My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 2262

"Leave the adults affair to the adults. You're still young, all you need to do is to study well and grow up healthy. Otherwise, Aurelia would be upset. You're allowed to live your life, you don't need to live for us, understand?"

I patted Neal's shoulder with much gratitude. Even though I was touched, these values and lessons were still needed for a child to understand. Neal sealed his lips tightly, not a single word was uttered, so I wasn't sure if he listened.

It didn't matter. There was still a lot of time, I could slowly teach him. After all, he was a boy, so it was probably better for Hendrix to speak to him. "In short, just do whatever you want to next time, there's no need to please others. The most important thing is that you are happy, do you hear me?"

"But I want to do this." Neal stubbornly looked at me. "I want Anne to be happy, can't I, Mrs. Roberts?"

In the face of such an innocent question, I was ashamed and speechless. Perhaps I'd been too sensitive. This was just a child that knew honesty and gratitude. There was no need for me to filter his every single action through the lens of an adult.

A child's World was pure. There were no ulterior motives, no entertaining anyone submissively. All they knew was repaying kindness with kindness. Neal was just unwilling to see the woman who had allowed him a home upset, was there anything wrong with it?

"No." I shook my head with a smile and placed the documents back on the table. I ruffled his shaggy head. "If you want to continue reading it, go ahead. However, promise Aunty this, once you're tired, immediately head to bed. And, you can't stay up past 3 in the morning. Can you do it?"

Neal's face revealed a hint of joy and he heavily nodded his head. "Yes."

After saying so, he sat back down and continued poring over the documents. His serious features lent him the countenance of an adult.

I silently walked to the door, looked back, and helplessly sighed.

After all, he was still a child. How

could he expect a few documents to explain the unexpected changes of a business I wasn't even sure if this little rascal could recognize hisz numbers, yet he was already bum-rushing the adult world. What was that if not a fruitless effort?

However, looking at his enthusiasm, I just couldn't bear to let him down. I just hoped that he would give up after encountering difficulties.

Learning such things at such a young age was extremely taxing. Not everyone was a genius like Wynn who could effortlessly absorb knowledge.

It was a rare night of well-rested sleep. I woke up at 8.30 in the morning and hurriedly made breakfast before rushing to the hospital.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

It was around 10 when I reached the ward. The "hangry" Aaron spotted me. "Oh man, I can't take it anymore, I'm reaching my limit. My kind sis, you are trying to starve me to death, aren't you?"

Meanwhile, I was thinking, could you

not? Even with his right hand being in that state, he still couldn't pass up the chance at playing diva. But what to do? He was a patient, and

patients were always right, which

was why I was forced to appease him. "Guilty as charged, guilty as charged. I overslept. But look, I've got all your faves here, chicken pot pie, dumplings from the Chinese restaurant across the street, brownies, and beefsteak. Bon appetit!"

Aaron squinted and took in all the food in a glance, raising an eyebrow at me. "Let's be honest, you made these yourself."

I bit my lower lip and nodded in guilt. "Okay, fine, yeah. I mean, you have a serious case of picky eater syndrome. If I made the same menu every

single day, you would have gone on an hunger strike!"

Aaron burst into laughter. He then

picked up the fork, skewered the

fn

beef steak, and looked at it carefully. "Cooking a steak is all about the temperature. It must have taken you at least 20 minutes to make it this juicy and tender, right?"

Without so much as a second thought, I said, "Yes, almost half an hour."

Aaron shook his head and put down his fork, smiling weirdly, making the entire situation awkward.
