My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1376

I raised my head and looked at him. I felt that I had not stared closely at him for the longest time. His gaze was profound as if exhausted by life, and it caught me off guard. I looked at him and said smilingly, "Do you think that I'm someone who has no sense of self-protection? Am I such a complete idiot?"

He furrowed his brows in disappointment. "You know that's not what I meant," he said.

I sneered, "But that's what you've been trying to convey."

"Forget it... You don't have to explain yourself. Carry on with your work. Don't let this bother you at work," I continued.

As I exited the office, the elevator door opened, and I walked in.

All I could do was smile and leave when Hendrix was frowning that way. I knew that I was partly responsible for Sebastian's matter, and I did not bother to explain myself as well. Humans could be complicated at times. We could resolve any issue just by explaining ourselves. Alas, we often shy away from doing so and subsequently get on each other's nerves.

When I walked out of the elevator, I bumped into Estella again. It seemed like she was deliberately waiting for me. When she saw me, she smiled and said, "Mrs. Roberts, are you leaving?"

Also maintaining a smile, I replied, "Yes."

She continued looking at me from when I walked out of the elevator. Then, she seemed to want to say something but held back. So, I stopped and said, "You've been working hard lately. Are you in a relationship? I reckon your parents must have been urging you to settle down since you' re of marriageable age."
