My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

I bit my lips and blinked innocently at him while trying to portray myself as naive.

Hendrix's face darkened. He was queasy and helpless. The corners of his mouth were drooping, as if he was put into a situation that had no room for negotiation.

"Alright! No more holding grudges!" I huffed.

As I spoke, a grin spread across Hendrix's face. Bit by bit, the corners of his lips pulled upwards. His handsome features were enhanced by his smile, adding to his charming appearance. It made him look especially attractive.

After all the laughter, the matter was resolved. Hendrix had a slight obsession with cleanliness, and the attire he was wearing was one of his favorites, but it was dirtied by Mullen for no reason. Unless he was treated sweetly, it would not have been easy to work out this issue.
