Female Novel
Chapter 104
The next day.
I was exhausted after being outstation for a few days. I could finally come home and get a good rest.
After lying on the bed for a while, I got out of bed and looked at my phone. I then saw several missed
calls notifications from Kelsey on the phone screen.
I turned my phone to silent mode when I was resting just then. Therefore, I returned the call when I saw
the notifications. As soon as the call was connected, the voice on the other said in a hurry, "Director, I
have bad news. Mr. Clark issued a notice last night and called up the media reporters. He said that he's
going to announce his relationship with you to the public. There are currently a lot of reporters and
onlookers waiting downstairs of the Roberts Group building."
Did he wanted to announce our relationship? What was wrong with his brain?novelbin
I got up and opened the curtains, only to find that it was a beautiful day.
Getting rid of that icky feeling in my heart, I continued to say to the phone, "Don't worry, I won't go to
the company today. Besides, Sawyer is an adult. He should know what he's doing!"
Kelsey on the other side replied with a 'yes' and asked carefully, "How are you and Mr. Roberts doing?"
I nodded and replied, "We are fine."
After hanging up, I went downstairs and saw that Minnie was in the kitchen. When I looked around and
didn't see Hendrix, I walked to the kitchen and asked Minnie, "Did Hendrix leave?"
Minnie was so focused that she got startled when she suddenly heard my voice. When she turned
around and saw that it was me, she replied with a smile, "Mr. Roberts said that he had something to do
in the morning and left in a hurry. I made some soup, do have some of it. It's good for your child!"
I nodded and touched my baby bump. Somehow, I felt like I got fatter.
Monique called when I was still drinking soup. Seeing that her tone was in a hurry, I stopped my hands
and asked, "What's wrong? Did something go wrong?"
"I've read the headlines. It's too misleading. What if Aaron sees it?" Monique was afraid of Aaron, and
so was I.
Therefore, my heart would always tighten a little whenever that person was mentioned.
"I will find a way to solve it as soon as possible! Don't worry. Just stay at home for these few days, and
don't go out unless you have to," I replied.
I didn't know if Aaron would come to Ucrebury. But, before his arrival, I must ask for Hendrix's
protection.
I hung up the phone and went out after having a simple meal. However, to my surprise, I met Valerie
along the way. To be exact, she came to meet me.
The Roberts' villa was located in a remote area. After Hendrix and I got married, only people we were
familiar with knew that place. Almost no one else knew about it.
Valarie was wearing a light blue dress, which made her look elegant and graceful. She also had a
limited edition designer bag on her waist, which made her look even more elegant and poised.
I was astounded for a moment, then I broke into a smile and greeted, "I'm sorry, Madam Lawson. I
didn't know you're coming. Please excuse me!"
She smiled slightly and gently replied, "Miss Reid, I came over without notifying you. Please don't
blame yourself."
The villa had a front building and a back building. Hendrix and I stayed at the back building. The front
building was usually where we entertain guests. The garden and pond were all in the front building.
I led Valerie to the garden and asked Minnie to prepare some fruits and pastries. I then boiled water for
tea, looked at Valerie, and said, "Madam Lawson, are you here to discuss things with Hendrix?"
She shook her head and looked at my hand that was making tea. She said gently, "I'm here to look for
you, Miss Reid. You have very beautiful hands."
Being polite and reserved, I laughed softly and said, "Miss Lawson, surely you jest. Your hands are the
ones that are well maintained." Conversations between women were always like that.
However, the reason she came was definitely not to compliment each other like that. I took out the
finest tea in Hendrix's collection and said with a smile, "I don't drink tea that often, Hendrix is always
the one who drinks it. Today, I present you Hendrix's finest tea in his collection. Please excuse my poor
tea brewing skills."
