My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Having said that, Hendrix suddenly looked up at me. His deep eyes were glistening under his long eyelashes, making him look even more attractive.

"Do you still want her if Anne can't get through this?" There wasn't a trace of joy or anger in his tone. "Also, put everything aside for tomorrow. Come with me to the company to notarize the properties."

I froze on the spot and didn't know which question to answer first. After some time, I managed to say, "Why are we notarizing the properties?"

I still recalled the terms of law regarding notarization. Based on our current situation, we weren't dealing with any property disputes nor was our relationship crumbling. I didn't think there was any need to do this.

It was clear that we were living together in peace, so why do this? It was hard not to let other people think that dividing up our property was just the beginning of a separation which would include a divorce and a custody fight after.

Maybe my time as a lawyer had made me doubtful, but Hendrix was behaving very strangely.
