"No!" I quickly denied it. I looked up at him and said, "Didn't you want me to sign the divorce
agreement? Now that I have signed it, you and Andrea can finally get together. Wasn't that what you
always wished for?"
"Very well!" His smile gradually grew colder as his hands tightened around my waist. He smirked
maliciously. "Arianna, you know that I hate people who make their own decisions. Do you really think
you'll be able to get away easily after what you did to my child?"
"Weren't you the one who didn't want the child?" I frowned as I couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
"Andrea threatened me with her death. I'd rather do it myself than wait for you guys to force me to do
so!"
The air somehow froze. Hendrix narrowed his eyes, showing a dangerous look. I had a feeling that the
man standing in front of me was like a fierce and angered leopard. If I was not careful, I would be bitten
in the neck and torn into pieces.
"You think you're smart, right?"
I didn't understand what he meant, but I knew it wasn't a compliment.
"Arianna, stop being a smart*ss. It doesn't matter anymore since the child is gone. We can just have
another one!"
With that, he stormed off. I was frozen in place, confused about the meaning of his words. If someone
else's husband said something like that, his intention would be to comfort his distressed wife. With
Hendrix, it was definitely not the case.
"Still not leaving?" He turned around and asked indifferently, his eyebrows furrowing threateningly.
For a moment, I didn't know what to do. I trotted after him shortly after.
After leaving the company, Hendrix took me to a courtyard with a decent restaurant. As soon as I
entered the courtyard, a waitress wearing a peach-red dress came out and greeted Hendrix with a
smile. "This way please, Mr. Roberts!"
Then, she led Hendrix and me into a room. As soon as I got in, I saw Josiah and Austin brewing some
tea while chatting away.
After bringing us here, the waitress left. Hendrix walked over to the chair next to them and sat down.
His gaze was nonchalant as he said, "Why haven't you ordered food?"
"The chef, Albert Lance, said that the soup will still take a while to be done!" After that, Josiah looked at
me and asked, "Are you hungry?"
I was stunned for a moment before shaking my head.
Austin glared at me. When he saw how Josiah treated me, he snapped at me, "Why are you acting like
a spoiled person? It was just a child you lost, but you made Chef Albert go out of his way and broil
some soup for you. Do you know that he's a worldwide famous chef? What a waste of his time!”
Josiah wanted to stop him, but I smiled and excused myself, "The scenery here is good. I'll go out for a
walk!"

Hendrix shot me a distant glance and didn't say anything. Josiah agreed with me. "The scenery outside
the compound is pretty good. You can go take a look. There's also a bonsai garden at the side. You
can find a pond there with quite a number of fishes inside."
I thanked him with a smile and walked out.
"Josiah, what's wrong with you? Why do you care so much about this woman? Are you crazy? If it
weren't for the fact that she had married Hendrix unscrupulously, he would've gotten together with
Andrea a long time ago."
Those words were from Austin. I heard them even though I didn't want to. His voice was so loud that
everyone in the courtyard could hear him.
I refused to listen to him, therefore I picked up my speed. When I got to the yard, I really did see
unforeseen scenery.
Ucrebury was a city with a high standard of living. This yard was located in the center of the city,
therefore its luxury could be easily noted from the interior design. Right outside the yard, there was a
large space where a variety of flowers were planted. Indeed, the owner of the restaurant had a lot of
money to spare.
