My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 187

Minnie sighed, "Before you married into the Roberts family, Master Roberts thought that since you're cheerful and kind- hearted, you might eventually influence Hendrix to become more good-natured. So even though the two of you are now in such a bad situation, I hope you can face it together!"

I knew that Minnie meant well. I patted her hand and comforted her. "Minnie, the scariest thing about people is when they try to change another person. I won't do that to Hendrix, and I can't either. Maybe I'm destined to go through this. Don't you worry! I'll try my best to control my temper in the future. I'll try to not argue with him."

Her eyes were brimming red, and she shook her head slightly. "You youngsters must cherish the days you have together. When you're old, you will look back and realize that you didn't try your best to be with the people you loved. If you give up halfway through, you'll definitely regret it. Well, it's normal to have regrets in life, but it will be such a shame if it's full of regrets."

I nodded and didn't know what to say. Thinking about it carefully, there wasn't any great barrier between Hendrix and me.

Most of our issues were trivial, so we couldn't bring them to the table nor explain everything clearly when they came up. Over time, the issues piled up, and so did the resentments in us. And we couldn't get rid of them.

"Minnie, thank you!" She could always tell what happened between Hendrix and me. She was acting out of kindness when she came to say that she wanted us to live a good life.

Seeing that I didn't seem to listen to her words, she exhaled a long breath. "Arianna, you are too stubborn!"

I couldn't help but chuckle, and I nodded. "Yes, Minnie. You know me the best!"

Minnie knew that she couldn't change my mind in such a short time, but she still tried. She continued the topic from earlier, "Arianna, I know you think that Mr. Roberts doesn't love you. But all he had asked for when he came back yesterday was your whereabouts. He thought that you were gone because you've changed your phone number. He was nervous, and he looked for you. He even wanted to go to Andoland overnight just for you when he heard that you were there. You must know that he was only discharged from the ward, and he isn't fully healed yet. He still needed good rest. It was Doctor Saunders who had prevented Mr. Roberts from going to you because he was worried about Mr. Roberts' wellbeing. Then this morning, Mr. Roberts went out early just to wait for you."

She paused, probably waiting for my response. To no avail, she heaved a sigh and added, "I know that Mr. Roberts really cares about you, and you're concerned about him too. But why did neither of you put some effort into maintaining your relationship?"
