My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 265

Before I could react, the bouquet was snatched away by Hendrix. "Director Reid, you're romantic. But Arianna doesn't really like flowers. Thanks for it anyway."

I almost laughed out loud.

I had never seen such a shameless person like Hendrix before.

With his eyebrows lifted, Aaron looked at me. "Since when did you don't like flowers?"

I pressed my lips together and felt that the two of them were childish to even want to fight for this.

Since I didn't reply, Aaron narrowed his eyes and looked at Hendrix. "Arianna used to like flowers very much. Why did she change after she's married to you, Mr. Roberts? Gifting flowers are a form of love. I suspect that you think Arianna doesn't like them because you've never sent her flowers. Am I right?"

With that, Aaron was implying that Hendrix didn't love me.

I was almost amazed at how skilled Aaron was at deliberately misinterpreting things.

Holding the flower in his hand, Hendrix raised his eyebrows at me and asked, "Do you like flowers?"

These two people were playing with words, so I needed to be careful with how I worded my answer.

But I seemed to have taken too long to articulate my answer. Because Hendrix thought that I had tacitly agreed, and he said, "Even if you do, you can't accept flowers from others. I'll buy it for you every day."

While he was saying that, he threw the large bouquet of roses into the trash. Then, he looked at Aaron innocently and said, "It fell into the bin by accident. I'm sorry!"

Even Aaron was speechless.

It was the first time I had seen such a childish move in grownups.

"I'll leave you both to it then," Hendrix said to me as though he didn't just throw the bouquet that was meant for me away without asking me. "Remember to make it clear to Director Reid that you don't like flowers. And come home early. I'll be waiting for you and our child at home."

I frowned, "Aaron, are you crazy?" My lack of reason to go back aside, he couldn't possibly leave the life he had right now even if he wanted. He was now a part of the Reid family.

He sounded as though he was playing pretend for these few years.

"You're still unwilling to leave Hendrix, aren't you?" He narrowed his eyes at me, and his tall figure leaned against his car. He looked charming like that.

I almost laughed at his question. "Hendrix is my husband. Naturally, I can't bear to part with him. Aaron, I've said that you can stay as a family in my life for as long as you don't try to meddle with it. But can you act more like a normal brother would when you do that? For starters, you can call before visiting."

It didn't end well every time he appeared. If he wasn't fighting with Hendrix, he would make Hendrix and I quarrel after that.

"Let's make a bet!" Aaron took out a cigarette from its box. Then, he glanced at my baby belly, and he put it back after a pause. He continued, "Hendrix and you will be on your separate ways in less than a month. If I was right, you have to come back to Hovell with me.

I didn't know why he was so confident, and I said, "Aaron, I don't know why you can't just let me go. But I still want to tell you that I hate it. I hate you for showing up in my life unannounced because it bothers me very much."
