My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 148

He disappeared after the fight with Hendrix. I thought I could live in peace for a while, but reality said

otherwise.

"If there's nothing important, I'll hang up!" I replied. My head was throbbing in pain. Hendrix was

already difficult to deal with, and Aaron just had to show up right then.

I could hear him chuckling over the phone before he said, "Don't you miss your dear brother?"

"What's wrong with you!" I hung up. That phone call just worsened my headache.

I leaned on the steering wheel to get some rest, and then I heard a knock on my car window. I looked

up and saw that Evan was standing by the car, looking concerned.

I rolled down the window, and he said to me respectfully, "Miss Reid, Mr. Roberts sent me over to pick Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

you up."

I just couldn't seem to get away from him.

"I already told him I'm not going!" I said harshly as there were just too many things on my plate.

Nonetheless, Evan repeated with his usual poker face, "Mr. Roberts sent me to pick you up."

I said angrily, "I know, I know. I'll get there myself later, okay?"

"I'll send you there!" he insisted.

What the actual f*ck!

I slammed the steering wheel out of frustration as I couldn't stand it anymore. I looked at Evan who was

standing by the car, and yelled at him, "Get out of my way!"

He moved away, then stood aside and waited for me to get out of the car.

I swore I was almost driven crazy by Hendrix. After I got out of my car, Evan still said coldly, "Miss Reid,

please come with me."

I got on the black Bentley, still angry and unhappy, but I knew I shouldn't vent my anger on Evan.

Once we arrived at the hospital, I went straight to Hendrix's ward after getting out of the car.

Josiah, Austin, and Andrea were all there when I arrived.

They were all staring at me in surprise. They probably didn't expect me to show up.

I glanced at Hendrix and then back at them, saying, "Please leave if you don't have anything to do."

No matter how mad I was, I knew I shouldn't leash it all out on Hendrix when outsiders were present.

Josiah was always good at reading the mood, so, per my request, he left the ward in surprise.

Andrea, on the other hand, looked at me with furrowed eyebrows and said, "Arianna, don't you know

you should knock before coming in? Where's your manner?"

"Miss Burton, what are you guys up to with the door open?" I shot back. Why should I knock on the

door when it wasn't even close?

Andrea's face turned red, and she retorted, "Arianna, you're so shameless."

I was irritated by so many things happening at the same time in my life. So, for once, I didn't want to

show her even a bit mercy. "Oh, and you think that you're not? Why are you so obsessed with Hendrix

anyway? Is it because he's already mine? Do you have a thing for second-hand lovers?"

"Arianna, you-" she tried to refute.

I sneered and cut her off, "What else could it be? Mr. Shelley and Doctor Saunders are both decent

guys. Oh, I forgot that such a gentleman like Doctor Saunders will never be interested in you. But then,

Mr. Shelley has always been fond of you, why did you never consider him? Is it because you prefer to

have him wrapped around your finger? What do you think he is? Your pet?"

Austin's face fell, and he said coldly, "Arianna, watch your tongue!"

I laughed out loud, "Mr. Shelley, I'm merely saying the obvious!"

"That's enough!" Hendrix said. He looked at Andrea and Austin and suggested, "You guys should

leave."

Both of them weren't pleased with the situation. But they didn't say much and left after hesitating for a

while.

Only Hendrix and I were left in the ward.

Our eyes met. He seemed unconcerned by the scene I caused earlier, and I couldn't tell if he was mad

or not.

When he noticed my expression, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"

Still frustrated, I replied, "Didn't you ask me to come over for dinner?"

"What do you want to eat?" he asked.

"Hendrix, just how bored can you get? You told me to come here only to ask what I want to eat?" I

snapped, "If you are lonely, get your oh- so- lovely Miss Burton to keep you company. Stop troubling

other people, could you?"
