My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 755

"You're looking too much into it!" She said as she scoffed.

I smiled faintly. I couldn't be bothered, "Think of it this way. I would be like you, thinking that I was overthinking it if this was the only incident that happened."

The car stopped at the traffic light, and I continued, "But I graduated from The University of Ucrebury. I joined Roberts Group as soon as I graduated. Do you think I learned a lot in university? I didn't. I was in the Roberts Group for two years, and in that short period of time, I became a project manager. Do you really think that it was Master Roberts who was pulling strings?"

She asked, "Was it not?"

I laughed and said, "Roberts Group is under Hendrix's management. Although Grandpa is an elder, he cannot manage or control the company as he pleases. Besides, Grandpa is also a seasoned player in the business. Do you think he's not aware of how important a project manager is?"

Her face was cold. The traffic turned green and I stepped on the pedal, saying, "For relationships to work, the couple would have to be on the same wavelength. When first I joined Roberts Group, I was nowhere on par with Hendrix in terms of professional ability nor leadership. Therefore, Hendrix made me work hard and suffer in the job market for two years. Later, I slowly made my way up as a project manager. He asked me to shadow him on every project he worked on to improve my professionalism. He was very cold to me, but he was always willing to teach and guide me."

Looking at how ghastly Andrea looked, I continued, "As a matter of fact, he taught me how to grow as a person. However, he has always taken care of you because of his commitment and responsibility. But think about it, how did he feel about you in the years when I was not around?"

"If he really had feelings for you, do you think I would follow through Grandpa's arrangements and marry him? Does he give in to people's orders that easily? Furthermore, you guys can be considered as childhood friends, and even childhood sweethearts for that matter, but have you ever thought about why he only cared for you as an older brother would?"

"That's because you showed up. You're despicable!" She was infuriated.

I smiled faintly and said, "Andrea, think about it.

When he took care of you back then, did he ever think about the future for you? Did he ever teach you anything? Our parents would think about our future for us because they love us, and it's the same with romantic relationships. If he really loves you, he would certainly have incorporated you into his future plans. Why would he not teach you the ways of life? Why would he not teach you anything at all?"

"It's fine if he really adores and cares about you, but that's not true. He was just doing it out of obligation. That's why he never taught you or allowed you the opportunity to learn. He allowed you to live however you wanted to, and he was even fine with it leading to your own destruction. Do you really think that's love?"

"Nonsense!" If we were not in the car, Andrea would have picked a fight with me already.

I scoffed, "What are you getting so worked up for? Don't you know what you used to be like? Don't you know how you got your two children?"

"Arianna, you're uttering nonsense. Nonsense!" She screamed at me, her voice filled with agony.

I puckered my lips and said no more. Hendrix never answered to the children, nor did he admit them to be his. Hendrix said he never touched her, but he never asked how the two children came about.

Come to think of it; he was probably trying to cover up for her from the way he talked about it.

Upon seeing her reaction, I was surer than ever that Andrea knew Hendrix never touched her. Hendrix also knew what kind of person she truly was.
