My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Hendrix frowned and pursed his lips. "Arianna, are you going to just treat me apathetically?"

I looked back at him and said, "You can choose not to eat or just order takeout yourself." Saying that, I turned off the fire on the stove.

Good heavens!

As expected, he just talked nonsense and found it was boring.

After Hendrix finished his meal, I left the rest of it alone and went straight to the bedroom to wash up and sleep. I was already feeling a little tired.

At midnight, I woke up groggily, disturbed by Hendrix's phone ringing. I was a little annoyed by it. Blinking my eyes open, I saw that he had picked up the call.

Realizing that I was awake, he lifted his hand to smooth and stroke my hair at the back of my head and asked, "Did I wake you up?"

"You..." Valerie was so angry that she couldn't find any words to say. Angry and bothered, she said, "If you have any hate, direct it towards me.
