I was planning on walking back before I realized that the entire estate where Flora Villa was in was huge. Almost all of the homes were bungalow-style villas, while the distance from one villa to another was pretty far apart. Although we lived in the same area, it would still take a huge amount of time for me to walk back home.
In the end, I decided to just drive Sawyer's car back home.
It was already twelve o'clock when I returned to the villa. Remembering that I still needed to get up early the next morning, I parked the car downstairs and walked back to my villa. I was keen on cleaning up and immediately getting some sleep.
Unfortunately, as soon as I got out of the car, I could see Hendrix standing near the front door. His tall demeanor was easily recognized under the glimmer of street lights.
I frowned. Why was he smoking outside for no reason?
When he saw me, he dimmed his cigarette and asked in his typical monotonous tone. "Where did you go?"
"Just having dinner with a friend." I was already exhausted at that point, so I decided to head straight into the villa after answering him.
Yet, Hendrix grabbed my wrist as he immediately pulled me into his embrace. I didn't know how long
he'd been smoking, but the staunch smell of cigarettes was almost suffocating me. "Hendrix Roberts!"
"Which friend? Are you really drinking while you're pregnant?" His voice was still hoarse.
The scent of alcohol must be from Sawyer while I was helping him navigate around.
I was not comfortable in his embrace, so I pushed him away and said, "I didn't drink at all!"
I was so exhausted that I could almost fall asleep on the spot, yet Hendrix somehow was still unsatisfied. He dragged me and pointed towards the Maybach, "That's a limited edition model, it must be worth a lot! Arianna, did you find yourself a new lover?"
What the f**k?
I almost cursed at him while I pushed him away once more. I was even angrier when I looked at his dispirited expression. "Hendrix, please don't use that shallow-minded perspective of yours to judge me. I'm not you. I don't date another person just because I feel like it."
Then, I turned around and went straight into my bedroom.
I locked the door, washed up and went straight to sleep.
