Anne ran over, tugging at him to play with her. Succumbing to Anne's pleas, Hendrix went along with her.
I sat on the chair, momentarily unable to comprehend how Yana's past was like to the extent of Charles not being able to acceptit.
In the evening, at the entrance of the villa, Aaron looked at me intently and said, "Since you've already returned to Jarold City,you should move back home with Anne. After all, you and Mr. Roberts are divorced. If you continue to stay together, people willstart talking.”
| was taken aback. | knew he didn't want to see me staying with Hendrix with no title to my name.Hendrix didn't say anything and politely sent them off.Anne had been busy the entire day and was tired too, so she laid in the living room until she fell asleep.
| was stuck between the door frame and his chest. "| didn't sign the divorce papers four years ago, so legally, we're still husbandand wife. Can't a married couple live together under one roof?"
Seeing how stubborn he was, | couldn't help but laugh. He was really petty!| tilted my head to look at him, then said as | gently smiled, "We can. That's why I'm staying here."
Joy shone through the man's dark eyes, and a gentle affection was wafting through the atmosphere. If it weren't for Anne, whogroggily woke up in the living room, he wouldn't have been able to restrain himself.
Autumn in Jarold City was unpredictable.
It was Tuesday. Having stayed in the villa for revision for many days, | got bored. After all, one could really die of boredom if leftalone for too long.
| decided to change my clothes, head into the kitchen, cut some fruit and send them to Anne in school. However, the schooldidn't allow visitors, so | could only send them to Hendrix at the Roberts Group.
The sky was a little cloudy. Fortunately, Hendrix had prepared a car for me, and traffic wasn't too bad.
| arrived at the Roberts Group building entrance. What started out as a humble business four years back was now the excellentRoberts Group with the eye-catching skyscraper with its name proudly written across it.
Just as | found a parking spot, the cloudy sky started to pour.
The storm came abruptly, with its flashes of lightning and peals of thunder. | initially thought the rain wasn't going to be too heavy,so | got out of the car, lunchbox in hand, and started making my way towards the Roberts Group building.
Unexpectedly, it started to pour like no one's business. | sprinted my way to the company entrance, my clothes were soaking wetby the time | got there.
Lightning and thunder continued to reign outside, lighting up the gloomy sky.
Quite a few people were standing by Roberts Group's entrance to shelter themselves from the rain. | squeezed through thecrowd and entered the lobby.
After previous unpleasant encounters, | didn't bother enquiring at the front desk. Instead, | took out my cell phone and dialed forHendrix.
| saw several missed calls when | took my phone out. They were from Hendrix. | had been frantically trying to avoid the rain, so |hadn't heard the phone ring.
Before | could even call him back, the phone rang again. | picked up and stood aside, so as not to block the path.
"Did something happen earlier?” The man's voice was low and anxious, as though he was worried.
| was momentarily taken aback. | looked at the downpour and replied, "Nothing to worry about!"
Suddenly, the loud rumble of thunder struck, causing tremors through the lobby.
His soothing voice sounded from the other end of the phone, "Don't be scared, I'm going home now."
Another voice spoke from his end, saying, "Mr. Roberts, the meeting..." It sounded like Evan.
Hendrix replied, "Reschedule it!"
| was stunned for a while. | stood in the lobby, momentarily forgetting to move my feet along. "Were you in a meeting?"
He murmured a reply of acknowledgement. There was another loud roar of thunder. With a gentle voice, he spoke up again fromthe other end of the phone, "I'll be home in 15 minutes!"
