Chapter 640


    From Anne''s perspective, the money that Evan spent didn''t belong to her. Hence, subconsciously,


    perhaps Hendrix still wasn''t considered family to her.


    After thinking for a moment, I said, "I''ll pay Mr. Gand back. Anne, you''ll grow up eventually, and I''ll


    also grow old. You have to learn how to deal with problems wisely in the future, alright?"


    She nodded. I could see that she felt very guilty about having hurt someone else. She quietlyid in my


    arms.


    When Hendrix and Evan emerged from the study, she had already fallen asleep. Evan bid me goodbye


    and left.


    When Hendrix saw her sleeping, he wanted to carry her back to her bedroom. However, he did not


    expect that the little girl would wake up at the slightest touch.


    Perhaps she hadn''t noticed that it was Hendrix, so she said, "Mommy, I saw Uncle Aaron in the


    hospital. He was with an auntie."


    Stunned, I reflexively looked towards her and asked, "Do you know why they were in the hospital?"


    She then opened her eyes and saw that Hendrix was carrying her. She stared nkly at him for awhile,


    then greeted him, "Mr. Roberts."


    Hendrix nodded and carried her back to the sofa, indicating for her to continue answering my question.


    Anne thought for a bit and said, "Uncle Aaron said that he brought the auntie to check on the baby.


    There was a baby in the auntie''s tummy."


    I suddenly thought back to Aaron''s situation in Hovell. I had my guesses, but who could thatdy be?Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    It was gettingte. Anne fell asleep right after dinner but because I had slept too much in the day, I


    could no longer sleep at night.


    Hendrix answered a call. It seemed that something had happened in the Roberts Group so he had to


    rush over to manage the situation.


    After saying goodbye to me, he left.


    The next day.


    After discovering that the Roberts Group hadpletely barred Sierra from the film industry, she


    climbed up the Roberts Group building tomit suicide. She then crafted and shared a false story


    about me and Hendrix''s past to all the reporters in Jarold City.


    Hence, the initial fact that Hendrix and I were a divorced couple of many years, was twisted by Sierra


    who imed that I was a ''sl*tty wh*re'' who kept pestering Hendrix for his money.


    Even matters of the past which no one had known about from four years ago were brought up.


    Reporters always weed news about Hendrix. Under Sierra''s testimony, my history with Hendrix


    had been transformed into different variations.


    I never really cared about this sort of news, but I had neglected how they might affect Anne.


    Hendrix and I had been to Anne''s school to pick her up several times. Even though we kept a low-


    profile about it, people inevitably noticed us.


    Children were naturally simple, innocent creatures, but the words of adults threatened to rid them of


    their purity because children couldn''t help but imitate adults'' actions.


    When I answered the call, Anne was already in the hospital.


    The children didn''t know better and kept shoving one another around until someone got hurt.


    We underestimated the influence of a celebrity, and the horrors of rumors.


    I didn''t know how tofort Anne as I held on to her tightly. My heart sank deeper into the pits of


    sorrow.


    Four years ago, I was full of resentment and had hurt my parents, so I left Jarold City and moved to


    Hovell.
