My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 289

However, Hendrix ignored Andrea, only saying to Josiah and Austin, "It's getting late. Arianna and I should go home now."

Josiah put down his glass, stood up, and said, "I'm leaving too."

"D*mn!" Austin rose to his feet and said irritably, "We haven't stayed here for long. Why is everyone in a hurry to leave?"

Hendrix glanced at them and said, "Arianna can't stay up late. You all can take your time."

Indeed, I was pregnant. So, Austin had nothing to say against that. He turned at Josiah and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry then?"

"I want to sleep," Josiah shrugged and said flatly.

Austin almost blurted out some curse words. He spent some time regaining his composure, and then only said, "Fine, let's all go. Well hang out again someday."

At this time, Chloe came back from buying food. Seeing that everyone was leaving, she handed the snacks to Andrea and said, "Miss Burton, here you go."

Andrea didn't even look at Chloe as she said, "You've made me wait for such a long time. I'm not hungry now, and I can't eat anymore."

Then, she took the snacks from Chloe and threw them into the trash can in an offhand manner.

Seeing that, Hendrix only glimpsed at me without much emotion, and he pulled me away. Josiah frowned, but he didn't say anything. He only looked at Austin and said, "See you."

As for Chloe, she wasn't looking very happy at how she was treated. But she couldn't say anything because she wanted to maintain her sensible and gentle image in front of people.

Hendrix held my hand until we came to the entrance of Paramount Hall. Then, he asked me to wait for him while he went to get the car. It was really dark, I could feel the cool breeze blowing occasionally.

It looked like it was going to rain soon.

"When is the due date?" Someone suddenly asked from behind. Slightly taken aback, I turned to see that it was Josiah.

Bemused, I answered, "Soon. In another two weeks, I think."

As for Josiah, it was likely that even he didn't know exactly how he felt for Monique.

Seeing that Hendrix's car was coming towards us, I said goodbye to Josiah, "We'll talk another day if you want. Bye!"

After a few steps towards Hendrix's car, Josiah called from behind me, "Remember to get someone you trust with you when you're in labor."

Bewildered, I couldn't help but laugh out loud in amusement, "I know." Although I answered that, I didn't know why Josiah needed to remind me about that. It wasn't like I had a mother-in-law who would choose to save the baby over me if I had a labor complication.

After getting in the car, I clumsily moved my body to lean against the chair. Somehow exhausted, I asked, "When would things with the business be less hectic?"

Monique's due date was only two months away. I was more worried about her than myself because Monique had no one to take care of her. The limited medical support in the countryside didn't help to ease my worries either.

Hendrix started the engine. Sparing a look at me, he didn't answer me but asked, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing... I'm thinking that maybe we can go to the countryside together when you're free. I haven't seen Monique in a long time, so I want to visit her."
