Chapter 2041
Hendrix heaved out a sigh of relief, as did I. The moment our eyes met, the corners of our lips curved up into a smile.
"Well, now that that's settled, I'll go bring them back. You guys have just recovered from some serious injuries. You should both get some rest after staying up all night."
Aaron turned around to leave.
Hendrix then grabbed his arm and said indifferently, "Evan will take care of it. Emma and the child will arrive in the afternoon. Are you going to go and meet them like this?"
"Emma?" Aaron was confused. "What do you mean?"
Hendrix let go of his hand and approached me, saying, "I mean, two days ago I arranged for a private plane to Mesville. Emma and the child are on their way."
I didn't know he had arranged this, so I was just as confused as Aaron, "You planned for it?"
Hendrix stood still and put a hand on my shoulder, smiling. "Since it's a family reunion, I figured we shouldn't leave anyone out. What's more, you, my brother-in-law, haven't seen your wife and child in such a long time. It's easy to feel stressed out. So, yes, I did plan this in advance for you."
Aaron squinted his eyes slightly and raised his eyebrows, "Why do I feel like you're tricking me?"
Hendrix shrugged and brought me into the conversation. "My dear wife, did I do something wrong?"
"Humph..." What should I say? I could feel Aaron's sharp eyes and Hendrix's puppy dog eyes on me. Whoever I chose to side with didn't matter.
I simply turned around and got out of Hendrix's embrace. I yawned as I walked upstairs. "I'm sleepy. Let's talk about this later. I'll leave the children to you two. I want to get some good sleep. Please don't disturb me. Toodles!"
Hendrix said, "You heard her, my man. Arianna asked you to take care of the children. Now, I have to be with Arianna. Otherwise, she won't be able to sleep well."
"Hey, you guys! Are you kidding me?" Aaron didn't get a word in it. Hendrix disappeared once Aaron reached the stairs. He could only shout at the top of his lungs at how unfair this was. "I'm the president of a company, not your nanny!"
The only response he got was silence from the empty staircase.
Although it was the weekend, the children would still wake up on time. Aaron could sleep for another three hours before he had to wake up to take care of the kids.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
When a person was exhausted, they would fall asleep the moment their head hit the pillow. As soon as I laid down on the bed, drowsiness began to sweep through my body. I felt Hendrix lay down beside me, but I was too tired to respond. I.

whispered, "Will something like this happen again?"
"Never." Hendrix turned to hug me. He buried his head in my neck and breathed into my ear warmly. "Go to sleep. I've already arranged a place nearby for your parents and uncle. I'll wake you up when they're here."
This was like a sedative. With the warmth of Hendrix's body and his familiar scent, I fell asleep immediately.
It was the afternoon when I woke up. The bedroom was very quiet, which made me think that I was the only one at home.
I thought that Hendrix had already dealt with Nathan, so I went downstairs to see how things were.
When I reached the living room, I saw Hendrix and the kids on the sofa, but they weren't making any noises at all.
Hendrix was holding a tablet. He
seemed to be working on
something. Wynn was wearing headphones listening to an online class, Anne was reading a thick book of an unknown subject nearby. Even Aurelia was obediently sitting at the table studying.
This was a little odd no matter how you looked at it.
Hendrix was the first to notice me. He put down his tablet and stood up. He walked up to me and planted a kiss on my forehead. "You're awake." "Yes," I nodded, "What are you doing?"
Aurelia heard my voice and immediately jumped up and said. "Mommy, you're awake. Daddy was so bad, he didn't let me speak!"
Anne immediately teased her and tickled her. "That's because you are so noisy. You woke daddy up, and you tried to wake mommy up as well, you little monkey."
Aurelia giggled. She tried to avoid her tickle attack and refused to submit. "No! It was uncle who said..."
She seemed to realize that she had betrayed her uncle, so she pursed her lips and stopped talking.
