My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 105

She laughed, looked at the pastry in my hand, and said with a smile, "This is a very exquisite tea that is

20 years old. It can't be bought even with money in the market. It's destined that I can drink such good

tea. I have to thank you, Miss Reid."

I chuckled and still couldn't think of the purpose of Valarie's visit. I took a few sips of tea with her and

after some time, I finally asked, "We've been talking for quite some time. I wonder what you are actually

here for today, Madam Lawson?"

She took a sip of tea and looked at me with her beautiful eyes. She said softly, "Nothing much. It's just

that the last time I saw you at the Pearis Manor, I felt that you looked a little familiar and somehow felt

like I’ve known you from before. Hence I've always wanted to meet you."

I was stunned for a moment. I had originally thought that she was here for me and Sawyer's issue. As a

mother, it was only natural for her to come and talk to me about that. However, I was very surprised

that she came because of such a matter.

After I refilled her tea, I smiled and said, "Mr. Clark said the same thing to me a few days ago. He said

that I seemed a little familiar to him. I think this is quite normal as there are so many people in this

world, some people ought to look similar to one another. I actually look quite similar to Miss Burton you

know too."

I saw her with Andrea at a restaurant before, so I didn't hide anything from her.

She was slightly perplexed, but she replied with a soft smile, "Indeed, Miss Reid, are your parents still

around?"

I shook my head and replied with suspicion, "My parents left when I was very young. I grew up with my

grandma. So, I have no memories of them."

"Is your grandmother still around?" She was asking some excessively particular questions. Perhaps

she realized that it was improper to do so, so she changed her tone and said, "Miss Reid, please don't

get me wrong. I am just a curious person. I tend to ask detailed things."

After that, she took out a refined and luxurious looking invitation card from her bang and handed it to

me. "I am holding a small party in the Pearis Manor tonight. Miss Reid, if you don't mind, you can come

with Mr. Roberts."

I retrieved the invitation and opened it. When I saw that it was a birthday invitation, I remembered that

Sawyer had mentioned to me the night before that his mother was having her birthday party that night.

After putting away the invitation properly, I looked at Valerie and said, "Thank you, Madam Lawson. It's

my honor to be invited."

She couldn't help but laughed. She lowered her eyes, took a sip of tea, and said after a pause, "Miss

Reid, I heard that you and Mr. Roberts have been married for two years. I saw that you went to Pearis

Manor with Mr. Roberts last time. I bet you two must have a good relationship."

I chuckled. I didn't know her well in the first place, so I didn't say much. After a few cups of tea, Valerie

left with the reason that she had something else to do.

When Minnie saw her leave, she asked, "Arianna, she's the fabled richest woman, right?" Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

I was a little surprised. I looked at Minnie and asked, "Do you know her?"

Minnie nodded. "In the past, when Mr. Dalton was still alive, she went to the Roberts Mansion. I've

seen her before," After a pause, Minnie whispered, "She has been looking for her child for so many

years. I'm afraid that she will never find her child."

I was a little curious and could not help but continue to ask, "You knew that she's looking for a child as

well, Minnie?"

"She used to ask Mr. Dalton about what happened 20 years ago whenever she went to meet him. I

overheard their conversation when I served them tea. Mr. Dalton had helped her to look for her child

since then. But the child has been missing for more than 20 years, and they didn't have any significant

characteristics too. It's very difficult to find someone in the vast sea of people!" Minnie replied.

As soon as I put away the tea set, my phone rang. Once I saw the caller ID, I tensed up immediately.

Without saying anything more to Minnie, I got up and went back to my bedroom.

"What do you want?" Back in the bedroom, I picked up the phone. My body was trembling as I held the

phone.
