My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 1639

Hendrix did not answer. He kept silent and turned to the bathroom. Soon, I could hear him showering, indicating that our conversation had ended in failure.

I was still worried. I sat on the sofa waiting for him, and I wanted an explanation.

Hendrix showered quickly and came out after fifteen minutes. He was wrapped in a bathrobe, and his hair was dripping. Seeing that I was still awake, he sighed and sat down beside me. He reached out to hug my shoulders and pulled me into his arms.

It had been a long time since we sat down and spoke our minds with peace. After snuggling for a while, he talked in a deep and hoarse voice.

"Haven't you always wanted to know why I didn't attend Grandpa's funeral?"

I struggled out of his arms instantly and looked up at him blankly. "Why?"

Besides his grandmother, Dalton was one of the few elders who had treated me well. It was always regrettable that Hendrix had not attended his funeral.

"Do you know that Naomi's parents and my parents died in a car accident?" Hendrix asked.

"Yeah." I nodded. "Naomi mentioned it to me. It was an accident. Does it have anything to do with this?"

"Yes." Hendrix nodded and his gaze grew dark. He looked straight ahead and said, "You only know that they were all car accidents, but you didn't know that they died in the car accidents in Ucrebury and Asherton on the same day. The day before their accident, they also talked about the same business project. Two car accidents that seemed to have no connection, had been secretly planned to get rid of the scapegoats."

From the last word, I could even hear Hendrix gritting his teeth with hatred.

I didn't expect that Dalton, who had always been dignified and righteous, had done these things before. I frowned. "So you're in a hurry to go further, because you want to compete with your enemy as soon as possible, and avenge your parents?"

I was perplexed. I shifted myself into a more serious sitting position. "If that's the case, we should be more steady, and ensure our strength will not falter, shouldn't we? But you've been recruiting your relatives and friends with great determination recently. Everyone knows you're going to make big moves. Hendrix, you and I know this. If you keep going like this, it's all or nothing. Since you've waited for so long, why not wait until our children are born? Please?"

Hendrix shook his head. "I don't have much time left."
