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.

Placing her stool behind me, she said, "Hendrix mentioned that your lower back is prone to pain after your miscarriage. I've never given birth, so I'm healthy. Sit down. Don't touch these if you don't feel well." I wanted to refuse her offer, but I couldn't persuade her. In the end, I went along with her and sat down on the stool.

After washing her clothes, she brought some fruits and sat in the yard. She poured me a glass of water and said, "Don't be shy. After all, you're already a mother. I've already decided on a name for Hendrix and your children. When the time comes, I will find someone to write out all the names. There will be a variety of boys' and girls' names. You can choose whichever you like."

The water in the cup tasted slightly bitter. When I took a sip, I felt bitterness in my throat.

We chatted for a while. Before I left, she was worried and reminded me, "Be careful on the way home. Send me a message when you get home."
