Hendrix frowned and pursed his lips. "Arianna, are you going to just treat me apathetically?"

I looked back at him and said, "You can choose not to eat or just order takeout yourself." Saying that, I turned off the fire on the stove.

Good heavens!

As expected, he just talked nonsense and found it was boring.

After Hendrix finished his meal, I left the rest of it alone and went straight to the bedroom to wash up and sleep. I was already feeling a little tired.

It's probably best if you think about what evil deeds you've done that have caused karma to bite back for torturing your daughter to have an unpleasant delivery." "You..."
