Andrea's face turned pale, and she hoped to get sympathy from Hendrix.
Hendrix's face didn't look too good. He said coldly, "There is not enough space in the car. Wait for Austin!"
Then he went around her, started the engine, and left!
I looked at Andrea from the rearview mirror, who was standing on the same spot. I looked at Hendrix, frowning, "Don't you feel sorry for her?"
He pursed his lips and looked at me, "Do you want me to feel sorry for her?"
"Just drive!" It is the same for me whether he felt sorry for her or not.
Anne was well-behaved along the way, probably because she liked to sit in the car. She was very excited, and from time to time, she would even stretch out her little hands to grab things.
Our car stopped outside the Paris Manor, at the gate of the villa. Valerie and Pedro were standing at the door and seemed to have waited for a long time.
Valerie came to me upon seeing us. She smiled,
"There you are. Dinner is ready. We're just waiting for you."
Both Valerie and Pedro looked at each other when Hendrix brought Anne out of the car. They looked surprised, and asked me, "The child survived?"
I pressed my lips together, and I turned hostile, "Valerie, are you going to try again?"
Valerie's eyes suddenly turned red. She shook her head hard and said, "No, don't think too much about it, child. I'm happy. I am glad the baby is all right."
Hendrix was holding Anne. He did not say much, only said, "Let's go!"
The dining area was located on the first floor. Both Ian and Sawyer had arrived, so were Josiah and Chloe whom Arianna had not seen in a long time.
Arianna was very surprised to see her here.
Ian once said Chloe was the reason Monique got into an accident. I felt irritated looking at the woman who has become more elegant.
