Chapter 1712


    I took a step back, lowered my voice, and said, "I''m about to sleep soon. Let''s talk about it tomorrow."


    There was no response as if no one was there, but I noticed that the shadow under the door never moved.


    As he was waiting, Hendrix changed his mind and retumed. He deliberately controlled his footsteps so that he wouldn''t make any noise. His footsteps


    were so silent that I didn''t notice him until he arrived next to me. I leaned against his frame gently.


    The three of us were only separated by a door, but it felt like life or death.


    After a long while, Irvin finally replied, "Have a good rest. I will grant you your wish tomorrow."


    Then, his shadow shed and disappeared in the direction of his room.


    It was not until the footsteps disappeared that I let out a sigh of relief and murmured to myself, "To fulfill my wish... Is Irvin bringing me to see my


    child?"


    Hendrix''s deep voice sounded out, "Do you still think he''s Santa us?"


    His tone sounded strange.


    "You''ve had your suspicions about Irvin for a long time now, haven''t you?" I asked


    Hendrix did not reply. He walked to the window and lit a cigarette. He breathed out a cloud of smoke in the howling wind, as if he had something


    difficult to say.


    "If you don''t want to tell me, then I won''t ask.” I walked over, closed the window, and turned to face him. "Smoking is bad for you, yet you want to


    inhale your own second-hand smoke?"


    Hendrix paused for a moment and put out the cigarette at the window sill. Then, he tossed the cigarette out through a small gap in the window.


    "Don''t you wanna smoke?" I was a little surprised andforted him. "Don''t worry about being discovered. I''ll open the window to get rid of the smell


    after you leave.”


    "I don’ feeftike smoking anymore,”


    Hendrix ?said tly. He then changed


    the su bject and looked at me with


    greatinterest. "Who would you

    This was the situation that I dreaded


    the most, and didn''t expect to hear


    it from Henglix After a brief period


    of shock, “looked at his serious


    appearance and couldn''t help


    laughing, "Hendrix, you know, you


    are very much like those youngsters.


    They are very jealous, um “You are


    more difficult to please than them.


    You are even jealous of your own


    son."

    Hendrix was embarrassed and nced away sheepishly, saying, "I already know your answer. It''s just as I imagined. So I shouldn''t be surprised by


    this."


    Iughed. "Who do you think I''ll choose?"


    "Not me." Hendrix shrugged, looking disappointed and aggrieved. "But Arianna, do you know that no matter who you''re up against, I will choose you


    over and over again?"


    He seemed to be joking, with a casual look, which made me unsure whether I should be happy or not


    After that, he did not wait for my response and began to climb out of the window. "See you tomorrow.”


    Then he jumped out, and disappeared into the night.


    I walked towards the window and looked around, but I couldn''t see him nor other movements. I waited for a while before closing the window.


    The next day.


    Because I wanted to see my child, I deliberately got up early and freshened myself up


    After breakfast, Irvin brought me out of the castle.


    I thought it was a long journey, but the car stopped after driving into the city for less than ten minutes.


    Irvin opened the door and got off. I followed him to a shop that seemed to sell watches.
