My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

The next day.

I woke up after a night of tossing and turning and discovered that Hendrix was still lying next to me. He opened his eyes, and his warm and gentle gaze fell on me. When he saw that I was awake, he curled his lips into a smile. "Awake?"

I nodded and looked at him, letting out an audible laugh. Then, I moved closer to him and said in a hoarse voice, "I dreamed of you last night. I thought you were on a business trip again, and how disappointed I would be if I can't see you first thing in the morning. But unexpectedly, when I woke up, you were still by my side. I'm so happy you're here."

I didn't know how these words sounded in my head, but after I uttered them out, I heard a faint chuckle beside me. "From now on, you will accompany me on all my business trips. I'm also very disappointed when I wake up in the morning, and you're not there with me. I always feel like something's missing when I can't hug you to sleep."

I nodded, buried my head in his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "Sebastian has been dealt with. Rowane is in charge of everything in Asherton, so you no longer have to travel there. You are also not needed in Oakland anymore, so you can finally stay in Jarold City. By the way, Sawyer is getting married soon."

nodded and looked at me with a piercing gaze. "When Sawyer is done with his wedding, we should
