"No I don't!" Aurelia cried out. "I don't want that! I don't want that! I don't want that..."

Wiping away her tears, she then reached out to hug Anne. "I'll go to bed now, I don't want to leave mommy and daddy!"

"All right!"

Anne picked up Aurelia and secretly winked at me. She then comforted her as they went upstairs.

As I watched them disappear up the stairs, I brought myself to ask Hendrix.

"Mr. Roberts, where is your dignity as the head of the family? You should know your principles as a parent and as a father. So why did you retreat when faced with a minor problem like that?"

Hendrix leaned back and looked down at my hand. He smiled and said, "It's a minor problem for you, but that's not the case for me. I've tried so hard to get close to Aurelia for a very long time. I can't let all that effort go to waste."

After a brief pause, he pulled my hand away and approached me. He deliberately lowered his tone and narrowed his eyes. "Besides, who say I'm the head of this family?" "You rogue."
