My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 369

Irvin called to ask when I would be leaving.

I thought for a moment and said, "Maybe after two or three days. I'll wait till things with Fantasia are settled. The rest will fall into place later."

He paused for a moment and said, "Are you going to the countryside to visit Monique?"

I was surprised that he knew but then I remembered that I may have mentioned it to him before.

The other end of the line fell silent again before he finally spoke, "Have you contacted her?"

I shook my head and said, "No, I haven't been able to get through to her. Ian has been answering all the calls I made so I'm going there to have a look."

"I'll go with you!" Irvin wasn't asking to go with me but stating that he'd go with me.

I couldn't help but to refuse. "No. Ian will be there. Everything will be fine."

"Arianna!" He spoke in a low voice, "Give Ian a call first so that your trip down would not be in vain."

I paused. "How did you know that the trip would be in vain? I haven't contacted Ian, but it should be fine. The last time I spoke to Ian, he said that he would stay with Monique and take care of her."

"Don't rush things. If they headed back to Ucrebury or have gone to other cities, you'll know where to find them if you give them a call, won't you?"

I could only nod my head in agreement as what Irvin said was right. "Fine. Sure."

I heard the sound of the engine coming from the front yard, I paused and said on the phone, "I've got to go. I'll hang up first!"

As soon as I hung up the phone, Hendrix walked in. Seeing the packed breakfast in front of me, he could not help but to frown. "Who are you going to give that to?"

I paused for a moment and said, "No one. I plan to head out so I asked the caretaker to pack it."

He frowned. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to look for Monique and Ian." I placed the packed breakfast in a bag feeling that it may look a little excessive to give him such an excuse.
