My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 2093

Hendrix was not interested in bringing up trifles. After he sent the couple away, he focused on pleasing his little princess and said, "Daddy has punished the person who hurt Neal for you. Will you forgive me now?"

"Well..." Aurelia pursed her lips and didn't reply. Her small eyes rolled around, and I wondered what she was planning with her quick wit.

Hendrix straightened his back and frowned slightly. "It's something still to be considered?"

"Yes!" Aurelia giggled. It sounded like she was in a better mood. She grabbed Hendrix's fingers with her hands and rubbed them against him. "Dad, let's take Neal home. Don't leave him alone, okay?"

When Hendrix heard this, the smile on his face dissipated considerably. He swept a helpless glance at me before turning to look at the child on the bed again. The next second, he got up and led Aurelia to the bed, looking down at him.

"Why didn't you call for help?" Hendrix asked.

Neal was silent for a moment and replied hesitatingly, "The people who left me behind have never appeared again."

It sounded heart-wrenching to hear such words coming from a child's mouth. He was only six, yet he knew that there was no way to force a reunion in this world.

He looked calm on the outside, but he silently chewed on the suffering he experienced and pretended to swallow it.

What happened to him before was suspicious, but I believed that what he said had come from the heart. It was probably how all abandoned people in the world felt.

I was no longer so resistant to Aurelia's proposal.

After he said that, he seemed hurt and even weaker than when we first found him. Comfort at this time would likely do nothing much to help and since we had no experience with this, all we could do was keep him company in silence.

After a long time, Hendrix's low

voice sounded again, "From now on, you are a member of the Roberts, and the Madam is your mother. You will be siblings with our childWould yott be willing to?"

Neal suddenly looked up when he heard this. A flurry of emotions were entangled in his eyes, but it was evident that he was in disbelief the most. Before he could speak, Hendrix let go of Aurelia and walked over to me. He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and started to joke. "However, I can't make family-related decisions. If you want to stay, we1;; have to see if you have the ability to convince the Madam." "You..."

He had already made his decision to be a good person. How could he pull me into this? If I disagreed, wouldn't I become the villain? "Mommy, say yes. I beg you, Mommy..."

Before I could finish my sentence, Aurelia, the princess whom no one could afford to provoke, came to me and grabbed at me, pleading for me to accept Hendrix's proposal.

I didn't seem to be in a position to refuse, but I felt that Hendrix had cheated me. I was in a daze and didn't know what to say.

Neal suddenly lifted the quilt and got

out of bed. He looked at me with stubbornness and determination. "Madamd want to live. I want to survive. You saved my life, so I want to repay you. Please take me in. I won't let you and Mr. Hendrix down. I won't cause you any trouble! Please!" This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

As he said this, he gave a full 90-degree bow. His body was thin but strong, making people unable to refuse him.

Yes, he just wanted to live, to grow without fear or danger. What was wrong with that?

"That won't do." I said, "Can we be called a family if we don't trouble each other?"
