My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

I could hear that Monique had come out of the bathroom, so I pushed Hendrix back a few steps while speaking to Monique, "Monique, I'm going out for a while!" Then, I closed the door and pulled Hendrix to the stairwell.

I knew it was inappropriate to quarrel at that time and location, so I softened my tone and said, "I'm going to stay here for a while. Don't worry. I'll take good care of myself and the baby." "Come back to the villa," he coldly insisted, "Minnie can take care of you."

I grimaced, "Hendrix, I..."

"If you really want to live here, Minnie and I will come and stay with you," he continued in all seriousness.

He was pinching his nose in exhaustion, but he froze as he heard my voice. Then, he put down his hand to look at me with his dark eyes for a few seconds before saying, "Alright." Minnie went ahead to heat the dishes in the kitchen. I had nothing else to do, so I went back to my room on the top floor to clean up myself. When I came out of the bathroom, Hendrix was there. I frowned, "I thought we're
