My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 213

At that moment, I didn't think I should interfere in their affair. I hesitated for a second before returning to the bedroom.

Unexpectedly, I heard Hendrix shouted, "Come downstairs and eat if you're done washing up!"

I peeped downstairs and caught Hendrix looking at me softly. Next to him, Andrea glared at me with her now teary and swollen eyes.

I let out a silent sigh as I went downstairs, sneaking into the dining hall.

Coming from the living room, Andrea intentionally spoke loudly, "Arianna is just an orphan. She has nothing at all. She won't be able to help you with anything when Roberts Group expands in the future. But I can. I have support from my mom and the Moore Family. These are the resources that will favor the Roberts Group."

Well, Andrea wasn't wrong. We weren't the ruler of the world. At the end of the day, we would still need to rely on our social connections and resources no matter how successful or outstanding we were. It would be beneficial If he had Valerie and Pedro's support.

The noodles tasted blunt, and I slowly lost my appetite. I rested my head on my hand and listened to the conversation. "Andrea, if I can leave my wife and child for all the advantages from you, I'd do the same and leave you for someone more useful in the future."

"I don't care!" Andrea choked with sobs. "I love you, and I won't stop you from leaving if you found someone better in the future!"

Hendrix became slightly annoyed as he replied, "But I do. I'll only marry one person in my whole life, who is Arianna."

"But you don't even love her!" Andrea shouted back at the top of her lungs. "A marriage without love wouldn't work! You and the child are going to suffer because of this!"

Hendrix frowned even more, and he replied to her coldly, "Andrea, this is my marriage, and it's a matter between Arianna and me. You shouldn't interfere. In the past, I looked after you merely because Casper had entrusted you to me. Now, you have found your loving birth parents. You have a good life now. While I have my own family and people I need to take care of."

He paused for a while and continued, "I need you to behave and watch your tongue. Don't do or say things that would harm my family. If you can't do that, I guess there's no reason for us to meet anymore in the future."

"No reason for us to meet anymore?" Andrea choked up and asked in disbelief, "Hendrix, don't tell me that you're in love with her?"

I was perplexed to hear everything that he just said to Andrea. Hendrix was a man of his word, and I could tell that he no longer treats her the same as before.

An even bigger surprise, Hendrix answered without hesitation, "Yes!"

He said he was in love with me.

Andrea shrilled, "That's impossible! Just because she has been married to you for the past two years and got pregnant, that doesn't mean you're in love. That's not being in love! You're just feeling guilty paired with responsibility!"

Hendrix wasn't an eloquent person. Seeing that Andrea was in a rage, he remained composed and said, "Andrea, stop it now. Austin will see you back."

Probably worried that Andrea would disturb me, Hendrix lowered his voice further and asked Andrea to leave. It didn't take long for Austin to arrive at the villa.

Unable to control her emotions, Andrea was half-dragged by Austin as they left the villa.

I was almost done with my breakfast when Hendrix came to the dining room. He pinched his brows, looking slightly haggard by now. He looked at me and asked, "Do you like the breakfast?" I nodded, "Did you sleep well last night?"
