My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 211

I only smiled at her comment. Hendrix took over the suitcase from her, while Monique came to hold my arm. She patted on my belly and said, "It's bigger than before. Three more months to go!"

I glanced at her slightly bulging belly. Monique was wearing loose clothes, so others couldn't really tell that she was pregnant at first glance.

I asked with a smile, "Why did you come back so suddenly?" I thought she would stay in the countryside until she gave birth to the child.

"Ian is coming to Ucrebury, isn't he? I came back to see him. It's been a long time since I met him. I kind of miss him," said Monique. She looked better than when I had left her.

Hendrix walked in front of us with the suitcases. Monique came near me and whispered into my ears, "So, are you two all right now?"

I shrugged. "It's hard to say. Andrea just came back. I can't say anything for sure for the future."

"D*mn!" She was annoyed. "I thought she went back to her rich birth parents? Why can't she just stay in Jarold City and enjoy her life? Why does she have to come back to Ucrebury to cause trouble?"

"I think she's taking over Madam Lawson's work," Since Andrea was back, I didn't know what would happen in the future. Anyway, it was safe to say that I wasn't at ease.

She curled her lips in disdain. "She's like a ghost haunting you."

I didn't comment on it further. Instead, I asked about our other mutual acquaintance, "Did Ian tell you when he will come?"

She shook her head. "No, he didn't."

We were walking to the parking lot. When we got to the car, I asked Hendrix, "Has Miss Burton gone back?"

He nodded. "Evan sent her back. Now, get in the car."

Monique and I got into the car, and Hendrix too after he had loaded the luggage to the trunk.

"What would you like to eat?" he asked.

It was twelve at noon, just right for lunch.

After being on the plane for a couple of hours, Monique was tired. I glimpsed at her and answered, "Anything is fine."

Hendrix nodded. He drove downtown and stopped at the foot of a Japanese restaurant. He looked at me and asked, "What about Japanese food?"
