My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 14

Knowing that he was angry, I whispered to bid goodbye to Monique. Then I walked towards him in a good manner while bowing my head and said, "Thank you!"

He gave me a cold-eyed stare. It seemed that his pair of eyes were deep and unwavering without any emotion. He uttered coldly, "Get into the car!"

I dare not to say a word and got in the car obediently.

After driving for a few whiles, I got a message from Monique that she had arrived home. So I looked out the window to see that we were almost at the villa as well.

Looking at the man beside me, he was as cold as always. I would not dare to speak more if it was not him that start the conversation.

At the villa, he parked the car and then walked to the villa straight away. I followed him and explained to him after giving a second thought, "Hendrix, I thought you were drunk, that's why I gave Doctor Saunders a call. Believe me that I have no other thought."

Despite knowing that it was needless to explain, I still did it. I knew that he would not give a damn even if I explained to him.

He suddenly stopped walking, he turned around and glanced at me. He slightly narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Huh? Do you think Josiah will have a fancy for you?"

The word shut me up. I was speechless for a moment and could say no more.

That's right, not to mention that Josiah was Hendrix's buddy, but I was still Hendrix's nominal wife. Even if he wasn't, Josiah wouldn't necessarily have a fancy for me.

To Hendrix, I was just a speck of dust in the mud, which was petty and low. If it wasn't for Dalton's tender affection for me, I probably wouldn't even have the right to meet Hendrix, not to say marry him.

Seeing that I didn't say a word, Hendrix glanced at me with his cold eyes and he was getting ready to go upstairs.

It was at one o'clock at the midnight. I took a detour around the city before I could get him a supper and I was lucky that it wasn't raining.

However, it began to rain heavily as soon as I came out of The Gallery Lane. There were thunders and flashes of lightning, followed by a heavy downpour.

I drove back all the way. A flood could be seen in tunnels and roads of Ucrebury during the rainy season, so I deliberately detoured the tunnel. Although the distance was long, at least there would not be any flood.

However, it was totally out of my expectation that the car would break down halfway. Due to the detour, I drove slowly, and there was still a long way to go from the villa. Since the area was desolate, and it was raining heavily, so it was impossible to hail a cab at the moment.

I looked at my phone and found that it had run out of power. I had no choice but to give Hendrix a call.

The phone rang several times but no one answered. It was about to shut off, so all I could do was to get an umbrella from the car, and brought the supper along with me to walk back home.
