My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 225

In the restaurant.

After we finished our meal, Sawyer had to leave earlier for work. Followed by that, Monique received a call. Her expression hardened after the call, and she had left too.

Leaving Ian and I alone, Ian suggested to go elsewhere after, "Do you want to talk elsewhere?"

I agreed, and so we found ourselves a cafe.

Since my issues were mainly regarding Hendrix and my sexual life, it was hard for me to speak out.

After struggling for so long, I finally told Ian the truth. To my surprise, Ian was especially serious when it came to his work, which relieved me after talking to him. After giving some thought to it, he told me, "This is a psychological problem. Nothing physically related. I think you should open up and be honest with Hendrix."

Discouraged by the idea, I replied, "But I don't want him to know about that incident!"

"Why? You're the victim here. Why do you worry about it? Hendrix has the right to know," Ian sounded furious. After a pause, he continued, "This is an emotional wound, Arianna. You can't let him sleep with you anymore because you're still affected by his past relationship with Andrea."

Feeling a little embarrassed, I persisted. "But it wasn't like that last time-"

"That's because deep down, you believed that Hendrix would never sleep with others even if he treats her well. Yet, you heard the sounds of them having sex in the other room, which completely crushed you mentally. You've started doubting him, eventually leading you to develop fear for sexual intimacy," Ian explained.

"Does that mean my emotional wound can be cured if I stop loving him one day?" I bluntly asked, knowing that Hendrix caused the trauma.

Ian raised his eyebrows. "It's hard to tell. Maybe you can try to do it with other men and see if you reacted to them any different from Hendrix."

I rolled my eyes at his suggestion. "When are you going back to Mesville?"

"Probably in two more days. I'll keep an eye on you a little more. After all, I'll never know when you'll do something absurd again!" Ian said half-jokingly.
