Chapter 1081


    I leaned my head on his shoulder and sighed, saying, "There have been problems urring


    continuously in the Lancille Vige project, and I''m responsible for it. How can I not keep thinking


    about it?"


    He smiled faintly and said, "They are all things that can''t be controlled, so it''s useless for you to


    keep worrying about it. Besides, you can spend my money as much as you wish. It doesn''t matter if


    there are no profits or even you loss money.”


    I raised my arm to stroke the stubble on his chin and said, "It''s easy for you to say that. One single


    loss I cause is equivalent to millions of dors. How many times can I continue doing that?"


    He smiled lightly, "You could, as many times as you wish!"


    "Hendrix, it''s time for you to shave!" Hendrix''s beard had grown so much that it was pricking my


    fingers.


    He simply replied with a hum, as he pinched my waist with his huge fingers, "Are you going to help


    me with it?"


    I nodded and got up, then led him into the bathroom. I got the shaver and said, "Sebastian is asking


    about your thoughts regarding the project."


    He hugged me, pressing me against the sink, and said, "How thoughtful of him to make my dear


    Mrs. Roberts work and gather information for him."


    I took some shaving foam and applied it around his chin. He was too tall, and it was too tiring for me


    to keep standing on my toes, so I asked him to sit down on a chair. I proceeded to sit on his leg and


    lowered my head to shave his beard carefully.


    "Things aren''t as exaggerated as you put it. None of us expected the Milton Group to take over the


    Roberts Group''s project. Besides, he just asked for your thoughts on it. It''s not really gathering


    information per se."


    He hummed in assent. I was helping him to shave his beard, so it was inconvenient for him to


    speak. He just looked at me with gentle eyes. It could be seen that he was in a good mood.


    It was my first time shaving his beard, so I was a little clumsy. Fortunately, I didn''t cut his face. I then


    took a towel and wiped his chin for him after finishing it.


    The stubble was shaved off, and he looked much cleaner and younger. I ced my face by his chin


    and looked at him for a moment as I nodded with satisfaction and said, "It''s nice. You look much


    better!"


    He curled his lips and grabbed me by the waist. He then said in a low and maic voice, "I feel


    like you''re trying to tempt me or seduce me right now."


    I pursed my lips and was stunned for a moment. My cheeks flushed uncontrobly pink. I was only


    wearing a singlet since I had just gotten out of the shower, and my lower half was bare.


    I had been fully paying attention to helping him shave, and that was why I naturally failed to realize


    how forward it had been for me to sit on hisp. The moment he grabbed my waist, the whole


    situation seemed to be even more awkward.


    "Don''t think too much. I was just helping you shave!" I spoke as I tried to get up, but he pressed me


    down again.


    "Mhmm, I just wanted to hug you!" Hendrix was not even trying to hide his motives.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    I put the shaver down as I looked at him and said, "Hendrix, shouldn''t you wash up and get ready to


    sleep? I haven''t been sleeping well for the past two days. I''m a little tired now!"


    He showed a faint smile, reached out towards my neck and kissed me. It couldn''t even be


    considered an actual kiss, but his cold lips pecked lightly on mine, making me feel a little restless.


    I pursed my lips a little and said, "Hendrix!"


    He smiled faintly, still hugging me as he leaned his forehead against mine, and caressed my ear.


    "The Roberts Group is going to withdraw themselves from the Lancille Vige Project to prevent any


    further loss. By then, there will be otherpanies who will take over. Arianna, do you want to go


    back to Jarold City with me?"


    I stayed in his arms and squinted my eyes at him, enjoying his gentleness as I said, "However, I still


    want to do my best. I don''t want to go back to Jarold City to just be the wife of a noble household,


    able to only wait for you toe home every day."


    He sighed slightly and said, "I''m not trying to keep you like a canary in a cage. When we return to


    Jarold City, you can do whatever you want. Didn''t you want to take postgraduate courses before?


    You can take the examination now. If you don''t want to do that, you can join the Roberts Group and


    continue working like how you did before."
