Pete raised his hand, vowing in a way that was both playful and endearing. I ignored his attempts to be cute and shook my head. I didn't want him to regret his decision later. "How about five days?" he asked.
I stayed silent.
"Three days, but not a day less, Ari." He becserious.

If I can't even protect you, what kind of man am I?" All the words I wanted to say got stuck in my throat, blocked by the determination in his eyes. All I could ask was, "What are you planning to do?" "You don't need to know, but I guarantee it'll make him regret it!" Pete's expression turned fierce. "I need my dad to realize that losingwould be a huge loss. His eldest son isn't invincible!" "You won't go too far, will you?" My face turned pale in the video, afraid Pete might do something reckless.
"It's my brother and my dad. No one's getting hurt. They'll just lose smoney." "Alright. As long as you know your limits." "Alright then. I'll transfer smoney to you later. If you see any furniture you like in Lexton City, just buy it and have it sent to the house.
"We can figure out the arrangements when I get there. From now on, I'll handle all the heavy tasks at home. I can't let my sweetheart tire herself out." The term "sweetheart" caughtoff guard, and I touched my cheek, feeling a bit flustered. "What are you talking about?" "I'm talking about you, my sweetheart!" Pete winked mischievously.
Hearing Pete call"sweetheart" over and over madea bit embarrassed. However, the anxiety I had been feeling for days finally began to fade under his influence.
As we ended the call, Pete sounded reluctant. "It feels like a dream. I really can't wait for us to meet in three days." I nodded and smiled at him. "I'm looking forward to it too." "But when that tcomes, I'll just be a rich kid with nothing else to my name. You won't mind that I only have money, right? "I feel like you're just showing off." "Ha ha. Our family isn't doing too bad, and I've saved up quite a bite over the years. I was worried you would think I'm broke, but I'm already looking into local businesses.
en "Once we're settled, I'll talk to sfriends about investments. Don't worry. I'll earn enough to take care of you." "I can earn money too," I said seriously.
"Wow. My sweetheart is really impressive." Pete grinned playfully.
I scoffed and ended the call.
