Chapter 1353
I couldn't help but frown. It seemed that this was the problem. Well, Estella did save Hendrix. Sucha request didn't matter much. Besides, she had also suffered consequences from that incident.Hendrix had no reason to refuse.
Seeing my frown, he asked, "Is the food not good?"
I gave a faint smile and shook my head, "No, it's very tasty. I just feel like I've gained weightrecently."
He smiled, "You are pregnant now. Why do you want to lose weight? You need to eat more.Besides, you are not fat!"
Josiah's test results had not come out yet, so we could only wait for the time being. I had alwaysbeen intrigued about Wendy. Her entire being was a mystery to me.
After we finished eating, Hendrix went on to deal with the company's affairs. I sent a message toWendy asking what she was doing. Unexpectedly, I received a call from Yana.
Before I could speak, she asked, "Arianna, are you busy?"
I smiled, "No, I just had lunch at Hendrix's company. Have you had lunch?"novelbin
She gave an affirmative murmur and said, "Do you remember when I told you I wanted to gowedding dress shopping with you? Are you free this afternoon?"
Glancing at Hendrix, who was busy doing work in his office, I added, "Well, there's nothing on myhands. Stay there, send me the address. I'll come over."
"No, we're not far from you. We'll drive over to pick you up. You can wait for us at the RobertsGroup."
After she hung up the phone, I walked up to Hendrix and saw him chatting with Evan on the phoneabout looking for a kidney donor. I paused for a moment before informing, "Hendrix, I'm going outwith Yana."
He looked up at me, "Shopping?"
I shook my head, "Didn't I tell you that she was getting married? She asked me to accompany her totry on some wedding dresses. You know she has no friends in Jarold City. I'm her only friend."
He nodded and caressed my belly with his warm hand, "Be careful. Call me if you need anything."
I smiled and leaned in to kiss him, "Haven't you always had bodyguards following me?"
His eyes widened. He seemed to have been caught off guard. He raised his eyebrows and asked,"How did you know?"
I shrugged, "Well, they appear whenever I'm in trouble. I'd be stupid if I didn't know!"
"I can rest assured knowing that they are looking after you."
I understood his good intentions and nodded. I went downstairs to wait for Yana after bidding himfarewell. I saw the girls at the front desk chatting with each other. When they saw me, they allsmiled and greeted me, and then they kept quiet.
I was a little surprised when I saw some green mangoes by the front desk cabinet. I couldn't helpbut ask, "Where did you buy these? They're out of stock during this period of time."
After all, it was not the fruit season and Jarold City was placed north. It was difficult to buy ordinarymangoes, let alone green ones.
One of the receptionists smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't buy it. It was given by Miss Zanes. Herhometown is in the south. She heard that there were some at home, so she specially asked herfamily to post it to her. Madam, do you like mangoes? Do you want one?"
Looking at the mangoes, I said with a smile, "No, I'm just curious as to why there are mangoes inthe north this season. You can keep them."
After that, I walked out of the lobby. Yana and Ethan arrived shortly after.
