My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 160

Hendrix stared straight at me, and I tried to explain to cover my embarrassment, "I was just curious. How about you help me ask him instead?"

"Did you?" Hendrix asked Josiah.

Josiah almost fell off his seat. He looked at us in disbelief, "Couples indeed act alike! You two, leave, now."

As I knew I wouldn't get anything out from Josiah, I stopped harassing him.

On the other hand, Hendrix held onto my arm and pulled me out of Josiah's office. It seemed like he went to Josiah's office wanting to meet me. I followed closely behind him, wondering how he might react to what happened just then.

Hendrix didn't say anything even when we got in the car. He seemed mad at me, but at the same time, he didn't look mad.

I couldn't figure him out, so I asked instead, "Have you eaten anything?" It was just in time for dinner.

He didn't reply to me. Following that was a long silence.

Fifteen minutes later, he pulled up at a restaurant's parking lot. He then got out of the car, and I trotted behind him.

After finding a seat, Hendrix finally looked at me and said something, "What do you want to eat?"

"I'm fine with anything," I said. I had the feeling that he might throw a fit later on, even though I wasn't sure what got under his skin this time around.

It didn't take long for the dishes to be served. I wasn't that hungry anyway, so I only took a few bites while looking at him with my chin in hand.

Hendrix was a fast eater. But he seemed to have slowed down a little under my gaze. He looked up, and as our eyes met, he smirked, "Are you planning to eat me?"

"No!" I immediately denied it.

"Then why are you looking at me?" he asked.

I straightened up my posture and said, "I'm not hungry."

He stopped eating and raised his eyebrows at me as he asked, "Is there something bothering you?"

I basically stood there like an ornament while he shopped for baby products, but I didn't complain as the things he bought were all essential.

By the time we were done shopping, it was already late. I got tired and fell asleep not long after getting in the car.

In my dreams, I vaguely noticed that we have already arrived at the villa. Hendrix carried me in his arms while I was half-asleep. I opened my eyes to have a quick look at the surroundings.

"We're home!" he said.

He carried me all the way to the bedroom and put me on the bed. He then went to the bathroom.

I was a light sleeper. Since I was already awake, I couldn't continue sleeping. So, I stared at the ceiling as my thoughts wandered around.

Hendrix quickly came out of the shower. He dried himself, came to lay beside me, and circled his arms around my waist to hold me in his embrace.

Our eyes met, but I was still absent-minded. Hendrix scowled and raised his hand to smoother the hair on my forehead. He asked in a low voice, "Do you want to take a shower?"
