Chapter 357
Hendrix's voice was a little low and I couldn't sense any emotions behind it. "Have you arrived?"
I responded with a sound of agreement. Noticing that Irvin's gaze was on me, I spoke with the phone
closer to me, "I just landed. Heading to a restaurant for lunch now."
"Great. I've found a housekeeper for the home. When you're done with your work, please head back
earlier. Don't stay out too late at night." Why did I feel like Hendrix was getting a little long-winded?
I nodded slightly and hung up the phone.
Irvin looked at me and pursed his thin lips. "Does Hendrix seem to be worried about what I'll do?"
I shrugged my shoulders. That was obvious, needless for me to say.
Seeing that, he smiled faintly and did not take it to heart. "After we're done with our work tonight, you
can take a rest for a few days at Ucrebury before heading back. I know that you're more comfortable
here as you've stayed here longer before."
I nodded. I realized that we've reached the restaurant. I got down the car and entered the restaurant
with Irvin.
I didn't sleep well the previous night so I felt a little drowsy. I only had a few bites before I lost my
appetite.
I placed my hand up to hold my chin while waiting for Irvin.
"B*tch, when is it your business to care about mine?" The voice was loud. It penetrated the silence in
the restaurant. Most of the customers turned their heads to the direction of the voice.
Irvin and I followed the direction of the voice and saw a man throwing a dish of hot steaming food at a
woman.
A waiter went up to them. I wasn't able to really see how they looked. I could only vaguely make out
that the woman had been hit badly by the man.
I couldn't help but to frown seeing the scene in front of me. This must be domestic violence, right? Was
anyone going to stop the man?
The argument between the man and the woman escalated. Irvin took a few more bites and probably
lost his appetite to continue eating as well. He looked at me and then said, "Let's go. We'll take a rest
for a while then head to Fantasia at two in the afternoon later."
I nodded and stood up with him. Subconsciously, I turned my head to take a glance at the woman who
was now calling out as the man was hitting her.
I couldn't help but to frown. Why hasn't anyone stopped them?
The woman curled up and lowered her head to the ground instinctively as she saw that the man was
about to throw the glass he had in his hand. Her actions screamed that this wasn't the first time the
man had been doing such things.
Out of instinct, I yelled, "Stop!"
I came to my senses after a while and couldn't help but to scowl upon my own actions. This sort of
domestic violence was really not appropriate for strangers to interfere. Even if I could help out then, it
would just be an exception.
But the words uttered cannot be taken back. It was impossible for me to leave.
The man stopped what he was doing and turned to look at our direction.
I was stunned as I took in who the man was. It turned out to be none other than Calvin Hammer!
How could it be him?
I looked at the woman who was all curled up. I saw her lift her head to look at us.
As expected, it was Kelsey. However, I had expected it to be her and yet I was still startled to see that it
was her. As the realization that it was indeed Kelsey came upon me, I saw that the fine features that
she once had was gone. What she had was just weariness frayed with a fragile, shattered look.
How could a person change so much in just half a year?
When they both saw me, they were equally stunned as well. Calvin sneered, "Look who we have here. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
It's Mrs. Roberts. What's wrong? Aren't you in Jarold City with your Mr. Roberts? You're back now?"
His eyes fell onto Irvin who was standing behind me. He raised his eyebrows and said mockingly, "Tsk.
I see that you've changed your man."
I frowned and ignored his words and looked at Kelsey. For a moment, I didn't know how to express how
my heart felt.
How did she turn out to be like this?
