My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Anne pretended to get up and look at Aurelia seriously, "If you insist on waiting for Neal, then he'll be separated from his parents. In this case, maybe we might also be separated from mommy and daddy

tomorrow. Are you sure you want that?"

"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?"

He brought his thumb and forefinger close together. He gestured to show how close he was to something.

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."
