My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 619

I didn't know what kind of relationship Nerissa and Sierra had in the past four years that made her protect Sierra like this. But now it seemed that it was different from the past.

After bringing me back to the bedroom, Hendrix gently kissed my forehead and said in a low voice, "Close your eyes and sleep well."

After that, he got up and went downstairs.

Most seniors cared about their juniors. Nerissa didn't want me to be together with Hendrix, so she probably knew that there were many things that she had to be concerned about.

If I were in her position, I would not be so accepting either. After all, it was very difficult for two people who had hurt each other before to continue living their lives together.

He supposedly turned off the lights in the bedroom to help me sleep better. But I was afraid of the dark, so I couldn't fall asleep anyway.

I got up from the bed and turned on the lamp. I couldn't fall asleep. Without Anne here, I needed scents to help me sleep.

I got up and walked out of the bedroom. There seemed to be a conversation in the hall. It

sounded heavy.

It was Hendrix and Nerissa who were arguing about me.

Hendrix's expression did not look well. Nerissa spoke, "Why can't you let go of her? Both of you know about it, her parents and her past. You can't go back to the past anymore, and you can't live like a normal husband and wife. What's wrong with Sierra? Why is she not enough for you?"

She seemed a little agitated. "In terms of appearances, she's nearly identical to Arianna. She's young, naive, gentle, and sensible. When you're with her, you can focus on your career, and you two can have a family together. What's wrong with that? Why do you have to hold onto the past and not let go? What's the point in torturing yourself like this?"

I knew what she said was true. It was true. Why were both of us stuck in the past, not leaving it behind? Was it so bad to start over and find someone new to live our lives together?

Hendrix was silent for a long time. I thought that he had no answer to Nerissa. At that moment, he said softly, "When I met her, she was only 22 years old. That year, in the University of Ucrebury, she came out of the library with Monique. She had a book entitled 'Romeo and Juliet' in her arms. Monique asked her who her favorite character was. She chose Juliet without hesitation. At that same time, she looked up at the sky through her thin fingers, with a naively romantic gaze. She said that Juliet had her own principles. Although she was deeply in love with Romeo, she does not simply follow him blindly. She makes her own heartfelt decisions while still being loyal to Romeo."

"She said Juliet was the most honest and stayed true to herself. That was the first time I saw her. At that time, I thought that she must have dreams and ideals in her heart. At the age of 24, my grandfather brought her to the Roberts Mansion and asked me to marry her. I thought a girl like this wouldn't want to marry me and make things difficult for herself. Hence, I decided to refuse her. However, my grandfather forced us into the church to get married on a whim. At that time, I thought if she wanted to leave one day, I wouldn't stop her. I didn't want to be close to her in those two years. I spent all my energy and time on the responsibility that Casper entrusted to me. However, if a seed was planted, it would sprout with time. I was no different. I had feelings for her, and it never stopped growing even when I ignored it. After our drunken escapade, she became pregnant."

"I thought that this must be fate, so I began to be kind to her without reservation. I promised to protect them, to hold a grand wedding for her, and to never hurt her no matter what. She had no relatives and no home. I was the only one she could rely on. However, I still hurt her. For four years, I thought that if it weren't for me, she could have lived a very good life with a personality like hers."
