My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

I was a little puzzled by her words. I glanced at her and said, "I don't know if Hendrix will agree with this. Besides, we're getting older now, and we already have Anne."

She shook her head and uttered, "It's not about age. I'm older than you, yet I can still get pregnant. The Roberts' business is already so well established. Another kid will liven the place up. Then, when you guys are old, they can stay by your side and accompany you. This is what makes old age so exciting."

I realized what she was trying to say. I stared at her and asked, "Aunt Nerissa, are you pregnant?"

She did not deny anything and instead said, "Well, it's only been three months. It's not certain yet. Jarred and I plan to have a wedding soon, but we do not have the courage to tell Hendrix. This is why we kept postponing."

I remembered Hendrix had once said that he did not agree to the marriage between Aunt Nerissa and Jarred, because Jarred was part of the Milton family, and Hendrix had a grudge against them. Therefore, he did not agree to it.
