Neal looked at Hendrix before tilting his head. He smiled at Aurelia and said, "I'm going to buy the most delicious lollipop in the world for you. Can you promise me that you will stay at home and wait for me to come back?"

"The most delicious lollipop?" Aurelia brought her hand to her chin, and thought for a moment. She then smiled. "Well then, you must come back soon!"

"Mm." Neal nodded. He then glanced at Mr. and Mrs. Hiller, who had been waiting for some long time, before lowering his head in acceptance. "I'll be going then."

He then walked towards Amy and her husband.

I had warned him to keep his distance with Aurelia. The couple held onto Neal and nodded their heads in excitement, they couldn't wait to take him home. Soon, they left with Neal after expressing their gratitude.

Walking to the door, Aurelia suddenly shouted, "Neal! I'll be waiting for you!"

The three of them who were standing by the door suddenly stopped. For a brief moment, the obvious signs of hesitation trembled throughout the boy's small body. But then, in his desire to draw a clear boundary with everything in this house, he quickened his pace and soon disappeared from sight.

It was widely agreed upon by women around the world that a young girl's anger wouldn't last for more than three seconds. She would just be as clingy and as excited as ever the next time she saw him. Little did she know, this stranger that she liked so very much, was never going to return to this house ever again.
