My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 402

"I'm hard!" He said shamelessly, as if this was the most natural thing a person could say to another.

"If you're going to act crazy again, leave me out of it and do it somewhere else." I replied, unwilling to deal with him.

He pulled me into his arms and asked, "Where else can I go? The night is long, don't you think it's a little cruel how you're treating me?"

I...

I held my breath and forced a fake smile. "Mr. Roberts, thank you for your praise."

He smiled and said, "No thank you needed."

I laughed internally.

He really nothing but a shameless, thick-skinned person.

"Hendrix, if this gets you so restless, we'll sleep in separate rooms in the future. I can't sleep with you by my side anyway." I was serious about my suggestion as I couldn't take being forced into situations like this anymore.

He paused for a second and said, "Just twice a week and I won't touch you any other time,

hmm?"

He must be kidding!

This was two godd*mn nights, not just twice!

I rolled my eyes at him and said, "Sleep."

When I was in a daze, he hugged me tightly. I could feel his heavy, labored breaths against me. "Hendrix, go sleep in the guest room!"

He asked in a hoarse voice, "Just once then?"

I pursed my lips, feeling extremely sleepy. "Hendrix, I'm very sleepy."

That was true - I was so sleepy that I didn't even know when or how I fell asleep after our conversation.

I woke up to a new day.

After what happened with Calvin, she came to Jarold City. With a strong academic background, she successfully joined the Moore family's company after attending a few interviews.

We agreed to meet at a teahouse, but there weren't many tea fanatics in the city; thus, finding a good one was a bit of a challenge.

However, when there was a will, there was always a way.

She managed to find a secluded teahouse with a private room and a big, gorgeous window to sit by. When we arrived at the place, we quickly placed our tea orders.

"Calvin had been sentenced to death, so I'm finally free. Thank you!" She exclaimed as soon as she sat down.

I smiled. "You don't have to thank me, I also had my own agenda."

She smiled and didn't pay too much attention to what I said. She said, "Mr. Roberts' company must be in big trouble now."

I was surprised. Hendrix would never publicly talk about this while only top shareholders of the firm would know about this.

After a pause, I asked, "Was this the doing of someone from the Moore family?"
