My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 733

He nodded calmly and waited for me to continue.

I pursed my lips and said, "You and Hendrix are ride- or- die partners. He's a person who needs warmth and emotional support. Of course, we're all the same. I don't want us to end things on a bad note."

I paused and went on, "You can tell Anne the truth, but only when she reaches 18. And it'll also be up to her whether she wants to recognize you as her father or not. Of course, in these eighteen years, you can see her any time you wish to. If the Saunders family can take good care of her, I'm fine with letting her spend her holidays with the Saunders family. Just for her to see the elders occasionally."

He was surprised by what I said. Perhaps he hadn't expected that a compromise like this would be possible with me.

"Are you serious?" He looked at me, his face firm.

I nodded. "Yes. I've made this decision, not for you but for Hendrix. I don't want him throwing away his brotherhood with you because of me. I'm not going to look into you and Hendrix's shared past, but I hope that the relationship between the both of you will always be the same as before.."

He seemed taken aback. After a long silence, "Arianna, thank you."

He was still a man of few words.

I looked down and said monotonously, "You don't have to thank me. Although I don't know how much you loved Monique, at least for now, I can see that you do love Anne. I think Monique and I would agree that there's no harm in having one more person to love Anne."

Since I had said everything I wanted to, I didn't ask him to stay any longer.

He didn't seem to care about my brashness. After a moment of silence, he spoke, "I would like to bring Anne back to Hanlusia City, not because I want to introduce her to the Saunders, but because I want to bring her there. I promised Monique that I would if possible."

I frowned. Although I felt a little uncomfortable with the idea, I still nodded. "Okay, but not too long."

"It won't be. It'll just be three days."

"Alright, let me know when."
