My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 132

Richard and Evelyn were still making small talks when we left the restaurant. I was getting tired, and

the night was chiller than usual, so I didn't speak much.

Suddenly, my shoulders felt warm. I looked up and saw that Hendrix had put on a coat for me.

Surprised at his action, I thanked him.

A black Cadillac stopped in front of the restaurant lobby, and a gentle and decent looking man got out

from the car. He waved his hand at Richard and Evelyn and said, "Mom, Dad, next time can you inform

me half an hour earlier?"

Evelyn pulled the man over intimately and told Hendrix and me, "Mr. and Mrs. Roberts, this is my son,

Calvin Hammer. He was supposed to join us tonight, but he couldn't make it as he had to deal with

something else. Fortunately, I still get to introduce him to the both of you."

We talked for a bit more, during which I felt like I had seen Calvin before, but I couldn't recall where I

met him.

When I heard Evelyn said that Calvin was working for Alford Audit, I paid a little more attention to her

words.

Since we already had our meal, and there wasn't anything important left to discuss, we headed on our Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

separate ways after saying goodbye.

In the car, I frowned while staring blankly out the window.

Suddenly, a warmth wrapped around my hands. I turned around and saw Hendrix driving with one hand

while holding me in another. I grimaced, "It's not safe."

He glanced sideways at me and asked with a smug, "Are you worrying about me?"

No. It was definitely not!

"My life is in your hand," I replied. Besides, there was also someone else inside my belly. I continued,

"And I'm also carrying a baby."

For a moment, he looked fragile. He then held my hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, even if I die, I will

die protecting you and the baby."

I didn't reply. My mind drifted to Calvin, and then I suddenly remembered that the car which Kelsey had

got on after leaving the Roberts Building was a black Cadillac too.

I was at a distance when I saw her getting into the car, so I didn't remember how the man looked. I

frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

I didn't say a word on our way back to the mansion. When we arrived, I was already very sleepy.

Hendrix carried me out of the car and brought me straight to the bedroom. He placed me on the bed

and said, "Don't fall asleep, go wash up first."

I was very sleepy, so I pulled over the quilt and was ready to fall asleep like that.

Hendrix seemed to have read my thoughts as he sat me up from the bed and brought me into the

bathroom. He sternly said in his deep voice, "Wash up. Otherwise, you'll be uncomfortable in the

morning."

"Okay," I responded, but I still hung onto Hendrix. I tried to put toothpaste on my toothbrush in a daze,

but Hendrix took it away from me.

After applying the toothpaste for me, he filled up the mug with water, handed it to me, and said as if he

was lecturing a child, "Brush your teeth thoroughly."

With the toothbrush in my mouth, I muttered, "I'm not a child."

He smiled, "There's no difference."

After washing up, I wasn't as sleepy anymore. I was lying on the bed when Hendrix decided to join me.

He laid down, held me in his arms, and placed his chin on the crook of my neck. He rumbled, "Sleep

well tonight."

I raised my eyebrows and questioned him, "Who are you saying that to?"

He opened his eyes to look at me, the corner of his lips lifted, "It was meant for you. It's only natural for

it to react this way when it sees its owner. You have to accept it."

This man could really get in the mood forthat at any given time.

I pursed my lips, pushed him away, and said, "You stink. Go wash up,"

He smirked, "Which part of me stinks?"

"Every!" I closed my eyes and prepared to fall asleep. Suddenly, I heard him whispering to my ear,

"Arianna, let's not fight anymore in the future, okay?"

My heart stung a little. I pursed my lips, not saying anything. Could we really live together

harmoniously?
