My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 40

I couldn't figure it out, so I assumed that it was their neighbor's child. I didn't think much of it and

continued to flip through the photos.

The photo behind it was of Hendrix attending school. Master Roberts was really thoughtful, he had

recorded every moment of Hendrix's growth. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

When I flipped to the back, I saw a photo that looked like it was taken just a few years ago. Andrea,

Josiah, and Austin were all in it, but there was another person in the photo.

It was a boy with delicate bright eyes, and he looked energetic and warm. The others in the photo were

extraordinary as they each were extremely goodlooking. However, that boy seemed pale and sickly.

Since I didn't know him, I didn't pay any more attention to him.

A girl stood in the middle of the four boys. I knew the girl, she was Andrea. The young Andrea looked

innocent and cute.

At first glance, I could tell that she was a precious little princess. She seemed very happy in the photo.

After flipping through the photos, my emotions were jumbled up. Andrea and Hendrix had known each

other for so long, but it had only been two years since I first met him.

At that time, if my grandmother hadn't fallen ill and had no choice but to take me to Master Roberts, I

wouldn't have married Hendrix.

Come to think of it, I had only married him because of my grandmother and Master Roberts. It was no

wonder that he didn't have any feelings for me.

After such a long time, I had never considered why my grandmother would be acquainted with Master

Roberts. The Roberts was a prestigious family, while my grandmother was an old lady living in the

countryside. How did they come to know each other?

I fell into a daze as I pondered about these.

I stayed in Hendrix's study until late. Perhaps due to my pregnancy, I didn't feel hungry even though I

hadn't had anything to eat for the whole day. My stomach was only feeling a little uncomfortable.

I headed downstairs and rummaged through the kitchen. It was a good thing that Kelsey had sent

enough ingredients. After searching for a long time, I found some cucumbers in the refrigerator. I felt

lazy and didn't want to cook, so I took a cucumber and washed it to have as my dinner.

I didn't notice that Hendrix was back. It wasn't until I came out with a wet cucumber that I saw him

sitting in the living room.

When did he come back?

Hearing me, Hendrix turned to look and his eyes fell on the cucumber in my hand. He knitted his brows

and asked in a low voice, "What are you using that for?"

Feeling baffled by his ridiculous question, I replied matter-of-factly, "To eat." What else could I do with a

cucumber?

Hendrix sneered, "Do you need to use it because I couldn't satisfy you?"

What the hell?

I couldn't understand what he meant. What did he mean by I needed to use it?

Hendrix got up and walked towards me with an indescribable expression. I couldn't understand what he

was thinking, so I raised the cucumber in my hand and offered, "Do you want one?" I had washed two

cucumbers earlier anyway.

Hendrix's gaze became unusually dark as he answered, "No!" He took the cucumber from my hand

and threw it aside. He then placed an arm around my waist and touched my lips with his finger.

Even if I were stupid, I'd know what he was about to do. Subconsciously, I wanted to get away from him

but he held me tightly and uttered in a deep and hoarse voice, "It has been a few days, we should be

able to do it."

I didn't know what to say.

"Hen-mph!" He cut me off as I tried to speak I raised my hand to push him away but to no avail. The

difference in our strength was too great, I couldn't move at all.

The air suddenly felt damp and my eyes widened in shock. He...

"Hendrix, don't..." A ripping noise sounded through the air.
