Female Novel
Chapter 1588
Hendrix shook his head with a scornful smile. He obviously had no confidence in what I had said.
I narrowed my eyes and decided to launch my attack, looking at him with a smug grin. "Oh... Mr.Roberts, you're so against me going out, I see. Are you planning on locking me up at home like acaged songbird?"
Although I thought highly of myself, I was indeed not young anymore. Compared to those young,gorgeous girls, I was certainly no match for them. However, I didn't think that women shouldcompletely cut off all social activities, whether it was before or after pregnancy.
Due to this misconception, it was frowned upon for women to get pregnant just when they had juststarted a new job as it would impede the company's progress and efficiency.
I had handed over most of my work at Roberts Group at the start of the year. Now, I was free. If Igave up on socializing, I was afraid I'd be too lazy to even take care of Anne. Wouldn't I be acompletely useless person by then? Would I even be a person?
Hendrix's eyes lit up when he heard what I said.
He instantly turned around to look at me with an inexplicable gaze. Then, with that handsome faceof his, he said with a smirk, "That's a good idea..."
I was speechless.
I didn't expect Hendrix to have such a thought. I was ashamed and pissed off at the same time as Igrabbed the pillow from behind and threw it at him. "Don't even think about it!"
Not to mention that I was not a housewife, even if I was one, I could still leave the house at timesand personally pick Anne up from school. If I was locked up, I wouldn't even be able to get out ofthe bedroom.
The point was, Hendrix's thoughts might be even more extreme. He probably wouldn't even let meget out of bed... Stop! What was I thinking?
Hendrix caught the pillow with ease. He held it in his arms and chuckled gloatingly.
No matter how old a man was, he would always have a childish side. Teasing girls they liked was away of them expressing their love.
Frankly speaking, it could sometimes be really frustrating. But it was also because of that, life couldbe interesting and that it wouldn't be as boring living together as a couple.
I glowered at him for some time. Knowing that I couldn't do anything to him, I pulled the blanket
over and slept with my back facing him.
I used my ultimate card and yelled, "You can sleep alone tonight!"
I snorted silently and tightened my hold on the blanket only revealing my face waiting for him tocoax me.
As I thought about it, I had no right to complain that Hendrix was childish. Anne had grown up somuch, but I would still throw tantrums in front of him sometimes.novelbin
Perhaps when I realized that there was someone who would never leave me, my natural personalityshowed. People had their childish, unreasonable side sometimes. Even when I made a fuss andannoyed the hell out of Hendrix, I wasn't in the least bit worried. I wasn't afraid that I would lose myhappiness, because I knew I had him.
Thinking about it, although I was angry, the corners of my mouth were raised, and I was secretlyhappy.
I thought that Hendrix would annoy me with his little tricks and put in much effort into sweettalking tomake me happy again. But when I sensed some movement behind me and glanced sideways,Hendrix had already lay down. He hugged me from behind. He did not say anything but movedcloser to my neck, took a deep breath, and then stopped moving. He had probably slept.
Soon, I heard even snoring by my ears.
I turned over, and Hendrix had already fallen asleep. He lay by my side, with one hand curling up infront of his chest. With him being 1.9 meters tall, Hendrix seemed particularly aggrieved at themoment.
He slept soundly with the corners of his mouth lifted up. He seemed to be relaxed, but his eyebrowswere slightly knotted as if there was something that he couldn't let go of. It was probably becausehis company encountered problems, and he hadn't come up with a solution yet.
Hendrix was really exhausted.
My heart ached for him all of a sudden. I reached out my hand and gently smoothed the wrinklesbetween Hendrix's eyebrows. I carefully held his body and helped him sleep on his back.
Leaning on his chest, I tucked myself and him in, and said nothing more.
