My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 192

Seeing that Minnie was in a panic, I put all the plums in my hands into the basket and chuckled. "It's all right. There are only a few left. I'll come down after I pick them all."

After I finished plucking the plums, I rested my hands on Hendrix's head. "I'm done. You can put me down now."

Minnie stood by our side, holding the basket. Her face was full of worries. "You are too fearless! Do you know how dangerous it is?"

Hendrix worked out regularly, so he had no problem lifting me up or putting me down only by holding on to my waist.

I came to the ground and was surprised to see sweats on his forehead. I giggled and asked, "Why are you sweating? Am I that heavy?"

He spat the plum seeds in his mouth. Looking at me, he smiled faintly and asked in return, "I was carrying two people on my shoulders. What do you think?"

I didn't expect him to reply like that, and subconsciously, I rubbed my belly. It did seem to have increased in size recently.

At this time, Hendrix's cell phone rang. Seeing him leave the yard with the phone, I took the basket from Minnie and went into the living room.

I put the plums into the basin and soaked them with saltwater. I caught myself looking out at the yard several times, and I felt uncomfortable.

Since he had to avoid me before answering the phone, it should be a call from Andrea.

To some extent, the human would do things out of their control. Without warning, I knocked over the basin of plums that were soaking in water.

And I did it on purpose.

Hearing the noises, Minnie rushed into the kitchen in a hurry. She quickly glimpsed at the mess on the floor, then her eyes came back to me, and she asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you hurt?"

I shook my head and glanced at Hendrix, who was behind Minnie, with a poker face. He walked over, scanning me from head to toes, and he let out a sigh of relief when he saw that I was fine. "What happened?"
