My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

The villa was not very large by Hendrix's standards. The total area of the villa was about three hundred square meters. Of course, for an ordinary family, it was a luxury to live in it. The villas that Hendrix had purchased previously were all much larger than this one.

But I preferred this one. This villa was the most comfortable one he had bought. The villa's color scheme was an inviting, light yellow.

The furniture was not leather but instead covered in luxurious, umber, soft fabrics. The hall was filled with photos of Anne and me. Some I've never even seen before.

Some of them were him and Anne. Judging by the pictures, it looked like they were taken after I left Jarold City. There were also photos of Hendrix, Anne, and me together. Most of the photos were candid, from the time when he and I sent Anne to school.

I name the feelings rushing through me. I didn't know if I liked it or hated it.

I felt a burning sensation behind my eyes. I looked away, instinctively wiping away the tears that had trickled down my face.

Needing a distraction, I went into the kitchen and boiled water. I found the tea leaves and cut some fruits from the refrigerator.

The decorations in the villa reminded me strongly of the house in Jarold City.
