Despite all these years, I still fell into a daze when I saw Hendrix dressed this way.
It was very sweet to see them interacting so harmoniously.
Wynn first spotted me and called out, "Mommy!"
Then he ran towards me. Aurelia threw away her fairy stick and followed behind her brother, skipping up and down.
Both of them clung onto each of my legs, holding me in place.
"Mommy! Mommy!"
I smiled and gently rubbed their heads. I felt very satisfied to see them together. "Good children."
Hearing my voice, Aaron turned around and walked over. "You're back."
"Yes," I nodded and looked in the direction of the kitchen with a puzzled expression.
Aaron waved his hand, walked over to the sofa and sat down while saying, "Hendrix's cooking is getting rusty. He can't even cut vegetables properly. It'd be better to just get someone off the street. If he's like this, how can he take care of you and the kids?"
His disapproving tone made me feel both irritated and amused.
I told Aaron on WhatsApp that Hendrix had lost his memory, and I also said that he was a stay-at-home husband of mine.
What Aaron didn't know was that Hendrix had already seen through my lie with his sharp intelligence.
It was likely that Hendrix had already devised a means of getting revenge.
I smiled seeing how happy they were together. Out of the corner of my eye, I found that Hendrix, who kept a blank face, was smiling slightly. When I turned over, the twinkle in his eyes seemed even more obvious.
I suddenly understood why the richest man in the city was being so humble. He wanted to curry favor with Aurelia, that little glutton.
Hendrix spotted the curiosity in my eyes soon after. His smile then suddenly disappeared. He glanced at me as though to say, "Don't meddle in the affairs between me and my daughter."
I sighed and felt amused. I silently turned my face away and asked deliberately, "Aurelia, are the rice balls that your daddy made delicious?"
"Nope." Aurelia wasn't given Hendrix any leeway. She puffed out her cheeks and said, "It's not as good as the ones in my uncle's house, but my brother said I should eat more to make daddy happy."
Hendrix was speechless.
He thought, "Wynn, you really are my eldest son."
