My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 201

Noticing my gaze, he coughed. "From now on, we'll go out to have a walk every day."

I nodded and asked, "What other books did you buy?"

He thought about the answer for a second before he said, "Just some books Josiah had recommended to me." He simply put it in a sentence, then he urged, "The rain stopped. Go upstairs and get a thicker coat."

"You were serious?" I didn't want to walk outside with him.

Hendrix nodded, and his eyes showed his determination. "I'll wait for you here."

He left me no choice but to go with him. I reluctantly trod upstairs to get a coat and headed out with him. The villas in Flora Hill were quite far away from one another.

Its purpose was to reserve enough green space for each villa. As a result, the neighborhood was huge.

Holding Hendrix's arm, I walked with him for a while before I began to feel tired to walk further. I stopped in my tracks and looked over at him. "Can we go home? We've been walking for a while now."

"It's not even ten minutes!" He was stern. "You need to walk for at least an hour."

Because of the rain earlier, the road was a little wet. The air was warm and humid, and the dim streetlamps cast shadows on the ground. The landscape was quite cozy. But I was a little too lazy to walk.

However, I was forced to follow him and continue to walk. We had nothing to talk about, so the only ones making sounds during our walk were the chirping birds.

I looked at where I stepped as we continued to stroll on. Then, a question popped up in my mind, and I asked, "Hendrix, what should we name the child?" My due date was only a few months away.

Hendrix lowered his eyes and pondered for a while. Then he squinted at me and asked, "What do you think about Ariel?"

Carol named me Arianna back then because I was adorable when she found me. She hoped that I would be innocent and gentle when I grew up, so she chose that name from the Bible.

I turned to look at Hendrix. "Ariel, the lion of God. Are you hoping that she'll turn out to be brave and courageous in the future?"

He smiled softly, "You can put it that way." "But it's a feminine name. What if the child is a boy?" I didn't ask about the baby's gender in the past few prenatal checkups. So, we didn't know if the baby was a boy or a girl.

The shadow of the trees scattered on the ground. He answered, "We'll think about it when he's born."

The corner of my lips twitched. I chided him, "Hendrix, you value girls more than boys!"

He put his hand around my waist and smiled, "I can't help it. It's our family's tradition."

I rolled my eyes at him and stopped talking.

After walking for so long, I really couldn't walk anymore on the way back. Therefore, I simply squatted down by the road and threw a pebble at him. "Hendrix, I can't walk any farther! You go back by yourself." He looked down at me, and he seemed like he didn't know what to do with my fit. "It's only been half an hour."

Using the umbrella as a cushion, I sat on the ground and looked up at him. "I can't even walk for one more step," My back was sore. It was safe to say that being pregnant s*cked.

Hendrix squatted beside me and, hand-tied, offered help, "Come on."

Judging from his pose, he looked like he was going to carry me on his back.

I was startled, and I shook my head. "It'll hurt the baby."

He held his forehead. "Then I'll carry you with my arms."

I nodded and grinned. "Sure!"

However, the way back home wasn't short. I looked at Hendrix, hesitated. "But it's still so far away from home. Are you sure you can carry me home?" "Well let's just stay here then."

I got up quickly and wrapped my arms around his neck. Smiling sweetly at him, I urged, "Let's go!"

He picked me up and walked in the direction of the villa without a word. Observing his expression, I chuckled and asked, "Am I heavy?"

Hendrix worked out a lot. Hence, I knew that he was strong enough to carry me. Usually, I wouldn't worry whether he would be able to hold me.
