My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 52

Hendrix's face, which had been gloomy, instantly darkened even more like storm clouds. He fixed his cold gaze on my face and asked, "Arianna, do you know what you're talking about?"

"I know!" Of course, I knew. I had endured suffering for two years. However, if he didn't love me then, he wouldn't love me now. No matter how kindly he treated me, it still wasn't what I wished for.

He grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the bathroom forcefully. He then placed me on the bed and wrapped a bath towel around me. Subsequently, he crouched in front of me and grabbed my hands tightly. He looked up and subdued the anger in his voice, asking, "Tell me, what happened?"

He was calm. Even if I had pissed him off, he always had a way to remain calm.

I shook my head. My eyes were red and my voice was hoarse as I asked in return, "Hendrix, do you love me?" I didn't know why I was asking this when I already knew the answer, but I still wanted to hear it from him.

His body froze, and his brows furrowed slightly. He looked at me with a deep gaze and replied, "Arianna, love isn't something that can be said easily!"

However, he had told Andrea that he loved her. My heart ached and I almost blurted this out.

"Then, what is love?" I couldn't control my tears and wept pitifully, "Hendrix, I know that you don't love me, do you?"

"Arianna!" His voice was low and restrained as he repeated, "Tell me what happened! Why do you suddenly want a divorce?"

"I don't love you, I really don't!" My eyes reddened further and the pain in my heart spread throughout my whole body. I said, "I don't love you as much as I imagined. I'm still young, and I have countless opportunities to replace my true soulmate. So, let's get a divorce and set each other free, okay?"

Ever since I had met Hendrix, I had never thought that there would be a day when I would take the initiative to leave him voluntarily.

I had thought that as long as I tried hard enough and gave him my love, my body, and my soul, he would notice it. I had once imagined that one day, he would turn around to replace me and finally tell me that he loved me.

Nonetheless, there were too many uncertainties in life. I had let it slip my mind that my efforts could allow me to obtain much in life, anything but love.

It was already a blessing from God for someone to meet another who loved them back. Most people would never have the chance to experience a romance like that!

The atmosphere in the room became freezing and the daunting silence inundated the two of us. I lowered my head and did not look at him.

After a long time, he took a deep breath and muttered, "You should rest. Let's talk when you've calmed down."

He didn't say too much. Soon after, he got up and left the bedroom.

Hendrix left the villa that night, and I stayed up all night.

Even so, when the sun rose again, we still had to wake up and continue life as usual.

Due to my poor sleep the night before, I came to work with bags under my eyes. Kelsey saw that my face was sallow which reflected my poor condition. She was concerned and asked, "Miss Reid, did you stay up last night to study the data? The company's audit isn't that hard, you don't have to be so pressured. You've just barely recovered, so please take care of yourself!"

I nodded and felt a little light-headed. After looking through Roberts Group's finances, I examined the Shelley Group's finances carefully as well.

Noticing my constant yawning, Kelsey served me a cup of coffee and said, "By the way, Miss Reid, should the company hand over the specifics to Alford Audit or Brilliant Audit?"
