My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 199

Hendrix replied before I could say anything. "She's busy!"

On the other end of the line, Monique fell into silence. After a short while, she finally found her voice

and said, "I asked them to put it at the doorstep. It shouldn't be too far away."

"I'm on top of her now. Do you still think she can go to the front door?" He asked through his gritted

teeth.

I was flustered.

Apparently, Monique felt the same too. The other end of the phone was silent for quite a long while,

then it turned into a busy tone. She probably didn't know what to say either, so she hung up directly.

Hendrix switched off the phone and stared at me with a sullen face, not saying a word.

I knew he was angry, but that was all I knew.

After hitting the home run, I was almost drained empty of energy. It really didn't feel comfortable being

forced into doing it.

Half-closing his eyes, Hendrix circled me in his arms. He was motionless. "You should get

up and take a shower."

"I don't want to move."

I was tired and in pain. I really didn't want to move.

Perhaps because he was satisfied, he had calmed down a lot. Hendrix gave a peck on the corner of my

lips and said a sentence seemingly innocent, "You have to exercise more in the future."

I closed my eyes and didn't have the strength to respond to him.

I didn't want to take a shower, but my body was sticky from the sweat. It was uncomfortable.

Therefore, I got up and headed into the bathroom after lying in his embrace for a while. I gasped in pain

when the warm water hit my body and irritated the swelling part. After a quick shower, I laid on the bed

and closed my eyes to take a nap.

Maybe it was because I just had a vigorous activity, I was very sleepy. When Hendrix came out of the

bathroom, I was already almost asleep.

I vaguely knew that he went out after he hugged me for some more time.

When I woke up, it was already dark outside, and I felt unrested even after the nap. It looked like it

wasn't good for me to sleep during the day.

I got up after lying on the bed for some time.

Hendrix seemed to be making a call in the study room. On the first floor, Minnie had been keeping food

warm for me. When she saw me walking down the stairs, she went into the kitchen in a hurry to serve

them to the table.

I didn't have much appetite. So, I only had a few mouthfuls before I stopped.

It was raining cats and dogs outside. The doorbell rang, but Minnie was busy in the kitchen. So, I got

up to open the door to see Chloe standing in front of me.

She was in her twenties, full of youth and energy. She was already in her prime, so she was naturally

pretty even without dressing up.

Moreover, she had great fashion sense. She was wearing a simple chiffon green blouse with black

wide- legged long pants, and a simple necklace on her snow-white neck. She put her long hair up into

a bun, making her look charming but not flirtatious, youthful yet graceful.

"Hello, Miss Reid. I'm here to deliver some documents to Mr. Roberts. It's urgent," She closed the

umbrella and looked behind me into the villa.

Obviously, she was looking for Hendrix.

I nodded and stepped to the side while saying, "Come in."

It was still raining. I couldn't help but frown. Hendrix would never ask a girl to deliver documents to the

house on such a rainy day.

When Hendrix came out of the study room and saw Chloe, he frowned, too. "Why are you here?

Where's Evan?"

Chloe smiled sweetly, and she still had some girly charm, "Evan's girlfriend is sick. He's busy taking

care of her for the moment, so he has sent me to deliver the documents." Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

As she spoke, she handed the document to Hendrix.

Minnie poured some water and handed the glass to Chloe. Then, Minnie looked at Hendrix and said,

"Master Hendrix, Madam Arianna didn't eat much just now, and she doesn't seem to have much

appetite. I remember that she likes the pumpkin soup you made the most. Maybe you should cook

some for her later."

I was stunned upon hearing this. It was obvious that these words were meant for Chloe but not

Hendrix.

Chloe's expression changed a few times, but she quickly returned to normal.

Minnie had worried too much. Although I couldn't say that I knew Hendrix very well for the past two

years, at least I had some understanding of him.

He wouldn't let Andrea go because he felt responsible and affection for her.
