My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1403

Seeing his serious demeanor, I instantly felt more guilty. I lowered my head and intertwined my hands together, feeling a little at loss. I didn't intend to hide anything about Sebastian from Hendrix, it was just that I knew he was too wary of Sebastian. If I told him, he would definitely be furious.

Thinking of this, I became more and more determined not to tell Hendrix about the business card that Sebastian gave me. I looked at him and said, "Hendrix, it's really my father. It's also because of this matter that I called you to stop him at that time. I really didn't want him to get involved in any trouble because of me. So, I came to Asherton to ask him for more information. You also knew it when I decided to come without telling you. You even got angry at me for this! Have you forgotten?"

He suddenly sneered, and his cold stare penetrating through my skin, "You've gone to so much trouble just to make up an elaborate lie. How can I not believe you?"

After saying that, he went straight into the bathroom, and then the sound of flowing water came. He was really angry, or rather, he was

furious.

I was not sure if he knew about Sebastian's involvement, so I was feeling a little uneasy. I originally planned to wait for him to come out. If he was really angry, I would come clean with him. However, I didn't expect that after a day and a night of traveling, I would fall asleep after sitting on the bed almost immediately.

When I woke up the next day, I couldn't find him. Pedro had sent me a message informing me that they were about to board the plane to Asherton. After washing up, I went to Abby’s bedroom and saw that she was already up. She was sitting on her bed obediently, as if she had been waiting for me.

The more sensible she behaved, the more I felt guilty. Seeing her worn and thin clothes, I took her to wash up, and then drove her to the mall. It would take at least four hours to get from Jarold City to Asherton. So, I still had time to buy Abby some new clothes before Pedro and Valerie arrived.

She seemed a little excited, probably because this was her first time visiting a shopping mall. However, she held my hand timidly, refusing to let go. I bought a few sets of clothes for her. She put them on and looked at me bashfully, "Madam Reid, are you going to deduct the money for these clothes from the payment you gave my parents? If so, I don't need so many clothes, I want my parents to keep more of the money."
