My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 2096

Hendrix suddenly lit up with a glow, and Aurelia was a precious pearl in his hands that could not be coveted by outsiders even for tens of thousands of gold coins.

The progress of human civilization had been born out of a sense of urgency, but Hendrix seemed to have undergone the opposite effect.

Everyone was an independent individual. Even if we could provide Neal with everything he needed to live, we had no right to decide how he grew, let alone control his thoughts.

I hoped that Hendrix had just been overly nervous about Aurelia and didn't mean what he said.

"These are all irrelevant," Hendrix quickly spoke again, changing his attitude. He crossed his fingers on his knees and looked dangerously at the car in front of him that Neal was in. "That child is resilient. He won't yield easily, but he is quite flexible. Today's incident might pose a problem. You and I both know that once the seed of hatred germinates, it is only a matter of time before it grows into a towering tree. There are only two ways to solve it. One is to make him disappear forever."

He paused here, and when he turned to me, the coldness in his eyes had disappeared. He continued with a smile, "But I know that you won't want to see this happen, so you made your decision just now. It's great to take the little fellow home. We will try to lead him towards the right path. If we can't, he won't be a threat to us in the future as we raised him."

Planning ahead was probably engraved in Hendrix's bones, but I was successfully convinced.

The wicked were sly, and it was hard to avoid a secret attack. If we wanted to protect our family, we must be more cunning and cautious than foxes. There are no saints in the world that didn't care about gains and losses. We were all mortals. It was the reality to calculate our interests and losses. At least from that onwards, Neal had a family and protection. No one in the Roberts household would mistreat our children. Hendrix and I were confident about this.

I was still unable to accept that I had been led around by the nose with just a few words. Although I already approved of it, I was still trying to provoke Hendrix. "Are you so sure that you can control Neal?"

How much could one's nature change? Even Jesus did not know that, let alone us.

Hendrix laid on my legs without a word and closed his eyes to rest. He looked relaxed as he said, "Mercy is the grave of heroes..."

As he said that, he pretended to

stretch and laid his entire body on

both my legs. No matter how line

pushed him, he was in a playful mood and refused to move.

I couldn't do anything about this. I looked up and found Evan peeping at the back of the car through the rearview mirror. He snickered, made me feel embarrassed. I had to pretend to turn my head away and stare at the retreating scenery outside the window. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

When we brought the child home, we saw someone we hadn't seen for a long time.

"Oh, my dear Arianna, it's been a long while since we last met!"

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a humanshaped figure in a printed suit with exaggerated gold- rimmed sunglasses approaching me with open

arms.

I subconsciously took a step back. Hendrix reached out his hand and pressed it against the other's chest. "There's no Miss Reid here, only

Mrs. Roberts. If you don't remember it the next time, I'll chase you away."

After that, he pushed the man, and he staggered a few steps back before stopping.

The man's face instantly fell. He

took off his sunglasses and complained, "I wonder how a man like you could be so pretentious. Do you understand social etiquette? I'm only being polite because you're with Hendrix, or else it would've been cheek-to-cheek already, believe it or not!"

We finally saw the man clearly.

Tobias hadn't changed at all. He was as eyecatching and annoying as before.
