Female Novel
Chapter 1057
I was shocked beyond words. After hesitating for a moment, I looked at him and said, "As yourwife!"
His expression turned more pleasant, and he seemed to smirk. "You have a set of clothes in thewardrobe. Go take a shower and go to bed early. It's late!"
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 the compensation, she had beenobviously crestfallen. She had a child to take care of. Even if she earned a good salary from theMilton Group over the years, a sum of tens of millions of dollars was still unfathomable. Even if shegave 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 the compensation of such a huge sum.Previously, after Irvin's matter, I had already transferred all of my income from Advancer Tech toHendrix.
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 burglary was notas 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. AsHendrix said, there were indeed pajamas in the wardrobe. They were all from luxury brands andseemed to have been prepared in advance.
Did he really know me that well? Did he know that I would compromise in the end?
The bathroom door opened, and he came out wrapped in a bath towel. There were still drops ofwater dripping from his tanned chest, which looked particularly 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 nonchalant tone. "Okay."
After all, we had made love before. We had been married for years, and we had slept togethercountless 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 goas 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 whitesilk 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 straightand 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 bathtowel 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, andhe 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 thefirst 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, hesuddenly 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 teenagedgirl, unsure of how to flirt!
"Arianna!" His voice was hoarse and deep.novelbin
