Hendrix and Serene followed closely from behind.
After taking two steps, I suddenly stopped and walked up to Hendrix. In front of Serene, I stretched out my hand naturally, turned around, and tidied up his collar. After that, I flexed my fingers in a rather pretentious manner and fixed his tie. Finally, I took a step back and stared at my work with satisfaction. I then boasted, "That's better."
I stopped for a moment and looked up at Hendrix with an innocent smile. "Well, don't forget to come by to have dinner with the children when you have time. You're welcome any time."
After that, I turned around and left the hospital with Anne.
Even when I got into the car, I was still proud of myself. Who wouldn't envy me, if they saw that?
At the thought of Serene's face turning livid with anger, but not being able to flare up in that moment, I felt extremely happy.
So what if she was the one with Hendrix out in the open? The intimacy and gentleness between us was a chasm that she would never be able to bridge over in her entire life, especially for a woman who was devoted to her career.
There were magnets that would never be able to touch each other. So, even if the conditions were appropriate, they weren't necessarily truly suitable for each other.
"Mom." Anne suddenly hugged me with her face in my chest. Her big eyes flickered and she looked at me slightly confused. "Does Dad not like us anymore?"
"Huh?" I found this a little strange. I tidied up her hair and asked softly, "Why do you think that?"
"Dad doesn't want to eat with me..." She pouted, and there was a trace of sadness in her eyes. "Mr. Clark said that if someone likes you, you will get to eat a lot of meals together, so Dad must not like me."
