He nodded calmly and waited for me to continue.

I pursed my lips and said, "You and Hendrix are ride- or- die partners. He's a person who needs warmth and emotional support. Of course, we're all the same. I don't want us to end things on a bad note."

I paused and went on, "You can tell Anne the truth, but only when she reaches 18. And it'll also be up to her whether she wants to recognize you as her father or not. Of course, in these eighteen years, you can see her any time you wish to. If the Saunders family can take good care of her, I'm fine with letting her spend her holidays with the Saunders family. Just for her to see the elders occasionally."

He was surprised by what I said. Perhaps he hadn't expected that a compromise like this would be possible with me.

"Are you serious?" He looked at me, his face firm.

I nodded. "Yes. I've made this decision, not for you but for Hendrix. I don't want him throwing away his brotherhood with you because of me. I'm not going to look into you and Hendrix's shared past, but I hope that the relationship between the both of you will always be the same as before.."

He seemed taken aback. After a long silence, "Arianna, thank you."
