Chapter 213


    At that moment, I didn''t think I should interfere in their affair. I hesitated for a second before returning to


    the bedroom.


    Unexpectedly, I heard Hendrix shouted, "Come downstairs and eat if you''re done washing up!"


    I peeped downstairs and caught Hendrix looking at me softly. Next to him, Andrea red at me with her


    now teary and swollen eyes.


    I let out a silent sigh as I went downstairs, sneaking into the dining hall.


    Coming from the living room, Andrea intentionally spoke loudly, "Arianna is just an orphan. She has


    nothing at all. She won''t be able to help you with anything when Roberts Group expands in the future.


    But I can. I have support from my mom and the Moore Family. These are the resources that will favor


    the Roberts Group."


    Well, Andrea wasn''t wrong. We weren''t the ruler of the world. At the end of the day, we would still need


    to rely on our social connections and resources no matter how sessful or outstanding we were.


    It would be beneficial If he had Valerie and Pedro''s support.


    The noodles tasted blunt, and I slowly lost my appetite. I rested my head on my hand and listened to


    the conversation. "Andrea, if I can leave my wife and child for all the advantages from you, I''d do the


    same and leave you for someone more useful in the future."


    "I don''t care!" Andrea choked with sobs. "I love you, and I won''t stop you from leaving if you found


    someone better in the future!"


    Hendrix became slightly annoyed as he replied, "But I do. I''ll only marry one person in my whole life,


    who is Arianna."


    "But you don''t even love her!" Andrea shouted back at the top of her lungs. "A marriage without love


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    wouldn''t work! You and the child are going to suffer because of this!"


    Hendrix frowned even more, and he replied to her coldly, "Andrea, this is my marriage, and it''s a matter


    between Arianna and me. You shouldn''t interfere. In the past, I looked after you merely because


    Casper had entrusted you to me. Now, you have found your loving birth parents. You have a good life


    now. While I have my own family and people I need to take care of."


    He paused for a while and continued, "I need you to behave and watch your tongue. Don''t do or say


    things that would harm my family. If you can''t do that, I guess there''s no reason for us to meet anymore


    in the future."


    "No reason for us to meet anymore?" Andrea choked up and asked in disbelief, "Hendrix, don''t tell me


    that you''re in love with her?"


    I was perplexed to hear everything that he just said to Andrea. Hendrix was a man of his word, and I


    could tell that he no longer treats her the same as before.


    An even bigger surprise, Hendrix answered without hesitation, "Yes!"


    He said he was in love with me.


    Andrea shrilled, "That''s impossible! Just because she has been married to you for the past two years


    and got pregnant, that doesn''t mean you''re in love. That''s not being in love! You''re just feeling guilty


    paired with responsibility!"


    Hendrix wasn''t an eloquent person. Seeing that Andrea was in a rage, he remainedposed and


    said, "Andrea, stop it now. Austin will see you back."


    Probably worried that Andrea would disturb me, Hendrix lowered his voice further and asked Andrea to


    leave. It didn''t take long for Austin to arrive at the vi.


    Unable to control her emotions, Andrea was half-dragged by Austin as they left the vi.


    I was almost done with my breakfast when Hendrix came to the dining room. He pinched his brows,


    looking slightly haggard by now. He looked at me and asked, "Do you like the breakfast?"


    I nodded, "Did you sleep wellst night?"
