Chapter 163
"Hey! I''m talking about your husband. Don''t you want toe and have a look?" Monique was getting
impatient, "Andrea was even dressed up! I don''t feel good about this."
"Mm," I said, sounding a little bored, "Have you had dinner yet? Why don''t youe over and have
dinner with me?"
"D*mn!" She didn''t know what to make of my indifference, so she went along with me, "I''ll pass. I''m
going home after shopping."
After hanging up the phone, I left the study room and went to walk around the backyard.
The weather was fine. There was a row of blue flowers in our backyard. The flowers had already

blossomed earlier that year, and the flowers were all over the ce. The scenery was pleasant to look
at.
Not long after, the doorbell rang. I turned around to walk towards the entrance, but, at the same time,
my phone had started to ring at the same time.
It was Hendrix.
I picked up the phone, but before I could speak, he said, "Open the door. They''re here for the baby
room. Also, the garden suite upstairs is a little troublesome to sleep in. I asked them to do a makeover
on our master bedroom so that you can sleep better."
I opened the door to see a middle- aged man standing outside. He looked at me and said, "Mrs.
Roberts, Mr. Roberts sent us here to set up the baby room."
I nodded as I let the workers in.
Then I said over the phone, "Where are you? When are youing home?"
"I''m in the Welldom Hotel. It might take longer than expected. I''ve ordered soup for you for dinner, and
Albert will send someone to deliver it to youter."
He sounded t. It seemed like he had everything nned out.
"Alright. I''ll hang up the phone then," I replied.
Looking at the artificialndscape in the yard, a surge of warmth filled up within me.
Hendrix was always great at taking care of others. If he really cared about someone, he would
spoonfeed that person until they lost the ability to take care of themselves.
It was heartwarming of him. Yet, I couldn''t help but wonder how long this wouldst.
It was already sunset by the time the soup was delivered to me. Albert even brought some dishes that
were nutritious and healthy for me.
However, I didn''t eat much. After the workers left, I walked around the house.
They made some significant changes to the vi. For instance, other than those I broke to pieces,
Hendrix stored the rest of the valuable collections in the storeroom.
Our bedroom''s wallpaper was more of a cold and dark tone of color before. But it was changed into a
warmer shade of color. They even changed the brown sofa to an elegant blue sofa, and it looked cozier
than before.
They covered up the stairways with small rugs and they also decorated the corridor with small paintings
in warm colors. The baby room was mostly painted in sky blue. It already looked amazing.
The room alone would turn someone''s day around.
My eyes got teary. "Did he do all of that because of me or because of the baby?" I wondered.
Most likely for the baby.
I didn''t want to leave the baby room. I wanted to stay there, wrapped in the warm and cozy feeling he
gave me. However, the doorbell downstairs rang continuously, and that forced me back into reality.
I ran down the stairs carefully to answer the door.
It was Austin. His face fell as he saw me, "Just how huge is this vi for you to have taken this long to
answer the door?"
I didn''t bother to answer him. My gaze fell on Hendrix, who was sitting by the flowerbed. He was
leaning on one of the artificialndscapes in the garden, visibly drunk.
I walked towards Hendrix, and he reeked of alcohol. I frowned as I pulled him up, then I said to Austin,
"Thanks for sending him back."
Austin nced at me and left without saying a word.
I helped Hendrix to the bedroom. He looked into the air nkly, and he didn''t say anything. He seemed
drunk, but something seemed off too.
"How do you feel?" I asked.
