My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 2085

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."

Hendrix's temper had improved a lot but he was still very shameless. I would have been taken advantage of if he had continued. I pushed him away and ran back into the room.

While the girls were busy washing up in the bathroom, I quickly found the remote control on the bed and hid it in my closet before I then laid down on bed, feeling very at ease.

As expected, Hendrix began inching his hands around after the lights went off. It didn't take him long to start searching around for the remote control.

I snickered to myself and left him lost in the darkness looking for the remote control. I let out a long sigh of relief and fell asleep.

I had thought that the matter with Neal was already settled. However, it was very obvious that Aurelia had lost her smile in the past few days. She wasn't interested in her food anymore and she would be gloomy all day long. She wasn't even as responsive to Anne and Wynn as used to.

Since Freya was the one who'd practically raised her, I thought that she would have more experience on how to deal with a situation like this. So, I went to her for help.
