When Hendrix and Andrea finally returned, they were in a good mood. Both of them had something in their hands. Seeing that I was staring at nothing absent- mindedly, Hendrix handed his to me and said, "Try it!"
I had never been interested in sweet things like cotton candy, I just took a tiny bite and said casually, "It's too sweet. It's getting late. We should go back."
Without waiting for them to agree or disagree, I headed straight for the hotel. I had nothing to say along the way.
When we returned to the hotel, it was almost dusk. I took a room card from the receptionist and handed it to Hendrix. Because I was tired and sleepy, I didn't want to talk. I said, "Naomi's staying with me, this is your room key!"
After giving him the room key, I went straight into the elevator and prepared to go back to my room.
As soon as I opened the door, a black shadow entered the room behind me before I could close the door. Hendrix turned on the light and glanced around. When he saw no one, his black eyes fell on me. "Do you want me out because we've walked too far and you're tired?"
I frowned. "Don't read too much into it. I used to having Naomi stay with me. I didn't expect that she wouldn't do so tonight."
I was not in the mood to talk about any more useless things with him, so I left hims there to change my clothes and wash up for bed. He closed the door and hugged me from behind. His chin fell on my shoulder and he said, "Are you angry?"
I shook my head. "No, I'm just too tired." I was too tired to even be angry.
He sat on the bed and held my waist while guiding me to sit on his lap. "Is this better?"
I was sure of myself. I leaned lightly on his shoulder and sighed, "Hendrix, today you are disqualified as a husband."
I didn't want to fight, but if I held back the grievances in my heart, I wouldn't feel good, so I spoke.
I shrugged and said indifferently, "You said to view her as a sister. What's there to be jealous about?"
His smile widened slightly, and he held me in his arms. "I will pay more attention in the future to put you first at all times. I promise you that I will be a qualified husband, okay?"
My mouth twitched, and I held back the involuntary smile. "That's your choice, it has nothing to do with me. I don't control you. I just wanted to remind you."
He grinned and not letting me out from his embrace, his warm lips came down on mine lightly. Looking at his dark eyes, I had a feeling where this was headed and grumbled, "Hendrix, it's getting late. I want to rest."
He raised his eyebrows. "It doesn't matter. I'll take care of things!"
It took me a second to realize what he meant by "I'll take care of things".
