Chapter 34
Listening to his words, I roughly guessed that they wanted to have a gathering and was afraid that I
would go with them, thus they asked me to go home when we were at Herb Garden.
"Arianna, why are you following Hendrix wherever he goes? Why are you so thick-skinned?" Austin had
always treated me poorly. When he saw me, he spoke without hesitation.
I didn't bother to explain. I just said, "I came here with my friend. You're overthinking."
I'm not the type of person to follow Hendrix around.
Andrea gave me a once-over and squinted, "Didn't you just give up the baby recently? Why are you
running around already?"
"She must've felt lonely as Hendrix wouldn't touch her. I guess she has no choice but to look for
another man outside," Austin said tactlessly.
I frowned, trying hard to suppress my anger. "Mr. Shelley, you should find some time to go home and
gargle properly. Don't contaminate the air."
I never liked those two to begin with. I turned around, ready to leave.
However, Andrea blocked my way and sneered, "I haven't seen you for a few days and your tongue
grew sharp. What's the matter? Why haven't you signed the divorce papers? The child is already gone,
do you think that Hendrix will keep a woman, who had something happen in her belly, by his side?"
I held back my anger and stared at her coldly. I laughed and replied, "A woman who had something
happen in her belly? Andrea, it's only been a few days, but have you forgotten about your own belly?"
"You..." Her face turned red with anger as she abruptly raised her hand.
I blocked her hand swiftly. "If you want to act all pure and innocent, then put on a proper act. If Hendrix
saw this side of you, I'm afraid that he'll grow to resent you."
After swatting her hand away, I turned to leave.
Nonetheless, I did not expect that Andrea would try to frame me. When I let go of her hand, she
deliberately put on an act and fell, hitting the wall beside her as she collapsed.
From a distance, it appeared like I pushed her.
Coincidentally, Hendrix and Josiah, who had just arrived, witnessed the scene with their own eyes.
"Arianna, is there something wrong with you? Why would you do that when Andrea only said a few
words to you?" Austin shouted at me as he helped Andrea up.
What did he mean by 'a few words'? Did I deserve to be insulted by her?
"If your eyes and brain are useless, please donate them to someone who can make use of them. Don't
waste it on yourself," I said. Austin was really rude. I couldn't understand why people like him would be
around Hendrix.
I took a glimpse at Hendrix and Josiah, who were watching with their hands in their pockets. I was so
mad that I was ready to leave without even greeting them.
However, Austin grabbed my hand and said, "You want to leave just like that? Where are your
manners, Arianna?" Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
"Are you crazy, Austin? Did you see me push her? Sure, I criticized her, but why are you acting like you
didn't do the same?" I was already in a bad mood and I didn't want to get involved with them. I shook
off Austin's hand and left.
As I walked past Hendrix, my wrist was grabbed by him. I stopped and looked at Hendrix.
His face was as dark as gathering storm clouds, his black eyes as chilly as frost. It was obvious that he
was furious.
"Mr. Roberts, what's the matter?" Right then, I didn't feel like I was his wife. I felt more like an outsider.
The more he acted like that, the more miserable I felt.
I got irked when I looked at him.
"Apologize!" he commanded.
I scowled. I was filled with fury. "Is there something wrong with you, Hendrix? Why would I apologize?"
"You pushed her!" he said in a low voice filled with contempt.
I pushed her? I laughed out of frustration. "Hendrix, if there's a problem with your eyesight, go and visit
the doctor!"
"Arianna Reid!" he shouted my name in a cold voice. "Apologize!"
