Female Novel
Chapter 183
My wrist started to hurt because of Aaron's tight grip, and his face darkened, "You're the same as me,novelbin
Arianna, and you know it. You know very well that Hendrix doesn't love you."
His eyes fell on my belly as his tone turned colder, "Being pregnant doesn't change anything. As for
Monique, you clearly know that she will leave you one day. You will become alone just like me. In that
case, why won't you be with me? I'll give you whatever you want. We can move back to Hovell. We can
start a small family there and live happily like old times. Isn't that good enough for you?"
My wrist still hurt. I frowned and tried to pull back my arm, but it was futile. I looked up at him, and I
pitied him, "Aaron, there are many other people who are willing to live with you. Just stop bothering me,
please?"
He sneered, and he looked as though he was in pain, "You don't understand!"
He was wrong. I understood him. Aaron was lonely and rotten on the inside, and he wouldn't seize the
light even if it shined directly on him. It wasn't out of love that he couldn't let me go. It was because he
thought that I was like Carol, who wouldn't chase him away no matter how evil or annoying he was. To
him, the small house in Hovell would always be his home.
However, in fact, he belonged to no one and nowhere. He was on his own.
Suddenly, I felt a gaze on me. So I turned around, and I saw Hendrix standing by the main door. He
glanced coldly towards Aaron and me.
I withdrew my arm from Aaron and kept a distance from him out of instinct. I didn't actually have to do
that since Hendrix might not even care about it at all.
However, that had already become my habit over the years. I just couldn't stop being cautious.
"Go back to Hovell," I looked at Aaron and said, "I buried Grandma in Lager Mount Cemetery. If you
missed her so much, pay her a visit."
I could see a hint of loneliness hiding under Aaron's stone-cold mask.
I paused for a while before continuing, "Aaron, the past is in the past. Looking back at the past will
bring us nothing but grief and sadness. You need to move forward."
I never went back to Hovell after Carol passed away. I knew at that time that I was left behind to face
the world alone.
Like a rootless leaf, no matter how hard I tried, someone would eventually pick me up from the ground
and throw me into the trash.
I went straight back into the villa without looking at Aaron.
I hadn't been back for half a month. The house was still the same, but more flowers and colors were
added to the decoration.
Minnie looked a little distressed. When she saw Hendrix and me walking in, she smiled, "You two have
been gone for more than a couple of weeks. The villa didn't feel like home when you guys were gone."
After a pause, she sighed, "All is well now that you two are back."
The sun in the afternoon made me feel hot and restless. Soon, I felt drowsy, so I went back to the
bedroom after making some small chat.
Hendrix followed behind me. Without saying a word, I climbed onto the bed and closed my eyes,
prepared to fall asleep.
I thought that Hendrix would lose his temper, or at least say something. But he didn't. The room was
quiet.
A moment later, I felt the mattress beside me sink, and Hendrix pulled me into his embrace.
It didn't take long for me to hear him breathing soundly. Soon, I fell asleep too.
It was a nap, so I woke up around an hour later. Once I opened my eyes, I saw Hendrix's handsome
features.
I didn't move. I only looked at his face in silence.
