Chapter 608


    When I woke up, it''s already three in the afternoon. Fortunately, I didn''t need to go to work. Hendrix


    was no longer in bed.


    There were imprints of someone lying on the bed beside me. Obviously, he was the one whoid there.


    A soft voice sounded from the living room, like they were having a meeting.


    I got out of bed and walked outside.


    "Push it. We''re not giving in to Granger Group no matter what." He spoke in a low voice without much


    emotion, but his harshness and decisiveness were undoubtedly revealed.


    If I hadn''t seen him now, I would have forgotten that he was Hendrix Roberts, the genius who won


    numerous bloodbaths in business.


    In the past four years, I had always heard the cold and ruthless rumors about him in Jarold City.


    He peered up as he heard some movements. His cold eyes turned warm and gentle as they fell on me.


    His voice was calm as he said, "You''re awake."


    I nodded and my eyes fell on hisputer. Seeing the video conference, I stayed rooted to where I


    was and said softly, "You can work first!"


    He turned off theputer and stood up. He walked toward me. He held me in his arms and said


    gently, "Why didn''t you sleep longer?"


    I pursed my lips and gazed at the scenery outside the hotel. The many tens of acres ofnd, originally


    covered with weeds, were already dug into loess.


    "Are you feeling better?" I withdrew my gaze and raised my hand to touch his forehead. It wasn''t hot

    and there weren''t any traces of a fever.


    He grinned from ear to ear. "I feel better after seeing you!"


    I kept silent.


    He buried his head on my shoulder, and his breath was warm. "Arianna, love shouldn''t be heavy. In


    those four years, I acted and practiced my role to take care of you over and over again. It was fate


    when I met you in Hovell. I''m happy in my heart and I can''t wait to hold you in my arms forever, and


    never let go again. But I know that I couldn''t wish for too much."


    "I won''t drive you away again because of my rashness. There isn''t much time in life for me to be


    reckless. Therefore, I could only find happiness within myself. When Evan went to find you, I didn''t dare


    to have much hope. If you hadn''te, all I could do was to continue to protect you carefully. If you


    came, it would prove that you have me in your heart. Arianna, I don''t want to be stuck in this cycle for


    another four years," he continued.


    I let him hold me and my heart throbbed a little. I knew I was in trouble. It''s like being in a deep swamp.


    After four years, I buried the past in my heart. As long as I didn''t bring it up, it would be alright.


    I also thought that if we saw each other again, how would I face him if he treated me like before?


    However, I never thought that he would be reliable and even began to take care of my feelings.


    The way he loved me was different.


    "If you hadn''t met me, you might be happy right now," I said. If he had married Andrea seven years


    ago, he might have had a sessful career and a happy family.


    He held my hand. "If I hadn''t met you, I might never feel happy."


    Evan said that Hovell''s sky was very peaceful.


    Even the clouds moved slowly, as well as the love and affection. But they were real.


    But this time, I thought I could handle it. No matter what the answer was, I clearly knew that he had me


    in his heart, and that''s enough.
