Nathan Secada just wanted to warn her that she should be careful and not bring anyone to his house, because she had helped him.
But he didn’t tell her why. When Ariana heard his words, she became angry. She stared at Nathan coldly.
-Mr. Secada, are you suggesting that I am intruding?
Nathan froze. She continued speaking.
-Are you unhappy because I took you to my house? -Ariana looked at Nathan angrily.
That’s what men are like.
-Especially men who have fallen out of love, she thought.
-If I had known he would react like this, I should never have brought him home. -She continued to think.
Nathan said, “No, that’s not what I meant.
Ariana became very angry, -That’s not what you meant, so what do you mean, didn’t you just say that I’d better stay out of this kind of thing if I run into it in the future?
-Yes. -Nathan nodded, rather helplessly, -That’s what I said, but what I meant is that, apart from this incident today, you’d better stop being like this if you encounter them in the future.
-Why! -Ariana was still angry, at this point she had not understood him.
Nathan did not know what to say.
-How can this girl be so slow now, he thought.
Since he owed her a favor and was at her house, Nathan explained patiently, even though he felt a headache, “What if next time it’s a bad guy? It’s dangerous to bring a man home when you live alone as a girl.
Hearing this, Ariana finally understood what Nathan meant.
-Do you mean that all men are dangerous except you?
Nathan explained, “What I mean is that strange men are dangerous, including me, so you’d better watch out for those things.
Hearing him say that, Ariana’s anger instantly boiled over and she growled in response.
-So you’re worried about me. It wasn’t for nothing that I went to all the trouble of pulling you away from the bar, it was exhausting. -After saying that, Ariana thought of something and hastened to add, -Don’t worry, I’m not a fool. I know you are not a bad person and that is why I decided to help you.
Nathan wanted to say something else, but he coughed a couple of times when he was about to speak, and Ariana saw him and stood up, -Do you want some water?
But, when she stood up, he let go and then fell down where she sat before.
Nathan saw it and frowned, -What’s wrong?
Ariana looked at her leg, then looked at Nathan and said accusingly, -I have a numb leg.
Ariana had no choice but to reach out and rub her legs gently for relief, but she dared not do anything else as she felt the pain and numbness in her legs as she moved.
Nathan looked at that, thinking that he should help her because of her numbness.
For a moment, he reached up and pulled her close to him, “Let’s go.
Ariana thought he wanted to relax her leg for her, so she immediately refused, -No, no! No…
Before she could finish the words, she was hugged by Nathan. She was stunned, clutching her clothes with wide eyes.
-What do you want to do?
Nathan looked at her and said nothing, he just walked over and placed Ariana on the couch and said softly, -You have been too long in one position and the blood is not flowing well for you to feel the numbness and tingling in your legs. Lower your legs slowly.
Ariana was about to reprimand him, but Nathan’s voice, slightly hoarse from wine and sleep, was so soothing that Ariana did as he said.
It took a while for Ariana’s legs to feel less numb and sore, and she looked at Nathan.
-You just hugged me without my permission.
Nathan remained silent.
Nathan answered, “I am so sorry.
-You have to promise me one more favor!
Nathan looked helpless, “Okay.
Even though Ariana did not know what Nathan could do, she was not going to let the opportunity pass her by. -Maybe we will really need his help in the future. -she thought.
Unfortunately, however, Nathan did not know what she was thinking. And he probably didn’t know that because of these two favors he would get into so many entanglements with the cunning girl in front of him in the back that he would end up….
Of course, these are things that happen afterwards

A year is divided into 365 days, a day has 24 hours and an hour has 60 minutes.
Time may seem like a lot on the surface, but the passage of time waits for absolutely no one.
Pepita would soon be a month old and Kennedy Moore had become a super dad, as he was basically taking care of the baby because he was worried that his wife Alice would suffer.
Kennedy was in charge of changing diapers and giving formula.
Alice didn’t have to do anything.
She wanted to, but Kennedy wouldn’t let her. Kennedy took good care of her and Pepita during the postpartum period, taking all the dirty work on her shoulders, and then Alice ate and slept every day.
She was also given several supplements during this period, so that after a month, Alice had only lost the edema, but not her weight. When she looked in the mirror, she shot an angry look at Kennedy.
-It’s your fault. I have to do something, or I’m not going to get thinner.
Kennedy patted her head, “You’ve been too hard. You don’t have to do that. I’m here, aren’t I? I can do anything. Okay?
She thought it was good, but she had to take care of the baby, too. Or Pepita only knew her dad but not her.
Actually, Alice was a little bit heavier than before, because, in the past, she had to take care of a lot of things because she was so skinny. Now she was a little heavy, but she was doing well.
Still, Alice decided to wait a few days to join a class at the gym to get in shape.
Alice wants to spend more time with her children, and Yanis knows that, but he envies her.
Do you know how many men don’t take care of their children? That’s one of the reasons many women get depressed after giving birth.
