Chapter 63


    I could not afford to let anything happen to the Roberts Group. It was not because of Hendrix but for


    Master Roberts, who took great care of me.


    "Do as I say. I''ll exin it to Alford Audit." After hanging up the call, I remained quiet and deep in


    thought.


    After a long pause, I made another phone call to someone I did not want to contact. Shortly after, a low


    and maic voice came from the other end. He hissed, "Five years!"


    There was a faint echo in the other end before he added, "I thought you wouldn''t contact me again."


    I suppressed my displeasure and said curtly, "I want a report on all the mistakes made by Alford Audit.


    Also, I need their financial report."


    "Anna, you haven''t called me for a long time now." It was silent for a moment and I could hear a grim


    voice.

    I could feel a chill ran down my spine and I quivered. Gritting my teeth, I called out forcibly, "Aaron


    Reid!"


    "Anna, don''t call me that!"


    Even if we were just on the phone, I could feel the cold seeping from my mobile phone. It was not the


    same arrogant coldness I received whenever I was with Hendrix. This one felt like the frost was oozing


    out from the depth of hell and it was an intimidating yet bloody coldness.


    "Aaron!" I forced myself to call his name and my body shuddered.


    "Good girl."


    I immediately hung up the call and sat on the floor weakly. I was petrified ever since I was a child. The


    deeply etched fear had never gone away.


    After a long time, I got up but my body felt weak. I went back to the bedroom clumsily. I climbed on the


    bed and tightly wrapped myself with the quilt.


    I was eroded by the chill lingering in my bones. I could not snap out of it. I should never have phoned


    him.


    When Hendrix returned to the vi, I slowly came back to my senses. Upon spotting me, he seemed


    both surprised and unsurprised.


    "Have you had your dinner?" Hendrix seemed to be tired.


    A lot was going on in Roberts Group. He was always on business trips. He probably had juste


    back from one of the trips, so he was exhausted.


    I shook my head in response. The sky was already dark. After recalling Monique''s arrest, I got up and


    announced, "I''ll cook for you."


    Without warning, he held me from behind. He ced his chin on my shoulder. He was probably too


    busy and his unattended stubbled chin pricked my skin. He mumbled, "Let me hug you for a while."


    He tugged me and we bothy on the bed. He wrapped his limbs around me and constrained me. His


    hoarse voice rang in my ears.


    His warm breath tickled my face. I parted my lips but I could not speak.


    I stared at the ceiling nkly before finally giving in. If I discussed with Hendrix about Monique, it might


    make things worse. It was better to let him rest and talk to him about it in the morning.


    I was irritated in the first ce. On top of that, I get sleepy easily because I was pregnant. Upon being


    embraced by Hendrix, I calmed down and started to feel drowsy.


    I yawned and closed my eyes.


    Yet, a few momentster, I snapped my eyes open and red at Hendrix in exasperation. "Hendrix,


    what... Why are you not sleeping?"


    "It''s a normal reaction. Just ignore it." His voice was low and hoarse. I could tell that he was very


    sleepy.


    However, I could not fall asleep. I pulled away but his big hands dragged me back.


    "Hendrix!" I was a little angry. Couldn''t he just go to sleep peacefully?


    "Ignore it. It''ll go away soon," he said as he tightened his arms around me.


    I was at a loss for words.


    Then, I became livid. "B*stard!"


    I could not think of anything else and hissed furiously.
