My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 14

Knowing that he was angry, I whispered to bid goodbye to Monique. Then I walked towards him in a

good manner while bowing my head and said, "Thank you!"

He gave me a cold-eyed stare. It seemed that his pair of eyes were deep and unwavering without any

emotion. He uttered coldly, "Get into the car!"

I dare not to say a word and got in the car obediently.

After driving for a few whiles, I got a message from Monique that she had arrived home. So I looked out

the window to see that we were almost at the villa as well.

Looking at the man beside me, he was as cold as always. I would not dare to speak more if it was not

him that start the conversation.

At the villa, he parked the car and then walked to the villa straight away. I followed him and explained to

him after giving a second thought, "Hendrix, I thought you were drunk, that's why I gave Doctor

Saunders a call. Believe me that I have no other thought."

Despite knowing that it was needless to explain, I still did it. I knew that he would not give a damn even

if I explained to him.

He suddenly stopped walking, he turned around and glanced at me. He slightly narrowed his eyes, and

said in a deep voice, "Huh? Do you think Josiah will have a fancy for you?"

The word shut me up. I was speechless for a moment and could say no more.

That's right, not to mention that Josiah was Hendrix's buddy, but I was still Hendrix's nominal wife. Even

if he wasn't, Josiah wouldn't necessarily have a fancy for me.

To Hendrix, I was just a speck of dust in the mud, which was petty and low. If it wasn't for Dalton's

tender affection for me, I probably wouldn't even have the right to meet Hendrix, not to say marry him.

Seeing that I didn't say a word, Hendrix glanced at me with his cold eyes and he was getting ready to

go upstairs.

After a few steps, he suddenly stopped as if he had thought of something. He turned to me and

ordered, "Go to The Gallery Lane to buy a supper."

I was stunned, why didn't he just say so on the way? It was a far cry from The Gallery Lane, and it was

already midnight. Why should I travel to get him a late-night snack?

"Has it to be today? It's already midnight, and the place is probably closed by now."

"No, it's running 24 hours!" He threw me the words and went straight upstairs without giving me no

chance to say anything.

Indeed, he was not craving for supper but just wanted to torture me.

But, I was wrong in the first place. After a pause, I still went out of the villa and prepared to drive there.

It was the rainy season, and the air was warm and humid since it looked as if it was going to rain soon.

I was planning to drive Hendrix's jeep, but he brought the key along to the study room. I had no choice

but to drive another car with a lower chassis at the garage.

It was at one o'clock at the midnight. I took a detour around the city before I could get him a supper and

I was lucky that it wasn't raining.

However, it began to rain heavily as soon as I came out of The Gallery Lane. There were thunders and

flashes of lightning, followed by a heavy downpour.

I drove back all the way. A flood could be seen in tunnels and roads of Ucrebury during the rainy

season, so I deliberately detoured the tunnel. Although the distance was long, at least there would not

be any flood.

However, it was totally out of my expectation that the car would break down halfway. Due to the detour,

I drove slowly, and there was still a long way to go from the villa. Since the area was desolate, and it Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

was raining heavily, so it was impossible to hail a cab at the moment.

I looked at my phone and found that it had run out of power. I had no choice but to give Hendrix a call.

The phone rang several times but no one answered. It was about to shut off, so all I could do was to

get an umbrella from the car, and brought the supper along with me to walk back home.
