My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 947

"Yes!" Hendrix nodded and replied in a low, formidable tone, "Miss Duncan, you can leave now!"

With these words spoken, an uncertain atmosphere lingered in the air. Dahlia's smile became even more malicious.

"So you're in love with a young married woman, Mr. Roberts!" She said casually, as if she was joking.

Then, she looked at me, "Arianna, let's go. We're good friends. If Naomi and the others know that you're together with Mr. Roberts, Mr. Milton might too. That'll be bad, don't you think?"

I felt uncomfortable at this. I couldn't help but frown. "Do you ever think before speaking?"

"You..." She was a little angry, but she probably didn't think it was right to show it then.

I pulled Hendrix's hand away from my waist. I said, "It's getting late. I should go back!"

Hendrix did not loosen his grip. Instead, he clenched tighter and furrowed his brows slightly. "Mr. Milton?"

Looks like I wouldn't escape being the center of attention. Everyone was looking at me differently now.

I felt a little uncomfortable. It was fine if Hendrix knew, but the other people present were not worth it. I was afraid that they'd think I was an already married woman who was just out to seduce him.

I felt a flash of anger. "Hendrix Roberts! Are you done yet?"

I'd said it too loudly. The other people who'd looked away before were all looking at us this time.

I didn't care about his hand tugging at me, and used all the strength I could muster to stand up. It'd be fine if I just fell.

But he seemed to know what I was going to do, and stood up along with me.

Looking at the others, he spoke, "Everyone, thank you for your hospitality today. It's getting late, I'll leave first."
