My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1807

"Ha..." Hendrix was secretly pleased with this and swiftly pecked me in the ear when I wasn't paying attention. He then loosened his grip and took a step back.

In that instant, my face burned uncontrollably. I quickly reached out to stop him. I noticed that Hendrix enjoyed my reaction, so I rolled my eyes and warned him, "Don't laugh!"

I was still mad at him!

The corners of Hendrix's mouth curled up, but he quickly calmed down and composed himself, "I have to be on guard all the time in front of others. I'm already so exhausted, yet I still have to suppress my feelings towards my wife?"

I tidied up my clothes and looked at him indifferently, "Is there a difference? Anyway, your ability to conceal secrets is top notch. Hiding secrets from one more person shouldn't be any trouble for you." Hendrix frowned, "Are you still mad about Josiah?"

I smiled and went to the sink to fix my makeup, "Maybe you ought to take a good look at your friend. He talked about getting a paternity test and was ready to sue me for custody."

Hendrix looked a little helpless when he heard that, he then said, "He already explained that to me. He hadn't expected you to discover him in such a short time. The night after he was exposed, he saw the transfer application and knew that you were trying to stop him from seeing Anne. He got anxious, which is why he used such a foolish method. In fact, you knew he would. He didn't even know that since he has a history of hurting Anne, there was no chance of him ever gaining custody."

Sometimes I think Hendrix should be writing speeches. Every word he said was so provocative.

Although I still insisted that Josiah would never change, his words weakened my stance, "Perhaps, only time can prove which of us is right."

When he saw me giving in, Hendrix strode forward and wrapped his arms around me. His heavy head rested on my shoulder, and his face was buried in my hair. He took a deep breath, as if he had come back to life, and held me tighter.

"There's a lively birthday celebration outside, but you're hiding in the bathroom. Is this appropriate?" I joked.

Hendrix moved in closer and said, "I don't know when I'll ever fall asleep with my wife in my arms again, so I want to cherish this."

He was simply irresistible with his handsome face. I pursed my lips and said, "Milleon isn't as simple as I thought. Check his background and see if he's an enemy or a friend."

"Mhm..." Hendrix responded in a deep voice. He rested his entire body on me as though he had fallen asleep. I didn't know if he heard me.

Looking at the two of us hugging each other in the mirror, I suddenly felt uneasy.

Since when did we, who have been together for ten years, have to sneak around for a hug?

Though I sighed emotionally, I'd wasted too much time here. If I didn't head out right now, the others would be suspicious of me. So after tidying up my clothes, I walked out the door. Coincidentally, I ran into Serene and Tyler, who were walking towards me.

My feet paused for a moment. If I had walked over right now, and if Hendrix had come out later, these two would have been smart enough to guess that we'd been together.

Just then, the sound of a door opening came from behind me, and the sound of Serene's high heels approached from my front. I turned around without hesitation.

After confirming that the two people behind me had seen me, I walked straight towards Hendrix. Without any explanation, I forced him towards the wall, grabbed the collar of his shirt, and stood on my tiptoes to kiss his cold lips.
