My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 188

It was getting late, and I was exhausted. However, I couldn't fall asleep even after lying in bed for a long while. I got used to sleeping with Monique.

Being alone in the huge bed increased the void in me. The windows were whistling from the wind.

The wind gusted, and it began to rain cats and dogs. Rain in the summer always came without warning.

I couldn't sleep. Glancing at the clock on the wall, it was one o'clock at night. I was getting irked. Hence, I put on my night robe and stood on the balcony.

Since I was caught in the rain on the balcony last time, Hendrix got someone to renovate the balcony so that the rain couldn't come in, and I could only feel the chill wind.

However, it didn't calm me. I was so annoyed to the point that I felt suffocated. So, I simply went down the stairs and headed to the yard.

Minnie had planted a lot of flowers in the yard of the villa. The flowers were crushed by the big rain droplets, which seemed to fit the current situation.

I couldn't help but feel as though I was these flowers. In a trance, I walked into the rain to stand in the middle of the yard.

Summer clothes were thin, so I was wet to the skin just for a short while. The rain wasn't cold. I felt refreshed standing in the rain. Yet I couldn't help but still feel upset, so I crouched down, letting the tears stream down my cheeks.

People had to work off their negative emotions. Thus, I decided to take advantage of the rain to have a good cry.

I had been crying in the rain for quite some time when Minnie found me. Holding the umbrella, she desperately tried to pull me back to the villa. However, she was old. There was nothing she could do if I didn't want to move.

Distressed, she left an umbrella with me, and she ran back into the villa. When she came back out, she put a raincoat on me, and she soothed, "Arianna, you can't torment yourself like this. Even if you don't care about yourself, you should think of your child. What if something happens to the baby?"

I couldn't listen to what she said at all. I was on my knees, and I couldn't stop crying. I just wanted to work off all my grievances and pain.

Although the summer rain wasn't cold, I was with a child after all. No matter how healthy I was, staying in the rain for an hour wasn't a smart move.

Suddenly, my head spun.
