My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

I nodded and smiled, "If it's inconvenient for you to live alone, you can move to the eastern suburbs and live with us. The house is big enough and lively."

Nerissa smiled and said, "Then, you should hurry up and have a baby. I'll head over and take care of your children."

I didn't reply to her. Upon noticing my reaction, she thought I was shy, so she didn't bring the matter up and got up, going to find a small stool in the room.
