My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 210

Hendrix followed and noticed that I was staring blankly at the table. He hugged me from behind and

said, "The book said that pregnant women should avoid heavy-flavored meals. So, I didn't add much

chili to it. Have a taste?"

I looked up at him, feeling as though I was trapped in a dream where I had exchanged my life with

Andrea.

I had been married to Hendrix for two years but he had never taken care of me so meticulously.

It seemed that he had matched his gentleness for Andrea in the past and treated me the same. It felt Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

surreal, and I wasn't ready to accept that.

He seated me at the table, and I numbly took a few bites. The noodle was delicious, but I had no

appetite as I had a lot going on in my mind.

Seeing that I only had a few bites, Hendrix frowned and asked, "You don't like it?"

I shook my head. "No, I'm just not that hungry."

"Have some more. Otherwise, you'll feel hungry later tonight." As he spoke, he got up and opened the

refrigerator to get me some milk.

Hendrix spent the night with me at the Bronzy Condo.

The next day.

I was half-awake when I sensed movements beside me. I opened my eyes to see that Hendrix was

dressing up.

Seeing that I had woken up, he asked, "Did I wake you up?"

I laid in the bed and shook my head, too lazy to move. I answered in a hoarse voice, "Are you going to

work now?"

He nodded. "Yeah, Evan will bring you breakfast later. It would be best if you rested for a while more

after breakfast. I'll come back and bring you to the hospital for the checkup at noon."

After that, he put on his tie, then kissed me on the forehead and left.

What I had experienced during the past few days was bizarre. Hendrix treated me very well and took

good care of me, but I could feel that he was still distant from me.

During breakfast, Monique called me on the phone and asked if I could pick her up at the airport. She

needed a lift because she brought too many things back from the trip.

I had nothing planned out for the day. So, after asking for the time, I took a taxi to Roberts Group and

got into my car. When I arrived at the airport, Monique's flight hadn't landed yet.

I parked the car in the parking lot and went to wait for Monique in the departure hall.

It wasn't exactly a surprise to see Hendrix at the airport. I sat in the hall, looking at the perfectly

matched couple not far away.

I took out my phone and called Hendrix.

Hendrix picked up the phone, and I asked, "Where are you?"

"At the airport," He answered, then added after a few seconds, "Austin is caught up with some work. So

I'm here to pick Andrea up."

I let out the breath I was holding for no reason. At least Hendrix didn't lie.

"Look ahead!" I said, looking in his direction.

Hendrix did as he was told, and he saw me. He frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to pick Monique up. Her flight will arrive at half- past eleven," Then my eyes shifted to Andrea,

who had noticed me too. I asked, "Should I go over and say hello to Miss

Burton?"

Hendrix seemed to be irritated. "No."

Then he spat out a few more words. "Stay here. I'll be right back!"

After that, he hung up and left the airport lobby with Andrea.

I sat in the hall, still feeling slightly upset. I had to tell myself that it was fine. It was normal for Hendrix

to come to pick Andrea up when Austin was busy with something else.

Hendrix was already having a hard time letting Andrea go. Now he only came to pick her up, so I

shouldn't be petty about it.

Ten minutes later.

Hendrix returned and sat down next to me. He held my hands and explained, "Don't overthink this.

Something cropped up this morning, so Austin isn't able to come."

I nodded and forced a smile, which was a little far-fetched. "It's okay. You don't have to explain."

It wasn't a big deal. I was analyzing too much into it.

Monique was dragging a large suitcase when she showed up at the arrival hall. She was astonished to

see both Hendrix and me together. "Are you here to show off your love?"
