He smiled. "That's right!" He looked at me and asked, "Didn't you have your dinner already?"

I laughed and said, "Yes, I did. I ate a little, but I didn't have much of an appetite. So I bought some snacks on the way back. But then, I bought them mostly because they are tasty."

He said helplessly, "Snacks are not good for your health. You will have to..." Before he could say more, I stuffed another handful of snacks into his mouth and stopped him. I then said, "I know snacks are not healthy, and I know I can't have too much of them. This is my first snack of the day, so stop worrying about me!"

I could hear him laughing faintly. He then said, "I see you haven't been eating well during my absence. You're looking thinner!"

I tilted my head and smiled at him. I asked, "By the way, when are you going back to Oakland again? How is the situation over there? What happened to Sebastian?"

He was focusing on his driving, and his dark eyes narrowed slightly. He said, "I'll go back after Yana's wedding, and you'll continue to stay here in Jarold City and take care of yourself."

I pursed my lips. I noticed that ever since the incident, he seemed to always remind me to take good care of my health, every time we had a conversation.

The car drove towards the police station. Looking out the window, I felt an inexplicable tightness in my heart. To have children or not, had become an invincible obstacle between us. He wanted children, but I wasn't capable of keeping a baby!

At the police station.

After pulling over, he gave me a sideways glance and said, "It's warm in the car, so you should stay here. I'll go down to the station to get some stuff done and will be back soon. Stay here."

I wanted to ask what matter had brought him to the police station, but before I could ask, he had already gotten out of the car. I felt the cold breeze from outside, and shortly after, it was warm again.

I didn't have time to ask him earlier, as I was preoccupied thinking of having children. I kept silent for a while, before deciding to call Valerie on the phone. She picked up shortly.

She said over the phone, "Arianna, aren't you coming back tonight? Where are you now? I can ask your father to pick you up."

"It's okay, I'm with Hendrix. We might not go back tonight," I said.

She hummed for a while before asking, "Why is he back suddenly? How are things back in Oakland? Your dad heard from Mr. Lawson that the Milton family is not easy to deal with, so why is Hendrix back so soon?"

I took a deep breath, clearly not at ease. I relaxed a little before replying, "Yana's wedding is coming up. He didn't want me to attend alone. You don't have to worry. He knows what he's doing." "Well, that's good to hear! I was just thinking of making you some soup if you dropped by later, so that you can get more nutrients. You know, you aren't good at taking care of yourself when you're alone," Valerie said.

There wasn't any hint of blame when she said this, in fact, she seemed to be concerned.

I could understand how my parents felt about this. I pursed my lips and hesitated a little before saying, "Mom, did the doctor mention if I can become pregnant again ever since the accident?"

This question was probably a bit strange. Valerie was obviously taken aback. After a long while, she said, "My dear, Anne is recovering now, and it won't be long before her health is regained again. Mr. Roberts treats you well too. You two can focus on raising Anne once he's done with the matters in Oakland. It won't be different from..."
