My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

In fact, it wasn't so much that it was hidden, but rather that I hadn't paid enough attention to him.

I didn't ask, because I just wanted to know if the promise we made with each other in the past still counted right now.

Hendrix was just like that scar. He didn't try to hide himself away, but he had always been standing under a heavy shadow. He habitually chose to be silent. But now that the shadow had faded away, it was time to reveal his heart freely under the sun.

Everything was difficult in the beginning and there was always a first time.

"That year when you were kidnapped while you were pregnant with our first child, we heard news from Jarold City that someone had found out the truth about my parents' accidental death. I rushed over there by myself. As expected, I was ambushed and got shot in the leg. Although Pedro's men saved me, I was bedridden for two whole months."

His tone was light, critical and relaxed. It was as though he was talking about someone else.

I still felt a stabbing pain whenever I recalled the events of the year. On top of the despair I felt from losing my child, I still agonized about the darkness I had been stuck in from my coma that lasted for two whole months.

At that time, Hendrix had been so eager for revenge. He knew that it was a trap, but was willing to take the risk and gamble his own life away, neglecting me and our child. There must have been a reason for this.

But in the end, we had fought hand-in-hand, until now. Whatever happened in the past should stay in the past.
