My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 42

After noticing that I was seated, the trio walked over to my table and sat down. Andrea's expression

changed when she noticed me but she did not speak. After all, it was a table for four.

Andrea rushed over and sat next to me before Hendrix could. She looked at me sweetly while asking,

"Arianna, is it okay if I sit next to you?"

Could I possibly refuse her?

No, I could not!

Therefore, I kept quiet.

"What did you order?" Hendrix asked. He took the menu from the waiter and gazed at me.

I replied, "Some snacks and a bowl of soup."

He nodded and lowered his head to place a few orders. Austin pursued his lips and uttered, "Hendrix,

don't order for me. I don't have an appetite."

Hendrix nodded and handed the menu back to the waiter.

The trio began to chat and I could not catch up with any of the topics. Thus, I decided to keep my

mouth shut.

Shortly after, the waiter came back with a bowl of soup. It was pumpkin soup. As soon as the waiter

placed it on the table, Hendrix pushed the soup to Andrea and urged in a magnetic voice, "I ordered

this for you. It'll warm you up."

Andrea was delighted. She chuckled and said, "Hendrix, you know me well. I love pumpkin soup!"

Their behaviors pained me.

Hendrix liked Andrea, so he would pay attention to details about her. He was so gentle and sweet to

her but I would never be treated the same.

"Arianna, what did you order? Why don't we share this together? The pumpkin soup here is very

delicious. Back then, Hendrix often brought me here." As Andrea spoke, she pushed the bowl to me.

I shook my head and pushed it back to her. I replied smilingly, "I've ordered just now. It should be ready

soon.'¹

Andrea did not pester and continued to chat with the two men. The topics still revolved around things

that I was unsure of.

A few moments later, all the dishes were served. Andrea noticed that I had ordered pumpkin soup too,

hence she beamed innocently and uttered, "Arianna, do you also like pumpkin soup? I'll tell you a

secret. Hendrix makes delicious soup!"

She approached me and edged closer to my ear while speaking. I did not like close contact, therefore, I

frowned and leaned away.

"Oh no!" Without a warning, my bowl of pumpkin soup spilled all over me. I had barely even had a few

mouthfuls.

The soup was hot and I shot to my feet reflexively. Unexpectedly, I bumped into Andrea who had

leaned close to me and she cried out in pain.

I did not have the time to apologize. I reached out to grab some tissues and wiped away the soup on

my leg. Hendrix had rushed me when I was changing my clothes, thus I was only wearing a thin dress.

Immediately, the hot soup drenched the dress and scalded my skin.

After a while, I had wiped dry the soup on my body. I raised my head and noticed that Hendrix was

kneeling in front of Andrea, gently cleaning the blood from her nose.

Earlier, I had gotten up hurriedly and had probably bumped into Andrea's nose. Therefore...

Austin took the tissues and handed them to Hendrix. He then frowned at me and snapped furiously,

"Miss Reid, are you blind?"

I was taken aback and did not know what to say.

I glanced at Andrea's red, swollen eyes and her injured nose. I suppressed my sadness and said to This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

her, "Miss Burton, I'm sorry!"

I didn't even touch the bowl. Andrea was the closest to me. Apart from her, I could not think of another

troublemaker who would push the soup to me.

"It's fine, Arianna. You should be more careful next time." After Andrea finished speaking, she turned to

Hendrix tearfully and continued, "Hendrix, the soup is spilled and I don't feel like eating anymore. Can

you go on a walk with me?"
