My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

After waiting in the car for quite some time, Hendrix arrived and got into his seat with a blank face.

He straightened his body and looked forward steadily, placing his hands on his knees as though he had drawn an invisible line between us.

Only women would sulk silently. But when it came to Hendrix, it unexpectedly suited him. He even looked slightly embarrassed.

As I looked at his sharp jawline, I pursed my lips and held back my laughter. Leaning over to take a closer look at his face, the car came to a sudden stop, and I, who had forgotten to buckle my seat belt, was thrown out of my seat from the inertia.

Just then, a pair of huge hands placed themselves on my waist. With a gentle push, I was brought back onto my leather seat.

When I looked up, I saw Hendrix's furrowed eyebrows. His deep black eyes looked concerned.

I seemed to have read his mind, which implied, "This is the wife I've chosen for myself. Even if I get mad at her, I can only brace myself and continue to spoil her."

"Pfft..." I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Hendrix's face darkened. He couldn't stand seeing me like this, but he couldn't do anything about it either. Others only suffered defeat from Hendrix, so he had never been treated this way before. He had probably been rendered speechless.
