My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1591

I smiled gratefully at Silvia and responded, "Thank you, Silvia."

lan was half a year older than me, so he was indeed my elder brother. It wasn't inappropriate for me to address Silvia by her first name.

"It's nothing," Silvia said with a faint smile.

Since they weren't going abroad, I thought they should at least leave an address, so I asked, "Is the clinic still in Ucrebury?"

Before I could even finish my question, lan turned around to play with Anne, as if he had the means to avoid me. Silvia was quick-witted to uphold the surrounding atmosphere and explained to me patiently, "It's in Jarold City. Ian said it would be convenient for us to take care of my parents."

I nodded. Ian had a strong sense of responsibility since he was a child. There was no doubt that he would care for the whole family.

lan's phone rang as soon as Silvia finished speaking. He went outside to pick up the phone. When he came back, he said that he had an urgent affair to deal with. Ian then took Silvia by her hand and left immediately.

When they had left, only did I remember that they didn't leave a specific address. I hurriedly fished out my phone and texted lan on WhatsApp.

A red exclamation mark popped out on the chat box. I gasped as chillness enveloped me to the core.

lan, he blocked me.

In disbelief, I sent another emoji, but the notification I received was still the same.

"You're not friends with this user. Please send a friend request."

Looking at lan's chatbox, I felt that the warmth on my body subsided all of a sudden, and my body slightly trembled.

How was that possible?

I didn't even know when this happened.

"What's wrong, Arianna?" Raiya's voice sounded from the side. Only then did I regained my senses as I forced myself to remain calm, saying, "It's nothing."

Raiya was an innocent person, and she believed it at once. She said to herself while stirring the cup of hot chocolate milk in front of her, "Arianna, your friend and his wife seem so sweet. I kind of envy them. If I could have known Sawyer earlier, our relationship would have been like theirs."

Feeling uneasy, I put my phone back into my pocket and gave a perfunctory reply. "Your relationship with Sawyer is not bad either. You just got married, and you're already pregnant. It makes me envy you two."

Speaking of it, Raiya's expression changed drastically all of a sudden, and she immediately switched the subject.

I was still thinking about lan, so I didn't press on. After hanging around for a little while, I made up an excuse and left.

I had been staring at the red exclamation mark on WhatsApp in a daze since I got home. When Hendrix came back, I didn't even notice his presence until I felt a blanket covering my shoulder. When I turned around, I found him bending down and had been standing behind me for a while.

"You're back," I said. Then I turned off my phone and carefully put it back into my pocket.

But Hendrix still noticed it. After sitting down, he took my hand and fiddled with it as he tried to casually bring it up. "Did you run into lan?"

Judging from Hendrix's tone, he wasn't surprised that lan had returned from abroad.

"You knew he was back?" I frowned and felt a little nervous.

Hendrix looked up at me. His gaze was gentle as

he let out a long sigh. He used his hand to smooth out the frown between my brows and then said slowly, "I just found out. I haven't thought of how I should let you know, and you've already run into each other."

I was a little annoyed. "You should have told me earlier."

Otherwise, I would not have been put in such a difficult situation that I couldn't even talk a little more in front of lan.

It was true that I really didn't blame lan. I didn't have the confidence to ask him for forgiveness, just like how I had hesitated for a few hours, but still didn't send out the friend request.

After I said that, I knew that Hendrix wasn't the one to blame. I collapsed on the couch dejectedly as if I was jelly. I then slid along the edge of the couch and half knelt on the carpet, throwing myself on the table before burying my head in it to vent my anger. "Ah! I'm really useless!"

While throwing a tantrum, I couldn't hold back and feared up.
