My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1155

She shrugged uncaringly and leaned back in the chair, "I planned to ask you to have crab with me, but I wasn't feeling up to it, so I cancelled. How about it? Was the crab he brought back for you that day delicious?"

I stopped drinking the juice and I locked my gaze with her. She had a smug smile, and her eyes gleamed with provocation.

So Hendrix did not come back that day because he was having dinner with her.

I suppressed the emotions in my heart. I said, "So, are you here to show off to me?"

She smiled and said, "Of course not, but I've liked to eat crabs since I was a child. Hendrix always remembered, so when I came to Asherton that night, he took me for crabs. But I'm really sorry. None of us expected that something would happen to you that night. Fortunately, you are fine."

These words sounded a little fake. I imitated her smug smile, "It had nothing to do with you. Actually, I have to thank you for what happened that night. Otherwise, I wouldn't know that Hendrix loves me so much."

The smile on her mouth froze. After a beat of

silence, she relaxed, "I'm curious about what kind of person you have offended so, that they'd want you dead so badly!"

I shrugged and said in a relaxed tone, "I'm also confused, but Miss Burton, have you found something?"

She raised her eyebrows. She was unhappy that I was not angry, but she still said, "I haven't found much. Maybe Hendrix's investigation was headed the wrong direction. Maybe the person who took you out of the elevator was not the same person who took you into the morgue. It's also possible that person might not have even been a man."
