My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 2134

"Are you calm now?" Hendrix looked at me with a relaxed expression. "You can't stay out of this, and I don't intend to force you to, but I won't allow accidents to happen."

Hendrix's expression was unpleasant. With just a look, I knew that he was being rational. In such a situation, being unreasonable would not work in my favor.

My consciousness urged me to argue back, but reason kept me in check. After the wedding, Hendrix seemed to be less forceful.

"Irvin won't die like this. When I have a certain degree of confirmation, I won't say a thing about your decision to stay or leave, even if you want to be by his side to care for him."

Hearing this, I raised my gaze in surprise, but he had already turned to face the elevator door. He looked calm, and I could not tell if he was happy or angry at the moment.

Did I hallucinate Hendrix taking the initiative to allow me to care for Irvin?

"Ding!"

When the elevator door opened, Hendrix turned around, took my hand, and walked out.

We drove out of the hospital's parking lot, but not in the direction towards our home.

"Where are we going?" My brain was a hazy mess.

"Aurelia called home and said she wanted to have some dessert tonight." Hendrix had his eyes on the road, but there was a faint smile on his face.

Perhaps he was right. Irvin had always come out fine from many life and death incidents. Sympathy was not going to change his predetermined destiny.

I had a lovely child and a husband who loved me. I should not turn a blind eye to everything I had while feeling sorry for the fate of others.

As expected, Hendrix was a man who valued more than just the price of an item. He valued the food's worth and the emotion it evoked.

I stopped in front of a display of the Napoleon cake. It was a new product in the shop, and it looked to be just the right size.

Hendrix immediately summoned the shop assistant.

"Hello, Sir, do you need a recommendation?" The waitress had a model figure and appearance. When she spoke, television hosts immediately came to mind.

"Our apologies, Sir. The last of this cake has been reserved. We have another that is quite popular. Would you like to try it?"

"That was fast. It's not even noon yet." Hearing that the new product was sold out, I was surprised and disappointed. But having a popular product be in such high demand was an inevitable phenomenon. One could only get their hands on it if they ordered one in advance.
