"So, all these tantrums against me are because you want to move out? You created such a big drama just so that you can be with Irvin? Arianna, why do you think you can do whatever you want, go wherever you want when you're married to me? What does a marriage certificate mean to you? To you, is there no restriction at all?"
I couldn't hold it in anymore. All Hendrix mentioned was Irvin! I pushed Hendrix away with all my might and cried out, "Irvin, Irvin, Irvin?! Is it all about him? Don't you know the relationship between him and me? Don't you know why he got hurt? Why do you keep targeting him? Even if there's something between me and him, it wouldn't be as intimate as you and Andrea anyway! Hendrix, to me, marriage is between two people sharing one heart. But you destroyed it. You destroyed the happy marriage that we had from the moment you got together with Andrea. I have waited for you with all my heart for three years! No matter how foolish I might be, I sacrificed myself to save our marriage. Life is short, so I don't want to waste my years holding grudges towards you and Andrea. No matter what the relationship you have with her, whether it is
stemming from concern or responsibility, I don't care! If Andrea wants to be Mrs. Roberts, I can give the title to her! I only ask for one thing now, which is for you not to defame me or others, be it Irvin or Sebastian! Please take note of your moral grounds, and not frame others carelessly!"
Hendrix's lips curled into a cold smirk, "Has someone said something to you? Why would you think that my feelings for you are worthless?"
I sneered, "Please go and ask your beloved Andrea." After a pause, I chuckled and said, "Yeah, she is so delicate and kind in your heart. Why would she let you know? She picked up your phone and told me that you were in the bathroom. She even showed off how loving you both were. She'd never let you know about all these things she does, because she wants to keep her innocent image in your heart!"
Hendrix stared at me, with his fury subsided. He pursed his lips and did not say a word.
I took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued, "Mr. Roberts, next time before you try to frame others, think of what you have done first. Also, stop the bullsh*t about being loyal in marriage. It's ridiculous and disgusting coming from you. You may say it to Miss Burton! Perhaps she would understand you!"
Leaving the villa was an act of impulse, but since I had already done it, there was no reason for me to go back in.
I took a taxi to the hospital and saw that Florence was taking care of Irvin as he had just fallen asleep. She was stunned when she saw me and said softly, "Miss Reid, it's so late. Why are you still here? You haven't slept well for the past few days. You should rest at home for a while!"
I was so tired but still forced a smile. I shook my head slightly and said, "I'm fine." Then I looked at Irvin, who was lying in bed haggardly, and asked, "How's he doing today?"
"Mr. Granger is better now, but after all, he is seriously injured and still can't get out of bed. By the way, his mobile phone kept ringing today and he didn't let me pick it up. I don't know if it's his relatives who called," After that, Florence went out of the ward.
