My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 42

After noticing that I was seated, the trio walked over to my table and sat down. Andrea's expression changed when she noticed me but she did not speak. After all, it was a table for four.

Andrea rushed over and sat next to me before Hendrix could. She looked at me sweetly while asking, "Arianna, is it okay if I sit next to you?"

Could I possibly refuse her?

No, I could not!

Therefore, I kept quiet.

"What did you order?" Hendrix asked. He took the menu from the waiter and gazed at me.

I replied, "Some snacks and a bowl of soup."

He nodded and lowered his head to place a few orders. Austin pursued his lips and uttered, "Hendrix, don't order for me. I don't have an appetite."

Hendrix nodded and handed the menu back to the waiter.

The trio began to chat and I could not catch up with any of the topics. Thus, I decided to keep my mouth shut.

Shortly after, the waiter came back with a bowl of soup. It was pumpkin soup. As soon as the waiter placed it on the table, Hendrix pushed the soup to Andrea and urged in a magnetic voice, "I ordered this for you. It'll warm you up."

Andrea was delighted. She chuckled and said, "Hendrix, you know me well. I love pumpkin soup!"

Their behaviors pained me.

Hendrix liked Andrea, so he would pay attention to details about her. He was so gentle and sweet to her but I would never be treated the same.

After a while, I had wiped dry the soup on my body. I raised my head and noticed that Hendrix was kneeling in front of Andrea, gently cleaning the blood from her nose.

Earlier, I had gotten up hurriedly and had probably bumped into Andrea's nose. Therefore...

Austin took the tissues and handed them to Hendrix. He then frowned at me and snapped furiously, "Miss Reid, are you blind?"

I was taken aback and did not know what to say.

I glanced at Andrea's red, swollen eyes and her injured nose. I suppressed my sadness and said to her, "Miss Burton, I'm sorry!"

I didn't even touch the bowl. Andrea was the closest to me. Apart from her, I could not think of another troublemaker who would push the soup to me.

"It's fine, Arianna. You should be more careful next time." After Andrea finished speaking, she turned to Hendrix tearfully and continued, "Hendrix, the soup is spilled and I don't feel like eating anymore. Can you go on a walk with me?"
