My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 159

It was clear to me that Monique wanted to keep the baby. I knew her too well. We were both lonely souls, and that was why we both appreciated the little angels that God had blessed us with.

Her face brightened up at my words. She shifted closer to me and rested her head on my shoulders. She said, "Arianna, we won't be lonely anymore."

That was true. We would have those little angels to keep us company in the future.

We sat there for a while before I sent Monique back home. I then went to the company.

I went there not because I had unfinished work but because I knew Josiah would spend his weekend in his office. I knocked on his door a few times before he opened the door for me. He looked tired. He was confused upon seeing me, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

"I came to see you," I said as I placed the fast food that I bought for him on his desk, "I knew you haven't eaten, so I bought this along the way."

He frowned, visibly puzzled, then he asked, "You won't visit for no reason. What's the matter?"

I was embarrassed that he found out about my intention. I laughed awkwardly and said, "Do you still remember the time I went to Asherton for a business trip?"

He nodded as he opened the packaging and helped himself to the fast food. He must have been in the office for the whole day. Otherwise, he wouldn't look as if his energy was drained.

I continued, "I asked you to pick Monique up on my behalf. Did you leave right after you dropped her in the hotel?"

I wasn't someone who was well versed in the art of dealing with people. I wanted to trick him into telling me what happened, but instead, what I said was no different than asking him directly.

Josiah stopped eating, and he narrowed his dark eyes at me, "Stop beating around the bush, and get straight to the point."

His response just confirmed my thoughts earlier.

"Did you do it with Monique that night?" I regretted it as soon as I asked the question. I could have phrased it better than that.

He looked at me and cocked his eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

To be honest, it was inappropriate and embarrassing to bring up that topic with a man.

However, I was the one who started the topic, so I couldn't stop.

"Did you sleep with her?" I asked, ignoring the flush on my face.

He wrapped up the packaging, and leaned back against his chair, looking at me without much emotion, "Why don't you tell me why did you ask that?"

I felt like cursing him for being so alert. I wasn't sure if I was doing Monique any good if I had mentioned her pregnancy, so instead, I said, "I think she caught something nasty."

And Josiah spat out a mouthful of water that he had yet to swallow.

I gave him a piece of tissue. After he was done cleaning up, he looked at me and asked, "Seriously?"

"Yup," I nodded. Even though I felt guilty, it was too late to turn things back, so I continued, "So, did you sleep with her?"

With his hand on his forehead, Josiah looked at me and said, "You are four months pregnant. Anything you say or do now would affect the baby's development. I think you should start to behave more decently."

I was dumbstruck.

I wasn't sure if Josiah really meant it or he was trying to shift the topic.

However, he didn't mention anything that happened that night. He only got back to his desk and resumed working.

Judging from his actions, I could tell that they probably did sleep together on that night.

I wanted to say something more, but his office door was pushed open at that moment. I looked in that direction and saw Hendrix walking in.

Josiah looked towards Hendrix and said, "Bring Arianna back with you. She seemed greatly interested in exploring the sexual relationship between two adults. Perhaps you two should discuss further on this topic."

I baffled. I didn't expect Josiah to sell me out like that.

Hendrix approached me, his gaze darkened as he glanced over at Josiah, "What did she ask you?"

Josiah shrugged, a little astonished, "She asked if I slept with Monique."
