Jordan was just trying to frighten me? You should know better how much he loathes you. Have you ever thought about what would happen to me and Wynn if any mishaps occurred?"

Hendrix stared at me for a long time and did not refute my concerns. He stretched out his hands and embraced me.

"Everything is all right. There would be no more mishaps."

I didn't resist and returned his tight embrace.

We only let go of each other when the police arrived. Quietly, we followed them into the villa.

When we entered, Jordan was no longer there. No flammables and explosives were discovered near the villa after a thorough investigation. Jordan's threat was just a hoax.

I asked Hendrix, "How did you know that Jordan was just trying to frighten me?"

Hendrix looked at me and smiled. "All the credit goes to you."

"My credit?" I pointed to myself. Hendrix didn't explain further.

Finally, there was no need to avoid suspicion. I had no intention of guessing Jordan's thoughts. Hence, I brushed it off and changed the subject. "Since the police are already at the scene, why didn't you wait a little longer and have Jordan arrested?"

"Stanley and his men left early. Therefore, it was unnecessary. They can only be lured by Jordan," Hendrix answered in a relaxed tone. He smiled and added, "I wouldn't want to do it even if they were there as do not want to put your life at risk."

Hendrix's worries were predictable. I think this might have been the best arrangement.

Hendrix had collected almost enough evidence of

Jordan's crime. He couldn't escape for long as his identity had been exposed.

Hendrix drove us to Aaron's house. He felt that the villa was unsafe even though it was patrolled by the police.

He lived in Charles' former

courtyard. He did not have to worry

about Stanley and his men coming over as the security there was very strict. The troops were also

stationed nearby.

I was frightened by a thunderous voice as soon as I entered the door. "Madam!"

Only then did I realize that it was Evan!

He didn't die!

"Evan!" I exclaimed. "You are still alive! You didn't die!"

After Evan got Hendrix's confirmation, he embraced me.

"Thanks, Evan," I uttered gratefully.

Evan didn't know how to reply and smiled.

As soon as I finished speaking, Aurelia and Wynn ran down the stairs and hugged me. "Mommy..."

"Mom!"

"I missed you a lot..."

"I also missed Daddy!"

"I missed you too!" I said.

I was so happy that even my tears tasted sweet.
