Chapter 1087


    I looked up at him as Hendrix was getting a little too much. I said, "It''s your fault. What do you mean


    by ''is that okay with you''? It sounds like I''m forcing you. What''s with that tone of yours?"


    Hendrix still replied patiently, "What kind of tone do you want me to use then?"


    Evan was driving the car, and I couldn''t help feeling a little yful as I said, "Mr. Roberts, will you do


    exactly what I ask you to?"


    Hendrix raised his eyebrows while ying with my hand as he said gently, "Nope!"


    Exasperated, I retorted, "You were just trying to coax me like a kid, weren''t you?"


    He smiled faintly, and the smile on the corners of his lips was particrly pleasant, "As long as the


    child here is happy, I don''t mind coaxing her!"


    I red at him, "You''re the kid here. I don''t need you to coax me."


    When we returned to the vi, it was already a littlete in the evening. I went straight into the


    bathroom to take a bath. Hendrix sat on a fancy chair to read the book that he supposedly hadn''t


    finished.


    Half an hourter, I came out of the bathroom and saw him reading the book seriously. I wiped my


    hair and couldn''t help myself from walking over to him. Sitting next to him, I looked at the book in his


    hands and said, "You''ve read this book several times before already."


    He looked up and discerned the smell of alcohol on me. He frowned slightly and said, "Don''t drink


    that much in the future."


    I leaned against him and argued, "I didn''t drink much. It was Linda and Naomi who drank so much. I


    was just apanying them. I didn''t even get drunk. I''m fully sober!"


    He raised his eyebrows. Looking stern, he reminded me, "Unless you are with me, you aren''t


    allowed to even drink a sip of alcohol!"


    I pursed my lips and muttered, "You''re just being overbearing!"


    He curled his lips, put down the book in his hands, and took the towel in my hand to wipe my hair


    for me, saying, "Since you''ve acknowledged your identity as Mrs. Roberts, I naturally have to be


    concerned with your daily affairs."


    I felt exceptionallyfortable with him wiping my hair, so I stopped arguing with him and closed


    my eyes to enjoy his treatment.


    Thinking about thepany''s matters, I couldn''t help but ask again, "Are you still going to withdraw


    from the Lancille Vige project?"


    For the past few days, although he had not told me anything about it, I was feeling anxious about


    the Milton Group continuing on in such a state.


    "There''s no rush!" he said with his voice sounding faint and indifferent.


    I replied with a hum, still a little worried, "How long will this continue on?"


    He raised his eyebrows, replying, "You should ask Sebastian about this!"


    It seemed to be that way. If the Lancille Vige project was about to start, he had to find connections


    everywhere to do so!


    Hendrix then brought up going back to Jarold City as he held my shoulder and said, "Have you


    decided when to go back to Jarold City with me?"


    I pursed my lips and saidzily with my eyes half closed, "Didn''t we talk about it before already? We


    have to finish the Lancille Vige project. How can we give up halfway?"


    "Can I regard you being so persistent about it as because you don''t want me to withdraw from the


    project?"


    I leaned into his arms and said with augh, "Mr. Roberts, it''s fine if you want to regard it in that


    way. After all, I''m in charge of the Lancille Vige project, and I really don''t want to give up on it


    halfway."


    He looked down at me, and I blinked a few times. I could clearly see his throat moving slightly in an


    alluring way.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    He reached out to pinch my cheek and lowered his head to kiss me.


    It seemed that he liked to kiss me out of the blue, and I had gotten used to such treatment after a


    few days. I subconsciously swung my arm around his neck and kissed him back.


    Probably learning such a trick from him, I held his neck with one arm and pinched his earlobe with


    the other hand. I found that he seemed to be really sensitive there. After a few caresses, his cheeks


    were flushed red.


    I let go of his hand and looked at him with a smile, "Hendrix, how sensitive your ears are."
