My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 284

I headed straight to the door, and I pulled it open only to see Austin standing at the door. His hand was

raised, seeming like he was about to knock on the door. He looked a little embarrassed, even.

It seemed that he had heard a little about what Hendrix and I had argued a moment ago.

"Arianna," Austin suddenly said. I was confused for a second there, for he wasn't usually this nice to

me.

"Mr. Shelley, you shouldn't be so to with me. I just made your Andrea leave Hendrix's office in tears,"

After I said this, I went past him and left the office.

Hendrix quickly caught up to me in a few steps and pulled me by my arm. He hissed, "Arianna, where All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

do you think you're going?"

"It's none of your business!" I wanted to prise myself free from his grip. But he was strong, and he

pulled me back into the office. While he seated me down on the couch, he looked at Austin and asked,

"Yes?"

Austin looked at the state Hendrix and me were in, and he answered, seemingly a little

awkward, "Since we've sealed the deal with the company in Western Europe, Josiah and I are going to

celebrate with Josiah tonight. Are you coming?"

Hendrix took a glimpse at me, and he turned back to Austin with lifted eyebrows, "Do you think I can

go?"

Austin was lost at words. After some time, he drew a deep breath and said, "Arianna can come with us.

She doesn't have to drink."

"Do you want to go?" With his arm still draping around me, Hendrix asked me.

"Is Andrea going?" I ignored Hendrix's eyes and asked Austin instead. I needed to know that to make a

decision.

Austin was perplexed, but he eventually nodded and answered hesitantly, "Yes."

At that, I nodded, "Then I'll come."

Austin looked at me and then at Hendrix. Seeing that Hendrix wasn't saying anything, Austin left

without saying anything else.

When the door was closed, Hendrix pulled me into his arm and asked, "What are you up to this time?"

Amused, I asked in response, "What can I do? The Moore family is so powerful in Jarold City. I can't

possibly do anything to Andrea. I'm just going to keep an eye on my husband.

Or did you not want me to go?"

Hendrix shook his head and weakly replied, "It's your due date soon. It's not safe for you to be running

around town!"

"Doctor Saunders is going too, isn't he?"

"Josiah is busy. I don't think he would have the time to look after you," he said, making me feel as

though I was a burden.

"Well then. I won't go," At this point, I would be begging if I insisted on going.

Hendrix got the answer he wanted, so he didn't press on the matter anymore.

Instead, he looked at me and asked, "What would you like to eat for dinner?"

Being asked so spontaneously, I couldn't think of anything I liked. I spent some time thinking, and I

finally answered, "German pork knuckle?" It was known that a pregnant woman would have a change

in her appetite. In the past, I rarely wanted to eat German traditional food because it was too big of a

portion and I couldn't finish it on my own. However, nowadays, I would feel as though something was

missing if I hadn't had German cuisine in a long time.

Hendrix frowned and said, "Other than that?" It seemed like he didn't like my suggestion.

"Why?" I asked, a little irritated at his behavior. "You asked me what I wanted to eat, but you didn't like

my answer. What do you want me to do?"

His brows were tightly furrowed. "The German restaurants here in Jarold City are always full of people,

and they drink beers. It's not safe for you."

"If you want to be safe, let's just never eat anything!" Hendrix was beginning to get on my nerves. "Of

course, the sophisticated and civilized Mr. Hendrix Roberts wouldn't like having beer and meat at

crowded restaurants. You prefer eating at a five-star French restaurant with elegant women like

Andrea, enjoying the music and romantic moments, didn't you? I know, I know. The noisy and crowded

environment isn't worthy for a man like you."

I was too worked up, and I just spoke without thinking.

Hendrix pressed his lips into a thin line, and he asked, "Arianna, can't you be more gentle and loving as

a normal lady would be? Why are you always so cynical?"

"Andrea is gentle and loving," I laughed wryly. "Why don't you go look for her? So you wouldn't need to

spend time with someone as unlikable as me!"

The sun was setting, and I began to feel the hunger. So, I didn't want to fight with him on this matter

anymore. I got up and looked at him without much emotion, and I said, "It's fine if you don't like German

food. I can go alone. If you're afraid that something might happen to your child, you can wait for me

outside the restaurant and send me home when I'm done." With that, I walked out of the office.
