My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1060

Perhaps I was frowning. He put out the cigarette and said, "I usually don't smoke!" It sounded like an excuse.

I didn't say much. I rested in the bathtub for a while and regained some strength. Then, a phone rang outside.

I had forgotten that I still had to go to work, and had to wash up. However, he was constantly by my side. I still could not get over the emotional barrier of coexisting with him so intimately, so with a deep breath, I asked, "Hendrix, can you go out first?"

He looked at me and his eyebrows rose. "We are husband and wife!"

"Still. A married couple should also have their own privacy!

"I've already seen all parts of your body!" Gosh! Hendrix was really exasperating!

I got up, pulled over a bath towel, and wrapped myself in it without saying anything else. Then I said, "You can take a shower first, I'll go out!"

When he saw this, he compromised. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll go out!"

I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly washed up. Then, I left the bathroom.

There were clothes in the wardrobe, which should have been prepared in advance by him. When I put them on, I couldn't help frowning.

Looking back at him, who was looking at me with his arms crossed, I said, "How could you be so sure that I'll come back to you? That you prepared clothes in advance?"

He raised his brows and said without thinking, "I know you very well!"

I...

That was the only way to explain it.

I pursed my lips and picked up my phone. There were several missed calls, all from Linda.

I called back, and she immediately picked up. "Arianna, where did you go last night? Why didn't you come back all night?"

"I was with Hendrix!" I said it and couldn't help but sigh in my heart. After everything, it still turned out this way.

She was shocked and couldn't control her tone. "Did you both reconcile with each other? Or did you... compromise because of the burglary at the base?"

I shrugged and didn't know how to explain. After a pause, I said, "Both. As for the base, you don't have to worry too much. I will find a better solution." "Okay..." After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Arianna, thank you!"

I smiled and said, "You're welcome. I can't cough up the tens of millions of dollars either. Sometimes, we just have to humble ourselves in life..."

There was a dark shadow looming above my head. I hung up the phone and looked up. It was Hendrix staring at me with a pair of dark eyes. "Are you going to sell yourself to me? Humbling yourself?" Deciding not to avoid it, I nodded. "Well, yes. If we succumb to more vices, whenever we quarrel in the future, I would not feel so self-righteous."

He suddenly laughed and reached out to hug me again. But I avoided him and said, "Mr. Roberts, it's already noon. You don't want to be spoken ill of back at the base, do you?"

He raised his eyebrows and kissed me hard. Then, he turned around and went to the bathroom.

I was baffled beyond words for a moment. Indeed, although he was a grown-up, he was occasionally still a kid at heart.

When I was leaving the room with Hendrix, it was already noon, so we decided to just eat in the hotel's restaurant.

It wasn't a big hotel, and there weren't many places to have meals, so it was normal to bump into acquaintances.

Linda saw me and Hendrix enter the restaurant together. She looked around at me with an ambiguous look and walked close to me and said, "You must be very hungry. There are marks on you..."

I was stunned. Her words had a double meaning. I was speechless for a moment and asked awkwardly, "Did you go to the base this morning?"

She nodded. "You guys eat first, and well talk later. I won't disturb you!"

After that, she found a seat on her own and sat down.

After looking at Hendrix, I secretly glared at him and said, "Look what you've done!" There were so many marks on my neck! I can't cover them up even if I want to.

He raised his hand to touch his nose and said with a smile, "Come on, they don't make you look bad! They look nice!"

They look nice?!
