Chapter 41
"Hendrix, no! I'll get an infection!" I screamed frantically. Andrea just had her miscarriage, therefore
Hendrix could not touch her. It was the same for me, but I could understand why he acted like that.
I panicked when he did not stop. "Hendrix, the doctor said that we can't do it for a month. Please."
I was on the verge of tears.
He probably noticed the pleading in my voice and eventually stopped dead in his tracks. He held me in
his arms quietly and pressed his thin lips against my collarbone.
After a long pause, he was breathing normally again. He let go of me and his eyes were dark as he
asked, "Are you hungry?"
Suddenly, my stomach growled and I felt very embarrassed. I nodded and smiled awkwardly. "I haven't
eaten anything today."
Hendrix was taken aback. His eyes landed on the cucumber from earlier before giving me a
complicated look. He asked again, "You were planning to eat a cucumber?"
I nodded and replied, "There's a greasy smell in the kitchen. I didn't want to cook either, so I washed
some cucumbers."
He lowered his eyes and the corners of his lips curled. He looked as though he was smiling but he was
seemingly at a loss.
Shortly after, he got up and went into the kitchen. When he doubled back, he was holding a bowl of
noodles. He had even cracked two eggs on it.
I was staring at him blankly. He noticed my expression and raised his eyebrow. "Come and eat!"
Although it was an order, I did not hate it.
I recalled what Josiah had told me earlier that day. If I was honest with Hendrix, would he handle
everything?
I stood up and went to the dining table. I noticed that Hendrix had only made a bowl of noodles. I was
puzzled at this and inquired, "Did you eat before you came back?"
He nodded in response and motioned me to eat before lowering his head to check his mobile phone.
The noodles were delicious. Yet, after a few mouthfuls, I felt nauseated and tried to hold it in.
However, I could no longer endure it. "Urgh!" I started retching and immediately dashed to the
bathroom. I threw up everything I had just eaten and my stomach felt worse than ever.
"Does it taste bad?" A voice rang behind me. I froze before turning over my shoulder to stare at
Hendrix.
I shook my head hurriedly and explained, "No. I haven't eaten anything for the whole day, so my
stomach probably couldn't handle it when I started eating. I'm just a little nauseated from it."
Then, he helped me up and dragged me to the second floor. I was a little confused.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
He took off his suit and changed into something more casual. After that, he peered at me and said,
"Get dressed, we're going out to eat. Is there anything you'd like to have?"
I was momentarily dumbstruck and then declined swiftly, "I'm not hungry. Even if we go out, I won't
have the appetite to eat. I'm not going."
However, he was not convinced. He stared and me and concluded sternly, "I'll wait for you outside."
To be honest, I was not hungry but...
After pondering about it, I changed my clothes and went out with him.
In the evening, Ucrebury was crowded and lively. Hendrix was driving as he glanced at me from the
corner of his eyes. He asked, "What do you want to eat?"
I thought for a moment and replied, "Something light."
I was probably throwing up because I was pregnant and could not stand any strong smells.
He nodded in acknowledgment. I stared at his handsome and warm eyes, and then something dawned
on me all of a sudden. For the first time ever, things were peaceful between us.
For a few seconds, I longed to be together like this forever. It would be great if Hendrix, me, and my
baby could live happily ever after!
The car pulled over at a restaurant. I got out of the car and went to look for a seat. Fortunately, it was
late and so there were not many customers.
As soon as I sat down, the waiter handed me the menu. Since Hendrix had eaten while I did not have
any appetite, I ordered only some snacks and pumpkin soup. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Unexpectedly, after Hendrix had parked the car, he was not alone when he came into the restaurant.
Andrea and Austin were behind him.
Was it a coincidence? Or did they have plans to meet up?
