Chapter 91

I was planning on walking back before I realized that the entire estate where Flora Villa was in was

huge. Almost all of the homes were bungalow-style villas, while the distance from one villa to another

was pretty far apart. Although we lived in the same area, it would still take a huge amount of time for

me to walk back home.

In the end, I decided to just drive Sawyer's car back home.

It was already twelve o'clock when I returned to the villa. Remembering that I still needed to get up

early the next morning, I parked the car downstairs and walked back to my villa. I was keen on cleaning

up and immediately getting some sleep.

Unfortunately, as soon as I got out of the car, I could see Hendrix standing near the front door. His tall

demeanor was easily recognized under the glimmer of street lights.

I frowned. Why was he smoking outside for no reason?

When he saw me, he dimmed his cigarette and asked in his typical monotonous tone. "Where did you

go?"

"Just having dinner with a friend." I was already exhausted at that point, so I decided to head straight

into the villa after answering him.

Yet, Hendrix grabbed my wrist as he immediately pulled me into his embrace. I didn't know how long

he'd been smoking, but the staunch smell of cigarettes was almost suffocating me. "Hendrix Roberts!"

"Which friend? Are you really drinking while you're pregnant?" His voice was still hoarse.

The scent of alcohol must be from Sawyer while I was helping him navigate around.

I was not comfortable in his embrace, so I pushed him away and said, "I didn't drink at all!"

I was so exhausted that I could almost fall asleep on the spot, yet Hendrix somehow was still

unsatisfied. He dragged me and pointed towards the Maybach, "That's a limited edition model, it must

be worth a lot! Arianna, did you find yourself a new lover?"

What the f**k?

I almost cursed at him while I pushed him away once more. I was even angrier when I looked at his

dispirited expression. "Hendrix, please don't use that shallow-minded perspective of yours to judge me.

I'm not you. I don't date another person just because I feel like it."

Then, I turned around and went straight into my bedroom.

I locked the door, washed up and went straight to sleep.

Having to wake up early the next morning, my already exhausted body immediately collapsed into a

deep slumber the moment I laid on my bed.

The phone rang incessantly as I woke up in a daze. I was still struggling to come to my senses beforenovelbin

the phone stopped ringing.

I had wanted to go back to sleep, but I immediately jolted up when I remembered that I had a business

trip to attend. Soon enough, my sleepiness began dissipating.

"What's wrong?" A hoarse, half-asleep voice came from beside me.

I was shocked to see Hendrix when I looked around. He was still sleeping soundly while his hands

were wrapped around my waist. Didn't I lock the door last night?

Then, I figured that he must have made himself a spare key ever since he damaged the door.

I pushed his hands away and went to retrieve my handphone. I noticed that it had indeed been ringing

for a while, but Hendrix must have turned it to silent mode because it was too noisy.

I unlocked my phone and immediately, another phone call came in. I instinctually answered the phone

and said, "Hello!"

"Miss Reid, your flight is at 5 o'clock, you should get prepared!" That voice... wasn't it Sawyer?

I frowned and said., "Are you going on this trip with me?" Kelsey had only told me that she would send

someone from Brilliant Audit with me, but she didn't mention who.

"Yes, get up quickly and come pick me up. You drove my car away last night!"

I looked at the time and saw that it was four o'clock in the morning. This man was no joke. After

drinking so much last night, he had still managed to get up

this early. Amazing!

After I hung up, I did some simple packing and hastily went out with my luggage.

When I was finally picking up Sawyer, I saw that his hair was still a mess. It was obvious he was not

well-rested. Sawyer came to the car and said, "Let me drive!"

I was speechless. How could he drive after a hangover?
