My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 348

She was stunned for a moment and then left without saying anything.

My temper seemed to be getting worse and I've grown much more impatient.

After Minnie left, I sat in the hall and was in a daze for a while. I glanced at the clock and saw that it was already twelve midnight.

"Hendrix has been out so late. Is he planning to stay over at the Granger family home?"

After a short pause, I went into the kitchen and wanted to boil some water to drink. I took out my phone and looked at it. There was not a single message.

With a slight whistle, the water began to boil. I reached out to lift the kettle, and suddenly, I was scalded by water vapor.

I instinctively retracted my hand and stared blankly at the kettle. After a long pause, I took out my cell phone.

In a moment of hesitation, a noise came from the gate.

Was he home?

I pursed my lips, took the kettle to the living room, and poured two glasses of water.

It was probably raining outside. Hendrix entered the house with a chill trailing close behind, and his coat was wet.

He hung the coat by the door and saw that I was still in the living room. He frowned and asked, "Can't sleep?"

I nodded and looked at him calmly, "Uncle Granger, is he alright?"

He was stunned and frowned, "Did Irvin tell you?"

I shook my head and said calmly, "Uncle Granger had always been in poor health."

"Hmm," he said and walked towards me. "Are you worried that I won't come back?"

I shook my head and felt a little thirsty. I raised my hand to get the glass of water with an unsteady hand. I ended up spilling the water on my thigh.

I gnashed my teeth at the burning sensation on my skin from the hot water.

Hendrix took a few steps forward, picked me up, and went into the bathroom. He helped me wash it with cold water.

He frowned, "Did you drink?"

My mind went blank for a second, then I nodded.
