For a moment, Naomi was also stunned. What she wanted to do was to take back the bracelet. She didn't want to put up with Rowane's acting. It didn't matter who the bracelet ended up with. But when Hendrix suddenly pulled Rowane back, she scowled.
There were a lot of onlookers, and everyone was baffled with the confusing scene in front of them.
I guessed what Hendrix was going to do. He held Rowane's hand and gaze at me with a bit of disappointment in his cold eyes.
"Mr. Roberts..." Rowane was puzzled. She raised her head and looked at him, her gaze pitiful.
"It's yours, so wear it!" Hendrix spoke in a low but compassionate voice.
After speaking, he slowly put the bracelet back on Rowane's wrist. He held her hand and said in a gentle and soft voice, "Put it on. Since this bracelet is given to you, it's yours. Don't take it off so easily."
Rowane didn't expect that Hendrix had a soft side. For a second, her face, which had been tainted with anger, suddenly showed a look of shyness, with a hint of joy of being loved.
"Hendrix, you..." Naomi was so frustrated that she was about to beat him up.
Sebastian, who had been busy dealing with the barbecue grill, hastily came over and pulled Naomi aside while asking, "Don't you want to see the stars tonight? Do you want to watch the dark clouds and lightning? If you keep arguing, there will be a storm."
While talking, he held Naomi, took the knife away from her hand, and handed it back to me.
I froze for a second. Then I looked up to Sebastian. He told me, "It's your own problem. Settle it yourself!"
Me...?
I couldn't help but look around at the stares I was receiving. At that time, everyone seemed to think that it was me who incited Naomi to cause trouble.
She thought for a moment and asked, "Answer this question first. What's your relationship with Hendrix?"
"Yes, yes, I just realized that he regarded you differently from others. Are you and him old lovers?" Tina also came over and wanted to listen to our gossip.
As expected, when women scented gossip, they would never be able to resist it.
"What old lovers? Arianna is Hendrix's lawfully wedded wife, but he was seduced by that evil woman!" Naomi joined the gossip. She was still furious and enraged.
The two of them gaped at me with huge wide eyes. "So, you're Hendrix's wife?"
At this point, if I didn't explain clearly, I was afraid that there would be more misunderstandings and contradictions. So I stopped cutting the vegetables and said, "I'm his ex- wife. We're divorced."
