Chapter 1146


    I blinked in surprise. I was a little confused and said after a pause, "You..."


    He smiled faintly and looked a little lonely. "So, can you promise me that you won''t treat me


    indifferently? Arianna, you know that there aren''t many people I want to protect in this world. No


    matter how bad I am, I''m sincere towards you. Even though I don''t have the right, can you treat me


    like a brother? Don''t treat me like a stranger and ignore my existence."


    I did not know why, but my heart ached when I heard what he said. I paused for a moment and


    nodded. Then, I looked at him and said, "Irvin, I''m sorry. I owe you my life. You know that''s all I can


    promise you. I can''t be with you. It''s my blessing to have Hendrix around to protect me. Thank you


    for your efforts, but I don''t deserve it. You have someone who needs your care. Shirley is probably


    giving birth soon. She''s a good woman. Since you married her, you should be responsible to her


    and your children for the rest of your life."


    He nodded in resignation, a bitter smile on his face. "I know, I have lost what I wanted the most. It''s


    better to make others happy. Maybe this is the best result."


    People should not live too obsessively. Otherwise, they would end up hurting themselves.


    After our chat, we head back to the base. He asked again, "Since we have aired out our issues, can


    I invite you to dinner tonight? Don''t think too much about it. It''s just that I''m new here and I''m not yet


    familiar with this ce. I''d like to have dinner with someone I know. It''s better than having dinner


    alone."


    When I saw the innocent and expectant look in his eyes, I couldn''t help but feel pity for him. "Okay!"

    I agreed in confusion. When I saw him enter the base with a smile, I realized that Hendrix was likely


    to return to Lancille Vige tonight too.


    But there was no reason to withdraw my agreement, right? I sighed helplessly.


    Thankfully the rest of the afternoon''s work went fine.


    In the evening, when I had just finished packing up for the day, Irvin appeared, leaning against the


    doorway with a smile. "It looks like you''re busy every day!"


    I nodded, distractedly checking my phone. I hadn''t received any message from Hendrix all day. Was


    he so busy?


    Once I was out of the base, Irvin drove over and stopped at the entrance of the base. He seemed to


    be in a good mood as he looked at me and said, "You''ve been here for a while. What delicious food


    do you rmend for dinner?"


    I shook my head and said, "I don''t know that much actually. I rarely go out!" As the sky slowly


    darkened, there was still silence from Hendrix.


    I couldn''t take it any longer so I took out my mobile phone and sent him a message. "Have you


    eaten yet?" Once the message was sent out, I looked out of the window absent-mindedly.


    Because I didn''t give him any rmendations, Irvin had no choice but to eat in the hotel. As soon


    as he sat down, my cell phone vibrated.


    I looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Austin calling. Curious, I answered with a frown. "Hello,


    Mr. Shelley!"


    "Where are you?" He asked. His tone sounded a little anxious.


    I replied, "I''m in the Lancille Vige Hotel restaurant. What''s wrong?"


    "Please go downstairs to pick Hendrix up. His hand was injured. Sorry to trouble you."


    My mind went nk with confusion for a second. Hendrix got hurt?
