Female Novel
Chapter 337
Humans were ridiculous. It was wrong to love, it was wrong not to love.
I turned around and went upstairs, feeling like there was nothing else I could talk to him about.
"All it took was that simple phrase to end everything between us?" He said in a very soft, emotionlessnovelbin
voice.
I stopped in my tracks even though I did not look back.
"Arianna, if you really hate me, are you willing to let me go just like that? The best revenge in the world
is to make one suffer a living death. Are you trying to get your revenge or are you letting things go by
divorcing me?"
I didn't know what made Hendrix, such a noble man, say such words. I looked back at him.
With a slight frown, I said, "Hendrix, you know I won't fall for these words!"
He looked up, and his eyes were fierce. "The resentment in your heart can only be eased by going
back with me."
"Aren't you afraid that I will stab you to death in the middle of the night?" In the past, I would not, things
were different now. If I hated someone enough, even killing wouldn't do much in dissippating the hate.
He pressed his lips together, and his eyes flickered. "I'll wait and see!"
I looked up and saw that the lights in the room had already been turned on. Irvin's tall figure was
standing by the French window.
I was far away, so I couldn't see his expression clearly. I could imagine how he looked like now though.
Hendrix saw what I was doing. He frowned, but didn't say anything.
After a long while, I looked at him and said calmly, "Hendrix, I can go back with you, but I have a
condition."
"What is it?"
"I want everyone in Jarold City to know who I am, and I want you to dissociate yourself from Andrea.
And you are not allowed to question me no matter what I do in the future!"
He frowned before finally nodding. "Done!"
After a pause, he continued, "I'll pick you up tomorrow." "Fine!"
At the front door.
Irvin was waiting by the door with his arms crossed. He looked at me and said, "Have you guys
reached an agreement?"
I nodded as I bent down to change my shoes. "Since I've already said that I'll walk out of this pain
myself, there's no point for me to hide behind you all the time."
He sneered. "Are you worried that someone will talk about us and cause the Roberts and Reid family
trouble?"
"Irvin, I'm still Hendrix's wife. Your mother's concern was not misplaced," I said with a frown, feeling that
his words were a little harsh.
Irvin was good in every way, but he couldn't be so selfish. Hendrix alone was already making me suffer
enough. If Irvin were to intervene, I wouldn't be able to keep it together much longer.
Seeing his sullen face, I looked up at him and said, "Thank you for the past few months, but I can't
continue pretending to be naive anymore. Irvin, I'm sorry!"
I immediately got up and went to the bedroom without seeing Irvin's face. There must be a reason for
someone to treat another person so kindly. I was not a fool; I knew what Irvin's kindness meant.
Sometimes I wanted to play dumb and continue to stay there, but humans were complicated, and I
couldn't play stupid all my life.
What's more, I didn't have the right to be silly anymore!
"Arianna!" He asked in a very low voice, "Have you ever...loved me?"
I was caught off guard, rendered speechless for a moment. After a pause, I said, "Irvin, I'm sorry!"
A low chuckle was heard. "Okay, I understand."
These simple words sounded like they bore the weight of the world.
However, this was the right thing to do.
I parted my lips to say something, but no word left my mouth.
Back in the bedroom, I tossed and turned on the bed but couldn't fall asleep.
In these two short months, I don't think I've ever really thought about what was going to happen to me
in the future.
How should I deal with what was happening between Hendrix and I, as well as Irvin? I let him take
good care of me and took his kindness for granted. However, I forgot that, in the end, I wouldn't be able
to give him anything in return, and that he would be the one hurting.
I was already in ruins. I couldn't get him in trouble anymore.
The night felt so long that I didn't think daylight would come.
