My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 2021

I kept hearing Aurelia's loud voice ringing in my ears and in my mind, I just couldn't stop blaming Hendrix for everything that happened. Suddenly, I heard a familiar, magnetic voice inside the room, "Hey lazy bum."

Sure enough, just as I was thinking about him, he suddenly appeared out of nowhere. I should have just kept quiet.

"Daddy!" Aurelia really was the perfect "daddy's little girl". The moment she heard his voice, she immediately let go of me, got up from the bed and jumped into his arms. She gave him a small kiss on the face and said, "I'm not a lazy bum. I've been awake for a long time now. It's Mommy..."

Hendrix was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "Mommy didn't sleep very well because the bed is too small. Daddy's going to take you out and then we're going to buy a bigger bed, then, we can all sleep together, so Mommy won't get stuck laying in bed."

"Yay!" Aurelia happily clapped her hands.

Was I the only one who thought that his reasoning didn't seem right? If we got a bigger bed, wouldn't we just want to sleep longer?

He had lied to a child and didn't feel any shame from it.

Hold on a minute!

I quickly got up, lifted the quilt away and sat up straight. I opened my eyes wide and looked at Hendrix, who was sitting beside the bed, "You're kidding, right?"

Was he planning to buy a bigger bed just so that he could satisfy his desires?

The thought entered my mind as I asked him that question. My face became so hot, it jolted me awake in an instant.
