Chapter 615


    Fortunately, I saw a taxiing from a distance and I raised my hand to stop it. After that, I looked


    calmly at them and said, "The taxi ising. Thank you anyway!"


    After getting in the car, Anne was fast asleep, not waking up even after we returned to the Bronzy


    Condo. I put her to bed and cleaned up. Afterwards, I picked up my cell phone to order some dishes.


    There were several missed calls which were from both Hendrix and Ian. I was supposed to call Ian, but


    since I arrivedte the night before, I had forgotten about it.


    It wasn''t the weekend. Ian must still be at work, so I sent him a message and told him that everything


    was fine.


    I called Hendrix on the phone. When the call got through, I could hear that it was really quiet at his side.


    His voice was low, "Were you very busy in the morning?"


    I threw the clothes I had worn in the morning into the washing machine. The mountain road was


    muddy, so getting it dirty was inevitable.


    "I brought Anne to look around." There was movement from the bedroom, Anne seemed to have woken


    up.


    I got up to go and take a look.


    "Do you have any ns in the afternoon?" Hendrix asked from the other end of the line.


    "I may go out for a walk." Anne really did wake up. She was sitting on the bed and ying with the


    Seeing me, she said softly, "Mom, I am hungry!"


    I nodded and said to the phone, "I need to cook for Anne. We''ll talkter."


    "Alright!" he replied. His voice was warm and gentle.


    After hanging up the phone, it was not long before the doorbell rang. It was probably the takeout.


    I opened the doorand was met with the sight of Ian carrying many items. Seeing that I took a long time


    to answer the door, he could not help but ask, "Did you fall asleep?"


    I smiled, "No, aren''t you at work? Why are you here?"


    He brought the bags into the kitchen, sighed helplessly and said, "The refrigerator is empty. Why would


    I be at work? You both haven''t eaten anything yet, right?"


    I nodded. Anne was already hugging his thigh while shouting how hungry she was.


    He handed over the desserts he''d bought for Anne and said softly to her, "Eat a little bit first. I''ll cook for


    youter."


    Then, he looked up at me, "Where did you go this morning?"


    "I went to the cemetery," I said as I put the things into the refrigerator with him, "I met Josiah and Chloe


    at the cemetery this morning."


    After a pause, I continued, "Chloe seems to be pregnant."


    He stopped what he was doing and frowned. "Josiah''s child?"


    I shrugged, "It''s possible!" It seemed like it.


    He looked at Anne, frowning slightly. He lowered his voice and said, "Don''t ever tell him about Anne."


    I grimaced, "Perhaps he already knows. After all, Anne resembles him."


    "So what? Just don''t say it and don''t admit it. He can''t try to take Anne away by force!" He was a little


    angry. "If it weren''t for Chloe Hammer, Monique wouldn''t have died due to blood loss. D*mn it!"


    Anne had been hungry, so she sat quietly aside and ate.


    I gave a small smile. I couldn''t help but find him endearing. I replied, "Yes, I know."


    Hendrix replied, "You should keep warm. I''lle and see you when I''m done with my work."


    I said, "Okay!"


    Hendrix asked, "Do you miss me?"


    I said, "Yes!"


    Hendrix said, "I miss you too."


    It was afternoon.


    Not long after they left, I felt as if I barely slept. When I woke up, I found that my body was feeling
