My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 853

Fortunately, the two men didn't talk too much nonsense and followed me, one in front of me and another behind me.

"Where are we going?" an emotionless cold voice sounded. It was accented but loud enough for everyone to be able to hear it clearly.

The two men stopped, and I looked over as well. It was the man whom I had just seen in front of the grave.

"F*ck, who the f*ck are you? Mind your own business," The two men burst out swearing and said rudely.

The man smiled faintly, but his gaze was still as cold and sharp as before, "It's broad daylight now. Aren't you two being too conspicuous?"

"It's none of your business," the two men were really arrogant.

"Since you're inviting someone over, you should always have proper etiquette. If you take people away in such a rude and blatant manner, could I say that you're disturbing the public order and intentionally hurting others?" the man said, pulling his coat casually with a cold face.

Feeling that he was being nosy, the duo didn't say anything else and went forward, deciding to beat him up.

They probably didn't expect that the tall and thin man to be such a good fighter. The two strong men were at a disadvantage after a few moves. They looked at him in embarrassment and warned, "You'd better not poke your nose into other people's business."

The man nodded and said, "Well, I seldom poke my nose into other people's businesses, but I can't ignore it once I encounter it. I'm nosy that way."

"F*ck!" Probably knowing that they were no match for him, the two men threw the tied-up Evan out of the car.

Then, they drove away.

I busily untied the ropes for Evan. Once I was done, I got up and prepared to thank him, but the man had already left.

Without thinking too much into it, I looked at Evan and asked lightly, "Are you okay?"

He shook his head, got into the car, and drove directly to the airport.

Hendrix had always arranged bodyguards to protect me in Jarold City. However, he only asked Evan to come with me since I only planned to be in Ucrebury for a few days.

That day's incident was an accident. With my safety not guaranteed, Evan was a vigilant man, so he naturally didn't allow me to stay in Ucrebury for too long.

Therefore, he instantly booked a flight back to Jarold City.

It was already eleven o'clock at night when we arrived at Jarold City. Anne had fallen asleep, and Evan held her in his arms.

As soon as I exited the airport and before I could realize what was going on, I was pulled into an embrace and held tightly.

I realized that the person was Hendrix when I whiffed in the familiar scent. I guessed that Evan had already told him about the things that had happened at the cemetery.

We didn't say anything. After getting in the car, he asked Evan to head home to have a good rest, and we headed back to the villa in the eastern suburbs.

Back in the villa, he placed Anne on the bed and held me tightly in his arms when we returned to the bedroom while looking at me with a meaningful gaze.

He said, "I missed you so much." The way an adult expressed his love was different from that of a child.

Children would tell you that they missed you straightforwardly, but adults would only tell you that the moon was beautiful that night.

I looked up at him and said with a smile, "That's not romantic at all."

He said with a faint smile, "Then, what should I say?"

I thought for a moment and agreed that it would be awkward if Hendrix told me that 'The moon is beautiful tonight' instead of directly confessing his love. Maybe it was better for him to say that he missed me straightforwardly.

I smiled and said while holding him, "I missed you too."

Actually, there was no need to say romantic words to each other. We could understand each other's thoughts just by looking into each other's eyes, saying that we missed our other half.

We laid down in bed after taking a shower. I couldn't hold back anymore when I realized that he had not mentioned the things that had happened in Ucrebury at all.

Laying on his arm, I told him honestly, "I met a man with an icy aura at Grandmother's grave. He saved us today, but I don't know his name."
