“Oh, she stopped crying." Ariana looked at Theodore in surprise. She would never have thought he had any skill in coaxing children.

Theodore noticed the surprised look on Ariana's face and said with a smile, "When I was a child, my mother always coaxed me in this way. I didn't expect it to work on her too."

“Your mother definitely loved you very much." Ariana sighed, feeling sorry for Theodore.

The more she knew about him, the more she understood how difficult it was for him to stay in the Anderson family. On the one hand, Darian was far from being a qualified father, and on the other hand, his stepmother was trying to sow discord between him and Darian. And then there was his half-brother who was unpredictable. In Ariana's eyes, the Anderson family was not a good place to live. It hurt people.

"Really?" Theodore smirked, but Ariana was taking care of Alina, so she didn't hear him. Ariana gently placed the little girl on the bed and pulled the comforter over her.
