Chapter 673
"I''m hanging up!" Hendrix said solemnly.
| stood behind him and stared at his broad back. My heart hurt. | thought that after four years, | had finallye to terms with
everything, and that | was okay.
Apparently, the pain had only been deeply concealed.
Noticing that there was someone behind him, he turned around. His handsome face was filled with sorrow and pain.
Instantly, he switched back into his usual gentle demeanor. He looked at me and smiled. "You''re awake! Are you hungry?"
| shook my head. | slowly walked up to him and leaned myself into his embrace, in search of a sense of security. "I''m fine,
Hendrix."
| was really fine; | just don''t have full control over my emotions at times.
He hugged me and patted me on the back, as if coaxing a child. "| know. Just get some rest, everything will be okay."
The dispute between Hendrix and Nerissa was something that | hadn''t expected.
Hendrix, who hadn''t been to the office for several days, handed everything over to Austin.
| wasn''t in the hall when Nerissa arrived.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.
The two of them were just chatting initially, but for some reason, their conversation turned into an argument.
At first, | didn''t want to get involved. However, upon hearing how loud they were bing, | couldn''t help but exit the bedroom to
take a look.
Nerissa shouted at the top of her voice, "She''ll destroy you. The women from the rich and powerful families in Jarold City are all
outstanding, why must you choose her? You and Irvin have been in conflict with each other for years when both of you could''ve
advanced together and be partners, striving towards the top. Why must you fight with each other over one woman?"
"| love her!" Hendrix yelled back. His back was facing me, so | couldn''t read his emotions and facial expression.
But these three words were enough to stagger me for a long time. In the past seven years, I''ve never heard Hendrix say ‘I love
you'' even once.
This was the first time.
In a deep and firm voice, Hendrix said to Nerissa,
"It''s not that she can''t be without me, but rather it is | who can''t be without her. Even if she really bes a senseless lunatic, I''ll
still protect her. As long as she stays by my side, no matter what she bes, I''ll care for her."
Nerissa shook her head in disbelief.
With a nk expression and a low
voice, Hendrix said, "You have no idea
what she looked like when | fi sh
her in the Univers ndPUerebiry; she
‘spar ing. She had the sweetest
smile when she married me. But in
seven years, | singlehandedly turned
her from the jolliest girl into who she
is today. So, anyone has the right to
ignore her but me." Please read the

"You''re hopeless!" Nerissa shouted in
rage. "How could you keep someone
like her by your side? Have yous e

She''s in such bad shape
i ie can''t even control her own
emotions. If she suddenly acts up,
have you thought of what she would
do to your own child? One slip-up and
two lives could be lost!" Please read

Hendrix did not mind. "We won''t have any more children. Anne is registered under my name; she''s justifiably my daughter."
"But she''s not your biological child!" "What''s the difference?" Hendrix pursed his lips. "| can''t have children anymore, having
Anne is enough."
Nerissa looked at him incredulously.
"Hendrix, are you out of your Hele

Hendrix didn''t say anything because when he got up, he had caught sight of me standing at the staircase.
His initially grim face gradually brightened. Our eyes met and his lips curled upward with a sense of warmth. He gestured to me
and said gently, "Come down!"
