My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 367

I pursed my lips and pushed Hendrix away. "It's hot. Get away from me!"

What was he sorry for?

I wanted to know but I didn't ask. I stared at the ceiling. My heart felt a little empty.

I did hate Hendrix the time when something happened to our child. I was bitter at him for failing to protect me, bitter at him for not being by my side when things happened.

Thinking back, I might have been selfish for not thinking things from his end.

"I won't do it again." He said, his voice was a little hoarse.

I pursed my lips and looked at him in a casual manner. "Hendrix, do you love me?"

This question was pointless but I still wanted to know.

He looked at me sideways and said after a long time. "I won't ever divorce you, you'll be my wife forever."

What kind of answer was that?

I pursed my lips and said indifferently, "Okay!"

It felt like he didn't even answer my question.

Noticing that my lips were pursed and I was silent, Hendrix held my shoulder and asked, "Are you angry?"

I shook my head. I was a little sleepy.

I closed my eyes sleepily. Maybe it was because I was relieved that I slept soundly that day.

The agreement with Fantasia was set and things would fall into place within 3 days' time.

The next morning, Hendrix got up early for work. I laid in bed and narrowed my eyes at him. "Do you only wear such monotone clothes ever since you were young?"

He took a tie out from the closet. Instead of answering my question, he looked at me and said, "Come and fix my necktie for me."

I shook my head and said, "I don't know how." I really didn't know how. Before Hendrix, I had not been in a relationship with any other men. He was my first. Plus, I had never learnt to tie a necktie before. He frowned and said, "I'll teach you."

Hendrix really did know how to get things his way.

I sat up straight. I looked at him and said, "Come over." It was still early, and I didn't want to leave the bed as I had no other plans for the day.

He rubbed his forehead and walked to the bed. He lowered his body and looked at me. "Arianna, why are you so lazy?"

I raised my eyebrows. "If I'm lazy then what does that make you?"

Hendrix...

I tied the necktie for him as I usually did for my scarf. Surprisingly, I succeeded at my first attempt.

Noting that, he raised his eyebrows. "And you said you didn't know how to tie a necktie?"

I pursed my lips and said, "If I said that I can learn things fast without any guidance, will you believe me?" At first, I thought it would be difficult, but it turned out to be easy.

It had definitely surprised me.

He smirked and lifted his hand to stroke my nose. "Let's hope that you would know everything without guidance."

I...

After Hendrix went out, I planned to lie and laze around on the bed longer but my phone rang.

I looked over and saw an unknown number. I declined the call but the same number called back.

A man's voice sounded through the phone. "I'm just outside your house!"

I was surprised. I asked, "Aaron?"

He snorted and said, "Why? What's wrong? Are you not willing to meet me?"

"No!" I was a little confused. "I am in Ucrebury, not in Jarold City. You..."

"Cut the crap!" He lost his temper. "I'm downstairs at your Flora Hill. Are you coming down or not?"

I was caught by surprise at his temper. Why was Aaron so angry?

I changed my clothes and headed down. I saw that the caretaker had prepared breakfast and asked that she pack two portions for me.

At the door was a black Bugatti. It was hard for me to pretend as if I had never seen the car. The window was rolled down.

Aaron scowled at me and said, "Get in!"

There was a faint, sweet fragrance filling up the car. It was sprayed to cover up the faint underlying tobacco smell in the air. Aaron looked at me with a tired face and asked, "Why did you block my number?"

I was stunned and said hesitantly, "What?" Since when had I done that?
