My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 2114

"You're right, she did a pretty good job. She's growing up and has the right to choose how she wants to live."

I said while I picked the side dishes from the table.

"That's not what I meant." Hendrix took a deep breath and stared at me. "I mean, do you like that place?"

"Hmm?" I was stunned for a second, then laughed, "What does it matter if I like it or not? It's such a big project. It's not like you could abandon the whole project just because I don't like it."

"Why not?" Wait, he was serious about that? "I could spend billions of dollars, but it would mean nothing if my dear wife doesn't like it. If she doesn't, why should I keep it then?"

Even though I was not in the mood for jokes, I could not help but laugh. "What has gotten into you? You've been so corny these days. Aren't you sick of it!?"

"Nope, I still think there's space for more of that corniness. It'll be best if you could stop hanging out with Freya and the others so much and just keep me company, so I can tell you how much I love you and need you whenever I want," Hendrix stated with a straight face.

I was at a loss for words.

I thought he used to be a man of little words.

As we fell silent, Aaron's roguish ingratiating voice drifted in from the outside. "Baby, honey, my dear wife, can we have another daughter? Just one more. I really like having a daughter. Pretty please..."

I was not having it as I placed my palm on my forehead. I looked at Hendrix. It seemed like he was not having it either.

Hendrix shot a glance at Aaron and straightened his back, showing his elevated status and authority.

I couldn't imagine how these two clingy men would be when they finally returned to their families. I shook my head and chased off the image from my mind, raising my voice to say, "I love it. I love the people, and the things they sell. Everything's just great. Anne mentioned that there's going to be 99 pairs of newlyweds having their wedding in western costumes on the opening day. That itself is already exciting enough, not to mention the other activities."
