However, there was no point in fretting with Hendrix. Trying my best to suppress my emotions, I looked at him and asked instead, "By the way, what happened today? Aren't Austin and Andrea on good terms? Why did he change his attitude so suddenly? What went wrong?"
He hugged me tightly and said, "He's probably in a hurry. Andrea doesn't want to marry him, yet she has been relying on him. Needless to say, men and women are the same. Up to a certain age, there will always be some worries. The Shelley family has been pressuring him to get married. After so many years, he's anxious. He's a very traditional person by nature and he agrees with the elders. He thinks that marriage is what he needs right now!
"He's getting old. Andrea is not willing to marry him. She's been wasting his time and he had been lost for so long. He's also very anxious. I told him just now that you are pregnant, which means that we are going to start our own family soon."
Hearing this, I realized that Hendrix seemed to be very different from before. In the past, he was ambitious and would constantly try to get to higher ground. He was like an emperor who wanted to expand his territory, but now it was different. He had decided to focus on our family, our home.
Seeing that I was staring blankly at him, he raised his hand and touched his nose, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
I smiled faintly and said, "I was just thinking to myself that I must be a good mother in the future. No more fooling around."
He smiled slightly and said, "What, that's it?"
"And a good wife, of course!" I leaned into his arms and said, "Once Anne is cured and our child is born, everything will be fine."
