My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1719

I felt helpless but amused at the same time. I pushed him back into the room and said, "I know. I wouldn't dare hide anything from you. But, you'd better calm down and listen to my plan first..." Ten minutes later, after hearing my plan, Aaron rubbed his chin in thought.

Seeing that he did not respond for a long time, I gently shoved him and said, "What do you think? Do you think it will work?"

Aaron raised his eyes and cast me a meaningful glance. Then, just as he was about to talk, his cellphone in his pocket rang. After taking a look at it, he smiled and handed the phone over to me. "Why don't you tell your guardian this plan?"

My guardian? I didn't know who he was talking about. Did he mean Valerie or Pedro?

I took the phone from him and glanced at the caller's name on the screen, labeled "Hendrix the Jerk", which almost made me laugh.

"Aaron! What are you doing? Why did you give Hendrix such a name?"

Aaron shrugged his shoulders and did not answer.

He got up and went to the balcony to smoke.

I shook my head and answered the phone. "Hello, it's me."

The other line was quiet. I didn't know if he had heard my voice. So I asked again, "Hendrix? Can you hear me?"

There was still no response from him. I felt strange, so I took the cell phone and checked it to confirm that the call was still connected. Then I put it back to my ear and thought that maybe Hendrix's signal was not good, so I had to wait for a while.

Aaron came back into the room with a cigarette in his hand. Then, noticing that I was silent, he asked, "What are you two talking about? Why do you look so serious?"

I shrugged and said, "There's no answer, maybe his signal is not good."

Aaron blinked, showing his disbelief. Then he grabbed the cellphone and put it against his ear. He then looked at me with a mocking laugh. "You'd better think about how to apologize to him." "Hm?" I was completely confused. "Did he reply you?"

Aaron nodded. "Uh-huh."

I was astonished for a moment, and then I realized something. Hendrix was willing to forgive me putting myself in danger as long as I was safe and sound, but now that I had been injected with some unknown substance, he was angry at me and certainly wouldn't let this matter go easily.

Looking at the phone, I wanted to cry.

I'd finally managed to coaxAaron, but now I had to deal with Hendrix as well.

Putting the phone back to my ear, I adjusted my mood and said seriously, "Mr. Roberts, I have deeply reflected on my mistakes. I promised that I would never make more mistakes in the future. So please be open-minded and give me another chance."

Silence remained. Hendrix was much more furious than Aaron.

"Then tell me, what do you want? As long as you are not angry and talk nicely, I am willing to do anything." I replied cautiously. "Ahem--" Aaron pretended to clear his throat and gloated. "Pay attention to what you said. Don't do any appropriate stuff!"

I rolled my eyes at him and he finally stopped.

Hendrix finally replied. His voice was a little hoarse. "Ask Aaron to go to the pet store to buy a collar and leash tomorrow."

"Huh? Do you want a pet? Are you getting a cat or a dog?"

"It's for you."

I was bewildered. Looking at Aaron's suggestive glance, my face turned red and started to burn. Finally, I turned away from him and covered the microphone with my hand. I gritted my teeth and agreed. "I don' object to that. But aren't there stores that sell this kind of stuff? Is it necessary to go to the pet store?"

Men always liked trying new things. It was understandable, but such a private thing shouldn't be discussed on the phone so casually.

"What are you talking about?" Hendrix asked dryly. "Didn't you say that you are willing to do anything? Next time, you'll wear a collar, and I'll put you on a leash, like an obedient pet. That's the only way you'll stay out of trouble."

"That's what you meant..." The burning sensation instantly crept from my neck to the back of my ear. I was completely embarrassed.
