My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1639

Hendrix did not answer. He kept silent and turned to the bathroom. Soon, I could hear him showering, indicating that our conversation had ended in failure.

I was still worried. I sat on the sofa waiting for him, and I wanted an explanation.

Hendrix showered quickly and came out after fifteen minutes. He was wrapped in a bathrobe, and his hair was dripping. Seeing that I was still awake, he sighed and sat down beside me. He reached out to hug my shoulders and pulled me into his arms.

It had been a long time since we sat down and spoke our minds with peace. After snuggling for a while, he talked in a deep and hoarse voice.

"Haven't you always wanted to know why I didn't attend Grandpa's funeral?"

I struggled out of his arms instantly and looked up at him blankly. "Why?"

Besides his grandmother, Dalton was one of the few elders who had treated me well. It was always regrettable that Hendrix had not attended his funeral.

"Do you know that Naomi's parents and my parents died in a car accident?" Hendrix asked.

"Yeah." I nodded. "Naomi mentioned it to me. It was an accident. Does it have anything to do with this?"

"Yes." Hendrix nodded and his gaze grew dark. He looked straight ahead and said, "You only know that they were all car accidents, but you didn't know that they died in the car accidents in Ucrebury and Asherton on the same day. The day before their accident, they also talked about the same business project. Two car accidents that seemed to have no connection, had been secretly planned to get rid of the scapegoats."
