My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 559

"It's a friend who I met on the plane. You don't know her. But don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

After a moment of silence, he said, "Alright. When you go out, remember to text me. Send me the address later and I'll go pick you up."

I agreed and hung up.

Not long after, someone knocked on the hotel door. It was Evan.

He always had a cold face. When he saw me open the door, he stated, "Mrs. Roberts, Mr. Roberts asked me to send you these clothes."

I nodded and took the clothes, "Thank you!"

He nodded and left without saying another word.

I then went back to the hotel room and got myself changed.

Soon, Shirley called me on the phone again. She informed me that she had arrived at the lobby.

I quickly packed up and went downstairs. When I saw a black Bentley parked at the entrance of the hotel, I couldn't help but stare in awe at it.

The car window was rolled down. At the driver's seat, a man with a stone cold face stared at me.

He was like a familiar stranger. Were there two completely different people with the exact same name in the world?

"Arianna!" Shirley was sitting in the front passenger seat. She tilted her head and greeted me, "Get in the car!"

I was dumbfounded for a moment. Then, I came back to my senses and got in the car.

"What were you thinking about just now? You didn't seem to hear me even though I was calling for you." Shirley then introduced the man behind the wheel. "This is my fiance, Irvin Granger. When I was on my way to you, I met up with him as he had just finished his business. So, I came together with him. Do you mind?"

I took a look at him, but I was still in shock. I shook my head slightly and said, "No... I don't mind!"

Looking at the man's handsome side profile, depression sank its melancholic teeth into me for a moment. I didn't know how many questions I had buried in my heart that I was dying to ask. But since Shirley was here, I couldn't say anything.

We arrived at the restaurant.

Shirley seemed to be in a good mood. Holding Irvin's hand, she suggested, "Mr. Granger, please order. I like the dishes that you order."

Irvin agreed dispassionately. Soon, he laid his eyes on me and raised his eyebrows, "Miss Reid, what do you like to eat?"

"Anything is fine!" I replied. As I looked at the person in front of me who I thought had disappeared forever, I was at a loss trying to describe how I felt now that he was very much alive.

When we were eating, Shirley talked a lot, but Irvin had always responded half-heartedly. I wasn't in the mood to eat, so I didn't eat much either.

"Miss Reid, do you not like the food?" The man sitting across me unexpectedly asked in a cold and distant tone.

I was startled. I looked up at him and shook my head, "It's not that, I ate in the hotel just now, so I'm not hungry."

The man lifted his eyebrows and said wantonly, "Miss Reid, you seem to be scared of me?"

I was astounded. I looked up and our eyes met. I shook my head and said, "No, Mr. Granger..."

"Yes, I've also noticed it. Arianna, it seems that after you saw Mr. Granger, you looked rather disturbed. What's wrong?" Shirley asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Would you not be scared if a person who had been turned into ashes suddenly stood in front of you?

Trying to suppress the emotions in my heart, I continued shaking my head and replied, "No, I just feel a little under the weather. You guys carry on, I think I'll go back for now." After I spoke, I got up and prepared to leave.

However, Irvin too had stood up and blocked my way. He stood tall as he looked at Shirley with deep and gloomy eyes. He said, "Sherry, go settle the bill and I'll walk Miss Reid out." With a blank look, Shirley nodded and left obediently.

I curled my lips, looking rather disturbed as Sherry had described. I avoided him and walked straight out of the door. He followed me without saying a word.

Outside the restaurant, I raised my hand to call a taxi. He continued standing next to me without saying a word.

The phone in my pocket rang and I answered it. It was Hendrix, "Where are you? Are you coming back? I'm coming to pick you up."

"Not yet... I'll go back myself, so you don't have to come!" I didn't know what state of mind Hendrix would be in if he saw Irvin, so I had no choice but to lie to him.

On the other end of the phone, he was silent for a while. He then responded reluctantly, "Alright, I'll wait for you at the hotel!"

Hanging up the phone, I set my eyes on the cars at the side of the road. There was only one thought in my mind, which was to go back to the hotel.

"It's not easy taking cabs in Mesville. Do you need me to give you a ride?" The man behind me, who had been silent for a long time, asked indifferently. "No, thank you!"

"Hehl" The man jeered, "I can't believe you didn't ask me anything, Arianna. This is not like you!"
