Chapter 2225
"You heard me. Hendrix isn't going anywhere and will be staying at home. Achieve your ambitions on your own. Don't even think about using my man."
The estrangement between Hendrix and myself was an internal dispute that we would settle ourselves. When faced with outsiders, showing weakness was equal to admitting defeat and I had never tasted that before.
Jordan frowned. He looked disgusted at me. He probably hadn't taken into account the shrewd side of me.
But he soon adjusted himself and put on a faint smile, making me feel uneasy.
"Arianna, why are you doing this? You know I would never harm you."
I sneered, "Good. I'm very interested to see if you even could if you had to."
Jordan was much too good with words and he looked confident that he would win. He gave people a feeling that every word he said was more powerful than a god's.
I however, didn't believe in God.
I had lived up to my conscience and had never relied on anything to alleviate my guilt. I was immune to Jordan's threats.
This also proved that Hendrix was mentally unwell.
I then intertwined my hand with Hendrix's tightly. Afraid that Jordan couldn't see this clearly, I deliberately lifted up our hands to show him our determination and that we would never be separated.
If a couple worked together, nothing would be a challenge. As long as our hearts were in it together, no one would be able to destroy us. This seemed to hurt Jordan. This was the first time I've ever seen a look of undisguised anger on his face.
He stared at us with his dark eyes, then took out his phone and quietly dialed a number. "Come inside."
I thought that I would finally see the culprit who had threatened Hendrix, but the person who came in was Andrea. Was this a coincidence?
Andrea's purpose was clear. As soon as she walked through the door, she stood in front of us. To be more precise, she was standing in front of Hendrix.
"Hendrix, aren't you coming? Do you want me to talk to your wife about your past?" Andrea looked at him coldly, completely ignoring me. Jordan suddenly lost his patience. He turned around and left, saying, "I'll give you two minutes to get him out."
Hendrix's eyebrows knitted into a frown when he heard Andrea say this. It was as if he was facing his worst nightmare.
I could feel his grip tightening on my hand and the sweat on his palm.
Hendrix wasn't a very sweaty person. But in the short span of a minute, he had broken out in a cold sweat.
I wouldn't have believed them if any of them told me that Hendrix had suddenly realized that he was in love with Andrea or any such nonsense.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
"Hendrix, tell me the truth." The
uneasy feeling in my heart made it
impossible for me to show any emotion. I looked at Hendrix calmly and held his hand tightly as Csaid this.
Couldn't he tell that I was on his side?
Perhaps I had overestimated the bond between us. As soon as I said that in my mind, I felt Hendrix loosen his grip on my hand.
Then, regardless of my persistence, he pried my hand away.
"I'll just be away for a little while. I'll be back soon. Wait for me at home, okay?" Hendrix placed his hand on my shoulder. He sounded very earnest, almost to the point of begging.
I refused. Looking at him in disappointment, I shook my head repeatedly I said, don't go. Hendrix I'll help you with anything you need. But you can't leave me and go with Andrea. We can't repeat our mistakes!"
