My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

When I came back to my senses, I saw that the Anne and Bennett was already ways ahead of us with Norman trailing close behind them.

I shook my head at lan, not knowing what to reply him.

He looked at Norman, who was following the children, serving as their protector, and then turned to look back at me. He raised his eyebrows and said, "He seems solid, character- and looks-wise. He's just a little old, but overall a pretty good choice."

Feeling confused by his words, I could not help but look at him with a frown. "What?"

He shrugged and said, "I'm helping you find a match!"

I chuckled, "Looks like you're not very busy with work."

He curled his lips and said faintly, "Actually, I think he's a nice guy and he treats you well. He's been taking good care of Anne too for the last few years. You're already in your thirties. Since you've moved on from your past, it's time you start planning for your life ahead. Find someone to keep you company so that when Anne grows up, you won't be lonely."

I put my hand on my forehead, ignored him and continued tracing the steps of Norman and the kids.

He followed me and said loudly, "Don't ignore me. I'm being serious. Hendrix's about to get engaged, and since you've also already let things go, you need to think about your future."

My body suddenly stiffened, but only for a moment. I stood there stunned for a brief moment. I looked back at him and asked nonchalantly, "He's engaged?" Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
