My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 197

Sawyer pulled a long face, but he answered honestly, "Not really. It's just that the person I like is pregnant."

"What the f*ck?" I mouthed at him.

I shot daggers at him, thinking that he was certainly trying to add fuel to the fire.

He avoided my gaze and looked at Hendrix with an unruly expression.

Hendrix remained graceful and calm. "It's a pity that this pregnant lady is married and with a child now. You don't stand a chance."

"Not exactly. You can always get a divorce. She's married to the wrong person because it was a decision made when she was young. She'll realize that and get a divorce sooner or later," Sawyer spoke with certainty.

Their conversation was going nowhere, and I couldn't listen to them any longer. I got up and said, "I'm full. You two can take your time."

As I got up and leave the restaurant, I heard Sawyer recklessly gabbled behind me, "Arianna, remember our deal. Let me be your child's godfather. If not, I can be his father

too!"

I fled in a hurry and left these words behind.

My car was parked just a few steps away from the entrance of the mall, so I got into the car almost right away. Hendrix also followed into my car, and the look on his face was terrifying.

I started the engine and reminded him, "Fasten your seat belt."

Hendrix glanced at me and hissed, "I won't die!"

Seeing him like this, I simply didn't say anything else and drove back to the villa. It wasn't too late when we came out of the mall. It was only about four in the afternoon.

Minnie was gardening in the yard which was messed up by the heavy rain. After Minnie spent a few days in the yard, it had once again become lively as before.

She beamed when she saw Hendrix and I came back together. "You're back! What do you want to eat tonight?"

I didn't even say anything about his lunch with Chloe, and yet he overreacted just by hearing Sawyer's nonsense.

I glared at him with grievances.

Seeing me in such a state, he narrowed his eyes at me, and he kissed gently along the spot where he had bitten me earlier. He spoke, but he sounded muffled. "You're absurd."

The temperature was rising in the room. All of a sudden, he tightened his grip on my waist and demanded in a hoarse voice, "Focus!"

Then, he suddenly picked me up and threw me onto the bed. He was tall and slender, and he stood in front of me, "Take it off."

When I noticed where he was gesturing to, I was rendered speechless. I placed my hands on my baby bump and gazed at him without many emotions. "The doctor said we shouldn't have sex. It might harm the baby."

This was the truth, which was why I could say it out loud so calmly.

Hendrix looked deep into my eyes with his dark eyes, and he parted his thin lips, "Who gave you the confidence?"
