My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 242

After much contemplation, I asked, "Aren't we going to the Mansion to say goodbye to Uncle Trent and Aunt Kennedy?"

I looked up to him, waiting for his answer. But Hendrix only looked at me. His dark eyes fixed on me for a long time before he finally pointed out, "Arianna, you don't want to go to Jarold City."

I was startled by his sharpness, and I shook my head in denial instinctively. "It's not that... I'm used to staying in Ucrebury, so I feel strange in Jarold City. Besides, I'm already not sleeping well. I'm afraid that it'll be harder for me to sleep when I go to Jarold City."

The truth was that I didn't like it, and I didn't want to go to Jarold City. Valerie and Pedro were there, and I would be on their turf by going there. I had a hunch that I wouldn't end up well if I went there.

"I've gotten in touch with the doctor. Plus, we aren't going to stay for a long time - at most a month. We'll come home once we pay a visit to Aunt Nerissa and the doctor. You're sick, and you need treatment. It's for yours and our child's sake. I know you trust Doctor Shelley, but he's your friend. At times,

personal relationships will cloud his judgment."

Hendrix said those words with great sincerity, and I couldn't deny it.

I lowered my eyes to look at my hand, and I nodded, "Well, I'll do as you said then. When is our flight tonight?" I should visit Monique and Ian before that. After all, I had asked Ian to fly back from Mesville. I shouldn't go to Jarold City without letting him know.

"Six in the evening."

I nodded and said lightly, "Then I'll go to the hospital to visit Monique first."

"I'll come with you."

I wanted to decline his offer, but I stopped myself as I thought of Josiah. He might need to visit Josiah.

After breakfast, I went into the kitchen and turned on the gas to make pasta for Aaron. Minnie didn't like the idea of me cooking in the kitchen with the baby bump, so she kicked me out of the kitchen. I couldn't win the fight, and in the end, I just let her make the seafood pasta under my instruction.
