Chapter 490 Everyone must weigh the pros and cons before doing anything. Even Derrick was no
exception to this. Since he was the family‘s patriarch, he couldn‘t act as he pleased and still had to
listen to the opinions of the other family members. Arianna assumed that all families would be that way
and was surprised to discover that there were exceptions.
From what she heard, it was as if no one dared to stop Alexander or give their opinions when he
decided to do something. It was as if he could freely follow his own desires. Was this not something
that Arianna yearned for?
Was there really such a person in this world?”
“Arianna? Arianna?” Brittany called a few times before Arianna snapped out of her thoughts. Once
Brittany realized Arianna was present, Brittany asked, “What were you thinking about?”
“Oh, nothing.” Ariana shook her head and asked, “You‘re saying there‘s no way for you to be with him
unless he wants to?”
“Yeah! Otherwise, why would I be so bothered?” Brittany was exasperated as she pouted and fidgeted
with her fingers.
Alas, even Arianna couldn‘t come up with ideas and could only try her best to comfort Brittany. “Then,
tell me, what did you get for everything you did?” “I‘ve gotten a lot of things, like bags, clothes, and
jewelry. However, they‘re all souvenirs or birthday gifts. Although the things he gave me were quite
expensive, it‘s not something I‘d use. I—”
“That‘s not what I‘m asking! Why would I care about that?” Arianna interrupted.
“I’m asking how many times you‘ve kissed and hugged him. Have you two ever... done the deed?”
Arianna whispered, bringing her hand to her face.
Hearing this, Brittany‘s eyes immediately widened as blood rushed to her face. Then, she quickly
smacked Arianna on the arms twice. “What are you talking about?! H–How could you say such a
thing?!”
In Brittany‘s eyes, Arianna was a beautiful lady that was usually soft–spoken and reserved. Brittany did
not expect her to say such a thing
“I‘m just giving you ideas. How dare you hit me!” Arianna shook her head. “Don‘t tell me the two of you
haven‘t even held hands!”
From Brittany‘s reaction, Arianna instantly knew the answer. However, she was also a little surprised by
this. ‘Aren‘t they childhood sweethearts? After so many years, has he not made a move on Brittany,
who was beautiful and so happened to be throwing herself at him? Do men like this still exist?‘
“O–Of course I‘ve held his hand,” Brittany said as she blushed. It was years ago when they crossed the
street, and she took the initiative to lean over and grab his hand from behind.
Maybe it was because Alexander was too focused on crossing the road, or he was afraid that it was
dangerous to shrug her away, but he held onto her until the two of them crossed safely. Brittany was on
cloud nine for days.
