I downloaded the YouTube app for him. Eventually, I couldn't contain my curiosity and opened his
WhatsApp.
As expected, Hendrix's WhatsApp was relatively quiet. Aside from his family and close friends, there
were only names of notable businessmen.
He had named all contacts except for one, labeled as Aunt'. Slightly baffled, I couldn't recall Hendrix
having an aunt.
I've never heard it from Dalton either.
"What are you looking at?" His voice came from behind, and I almost threw the phone away in shock.
Hendrix was drying his hair with a towel while he asked me, "What do you feel like eating? I'll cook it for
you."
I mumbled, "Anything!" And I returned the phone, putting it in front of him. "You have an aunt?"
He nodded. "Yes, she lives in Jarold City. I planned to take you and pay her a visit when we go there in
a few days."
"But I've never heard Grandpa mention her before," In fact, no one in the family had ever mentioned NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
her too.
"She had left the Roberts family since she was a teenager to pursue her studies in Jarold City, and she
barely comes back," Hendrix explained.
Even though she barely returned, it shouldn't be to the point where no one in the family had ever talked
about her.
Then, I suddenly remembered that Hendrix and I hadn't visited Dalton ever since he passed away. So, I
put the phone aside and crawled towards him. I circled my arms around his waist and stared up into his
eyes, "Hendrix, before we go to Jarold City, let's pay a visit to Grandpa."
His hands running through his hair stopped midway as he was flustered by my suggestion, but he
agreed with a nod.
Seeing that, I reached out to his cheek with a smile and gave him a peck. "Then, will you quickly
arrange a time?"
I got out of the bed to use the bathroom, leaving Hendrix as he stayed baffled in that position.
I knew he was surprised. As I was aware that Dalton and Hendrix used to be on bad terms, I felt the
need to help him let go of the grudges. In some way, it was for his own good, and I wanted to do
something because of my gratitude to Dalton.
When I came out of the bathroom, Hendrix was no longer in the bedroom. I went downstairs to find him
in the kitchen.
His eyes fell on my feet as I walked down the stairs. He frowned in worry, "Please put on your slippers.
The ground is cold."
At his words, I looked down at my bare feet.
I had forgotten about the slippers because earlier, I was too busy looking for him.
After putting on my slippers, I went into the kitchen. "What are you cooking?" I asked, tilting my head to
one side.
"Beef bone broth," he approached closer to me as he answered. With sparkling eyes, Hendrix pleaded,
"Another kiss?"
I wasn't ready with that request, and my face blushed. Grinning like a young girl in love for the first
time, I asked, "So, have you decided when will we visit Grandpa?"
He smirked, "I'll tell you if you give me another kiss!"
Decisively, I gave him a smooch. "There, can you tell me the plan now?"
Hendrix's face brightened up, and he grinned. For a moment, he captivated me just with his smile, and
he looked extra attractive.
"We'll go on the day after tomorrow."
"Great!"
I went to bed and slept especially well that night. When I woke up the next morning, Hendrix had
already gone to the company.
Filled with boredom, I stayed in bed a little longer, contemplating if I should head back to Bronzy Condo
to get my phone. It had been inconvenient not having my phone around.
I was surprised when I went downstairs to catch the sight of Monique and Minnie chatting.
Stunned, I asked, "When did you come here?"
Monique took a glance at me and spoke, "I've been here for quite a while. I even brought your bag and
phone along. Let's have breakfast, and we'll meet Ian at the hotel later."
I nodded excitedly and thought, "What a plan!" Monique was a social butterfly, and she could have
endless topics with literally anyone. She and Minnie had been discussing anything from food to
pregnancy care, and it looked like they wouldn't stop anytime soon.
