My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Andrea had started to get emotional. She looked at Hendrix and said, "Hendrix, if you choose to stay by Arianna's side to take care of her out of guilt, you'll end up hurting her. You know love cannot be forced. If you don't love her, yet you stay with her for the rest of your life, you will suffer, and she will too!"

Hendrix turned his back to me, so I couldn't see his expression clearly. I simply said with a faint sneer, "Love can't be forced, but we can still try. As for whether we're happy or not, it doesn't really matter. What's important is that as long as you're not doing well, I think that's enough to make me happy."

Hearing my voice, Hendrix turned around, his eyes narrowed, "You've finished washing up?"

I nodded, looked at him, and then shifted my gaze to Andrea. Then, I put on a smile and said, "You guys are so energetic in the morning. Do you need to get rid of your excess energy? Shall I step aside to make room for you two?"

Hendrix frowned and he seemed upset. "Arianna!" He called out, his voice echoed his threat.

I shrugged, but didn't feel angry. I merely said, "Alright then, you two have a good talk. I'll be leaving first."

However, before I go far, Hendrix grabbed my wrist, "Don't get mad, okay?" Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
