My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 717

When I arrived at the meeting spot, Shirley hadn't reached yet. I proceeded to look for a seat by the windows and ordered a coffee for myself. My mind wandered while I sat and waited for Shirley.

I didn't like coffee. It was so bitter that I couldn't swallow it, so I asked for more sugar.

Shirley was obviously sent here by her driver when she arrived. Her winter clothes were thick and heavy, but her pregnant stomach looked bigger compared to the last time we met.

She held her waist as she sat down beside me. Then, she ordered a glass of hot milk while folding her collar which she had pulled up due to the cold.

Her hands were red from being out in the cold. After the waiter served the mug of hot milk, she quickly held onto it to warm up her hands.

I looked at her quietly as I waited until her hands were warmed up enough to speak.

Soon, she raised her head to look around.

She raised her eyebrows and said monotonously, "I can tell that Hendrix has protected you very well." I looked downwards as a response. The press was still very persistent and the bodyguards Hendrix arranged for me were still secretly tailing me.

For her to notice all this wasn't easy at all.

"I know about the money," she said, her gaze falling on me, "When I saw him four years ago, he was on Taylor Street in Mesville. I liked to eat there, so I was in the area a lot. It was raining in Mesville that day, and I found him sitting in a daze at the central square. He didn't seem to care that he looked like a mess. Perhaps because he was good-looking, I went to him with my umbrella."
