Chapter 653


    | was taken aback. | forgot that Hendrix mentioned this morning that he wanted to bring Anne out for food.


    Josiah coughed and said, "I''ll call Hendrix. We''ll eat togetherter.”


    | nodded and didn''t say anything else.


    Ever since Monique gave Anne over to me, | never intended for Anne to reconnect with him. Despite this being Monique''s final


    wish, | was somewhat selfish about it.


    Hendrix arrived a bitter as he was caught up with his meeting. We waited for him in the restaurant for half an hour.


    After cing our order, Anne kept lying in Hendrix''s arms and talking to him. It was obvious that she was really attached to


    Hendrix.


    Josiah wanted to speak to Anne several times, but she always answered his questions politely before she continued to pester


    Hendrix.


    | could somewhat understand how he felt, but it was what it was. To diffuse the awkwardness, | said, "| heard you were going to


    move to Hanlusia City.”


    Josiah nodded. "Yes, Hanlusia City is where the Saunder Family''s roots are. It''s time to go back."


    | previously heard Hendrix talk about the Saunders family of Hanlusia City, so | knew a thing or two about it. The Saunders family


    were generations of well- educated, and noble people. With each generation came their own sess, be it in the business or the


    medical field. They were reputable locally and internationally.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    Within a century, the Saunders family''s influence over Hanlusia City became significant. Josiah''s return to Hanlusia City was


    partially to take care of his family and to continue doing what he liked.


    This was great, but Chloe-


    Speaking of the devil, she appeared instantly. There weren''t many people in the French restaurant, so it was impossible to miss


    her.


    After all, she was a woman with a big belly, dressed in chic clothes, and still exuded an elegant aura. This perfect- looking


    mother was captivating.


    Initially, | wanted to ignore her. After all, a peaceful meal was hard toe by.


    But it was as if she had deliberatelye to look for us. After passing by the reception, she walked straight to our dining table.


    She smiled and said, "Josiah, you''re here too?"


    It looked like a coincidence, but it somehow felt more like an intentional encounter. Besides, which pregnantdy woulde to


    a fancy restaurant alone for a meal?


    Josiah frowned. He nodded his head, then said calmly, "Are you alone?”


    She nodded and replied in a tender voice, "| was bored at home, plus you didn''t answer my phone, so | came out."


    "Take a seat!" Josiah said. He ordered a serving of steak for her, poker-faced.


    The steaks were served. Hendrix sat Anne down, then started cutting the steaks for her.


    Anne didn''t know how to cut it, and | waszy, so we waited for him to finish cutting.


    Josiah put the cut steak in front of


    Anne, then gently said, 4 ereAane| |
