My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 1157

He stopped and didn't look back at me, as if he was waiting for me to say something.

"Are you all right?" I don't know why they came here. With his dark coloring, he stood out in this city. His messy look was something I've never seen on him either.

"I'm fine!" After responding to me, he walked away.

I stood in the alley for a while, dumbstruck. The rain was getting heavier. I came to my senses when the bodyguards approached with an umbrella in a belated attempt to shield me from the rain

"Did he follow me for a long time?" I asked the bodyguard.

He nodded. "It's been a while!"

"Hendrix knows?"

"Mr. Roberts only knows that someone is following you, but he doesn't know who he is."

I nodded.

The bodyguard handed his phone to me and said, "Mr. Roberts asked you to answer the phone!"

I eyed the phone but didn't move to take it. "Take

me back!"

He was shocked but kept his opinions to himself. He led me out of the alley and back to the car.

The villa was dark inside when we returned. But Hendrix's black Bentley was parked outside.

He was back.

I took a bracing breath and walked in. I opened the door, kicked my shoes off, and turned on the entrance lights.

Hendrix's face was dark, and there was a hint of barely concealed anger on his handsome face.

fl heard a voice calling my name but I was too tired and lethargic to respond.

When I woke up the next day, I had a terrible cold, and my throat was beginning to ache. Hendrix was nowhere to be found.

Since I planned to go back to Jarold City, after I woke up, I got dressed. But then a call came in.

Naomi chattered, "Arianna, will you be free in a few days' time? Let's have a meal together. Is that okay?"

"What's wrong? Why the sudden invite?" I answered, nodding my head.

She said, "It was Rainie's idea. She mentioned that it's going to be Thanksgiving Day soon. Since people naturally go home for the holidays, so we won't have time to meet. Why don't we have a meal together in a few days?"

Oh right, it was going to be Thanksgiving Day soon.

I nodded. "Alright, I did plan to visit Jarold City on Thanksgiving day. You're right in saying that I probably won't have time to meet you then." I then remembered that I met Westin the night before.
