My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 2042

She was only a child after all. She was so obvious in hiding her emotions that she couldn't pretend to be deceived. "How long did you sleep?" I asked Hendrix.

Anne answered before Hendrix could, "Daddy woke up in the morning. He helped Aurelia to wash up."

Did this mean that he has been doing Aaron's job and had less than three hours of sleep?

I felt a little distressed upon hearing this. Just then, Aaron came in. Our eyes met, and we both knew what the other was thinking about. He glanced over at Aurelia. He had placed the responsibility on Hendrix to take care of her.

I pursed my lips and smiled. "So you went to sleep and let Hendrix take care of the children all by himself?"

"Why are you blaming me? She's your child." Aaron shrugged. He seemed ready to fight to the end on
