Chapter 128


    I was embarrassed and looked at my cup of soy milk on the table and said, "You can have that if you


    don''t mind."


    I actually only said it for fun. Hendrix would never touch other people''s things, let alone drink what other


    people had drunk from before.


    However, he got up from his seat, walked over to sit beside me, and grabbed the soy milk to drink.


    He was drinking through the straw that I had used and left a lipstick stain.


    I got weirded out just by looking at this scene.


    "What are you thinking about?" He put his hand around my waist and asked. He tenderly caressed my


    belly with a smile, "You seem to have gained some weight."


    I rolled my eyes and pushed him away. Then, I started going through the documents Kelsey had


    brought for me. Brilliant Audit had already finished the Roberts Group''s auditing, and the Alford Audit''s


    project was still waiting for my approval.


    Hendrix nced at the audit report and asked casually, "Did we appoint Alford Audit to work on Shelly


    Group''s auditing work?"


    I nodded, signing the documents in my hand, and moved on to the next one.


    He hummed and looked at me after flipping through several documents. He then asked, "Who do you


    entrust this project to?"


    I was surprised to hear him ask. "Kelsey Parker. She''s the one who dealt with all my work when I was


    busy with other things. What''s wrong?"


    Seeing his darkened face, I thought something was wrong with the documents. So, I read through the


    ones he had read, just to be sure, but I found nothing wrong.


    I was a little confused.


    Knowing that I was waiting for his reply, he raised his eyebrows, "Kiss me, then I''ll tell you."


    "Stop ying!" I ignored his request. I had read every document very carefully. I didn''t think there would


    be any problem with them. He probably was being suspicious about everything, as usual.


    He put down the documents in his hand and took away those on my hands, which all awaited my


    approval, "I''ll take a look at these. I''ll sign it if there''s nothing wrong. You should go inside and take


    some rest."


    Hendrix''s office wasrge. There was even a well-equipped lounge inside it.


    I looked at him wryly and protested, "But I''m not sleepy!"


    He ignored me and took me straight to his lounge. The weather was a little hot, so he turned on the air


    conditioner, "Lie down and sleep for a while." He also took away my cell phone.


    "Hendrix!" I chased after him, "I''m not tired. I just woke upte in the morning."


    He looked at me, "Do you want me toe to bed


    with you?"


    Speechless, I got into the bed with anger, pulled the quilt over my head, and mumbled under the quilt,

    "I''m going to sleep now. You can leave."


    I could barely hear hisughs under the quilt.


    It didn''t take long before there was no movement in the lounge. I thought that Hendrix must have left,


    so I lifted the quilt and stared at the ceiling in a daze. I was still a little disturbed.


    Was he acting differently out of guilt?


    Could a marriage without lovest forever?


    I was getting distracted. The more I thought about it, the more my head hurt. I couldn''t fall asleep at all.


    So, I got up and was about to reach for my cell phone before recalling that I had left it outside.


    I got out of the lounge and went into Hendrix''s office. He wasn''t in.


    I looked around and saw someone behind the curtain on the balcony. I went to get my cell phone from


    his desk and was ready to go back into the lounge.


    Then, I identally overheard Hendrix speaking on the phone. "Is she alright?" he asked.


    I didn''t know what the person on the other end said, but then he replied, "Yes, give her a proper


    checkup. Take care of the wound carefully. Once she''s done, send her back to Pearis Manor."


    Of course it would be about Andrea.


    How could I forget? I was injured, and so was Andrea. The person he didn''t mention was the one he


    was most worried about.


    He didn''t love me. He probably only felt responsible towards me.


    Hendrix didn''t expect that I woulde out to the office. He frowned when he saw me standing in the


    middle of his office and asked, "Why aren''t you in bed?"
