What was going on?
He couldn't remember anything, except the fight for custody over the kids?
Thinking that everything he had done until now was fake, I got a little angry and asked rather harshly, "Why are you reading this?"
Hendrix stopped eating and asked, "Why is my daughter's name in her uncle's family register?"
Only then did I understand what he was doing. I was stunned for a moment and then realized that he was just figuring a way to get back at Aaron.
After a brief moment of silence, Hendrix continued, "I can't remember the details of what happened before and I don't want to go too deep into it. But now that we're reunited, it's time to live a normal life. I'll accompany you to prepare the documents and register Aurelia under our household. I'll take care of her myself so that outsiders won't have to anymore."
Outsiders? Was he talking about Aaron?
He had taken care of Aurelia for six years and treated her as his own daughter. People would often say that a man's jealousy was much worse than a woman's. This was clearly very true.
Even though he had lost his memories, Hendrix was still quite arrogant. As an in- law, he had offended his brother-in-law and was now planning to fight for custody rights over the slightest disagreement.
It was like seeing a young, high-spirited Hendrix again. He was like a lone wolf who had gone through many hardships walking out in the snow. He was radiating a strong sense of ownership over his territory and belongings. Even his eyes were filled with wild ambition.
Fearing that he truly hated Aaron, I reminded him that his father was the one who called the shots and he had agreed to giving up custody over Aurelia. Aaron didn't do anything wrong.
When I said this, Hendrix didn't know how to respond. He seemed to have slowed down and didn't seem to enjoy the pasta as much as he did earlier.
