My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1113

Hendrix's laughter came from the other end, his voice sounding extra seductive as he asked, "I'm almost home. Have you had dinner?"

I hummed in assent and began to think about how to tell him that I was in Lancille Village. I asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Yes, I have!"

I smiled and said, "Good boy, you know how to take care of yourself. By the way, I came to Lancille Village this morning, and I have a lot of things to do. So, I'm going to stay here tonight."

He only gave me a hum of assent, but the joy in his voice faded a little. He said with some disappointment, "I'm going to sleep alone at night?"

The audacity...

I laughed and said, "Well, I was all alone in the morning. So, where were you during the day? Who were you with?"

I had to admit that my way of changing the topic wasn't that great.

He said honestly, "I met Austin. Can you come back tomorrow? Let's have dinner together."

I thought for a while and realized that I had too many things to do, so I was unable to meet up the next day.

Somewhat apologetically, I replied, "I don't think so. What's the matter? Do you have anything to do?"

He replied, "I have to go back to Jarold City. I have something to deal with in the company."

He had been in Asherton for almost two months. There had to be a lot of unattended matters in Jarold City and he would face losses if he continued to stay.

"When are you going to leave?" There were too many things to deal with, so we had both been busy.
