Chapter 739


    Thinking about the past, | couldn''t help butugh. Everything back then seemed like a joke. Now that | thought about it,


    everything about it was enough to warm my heart for a long time.


    Fate couldn''t be avoided even if one tried. No matter how much you forced something to happen, it was still not going to happen


    if it wasn''t meant to.


    | heard footsteps behind me. Fiona must have figured | was taking too long and decided toe and get me to eat.


    | tied my long hair into a ponytail and turned around. When | saw that it was Hendrix, | was a little startled.


    Then | turned back slightly and continued doing what | was doing but at a slower pace.


    What happenedst night was a fight, right?


    Hendrix put his hands on my shoulder. | could see him from the mirror. His gaze was warm. He looked at me as | braided my


    hair, no longer angry like he was the previous night.


    | set my gaze downwards to avoid looking at him.


    | didn''t say a word and neither did Hendrix. Silence fell between us, making the already odd atmosphere feel even tenser.


    | sighed.


    | took a slight breath, but before | could say something, Hendrix said, "We''re going to see Yanater. Do you want to put some


    makeup on?"


    If he didn''t remind me, | would have forgotten about it. We did agree the night before that we would visit Yana and her son.


    | considered his initiative to start a conversation with me as a way to coax andfort me. Usually, others always had to


    compromise when it came to him. Seeing him going soft for me, | could not keep silent any longer.


    | nodded in response.


    “Are you still going to the office today?" | asked while applying my lip balm.


    Putting on makeup was too much of a hassle. Plus, | had to remove themter which just sounded too much of a chore. As long


    as | looked presentable, just lip balm would do.


    "You look good!" Hemented, like a child wanting to please his parents.


    I smiled faintly, got up, and went into the closet.


    At the dining table.


    | wasn''t hungry. After a few bites, Hendrix''s phone rang. He ced it on the table, and | saw that Evan was calling him.


    It must bepany matters. He looked at me and said softly, "I''ll be done in a bit!"


    Then he got up to answer the phone. | didn''t understand most of what he was saying since he used too much business jargon.


    But | was sure of one thing - he was buying the Granger Group over. And he was going to do it bit by bit, one step at a time.


    I stared nkly at the food in my bowl. My appetite was gone. | got up and pushed the chair into the table, causing a bit of a


    ruckus.


    Hendrix got distracted and looked over to me. Seeing that | was about to leave the dining table, he frowned a little and asked,


    "What is it? Is the food not to your liking?"


    When Fiona heard what he said, she looked somewhat nervous. After all, it was her first day here. She would be fired if | was


    unhappy.


    | shook my head, "I''m just not hungry!"


    | went upstairs for my purse. What


    was happening between him and

    If | continued harping on it, Hendrix would get even more aggressive. | had no choice but to turn a blind eye to it; that was all |


    could do.


    | bought Yana''s son a gold bracelet. It

    Aaron had said that it was cold in Jarold City, and they didn''t n to have a party for the son. A family get-together would suffice,


    he said.


    When | came downstairs, Hendrix was instructing Fiona on how to take care of Anne. When he saw me, he had a faint smile on


    his face.


    “Are you ready?" He asked. | nodded and went out of the vi.


    The car was in the yard, and | immediately hopped onto it.


    When Hendrix got in the car, he put a small box in my hand and started the car. "Advancer Tech''s new model."This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    | was stunned for a moment before


    opening the box. There was
