My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 484

Austin described the scenario in graphic detail, and the anxiety in his tone was vivid.

I held the phone to my ear as I stood on the balcony, irritated at what I was hearing. I mocked emotionlessly, "If he doesn't value himself, let him drink till he's dead!"

"Arianna..."

"Arianna, are you a woman or not?" The phone had been taken away from Austin and Hendrix was now speaking to me in a strong, nasally voice. It sounded like he was piss drunk.

"You don't know whether I'm a woman or not? Hendrix, you're drinking and babbling about your emotions in the middle of the night - do you think you're three years old?" I said, unaware that the phone was on speaker mode.

Austin exploded and called out Hendrix's name, dragging it out. It was obvious that he was teasing him.

Hendrix probably threw him a look, which was why the noise from the other side of the phone piped down a little.

I was really not in the mood to continue talking about these useless things with him. I added,

"Hendrix, if there's no reason to, don't call me. I'm hanging up!"

After that, I ended the call without waiting for him to speak.

Then, I immediately turned my phone off.

That night, I didn't sleep well either. I had nightmares throughout. I finally managed to fall into slumber as dawn approached. Then, Kelsey called.

Hearing that my voice was a little hoarse and tired, she couldn't help but ask, "Miss Reid, you didn't sleep well?"

I hummed in acknowledgment and said, "Send me the address. I'll go over in a moment!"

I had a terrible headache. I got up and sat by the bed for quite a while before I came back to my senses.

Hearing my voice, Kelsey paused and suggested, "How about this - I'll pick you up in a moment? You can continue to sleep for a while, and I'll bring you some breakfast when I get there later."

As I was just about to refuse, she continued, "Remember to open the door for me later. I've got to go. See you!"
