My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 187

Minnie sighed, "Before you married into the Roberts family, Master Roberts thought that since you're

cheerful and kind- hearted, you might eventually influence Hendrix to become more good-natured. So

even though the two of you are now in such a bad situation, I hope you can face it together!"

I knew that Minnie meant well. I patted her hand and comforted her. "Minnie, the scariest thing about

people is when they try to change another person. I won't do that to Hendrix, and I can't either. Maybe

I'm destined to go through this. Don't you worry! I'll try my best to control my temper in the future. I'll try

to not argue with him."

Her eyes were brimming red, and she shook her head slightly. "You youngsters must cherish the days

you have together. When you're old, you will look back and realize that you didn't try your best to be

with the people you loved. If you give up halfway through, you'll definitely regret it. Well, it's normal to

have regrets in life, but it will be such a shame if it's full of regrets."

I nodded and didn't know what to say. Thinking about it carefully, there wasn't any great barrier

between Hendrix and me. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Most of our issues were trivial, so we couldn't bring them to the table nor explain everything clearly

when they came up. Over time, the issues piled up, and so did the resentments in us. And we couldn't

get rid of them.

"Minnie, thank you!" She could always tell what happened between Hendrix and me. She was acting

out of kindness when she came to say that she wanted us to live a good life.

Seeing that I didn't seem to listen to her words, she exhaled a long breath. "Arianna, you are too

stubborn!"

I couldn't help but chuckle, and I nodded. "Yes, Minnie. You know me the best!"

Minnie knew that she couldn't change my mind in such a short time, but she still tried. She continued

the topic from earlier, "Arianna, I know you think that Mr. Roberts doesn't love you. But all he had asked

for when he came back yesterday was your whereabouts. He thought that you were gone because

you've changed your phone number. He was nervous, and he looked for you. He even wanted to go to

Andoland overnight just for you when he heard that you were there. You must know that he was only

discharged from the ward, and he isn't fully healed yet. He still needed good rest. It was Doctor

Saunders who had prevented Mr. Roberts from going to you because he was worried about Mr.

Roberts' wellbeing. Then this morning, Mr. Roberts went out early just to wait for you."

She paused, probably waiting for my response. To no avail, she heaved a sigh and added, "I know that

Mr. Roberts really cares about you, and you're concerned about him too. But why did neither of you put

some effort into maintaining your relationship?"

"Minnie, are you cooking something downstairs?" I had to interrupt her.

Hearing that, Minnie stopped talking and took a sniff. She then stood up in surprise. "Oh no! The

pumpkin soup I've made for Mr. Roberts!"

As she hollered, she hurriedly left the room and ran down the stairs.

I sat on the chaise longue and stared at the chicken soup Minnie had made, letting my mind drift away.

I wasn't born blessed, and it was the same when it came to love.

I only felt family affection for some years, and I didn't know much about love either. I failed to learn how

to love others as well.

In those few years where Carol adopted me, she taught me to be caring and warm. I regarded it as

love.

Aaron was radical, stubborn, and inexorable. I comprehended him as manic.

I considered Monique's protection and adherence as friendship.

As for Hendrix, he seldom treated me well in the past two years. I really didn't dare to regard those

speckles of kindness that he had given me as love.

I didn't mean to spend my entire life on something unreachable.

I liked Hendrix. Thus, I could tolerate his fickleness and the cold shoulder he showed me. However, it

didn't mean that I was foolish enough to see his bare kindness as love.
