My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1057

I was shocked beyond words. After hesitating for a moment, I looked at him and said, "As your wife!"

His expression turned more pleasant, and he seemed to smirk. "You have a set of clothes in the wardrobe. Go take a shower and go to bed early. It's late!"

I frowned. He was already walking towards the bathroom.

Both of us were adults. Both of us understood clearly what my answer was hinting at.

Earlier, in the meeting room, when Evan told Linda about the compensation, she had been obviously crestfallen. She had a child to take care of. Even if she earned a good salary from the Milton Group over the years, a sum of tens of millions of dollars was still unfathomable. Even if she gave up all her savings, she would not be able to cough up such an amount.

It was the same for me. I could not help Linda with the compensation of such a huge sum. Previously, after Irvin's matter, I had already transferred all of my income from Advancer Tech to Hendrix.

Therefore, besides the house at Ucrebury and the old residence at Hovell, I had no more assets.

Therefore, I could only look to Hendrix for help. Since police investigations were still underway, there was still a chance we would find the missing items. Moreover, I felt that this burglary was not as simple as it seemed.

I was sitting on a sofa in a daze for a while. In the end, I got up and opened the wardrobe. As Hendrix said, there were indeed pajamas in the wardrobe. They were all from luxury brands and seemed to have been prepared in advance.

Did he really know me that well? Did he know that I would compromise in the end?

The bathroom door opened, and he came out wrapped in a bath towel. There were still drops of water dripping from his tanned chest, which looked particularly sexy in the dim lighting.

I shifted my gaze and lowered my head. "I'm going to take a bath!"

He wiped his hair and replied in a nonchalant tone. "Okay."

After all, we had made love before. We had been married for years, and we had slept together countless times, but this time was different from before.

This feeling was very strange. It may be humiliating, but I felt that Hendrix would definitely let me go as long as I asked.
