Female Novel
Chapter 1269
When I got home, Hendrix was busy in the kitchen. It was rare to see him like this. I leaned againstthe doorframe and couldn't help smiling as I watched him bustling about in the kitchen with an apronon.
He was taken aback by my sudden return. "When did you come back? Why didn't you make anysound?" he asked.
I beamed at him, "Hi!"
He gave me a small smile and said, "Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner!"
I was a little surprised to see that he was wearing a grey sweater. I couldn't help but say, "You lookmuch better in clothes of other colors than in black. It makes you look younger!"
He raised his eyebrows and gave me a serious look, "Do I usually look very old?"
Looking at his stern expression, I couldn't help but laugh, "A little. You look too serious, it makespeople think you're harder to approach than you really are. It's better like this, you look morepleasant!"
He pondered for a moment and said, "I'll try to wear more clothes of other colors then!"
I got lost in my thoughts for a second. Since when did he start listening to other people's opinionslike this? He was starting to learn how to restrain his emotions and behaviors better, and startedreflecting on himself more often.novelbin
It seemed that he was slowly becoming a totally different person. In the past, he never smiled andalways had a grim and solemn expression on his face. These changes did not happen all of asudden, but were hidden in the details of everyday life. It was all so subtle that I didn't even noticeuntil now. When did he become such a gentle and sensitive man?
By the time I realized his change, he seemed to have already become such a detail- orientedperson, he got jealous easily, threw tantrums, and deliberately changed his routine to cater to me.These changes had all come silently.
He was never an expressive person, but he showed his love by taking care of me.
Seeing that I was in a daze, he raised his hand and waved it a few times in front of my eyes. Heasked, "What are you thinking about?"
I retracted my thoughts and kissed him gently on his chin. I answered, "I'm thinking, how lucky am Ito meet such a nice man like Mr. Roberts."
He said greedily, "I'm lucky to meet Miss Reid as
well."
After flirting with him for a while, I could not help but relieve myself of the troubles in the hospital.After dinner, he asked me to go back to the bedroom. Just then, Valerie called me and asked mehow I was doing recently. She also demanded to know why I hadn't gone back to visit them eventhough I was in Jarold City.
I explained about it and promised to visit them the next day. Anne called me on the phone andchatted with me for a while before hanging up.
I thought I could have a good night's sleep, but I didn't expect Hendrix's phone to ring almostimmediately after we both lay down on the bed. He answered the phone and got dressed with aserious face.
I couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"
"The police discovered some problems in Lancille Village. I have to go there!" he replied. After that,he packed up and was ready to go out. I simply changed my clothes and followed him.
He had wanted me to stay at home, but he knew that I wouldn't agree to it, so he decided to let mecome with him.
After catching the last flight, we slept on the plane for a while. It was still dark when we arrived inAsherton. After returning to the villa, we rested for around two hours before getting up and going tothe Lancille Village.
