My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

I gave the door a few light knocks.

Hendrix looked sideways and saw me standing outside the door. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was no trace of malice on his face. He spoke with a faint smile, "What delicious food have you made?"

I smiled and walked into the study, placed the noodles on the table, and wiped the coffee from the desk for him as if nothing happened.

I took the napkin in his hands and threw it away. "Just some noodles. It's my first time making this. Try it."

He smiled gently as if everything that happened was just an interlude. He sat at the table and ate quietly.

I cleaned up the mess on the table for him and asked, "How is Aunt Nerissa doing lately?"

Nerissa was Irvin's stepmother. To some extent, Hendrix and Irvin could even be considered cousins. He replied as he chewed, "She's fine!"
