My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 108

The design of the villa was simple and elegant. It had a pinch of European style design in it. Once we entered the door, instead of a large common hall, we were greeted with a pathway paved with pebbles. We entered the hall after passing through a small garden.

Although in my high heels, I walked quite smoothly while holding onto Aaron's arms.

As we arrived at the front of the hall, I saw Hendrix standing not far away from me. He was wearing a black suit and a white shirt. His collar snow-white and ironed, his hair short and classic, and his features sharp and bright. He was eye-catching.

He had a strong presence. Even in the crowd, people could single him out at a glance.

I didn't realize until later that it was Valerie's birthday party. Since Hendrix would come, many people I knew in Ucrebury's business and political industry would attend too.

I was Hendrix's wife, but now I was holding onto another man's arm. If I turned up like this, wasn't I bring shame to Hendrix?

I withdrew my hand in an instant as fear and worry spread throughout my heart.

But I underestimated Aaron. He was, after all, someone who was capable of doing unthinkable things. He instantly grabbed my hand, and asked annoyedly, "Arianna, what did I say about

obedience?"

I bit on my lips, and my palms started sweating.

I raised my eyes to look in Hendrix's direction. He had also noticed me. His dark eyes narrowed as he looked at the black off-shoulder gown on me.

After a moment, he turned his eyes to Aaron and said, "Mr. Reid, it's been a while."

They knew each other?

Aaron held me firmly in his hand and gave a faint smile. "Indeed, long time no see, Mr. Roberts."

They were exchanging ordinary greetings. I couldn't hear anything off based on their conversation.

My heart sank. I broke free from Aaron's hand and stepped forward to hold Hendrix, trying to explain, "Hendrix, I..."

"Hendrix!" A woman called, her voice gentle and sweet. I looked over and saw that it was Andrea. She was wearing a long plain-colored dress, which accentuated her hourglass-like figure. She lifted the hem of her dress, gracefully walked to Hendrix, and held his hand naturally.

They were like a match made in heaven.

Andrea was not surprised to see me, her face only slightly darkened, and she said, "I see that Miss Reid is here too."

Her eyes fell on Aaron, who was standing next to me, and then she asked with a vague smile, "Miss Reid, is this your... friend?"

She said the word "friend" in an overly suggestive tone.

I looked down at the tips of my heels and swallowed the words that I originally wanted to say. If I explained things now, I was afraid that I would only make a fool out of myself.
