Chapter 104


    The next day.


    I was exhausted after being outstation for a few days. I could finallye home and get a good rest.


    After lying on the bed for a while, I got out of bed and looked at my phone. I then saw several missed


    calls notifications from Kelsey on the phone screen.


    I turned my phone to silent mode when I was resting just then. Therefore, I returned the call when I saw


    the notifications. As soon as the call was connected, the voice on the other said in a hurry, "Director, I


    have bad news. Mr. rk issued a noticest night and called up the media reporters. He said that he''s


    going to announce his rtionship with you to the public. There are currently a lot of reporters and


    onlookers waiting downstairs of the Roberts Group building."


    Did he wanted to announce our rtionship? What was wrong with his brain?


    I got up and opened the curtains, only to find that it was a beautiful day.


    Getting rid of that icky feeling in my heart, I continued to say to the phone, "Don''t worry, I won''t go to

    thepany today. Besides, Sawyer is an adult. He should know what he''s doing!"


    Kelsey on the other side replied with a ''yes'' and asked carefully, "How are you and Mr. Roberts doing?"


    I nodded and replied, "We are fine."


    After hanging up, I went downstairs and saw that Minnie was in the kitchen. When I looked around and


    didn''t see Hendrix, I walked to the kitchen and asked Minnie, "Did Hendrix leave?"


    Minnie was so focused that she got startled when she suddenly heard my voice. When she turned


    around and saw that it was me, she replied with a smile, "Mr. Roberts said that he had something to do


    in the morning and left in a hurry. I made some soup, do have some of it. It''s good for your child!"


    I nodded and touched my baby bump. Somehow, I felt like I got fatter.


    Monique called when I was still drinking soup. Seeing that her tone was in a hurry, I stopped my hands


    and asked, "What''s wrong? Did something go wrong?"


    "I''ve read the headlines. It''s too misleading. What if Aaron sees it?" Monique was afraid of Aaron, and


    so was I.


    Therefore, my heart would always tighten a little whenever that person was mentioned.


    "I will find a way to solve it as soon as possible! Don''t worry. Just stay at home for these few days, and


    don''t go out unless you have to," I replied.


    I didn''t know if Aaron woulde to Ucrebury. But, before his arrival, I must ask for Hendrix''s


    protection.


    I hung up the phone and went out after having a simple meal. However, to my surprise, I met Valerie


    along the way. To be exact, she came to meet me.


    The Roberts'' vi was located in a remote area. After Hendrix and I got married, only people we were


    familiar with knew that ce. Almost no one else knew about it.


    Vrie was wearing a light blue dress, which made her look elegant and graceful. She also had a


    limited edition designer bag on her waist, which made her look even more elegant and poised.


    I was astounded for a moment, then I broke into a smile and greeted, "I''m sorry, Madam Lawson. I


    didn''t know you''reing. Please excuse me!"


    She smiled slightly and gently replied, "Miss Reid, I came over without notifying you. Please don''t


    me yourself."


    The vi had a front building and a back building. Hendrix and I stayed at the back building. The front


    building was usually where we entertain guests. The garden and pond were all in the front building.


    I led Valerie to the garden and asked Minnie to prepare some fruits and pastries. I then boiled water for


    tea, looked at Valerie, and said, "Madam Lawson, are you here to discuss things with Hendrix?"


    She shook her head and looked at my hand that was making tea. She said gently, "I''m here to look for


    you, Miss Reid. You have very beautiful hands."


    Being polite and reserved, Iughed softly and said, "Miss Lawson, surely you jest. Your hands are the


    ones that are well maintained." Conversations between women were always like that.


    However, the reason she came was definitely not topliment each other like that. I took out the


    finest tea in Hendrix''s collection and said with a smile, "I don''t drink tea that often, Hendrix is always


    the one who drinks it. Today, I present you Hendrix''s finest tea in his collection. Please excuse my poor


    tea brewing skills."
