The woman who shamelessly came to beg with her child, and the little one who brazenly stared at him. If that child had grown up well, he would be as grown up as the man smiling beautifully at him now.
“As much as he’s smiling at me now!”
Margaret suddenly spoke to Viscount Bain, whose complexion had changed.
“Why, why are you like this, Father?”
“….”
Swallowing dry saliva, Viscount Bain spoke.
“……Delta Viscount. I’m sorry, but I’ve been feeling unwell since earlier, so I think I should leave now.”
Delta Viscount furrowed his brows. No matter how the other person was a commoner without a title, he was someone introduced by Bellus.
“But leaving without even a proper greeting.”
It wasn’t that Jen had behaved rudely; it was rude towards Bellus.
“Moreover, it’s not just anyone; it’s Jen Baker. He should have been kept around; it wouldn’t have hurt.”
Disappointed once again by Viscount Bain’s short-sightedness, Delta Viscount replied, “Do as you please.”
At that moment, Margaret looked alternately at Viscount Bain and Bellus.
She was worried about her father here, but she felt sorry for Bellus, who had invited her father as a partner.
“I’m really worried because the viscount seems to be in poor health. I hope you’ll take good care of him with your generous touch.”
Bellus narrowed down Margaret’s options with an affectionate voice.
“I, I apologize. Then, I will, I will contact you later.”
Bellus just smiled. While contemplating the thought, ‘It’s fine.’
That’s how Viscount Bain and Margaret moved towards the exit.
Seeing everyone around them shutting their mouths and bowing their heads, Deira recalled what Deborah had said.
[If the lady is in the middle of a conversation with someone and that person passes by, she must stop talking, bow quietly, and wait.]People much more prominent than Deira were observing him already. Being in front of such a giant just now made his stomach churn with tension.
“Did you get hurt?”
Bellus put his hand on Jen’s shoulder and said.
“Why would you say such a regretful thing?”
“What kind of regretful words are those? I do care about you. At least more than those guys over there.”
Bellus gestured discreetly with his eyes towards where John, Derek, and Eric were.
Jen, who quickly checked to make sure they didn’t make eye contact with them, smiled silently.
At that moment, Delta Viscount’s secretary approached and whispered to him. Delta Viscount nodded.
“Do you have to go back?”
Bellus approached and asked. Delta Viscount, with a slightly warm smile as if asking when he became cold, said.
“Yes. There are things to take care of. I’ll leave this place to your father and brother, so enjoy yourself comfortably.”
Bellus smiled, gently closing his slightly opened lips.
That way, Delta Viscount left, and Bellus approached Jen and whispered.
“Shall we go somewhere quiet and have a chat for a while?”
Bellus seemed not to have the intention of introducing him to his father and brother. No, he seemed to avoid Jen meeting them.
‘So that’s why he’s acting like this now.’
When Jen looked at Deira without responding, Bellus smiled and said, “Feel free to contact me later.”
“It won’t take long.”
Bellus casually asked Deira.
“Could you lend me this guy for a moment, Viscount Blaise?”
Deira clenched her trembling hands and managed a faint smile as she had practiced until now.
“Of course.”
“Thank you for understanding.”
At that moment, Jen bowed deeply to Deira and said.
Bellus raised his head, puzzled by the sudden approach of Jen.
But Jen wasn’t trying to create a romantic atmosphere right now.
“Be careful.”
Due to Jen’s sudden approach, Deira felt her face might catch fire.
“Yes, yes.”
Jen was worried about Deira, who responded with short answers, but there was nothing he could do.
Up until now, Deira hoped that the efforts she had made with people like Deborah were not in vain.
‘Well, a few small mistakes are okay. After all, I achieved the main goal.’
Having revealed her existence in front of Viscount Bain was enough for success.
“…….”
The Baker family mansion had a library the size of a small bookstore.
Having borrowed a book from there, Deborah stopped in the corridor, where moonlight flowed like a stream.
Turning her head to look out the window, the moon, shining brightly, emitted a bluish light.
Deborah didn’t dislike the color blue, but sometimes, blue things reminded her of someone hard to recall.
At those times, Deborah tried hard to think of something else. But not today.
‘Bellus,’
The man who must be present at the party attended by Jen and Deira today. A person who believed that everything in the world would go according to his will and actually had the power to make it so.
‘Today, nothing will happen.’
Huh. Just as Deborah took a short breath and was about to take another step.
“Miss Deborah.”
A voice came from behind her. Deborah slowly turned her head and smiled.
