My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 214

Hendrix put on a faint smile and pulled me into a hug. Warily, he rested his chin on my shoulder and asked. "Do you have any plans in the afternoon?"

I thought for a moment and answered, "I'm going out. Monique has been back for a few days, and I didn't have the time to accompany her before. So I think I'm going to see her today."

The truth was that Ian was coming to Ucrebury in the afternoon. But I didn't think it was necessary to tell Hendrix about my illness as it wasn't a big deal. It wasn't lifethreatening.

"Okay!" he simply replied. But he looked a little displeased. "Looks like I'm all on my own today."

I lowered my head, held his hand in mine, and asked in a serious tone, "Hendrix, do you mean everything you said to Andrea earlier?"

Our eyes met. I could even see my reflections in his pupils. He answered, "When have I ever lied to you?"

"Okay then. From now on, let's be good to each other," As far as I was concerned, responsibility weighed much more than love in a marriage.

I doubted Hendrix's love for me, but I was very certain that he would be responsible for our child and me.

And that was all I asked for

I stayed with him in the living room a little more before leaving home. Although my baby bump has gotten bigger, it didn't stop me from driving.

Ian's arrival time was at three in the afternoon. I arrived at the airport just on time.

I was stunned when I saw a familiar figure walking out of the arrival hall. It had only been a few years since we last met, but Ian had already grown so much taller.

Ian was a handsome young man in his twenties and with great fashion sense. As the weather was hot, he wore a knee-length gray short, paired with a chic blue plaid shirt from the latest fashion week's collection. A pair of sunglasses sat perfectly on his tall nose bridge, and his middle-length hair was well-groomed. He looked very stylish.

"Hey, babe! I finally got to meet you!" Before I could react, Ian pulled me into a big hug.

"Nope!" he shook his head.

"Exactly," I laughed it off. I started the engine and told him, "I've booked a four-star hotel for your stay. Just enjoy Ucrebury for the next few days."

He wasn't pleased with my arrangement and whined, "I don't want to stay in the hotel. Aren't you married? Monique told me that your husband is the CEO of a listed company. He should be very well off. I bet you live in a five hundred square meters mansion."

I couldn't help but laugh as I watched him being gossipy, and I said, "You know my husband. You once wrote an article criticizing this wealthy young master."

He startled and asked, "You're saying, Hendrix Roberts from the Roberts Group?"

I nodded with a smile on my face. When I started college, the twenty- eight years old, Hendrix had just taken over the Roberts Group. For a large corporate such as Roberts Group, this new director was deemed way too young.
