Female Novel
Chapter 345
Josiah drove away, and I went back to the hall. When I arrived, I found Hendrix sitting in there reading
a book.
Seeing me come in, he looked up but didn't say anything.
I hesitated for a moment and went to make him a cup of tea. Then, I sat down beside him and put a
cup of tea in front of him. "Have some black tea to ease digestion."
He looked up at me, put down the book in his hand, and pulled me into his arms.
A pair of black eyes stared at me. "When are you going to talk to me?"
I was stunned and said calmly, "Some people say that men are the easiest to talk to when they are in
bed."
He raised his eyebrows. "So, are you going to tell after lying in bed for a while?"
I nodded. "If you can agree now, then I'll talk to you right away."
"Ha!" He pressed his hand on my forehead and sneered. "What do you want Fantasia Company for?"
"I can't be a housewife. I think it's a pretty good idea to be a strong woman," I said seriously while my
eyes fell on his Adam's apple and the buttons of his white shirt.
He lowered his head, lifted my chin, and rubbed the corner of my mouth with his lips gently. There was
a faint smile in his voice, but it couldn't be seen. "Do you think Aaron and I would delay things for a
year if it was so easy to acquire Fantasia Company?"
"I know. That's why I'm requesting you to give up the acquisition of Fantasia Company. If you and
Aaron give up, it will be easier for Granger Group to negotiate."
He squinted at me and said calmly, "Arianna, should I be glad that I have such a smart wife who knows
how to make money?"
Knowing that he wasn't saying this out of good intentions, I nodded. "Husband and wife working
together are much easier than fighting alone."
"Ha!" He sneered. "You are quite self-righteous."
I pursed my lips and did not follow his flow of conversation. Instead, I asked, "Do we have a deal?"
He looked down at me, and his eyes were a little cold. "Didn't you say we will talk about it in bed?"
I...
"Haha!"
His mind really was in the gutter at all times.
If we continued this topic, we would definitely quarrel, but I didn't want to fight with him at the moment.
I simply asked, "What are you working with the Moore family for?"
I was not really interested in it. I just wanted to ask about it.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and said indifferently, "It's a development case!" These words sounded
gloomy to me.
Alright, it didn't sound like a good topic to talk about.
In the end, I got up and was about to go upstairs when he held me in his arms and made a suggestion,
"Let's watch something together."
I...
He was different since we were last together like this.
"No!" After I said that, I was ready to leave. He held me down, and suddenly a phone rang.
It was his.
He glanced at the caller ID. It was Nerissa. He was in no hurry to pick it up. Instead, he looked at menovelbin
and asked, "Do you want to pick it up?"
I tightened my lips. "I don't think that's appropriate!"
After I said that, I regretted it. For a man, it just meant that I was refusing to greet his family.
"You don't think that's appropriate?"
Before I could react, he held my chin forcefully with his hand and said, "Since when have we been
separated so distinctly? You've been with Irvin for so long that this has become an aunt- turned-
stepmother situation?"
The phone kept ringing, and I was a little annoyed. I pursed my lips and didn't want to speak.
He put more strength into his fingers and said, "Why? Did he kiss you like I did? Would it be more
appropriate if you answered this call for Irvin?"
With a pale face, I tried my best to control my emotions. I pulled my lips apart and said sarcastically,
"You insulted me so unscrupulously. You think I'm dirty, don't you? In that case, why did you come and
pick me up again and again, Mr. Roberts?"
