My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 256



Chapter 256

Hendrix scorned. "Did I say anything wrong?"

I held my tongue, suppressing the frustration I felt. But I still couldn't ignore my heartache. After a

moment of recomposing myself, I raised my eyes to meet him, and I asked, "Hendrix, do you hate me?"

He frowned. Perhaps it was because I had calmed down too quickly, or that my question was too

childish. He asked in return, "Why would I?"

I sat up to lean on the bed frame. "You were going to marry Andrea, but your life with her was disrupted

by my sudden appearance. I shouldn't have listened to Grandpa and married you. If it weren't for me,

you wouldn't have to break up with Andrea."

I looked away from his gloomy face and continued, "I know you're going to divorce me earlier if it Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

weren't for the baby. After all, you didn't love me."

I drew a deep breath and shifted my gaze back to him. "I'll leave after giving birth to the baby. Don't

worry, I'm not going to give you a hard time. I've already signed the divorce paper."

At that, Hendrix started laughing in exasperation. "Is that why you wandered around the city without

your phone and wallet today?" The smile on him looked forced, and I could tell that he was in a rage,

but he was controlling his temper. "Arianna, you think that everything is about you, don't you? You think

that I have to be with you all the time to be considered as contributing to our marriage, am I right? I

thought I had made it clear that I never loved Andrea, and I will never love her. I took care of her

because Casper entrusted me to. Why can't you understand that?"

I thought about the divorce documents in his drawer, and I refused to answer him. Seeing that, he

sighed in distress and continued, "You're already seven months pregnant but you still left without

bringing anything with you. You've only been in the city for less than two days! Have you thought about

me if something happened to you and our child? Arianna, can you please start to take responsibility for

your actions?"

Only then did I find his words earlier funny. "You said you've never loved Andrea, did you?" I looked

right into his eyes and retorted, speaking very clearly, "If you've never loved her, why did you sleep with

her? How was she pregnant with your baby? Why would you risk your life several times for her?

Hendrix, if this isn't love, I don't know what else is."

Since he wasn't planning to sleep in a separate room with me, I didn't want to be in a room with him

anymore. I got up and headed to the door.

Hendrix stopped me and asked, "Where are you going?"

"It's none of your business!" I pushed him away and left the room in vexation.

Hearing his footsteps close behind me, I picked up my pace, almost running down the stairs to put

distance between us. I heard him calling out in irritation behind me, "Slow down!"

On the ground floor, Heather and several bodyguards in black were guarding at the door to block my

way. Hendrix caught up to me and grabbed me. "You're not in Ucrebury. Where do you think you can

go?"

"Go to hell!" I blurted out without thinking in a rage.

He was amused at my comeback. Although he was still mad at me, he was hand-tied. "Arianna, you

really have all the possible flaws of a woman. Stop fooling around anymore and come back to bed."

I rolled my eyes at that. He must be crazy to think that I would be able to sleep in such a situation.

I wriggled myself free from him and asked, "What are the flaws of women? Being unreasonable?

Seeking revenge for the smallest grievance? Being irrational?"

Hendrix gave no response, so I continued, "That's how I am, Hendrix. But I know Andrea isn't like me.

So, by all means, go find her. You don't have to point fingers at me."

After saying that, I walked past a few bodyguards and went out of the villa. Undoubtedly, I wouldn't be

able to avoid their hands if they put the effort into it. It was just that they were afraid to hurt me —a

pregnant woman.

Hendrix told a lot of lies that evening, but there was one thing he got right. I didn't have anywhere to go

in Jarold City apart from this compound.

I circled the courtyard, and I returned to the front door to see Hendrix was leaning at the door frame,

looking at me with crossed arms. He was waiting for me to go back to him.
