Chapter 1057
I was shocked beyond words. After hesitating for a moment, I looked at him and said, "As your
wife!"
His expression turned more pleasant, and he seemed to smirk. "You have a set of clothes in the
wardrobe. Go take a shower and go to bed early. It''ste!"
I frowned. He was already walking towards the bathroom.
Both of us were adults. Both of us understood clearly what my answer was hinting at.
Earlier, in the meeting room, when Evan told Linda about thepensation, she had been
obviously crestfallen. She had a child to take care of. Even if she earned a good sry from the
Milton Group over the years, a sum of tens of millions of dors was still unfathomable. Even if she
gave up all her savings, she would not be able to cough up such an amount.
It was the same for me. I could not help Linda with thepensation of such a huge sum.
Previously, after Irvin''s matter, I had already transferred all of my ie from Advancer Tech to
Hendrix.
Therefore, besides the house at Ucrebury and the old residence at Hovell, I had no more assets.
Therefore, I could only look to Hendrix for help. Since police investigations were still underway,
there was still a chance we would find the missing items. Moreover, I felt that this burry was not
as simple as it seemed.
I was sitting on a sofa in a daze for a while. In the end, I got up and opened the wardrobe. As
Hendrix said, there were indeed pajamas in the wardrobe. They were all from luxury brands and
seemed to have been prepared in advance.
Did he really know me that well? Did he know that I wouldpromise in the end?
The bathroom door opened, and he came out wrapped in a bath towel. There were still drops of
water dripping from his tanned chest, which looked particrly sexy in the dim lighting.
I shifted my gaze and lowered my head. "I''m going to take a bath!"
He wiped his hair and replied in a nonchnt tone. "Okay."
After all, we had made love before. We had been married for years, and we had slept together
countless times, but this time was different from before.
This feeling was very strange. It may be humiliating, but I felt that Hendrix would definitely let me go
as long as I asked.
Still, it did not turn out as well as I had imagined.
When I was walking out of the bathroom, he had dried his hair and was lying on the bed. The white
silk quilt covered up to his abdomen, revealing his entire chest.
When he heard me walking over, he raised his eyes and looked at me. Calmly, he sat up straight
and patted the area next to him. "Come here!"
I pursed my lips and walked to the bed to sit down. While I was still in a dilemma, he took the bath
towel from my grasp.
He wiped my hair gently and said, "Arianna, we have plenty of time! Let''s take it slow."
These words came so suddenly that I was quite baffled as to what I felt.
I kept my silence. He didn''t say much either as he was quietly drying my hair for me.
It wasn''t awkward though, despite the maintained silence.
After drying my hair, he threw the towel aside and said, "Let''s sleep!"
Somehow, my body became stiff all of a sudden. We were adults, and had slept together anyway!
At this time...
I looked back and saw that he was lying down already. His sharp eyebrows were so attractive, and
he was still as handsome as ever. I hesitated for a moment.
I got on the bed, half kneeling. I took the initiative to lie on him, getting closer to his lips. It was the
first time I had taken such initiative. Even though I was a little clumsy, it should still be good.

I kissed his lips, which were cold and soft, and he seemed to be shocked for a moment. Then, he
suddenly opened his dark eyes and looked at me in surprise.
It may be ridiculous, however, despite being married for years, I felt like an inexperienced teenaged
girl, unsure of how to flirt!
"Arianna!" His voice was hoarse and deep.
