As soon as I hung up the phone, I immediately received a Whatsapp notification from Freya, "News about you and Hendrix staying at the same hotel is spreading back in Zuckerberg. I don't know what Serene is going to do when she finds out. Be careful."
What? People were spreading rumors about a married couple living in the same hotel?
"Alright. You should be careful too." Freya was close to us, and I was worried that this might get her into trouble.
"I'm not alone," Freya blurted out. Listening to her mischievous tone, she must have had quite a good time the night before.
"Yes, it's not the same when you have someone." Cyril was indeed irresistible to her.
"Stop. It's not what you think it is, okay? Forget it. I'm going to continue my fun. Bye."
And with that, the call ended.
While glancing at my phone, I let out a helpless smile. But when the next second arrived, I could not help but feel a wave of discomfort spreading within my chest.
There were so many people in the world who were blessed with love, but why couldn't Hendrix be one of them?
As there was no way to change his fate, I could only struggle together with him.
Our plane landed in Ucrebury the next evening.
When we arrived at Uncle Trent's house, he was trimming a bonsai tree in his courtyard.
Hendrix walked forward poker- faced, and his voice was void of even the slightest bit of warmth. "Uncle Trent."
