At that moment, I didn't think I should interfere in their affair. I hesitated for a second before returning to the bedroom.
Unexpectedly, I heard Hendrix shouted, "Come downstairs and eat if you're done washing up!"
I peeped downstairs and caught Hendrix looking at me softly. Next to him, Andrea glared at me with her now teary and swollen eyes.
I let out a silent sigh as I went downstairs, sneaking into the dining hall.
Coming from the living room, Andrea intentionally spoke loudly, "Arianna is just an orphan. She has nothing at all. She won't be able to help you with anything when Roberts Group expands in the future. But I can. I have support from my mom and the Moore Family. These are the resources that will favor the Roberts Group."
Well, Andrea wasn't wrong. We weren't the ruler of the world. At the end of the day, we would still need to rely on our social connections and resources no matter how successful or outstanding we were.
It would be beneficial If he had Valerie and Pedro's support.
The noodles tasted blunt, and I slowly lost my appetite. I rested my head on my hand and listened to the conversation. "Andrea, if I can leave my wife and child for all the advantages from you, I'd do the same and leave you for someone more useful in the future."
"I don't care!" Andrea choked with sobs. "I love you, and I won't stop you from leaving if you found someone better in the future!"
Hendrix became slightly annoyed as he replied, "But I do. I'll only marry one person in my whole life, who is Arianna."
"But you don't even love her!" Andrea shouted back at the top of her lungs. "A marriage without love wouldn't work! You and the child are going to suffer because of this!"
