I didn't want to explain myself anymore. What my love was like wasn't crucial. I looked at him and remained calm, "I'll slowly learn to stop loving you, Hendrix, you can rest assured that I won't cause you any trouble."
He slammed the door and left without a word.
After having near-death experiences several times, I learned a lot. I packed up my clothes, and Minnie rushed up to me hurriedly. She grabbed my hand and said, "Arianna, you can't leave! I know Master Hendrix has a bad temper, but I'm sure you can tell that he cares about you! You young people shouldn't make decisions impulsively. You will surely regret it in the future."
She firmly stood between me and the front door. Powerless, I tried to talk sense into her, "Minnie, I'm not going anywhere far. I just don't want to live here anymore."
She shook her head and held onto me with determination. Seeing that she could not reason with me, she burst into tears.
I put my hand on my forehead, feeling helpless.
We pushed and pulled for some more time, and I had no choice but to compromise. In the end, I stayed, but instead of sleeping in the master bedroom, I moved to the garden room on the top floor.
I was already three months into the pregnancy, and my baby bump had already started to show. I couldn't simply go around with it like that, so I basically only traveled between the company and the villa daily.
Fortunately, the Advancer Tech's case didn't have much to do. I only needed to check the market report and their data every time I went to the office.
I heard that Hendrix was on a business trip abroad. But I didn't pay much attention to him. Even when we were living under the same roof, we weren't connected by our hearts. Where he went was none of my business.
On Friday evening, Monique called and asked me to go shopping with her. She said that my baby would be born in a few months, and it was necessary to buy baby products.
"Okay," They were probably finding ways to get funds for them to develop their technology company, and that was fine. Business matters put aside, I looked up at Kelsey and asked, "Are you dating someone?"
She was surprised, but she quickly answered shyly, "Well, yes, we're about to get married." She subconsciously touched the ring on her finger.
I smiled, "Is it someone from our field? Aren't you planning to ask him out and have a meal together with me?"
Girls in love were always radiating with sweetness. She grinned and said, "We've been quite busy these days. I wanted to wait until we had a bit more time. Also, if you don't mind, Director Reid, we would like to ask you to be the witness at our wedding."
"You guys are planning the wedding already?" I was a little taken aback. According to my observation, she should have only begun dating recently, about one month or two.
