My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 300

I took the napkin and wiped the spot for him. However, there were still some traces left.

I looked at Irvin and in embarrassment, "I don't think I can wipe it clean."

He flicked my forehead with his fingers and said with a smile, "Looks like I can only clean it when we're home then."

I nodded. That was the only thing that could be done at the moment.

I was feeling much better after eating and taking a stroll around the mall.

Seeing that it was almost dusk, we decided to head back to the suburbs. Heading towards the parking lot of the shopping mall, Irvin went straight to take the car while I stood under the setting sun in a daze, waiting for him near the exit.

Autumnal evening sunshine wasn't as hot as the summer sun, but I still felt dizzy after being exposed to the sun for too long.

"Ian, you really suck at reverse parking. Do you know that?"

I recognized the voice in an instant. My body went stiff, and I wanted to turn around to take a look.

But I stopped myself. Then, I heard another voice - Ian's. He quipped, "Watch where you walk! You're going to be a mother soon. Can't you be a little more reliable?"

"Of course not!"

As I listened to their voices, Irvin's car came over. He saw Ian and Monique too, and he also noticed that I wasn't looking well.

He frowned and asked, "Do you want to meet them?"

I shook my head, got into the car, and I said, "Let's go."

I looked deathlike at the moment, and I would only make them worry if I went up to them in this condition. It would be better to meet later when I felt better.

Irvin glimpsed at me, but he didn't comment on my decision. Instead, he drove directly back to the villa in the suburbs.

On the way, looking at the fleeting sceneries, I was deep in my thoughts.

I heard Irvin sighed faintly, and he said, "Only you can help yourself to walk out of the pain."

I kept quiet. I knew that I could only make peace with the grief on my own. No one else could help me.
