My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 709

"I'm thirsty!" I came downstairs for water, but I did not expect to eavesdrop on their conversation.

He nodded, "Alright, wait a minute!"

After I gulped down the water, he straight away put the cooked food in front of me, saying gently, "After eating, go and get some sleep, alright?"

I nodded. I did not ask about Chloe. We were all bad people after all. So, why bother being merciful?

Though I said that I was hungry, I did not eat much and in fact, had no appetite to eat.

Seeing that I did not want to eat anymore, he frowned and asked, "You don't like it?"

I shook my head, leaned into his arms, and sighed slightly, "It's delicious, but I think I'm not hungry anymore."

He did not force me to eat. He knew that if I ate too much, I'd puke it all up.

He understood me even better than I understood myself.

We only sat together as time went by quietly. None of us said a word to each other.

As I was falling asleep, I felt him holding my hand.

He embraced me and said in a low and magnetic voice, "Arianna, I'm sorry!"

I remember thinking that his voice sounded blurry before dozing off.

The next day.

It was rare to see Aaron here. He had dropped by with a few things.

Most of them were for Anne.

He saw that I was not feeling well. He didn't pay Hendrix much attention and diverted his focus on me. He asked, "How about we go back to the Reid family?"
