My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 287

"Shut up, Josiah!" Austin barked at Josiah. Then, he shot Chloe a disapproving look and said, "She just wanted you to buy something. You don't have to be dramatic and make things look so bad."

Chloe shook her head in dejection, "Mr. Shelley, you've misunderstood me. I didn't think it would turn out like this. I didn't mean it!"

Josiah sneered, "Why are you putting the blame on her? The one who wanted to eat can buy it herself. Or if you feel that it's too much of a hassle for Andrea, you can buy it for her. You don't have to give Chloe a hard time."

"Josiah, what do you mean?" Austin — initially intending to stop the quarrel between two girls-was ticked off. He looked at Josiah and questioned, "You're purposely picking a fight, aren't you? What did Andrea do this time?"

The two men opposed each other in a tit for tat, and the air in the room was particularly tense.

At this time, Hendrix put down the glass in his hand on the table so forcefully that it

made a noise, distracting Austin and Josiah from their dispute. Hendrix looked at the two people and coldly asked, "Did you two call me here just to let me see you quarrel?"

"Hendrix," Austin mumbled. "It's all because of this woman!"

He pointed at Chloe with a look of disgust.

He had always liked to lay the blame on the people that he didn't like for things, and I had gotten used to it because I used to be the one receiving it.

Although I didn't like Chloe either, I couldn't help but feel sympathetic for her this time.

Hendrix frowned. Glancing at Chloe, he asked with a light voice, "You don't want to go?"

Chloe quickly shook her head, "No! I mean, I can buy it for Miss Burton."

Hendrix lifted his eyebrows, "Then go."

Chloe glimpsed at Josiah. Seeing that he didn't say a word, she got up and headed out of the room.
