I sat back at the table and continued to eat with my head lowered. Just a few minutes later, I couldn't sit still anymore.

Hendrix had been looking at me all the while, which made me a little uncomfortable.

I forced myself to finish the last bite of food. Then, I looked at him and said, "I'm done eating!"

He put down the knife and fork in his hands, looked at me with a more serious look, and said, "Did your dear Mr. Roberts stop you from having your breakfast?"

Feeling slightly embarrassed and irritated at the same time, I said, "Hendrix, stop teasing me!"

He burst out laughing and got up to walk towards me, a doting look in his eyes as he said, "Did I tease you?"

The audacity!

I didn't say anything else, but his phone rang just at the right moment.

"You should answer your phone!" After saying that, I went straight upstairs.

Hendrix had been so unrestrained lately, and he wasn't controlling himself at all.

I had planned to have a good rest over the weekend, but I didn't expect Naomi to call me.

In her usual tone, she said, "Arianna, let's go to Lancille Village to visit my grandfather. Last time, we mentioned that we would go there, but we ended up not going."

I had totally forgotten about it. I nodded and said, "Sure, are we going now? Or should we wait until one o'clock in the afternoon?"

"Let's wait till the afternoon. We'll just stay there for tonight. I haven't gotten up from bed yet. It'll probably take a while for me to get everything done. I'll come pick you up when I'm ready!"

I nodded and said, "Okay, you can call me then." I suddenly recalled what happened last night.

I suddenly recalled what had happened the previous night. I couldn't help saying, "How were you last night? Why did you get up so early today?" She had drunk quite a lot!

She sighed, "Don't even mention it. I feel terrible. If it weren't because I wanted to get something out from Linda, I wouldn't have drank so much alcohol. D*mn it, my head is still hurting even now."

"Is Sebastian not at home?"

"Yeah, he seems to have something else to do. He went out so early in the morning today. I woke up to a call from my grandfather just now, so I gave you a call as well. I intend to get a little more sleep. Let's go later," Naomi's voice sounded a little lazy, and it seemed like she was sleepy.

I nodded and said, "You should continue sleeping. It's fine. I'm just reading some books at home. Since Sebastian isn't at home, why don't you come and have lunch with us at noon?"

"No, thanks!" she refused. "I don't think I'll be able to get up by noon. Besides, that poker faced man of yours is at home. I'm more afraid of meeting him, so I won't come."

I smiled, and I no longer insisted.

Hanging up on the call, I went straight to the study. Probably it was because the house was still quite new, there were not many books in the study, only some documents and magazines. A book titled 'The Three of Us' was placed on the bookshelf. I couldn't help but reach out my hand to have a look at it.

I didn't expect Hendrix to have such a book. I was in a good mood, so I simply sat down and read it.

When Hendrix came in and saw the faint smile on my lips, he walked over and sat down beside me as he asked, "What book are you reading? Why do you look so happy?"

I subconsciously raised my hand to touch my face and asked, "Happy?"

I had replied to his question with another question, but I didn't expect that he would derive some other meaning from it. The corners of his lips curved into a smile as he said, "I'm happy with you by my side!"

I paused for a moment. It was probably because of the book, but I couldn't help but feel warm inside. I said, "A good relationship will even make bystanders feel really happy. How wonderful this family is!" He smiled and said, "Well, when you return to Jarold City with me, we'll be a family of three as well."
