"Whoever is dissatisfied may leave the Hayes Family and never be protected by the Hayes Family from then on." Because of that one sentence in Master Hayes' will, she couldn't do much.
Master Hayes must have guessed that there will be people who are dissatisfied with Tobias, which is why he said that. However, since Master Hayes had already left, the Hayes family will not do anything obvious to Tobias, but will definitely do something in private. It is likely that things will be hard for Tobias.
Hendrix and I bid Master Hayes farewell and were ready to take our leave.
"Mr. Roberts, let's have a chat?" Tobias chased after us. Perhaps it was because Master Hayes had just left, Tobias was still shaken up. He looked near to breaking down.
Hendrix looked at him with a calm expression and said softly, "Whatever you have to say, you can say it next time, Mr. Hayes. I believe you have something more important to do than talking to me now."
After that, he took my hand and we left, leaving
Tobias standing there alone.
In the car.
I couldn't help but ask, "There are so many descendants in the Hayes Family. Why did Master Hayes choose Tobias in the end?"
Hendrix looked at me and asked, "There are so many men in this world. Why did you choose me in the end?"
I was speechless. What kind of question was he asking?
Fine!
No more questions from me.
Hendrix came out of the bathroom after his shower. I hung up the phone and transferred the money to the card Sonia's mother gave me.
He just took a look and asked faintly, "Do you want to go out tomorrow?"
I was taken aback by that. I shook my head and said, "Don't you have things to deal with back at the company? We've done what we need to do here by visiting Master Hayes. When are we going back?"
He handed me the towel and said, "I'm afraid we can't go back for a period of time. We have to attend his funeral before leaving."
Oh right. I'd forgotten about that.
I could only nod my head. I couldn't help but let out a sigh, feeling a little frustrated.
