Female Novel
Chapter 265
Before I could react, the bouquet was snatched away by Hendrix. "Director Reid, you're romantic. But
Arianna doesn't really like flowers. Thanks for it anyway."
I almost laughed out loud.
I had never seen such a shameless person like Hendrix before.
With his eyebrows lifted, Aaron looked at me. "Since when did you don't like flowers?"
I pressed my lips together and felt that the two of them were childish to even want to fight for this.
Since I didn't reply, Aaron narrowed his eyes and looked at Hendrix. "Arianna used to like flowers very
much. Why did she change after she's married to you, Mr. Roberts? Gifting flowers are a form of love. I
suspect that you think Arianna doesn't like them because you've never sent her flowers. Am I right?"
With that, Aaron was implying that Hendrix didn't love me.
I was almost amazed at how skilled Aaron was at deliberately misinterpreting things.
Holding the flower in his hand, Hendrix raised his eyebrows at me and asked, "Do you like flowers?"
These two people were playing with words, so I needed to be careful with how I worded my answer.
But I seemed to have taken too long to articulate my answer. Because Hendrix thought that I had tacitly
agreed, and he said, "Even if you do, you can't accept flowers from others. I'll buy it for you every day."
While he was saying that, he threw the large bouquet of roses into the trash. Then, he looked at Aaron
innocently and said, "It fell into the bin by accident. I'm sorry!"
Even Aaron was speechless.
It was the first time I had seen such a childish move in grownups.
"I'll leave you both to it then," Hendrix said to me as though he didn't just throw the bouquet that was
meant for me away without asking me. "Remember to make it clear to Director Reid that you don't like
flowers. And come home early. I'll be waiting for you and our child at home."
Not waiting for my replies, he glanced in Aaron's direction and saw the gift box in Aaron's hand. He
paused for a moment before saying, "Director Reid, you even brought desserts with you! I didn't eat
much just now. Surely you wouldn't mind letting me try these?"
Then, without Aaron's consent, Hendrix took the gift box from him and went straight into the villa.
He was even more brazen than I imagined he could be.
Other than thick-faced and childish, I really couldn't think of any other words to describe Hendrix's
behaviors when he met Aaron.
The tension in the air lifted after Hendrix went into the villa. I looked at Aaron and began to speak. "You
really like to wait for people in front of their door, don't you?"
Ever since I met him again, Aaron had been waiting at my door almost every time I saw him. It wouldn't
surprise me if he said that it was one of his hobbies.
Ignoring my sarcasm, Aaron quirked his eyebrows and answered me with a smile, "I came because I
want to see you. That's all."
I pursed my lips. He was talented in computing technology, so I didn't even bother to ask him how he
found my location in such a big city. I only asked wryly, "What do you want this time?" "Come back to
Hovell with me."
I frowned, "Aaron, are you crazy?" My lack of reason to go back aside, he couldn't possibly leave the
life he had right now even if he wanted. He was now a part of the Reid family.
He sounded as though he was playing pretend for these few years.
"You're still unwilling to leave Hendrix, aren't you?" He narrowed his eyes at me, and his tall figure
leaned against his car. He looked charming like that.
I almost laughed at his question. "Hendrix is my husband. Naturally, I can't bear to part with him. Aaron,
I've said that you can stay as a family in my life for as long as you don't try to meddle with it. But can
you act more like a normal brother would when you do that? For starters, you can call before visiting."
It didn't end well every time he appeared. If he wasn't fighting with Hendrix, he would make Hendrix
and I quarrel after that.
"Let's make a bet!" Aaron took out a cigarette from its box. Then, he glanced at my baby belly, and he
put it back after a pause. He continued, "Hendrix and you will be on your separate ways in less than anovelbin
month. If I was right, you have to come back to Hovell with me.
I didn't know why he was so confident, and I said, "Aaron, I don't know why you can't just let me go. But
I still want to tell you that I hate it. I hate you for showing up in my life unannounced because it bothers
me very much."
