My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 1019

"Are you acting up now?" A voice spoke.

I looked up and saw that the voice belonged to Hendrix. He stood not far away and was looking at me, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. I instinctively tried to stand up.

Then again, I thought there was no point trying to fix my image as he had already seen this side of me, so I gave up, tired.

Somewhat irritated, I said, "It's none of your business!"

He took a step forward, saying, "I'm not trying to butt into your business, but are you going to ruin these pears, that were picked through so much work?"

I pursed my lips, paused, and picked up the fruits that were covered in mud. I held it out to him and asked, "Are you satisfied?"

He looked as if he was holding back a smile.

He didn't take it, instead he just looked at me and said, "Get up then, Master Attwood is still waiting to eat these!"

After that, he left. He probably didn't even want to help me. My breath hitched for a moment. Did he come here just to watch me make a fool of myself?

I was completely covered in mud. When I arrived at the base, Hugo was sitting on the steps and resting. When he saw me, his jaw dropped.

"Miss Reid, did you fall into a trap?"

I pursed my lips in shame. "Sort of!"

Fortunately, he still had a sense of conscience. He held back his laughter and took the fruits from my hand, which were covered in dirt, and then walked off to wash them.

He looked back and said, "There is a bathroom over there at the base. You should hurry and take a wash. But you don't have any clothes with you, so if you don't mind, I could lend you mine for the time being!"

Aside from this solution, I couldn't think of any other way at the moment. What more could I do?
