My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Before I waited for Aurelia's reply, I then asked, "Do the both of you have the same surname?"

As I asked this, both Daniel and Neal looked at each other but didn't utter a single word.

"Since this is such a coincidence, let's all get along then. I will be in the kitchen making breakfast, so no fighting, alright?"

Figuring that the kids would need some time to get along, I then headed back to the kitchen.

While we ate, Aurelia kept on holding onto her toy lollipop model. She refused to let go.

I joked with her and said, "That's not real. No one is going to snatch it away from you. You can get Daniel to make more for you when you get home. Come on, eat your breakfast properly." "No," Aurelia refused as she scooped up another spoon of oatmeal into her mouth. "Neal made this, and he only made one. So, I'm not giving it to anyone. I want to bring it to school!"

I became flustered the moment I heard this. I then turned to look at Neal who was sitting in the corner.

After taking so much time, effort and even building so many other models, Daniel still couldn't beat a simple lollipop?

Aaron, who usually just observed things, interrupted, "Those other models in the living room that you don't want, could I take some and play with them?"

"No! I'm not done playing with them..." Aurelia raised her spoon threateningly. When she saw Aaron's cocky smile, she realized that he was teasing her. With a blunt face, she grumbled, "You're so mean. I don't want to talk to you anymore!"
