My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 1369

I was stunned. I realized he had not been bullsh*tting all along.

After a few seconds of silence, I replied, "Alright then."

Through his reply, I could feel him smirking. "I thought you'd decline," he said. "I'll send you the address in a bit. Don't be late. I'd feel upset if you do."

After hanging up, I tried calling Hendrix once again. Fortunately, the call was connected. It was a bit noisy at his end like there were many vehicles around him.

"Hendrix, has anything gone wrong at your end?"

"I'm stuck in a traffic jam," He said hurriedly. "No worries. I've spoken to Mr. Moore. He won't be heading to Asherton anytime soon. So, don't worry."

I heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Alright then. Fetch him to the hospital. I'll call my mom to let her know so that she would stop worrying."

I hung up on Hendrix. Then, I called Valerie.

The address that Sebastian sent was just a stone’ s throw away from where I was. I did not drive over. Instead, I took a taxi. The destination was a teahouse.

The place seemed like a private residence from the outside. Had the waiter not come over and greeted me, I would not have realized that I had arrived. I followed him into the tea room.

Sebastian was there, clad in a casual blue sweater. The indoor heating system was set quite high. He put his coat on the tatami. When he saw me, he smiled and said, "Please, have a seat. Let's enjoy this tea together!"

I pursed my lips and sat down opposite him. Not in a rush to speak, he busied himself with brewing tea. Then he passed me a porcelain teacup and said, "Smell the fragrance!"

I lifted the teacup and sniffed it. There was a strong aroma of green tea which was tinged with sweetness. As I saw him smiling at me, I put the teacup on the table and said, "It' s fragrant, indeed!"
