Chapter 618
He gave a small smile. "It's okay. You can close your eyes and rest first."
I found it funny. In these few steps, in these few minutes, there was nothing to worry about.
There were people sitting in the living room, which surprised me a little. They were Nerissa Roberts
and Sierra, whom I had seen during the day.
After four years of not seeing each other, Nerissa's face was calm and pale, but she was still dignified.novelbin
Hendrix and I appeared intimately in front of them. Hence, when we entered the villa, both people who
were drinking tea in the living room stood up.
Nerissa frowned when she saw me. She was evidently displeased. She looked over at Hendrix with a
sour expression. "Why did you bring her back? You..."
Hendrix's eyebrows knitted together as he frowned. He coldly told her, "Aunt Nerissa, this is my
personal matter." He sounded blank and there was no emotion in his voice. However, there was a kind
of cold indifference that distanced people from him.
Nerissa's mood was getting unstable. "You two have already separated, why are you still involved with
each other? Four years are enough for you..."
"Aunt, it's getting late. You should go back soon!" He was blatantly telling her to leave.
"Go rest if you're tired!" Hendrix looked down at me. The man's eyes were clear and he was
exceptionally gentle.
I sighed. This time, I had indirectly offended Nerissa.
As he carried me upstairs, his voice was warm and gentle. "Everything in the bedroom is still there. It's
what you like to use, just like before."
I pursed my lips and didn't say a word. Sierra, who stood in the living room, was panicking. She
appeared to be staggering a little.
She looked at me and seemed a little desperate.
A woman's intuition was always present. I didn't know what kind of relationship Hendrix and Sierra had
in the past four years. But now, judging by Sierra's expression, it was most likely that her heart
belonged to Hendrix.
"Mr. Roberts!" Sierra opened her mouth, which sounded a little empty in the hall.
Hendrix frowned and looked back at her. Feeling displeased, he asked, "What's the matter, Miss
Noland?"
Sierra pursed her lips as she looked aggrieved. "I'd like to discuss some details about Advancer Tech's
endorsement with you."
Hendrix was an elegant and exclusive man. He looked at her with little emotion, and with a light tone he
said indifferently, "Miss Noland, it's nine o'clock in the evening. The working time at Roberts Group is
eight hours, from nine o'clock in the morning to six o'clock in the evening. It's been three hours past the
working hours. You are an educated person too. It's rude for you to come without being invited and
wanting to discuss work with me at midnight. The others might think that we have some improper
relationship going on, don't you think?"
He looked solemn as he continued, "Miss Noland, you are already 26 years old. You should know the
right time to do or say something. You should go home. I don't know why you came to my house today,
but I don't want a repeat of this situation. My wife and I should have our personal space and I don't
want anyone to disturb us. Please excuse us."

He spoke without much emotion, nonchalant but assertive. It was too cruel for a girl who admired him
to hear.
Nerissa frowned. "Hendrix, you've gone too far!"

Sierra shook her head. "Madam Nerissa, I'm fine."
She lowered her head, not daring to look at Hendrix again. She turned around and left the villa.
Nerissa followed her out with the intention of comforting her. Hendrix was angry because he had
guessed what Sierra told Nerissa.
