My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1571

"I see," I replied. Looking at his stagnant face, my lips curled up into a smile.

After being together for so many years, I still had some understanding of Hendrix.

His good appearance and outstanding business talents had attracted lots of women. Other than those beautiful faces and high-flying businesswomen, there had also been ladies from wealthy families pining after him. However, in the end, their efforts were all in vain. Hendrix probably didn't even remember their faces. When it came to his subordinates, most of the time, he didn't even seem to give much notice to them, and Estella was no exception.

However, it didn't mean Estella wasn't falling in love with Hendrix. I made up my mind to personally urge Evan to come back quickly.

Everyone had the right to pursue whatever they wanted in their life. However, once they realized that they were pursuing the wrong thing, they should be stopped in time.

I was really worried that history would repeat itself. Andrea had been so obsessed with Hendrix. Apart from her personality, the other reason was that she had spent too much time and energy on Hendrix. She wouldn't have been satisfied if she didn't achieve what she desired. With the mixture of depressed feelings and hesitant emotions, her mind had been distorted day after day.

Estella was a smart person. She could help Hendrix at work. However, she might have ulterior motives. I didn't want to embarrass her that much. I was hoping that Evan would come back, and let her be aware of the reality.

After the worries in my heart were dispelled, I went to sit beside Hendrix to keep him company as he was eating.

Hendrix paused and tilted his head to look at me. After a moment of thought, he put down his utensils and said, "It's getting late now. Let's go home."

He then picked up the coat next to him, pulled me up and walked out.

I felt confused at that moment. As we were leaving the office, I asked, "What about your work?"

"Forget it," Hendrix replied. He seemed to be very anxious. He held my hand while walking out of the office. When we passed Estella, she stood up to greet us. However, he was walking faster and faster as if he didn't hear her.

Hendrix seemed to be a little excited when we reached the elevator. He kept staring at the elevator's floor with his dark eyes, but I couldn't tell what he was thinking.

After getting into the car, I fastened my seat belt and couldn't help asking him, "Is anything wrong?"

"Yes," Hendrix replied. He held the steering wheel with a serious expression. "A trivial matter, very troublesome," he replied.

I frowned while looking at him with even more confusion. "How can a trivial matter be troublesome?" I asked.

However, Hendrix did not say anything else. He stepped heavily on the accelerator all the way and arrived home in less than half an hour.

Minnie welcomed us at the door upon hearing the commotion. "Mr. Roberts and Mrs. Roberts, you're back," she said.

"Yes," Hendrix answered perfunctorily, and then pulled me upstairs. Minnie was puzzled upon seeing that.

As soon as we entered the room, Hendrix pressed me against the wall, and kicked the door closed with his foot. He then leaned over and kissed me. The way he kissed was very aggressive, and my breathing soon quickened.

Hendrix's unusual behavior had really overwhelmed me. Before losing my sanity, I tried my best to stay sober and pushed him away. I placed my hands on his violently pumping chest to keep myself away from him. I was gasping heavily while asking, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you say that you have something to deal with?"

Hendrix was panting as well. There seemed to be a fire of passion burning in his eyes. His Adam's apple was moving up and down, as if he was going to devour me. "I'm busy dealing with it now," he said. "What?" I asked. I didn't really understand.

"Remember the medical check-up this morning?"

"Yes," I nodded as I said. After that, I recalled that the details of our medical check-up were quite different. I immediately blushed. I bit my lips and teased him, "So you've been enduring it for the whole day?" Hendrix's eyes darkened. He then carried me and walked into the bedroom...
