My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 418

He glanced at me briefly before walking to the black sofa in the hall. He sat down and glanced at me, saying lightly, "Not very good. What about you? Is Hendrix alright with Nerissa bringing you back here?"

As he spoke, he lit a cigarette and took a few puffs, his narrow eyes looking ferocious and cold.

I walked until I was across from him and sat down. Looking at his blank yet handsome face, I said, "I'll only be here for a few days. He's been busy recently and has no time to spend with me. The Granger Family has been going through a lot and I might be able to help with something."

He curled his lips into a harsh smile and said somewhat sarcastically, "That's true, you might be of help to Nerissa."

Honestly, I felt that he was speaking in a very odd way. I curled my lips and asked, "How's your mother-in-law's plan going?"

Helen had already divorced Yohannes, so the funeral would be handled by the Miller family.

"Not bad!" He raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows. Then, he closed his eyes and hummed in response.

He had been busy these days, so it was normal that he didn't sleep well. Thus, it seemed that he didn't want to talk much.

I decided I didn't want to say much either. Nerissa had gone to deal with the company's affairs, and I had nothing to do at the Granger Mansion.

After a while, I heard Irvin breathing lightly as he leaned against the sofa, dozing off.

I got up, took the quilt and laid it over his body. Suddenly, he grabbed my hand and said, "Just sit here!"

The sudden exclamation confused me, but he was talking in his sleep.

However, he was still holding on to my wrist. I tried a few times to break free, but to no avail.

I frowned and said, "Irvin, let go of me!"

Then, he raised his hand, pulled me towards him, and said wearily, "Stay with me for a while. I haven't slept for days."
