My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 420

Honestly, Hendrix had probably never sweet-talked to me before. When I heard this, I could not help but look up at him. There was an incredibly bright gleam in his eyes as he looked back at me.

At that moment, my heart felt particularly warm.

"I saw snow outside in the yard today morning, so I was wondering how you slept last night in the hotel. After all, hotels aren't exactly home, and there's no heating or thick clothes. When I saw you just now, you looked haggard," I said this very softly.

Alas, he heard it all and a scratchy laughter sounded from his throat. "I'll be fine if you make it up to me at night!"

A blush colored my cheeks as I realized the meaning behind his words.

After that, we told Nerissa that we were heading out for dinner, and she didn't have any objections to that.

After all, Hendrix was here and he wanted to take me out. So, Nerissa couldn't say anything even if she wanted to.

After leaving the Granger Manor, Hendrix drove me to a Korean restaurant in the city center.

There were a lot of people at night. Fortunately, he chose a high- end area, so there the crowd was still tolerable.

The environment was elegant and quiet. After the waiter led us to our seats, Hendrix looked at me and said, "Aside from bibimbap, what else do you want to eat?"

Rubbing my chin, I looked down at the city below which was ablaze with lights. I couldn't help but say, "You can just order whatever, all's fine with me!"

He looked at me and saw that I was interested in the scenery outside the window, so he didn't ask any more questions. He ordered the dishes and looked at me. "What do you plan to do this New Year?"

He had been busy for so many days, and he looked exhausted.

When the food was served, he mixed the bibimbap and said, "Well, the only way to know is after the New Year. There's no hurry, so let's think about how to celebrate the New Year first."

His nonchalant attitude made me pause before I replied, "Doctor Saunders has always been responsible for the hospital. With something big like this happening, what did he say?"

"He's handling it," he replied indifferently. Then, he placed some meat on the grill and said, "Go keep Aunt Nerissa company for the next few days. I may have to go on a business trip tomorrow, but I'll be back in a few days."

I nodded and looked at him with my chin propped up in my hand. "It's going to be the New Year soon, yet you're still busy with work."

He smiled and raised his hand to ruffle my hair. "I'll make it up to you after all of this is over. Let's have a wedding ceremony next year. What kind of wedding do you want?"
