My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 454

I was so surprised to hear that. I felt my heart filling up with an indescribable sense of warmth. He seemed to have always known what I wanted to do, yet he never stopped me and had always helped me in his own ways.

It was like someone had poured a warm jar of honey around my heart. How warm and comforting of a feeling. I pulled him closer for a hug and leaned against his chest. Then, I said hoarsely, "Thank you, Hendrix!"

He kissed me on the forehead and said, "What did Andrea say today?"

"It was about her mother!" I said. My stomach was lesser of a pain now, but my body still felt weak.

He said, "I'll get Austin to send her to Mesville so she can live her life there."

"Alright!" I replied nonchalantly.

Sensing my shift in emotions, he held my chin and lifted it up so that we were looking eye to eye. "Are you angry?"

"No!" I shook my head and sighed, "Hendrix, I knew from the moment you promised Casper that you wouldn't be able to let go of this responsibility. We still have a long way to go, and life is full of possibilities so no one knows for sure what will happen in the future. But all will be fine as long as we live well in the present."

Dalton was a veteran, and since Hendrix was brought up by him, the teachings he had instilled in Hendrix were of duty and responsibility. It was a lifelong principle of theirs. Therefore, even though Hendrix harbored no feelings for Andrea, he would still do everything in his power to take care of her.

One must admit that Casper had indeed chosen someone worthy of entrusting his sister to for the rest of her life.

Since Nerissa was dead-set on thinking that I was the one who told the reporters about the Granger Group, she was determined to make things difficult for me.

With Hendrix being away on a business trip, I would be constantly criticized by Nerissa in the villa. So, I went straight to the Granger Group to check on Fantasia Company's progress.

But before I even left the neighborhood, I bumped into Valerie. Winters in Jarold City were particularly cold, and Valerie welcomed that for her fashion preferences. She was dressed chicly and fashionably as usual -cladded in minimalistic black high-heels and a trendy wool coat for that extra layer of warmth.
