My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Fortunately, after some toss and turns, Austin leaned onto the couch and fell silent. I thought that he was too drunk and had fallen asleep.

When I looked over, I found him staring at the ceiling in a daze. He was so quiet that it was frightening.

Looking at his despondence, I couldn't help but turn to Hendrix and asked, "Who was he yearning for?"

Hendrix raised his brows but didn't say anything; he had no intention of answering me.

After a moment's thought, I drew closer to him and asked, "Andrea?" I couldn't think of anyone else other than her.

Probably because he heard what I said, Austin immediately sprung up from the couch and sat up straight. He looked toward me and yelled furiously, "Andrea Burton, you must be blind! What's so good about Hendrix? He's just a little wealthier, a little better-looking! If you want money, I can give it to you!"

I was speechless at his sudden reactions.

I lifted my eyes to look at Hendrix. His expression was as per usual; he seemed very calm.

Looking at Austin, I smiled slightly and wanted to console him, but I would probably laugh as soon as I spoke, so I didn't say anything in the end. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
