My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1061

"Huh! I'll make some marks on you later and see if you still think they look nice!" I retorted.

He smiled lightly, and his eyes darkened. "Well be in a hurry later. Let's do it at night instead. I'll cooperate willingly!"

I...

I was taken advantage of for no reason at all.

I ignored him, got a seat and sat down, then ordered some food.

Then, Rowane made an appearance as if she had planned it beforehand. Just when we were done ordering the dishes, she walked in dressed in a slick black dress. Her long legs were clad in boots, and she looked very striking.

"Mr. Roberts, Miss Reid, what a coincidence!"

Hendrix nodded and replied lightly, "Yes!" He then looked at me and said, "You must be very tired from last night. You should eat more to replenish your energy!"

When I heard this, I blushed and looked at the food in my bowl, and I couldn't help but blush even more.

Rowane wasn't stupid. Coupled with the fact that there were obvious love bites all over my neck, she realized what had happened and her face sank.

She suppressed her emotions, and continued calmly, "Mr. Roberts, Miss Reid, do you mind if I sit with you? I don't have anyone else with me."

I said, "I don't mind!"

But Hendrix said, "I do mind!"

We spoke simultaneously, but our answers were different.

"Oh! Sorry for disturbing you then!" Rowane walked away and found a new spot.

I looked at Hendrix and couldn't help frowning. "Why are you so unkind? It would be boring for her to eat alone. Having company makes it less awkward!" He raised his eyebrows. "I don't like others sitting next to me."

"Nonsense!" I rolled my eyes at him.

When I saw the okra served on the table, I moved it in front of him and said, "Eat more of this. It helps with your strength!"

His dark eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked. "Wasn't I already very strong... last night?"

"Ahem..." I spat out a sip of juice. Fortunately, the surrounding area was empty, so I had some space to compose myself.

He put a napkin in front of me, and fortunately, I grabbed it in time. Else, he would have definitely wiped my mouth for me!

After wiping my mouth, I looked up at him and said, "Hendrix, could you put your mind off such lewd matters while having your meal?"

He raised his eyebrows and said, "I was just asking casually. It was you who said I should improve my strength!"

I smacked my forehead in exasperation. "I said the okra is generally good for health and building strength. I did not ask you to eat it because you lack strength! Don't you get it?"

He nodded and shamelessly said, "So, you're complimenting me?"

I...

Indeed, sometimes, his mind was beyond my imagination.

If we continued talking about this, I presumed I would not be able to finish my meal!

So I shut up smartly. But he still elegantly finished all the okra.

Naomi then called me. "Are you all in Lancille Village? I'm so free. Can I come to hang out with you?"

I was speechless. "There was a burglary at the base! Do you think we'd have time to hang out with you?"

"It doesn't matter. I will come over and just follow you guys around. Anyway, we are all friends. I will go to see my grandfather as well. He asked me to invite you to dinner with him a few days ago. Do you have time tonight? Join us!"

Why did Ziglar invite me to dinner? I was a little confused. "Why did Master Attwood invite me to dinner?"

"Because I spoke to him about you. All my life, I did not make many friends. Hence, he wants me to bring my friends home for dinner!"

I nodded. I remembered that previously, while we had dinner at the hotel, Master Attwood mentioned my grandmother before. Perhaps, I could take the opportunity to ask him about my grandmother's past. I regained my senses and realized that Naomi could not see me nodding. So I replied, "Okay, see you later!"

After hanging up the phone, Hendrix looked at me and frowned slightly, "Naomi?"
