Ding.
As Aria, holding Bonita in her arms, entered the store, a woman reading a newspaper inside was startled.
“Welcome… Aria? And Bonita too? What brings you here at this time?”
“Ha-ha. Maybe you could give Bonita some clothes?”
“You’re buying clothes for Bonita?!”
The woman’s shocked reaction caused Aria’s smiling face to freeze. Bonita reached up and tightly grasped the front of her mother’s shirt.
Bonita’s small gesture melted Aria’s expression. Rene, the store’s apprentice and Aria’s drinking buddy, watched the scene with a bewildered look.
“Uh… The boss isn’t here right now. You’re going to choose the cheapest ones, right?”
“No!”
Aria quickly exclaimed.
“Not the price, but something that would suit Bonita the most… Well, anyway, something pretty at a reasonable price, please.”
“In all my years, I’ve seen it all now.”
Typically, Aria paid little attention to her daughter. Although she provided for Bonita, she treated her more like a pet dog than a child.
Affectionate at times, and at others, grumbling about the inconvenience. Occasionally, Aria would vent her anger, then hold her daughter like a crazy person, murmuring someone’s name.
To Rene, Aria seemed like a strange mother, definitely not in a good way.
But today, she was here to buy outing clothes for Bonita, and in a shop frequented by wealthy commoners, no less.
Rene muttered in amazement and disappeared into the back of the store.
“Here! I’ve prepared about twenty outfits. Let me know if you need more.”
“Thanks.”
Aria smiled at the sight of the cute children’s clothes hanging on the tray.
“Come on, Bonita! Let’s try them all on.”
“All of them?”
Bonita exclaimed in surprise.
Twenty outfits? That was more than she had worn in her entire life.
‘I might never finish changing clothes!’
Of course, that didn’t happen.
After about three hours of being Aria’s doll, Bonita reached out to the mirror in a daze.
Thump.
A cute handprint appeared on the mirror. Bonita’s pink eyelashes fluttered.
‘Unbelievable!’
The pale blue dress made of silk featured real lace, carefully stitched, one stitch at a time.
Bonita, amazed, repeatedly touched the white lace and ribbon on the front.
To her, who always wore old clothes, this soft fabric was a whole new world.
Aria, watching her open-mouthed daughter, inwardly regretted.
‘I wanted to dress her in something prettier.’
One year old, two years old, three years old…
Bonita was so adorable and cute at seven years old that Aria wanted to nibble on her, but how much more when she was younger? Just imagining it filled her with regret.
Aria smiled bitterly and stroked Bonita’s head.
“Shall we choose this one?”
“Yes! But, wait…”
It must be expensive.
Seeing Bonita’s face darken, Aria gently pinched her cheek.
“Don’t worry. From today, you’ll be the richest person in this country.”
“Me?”
Bonita floated 3cm off the ground again at the words ‘the richest person in the country.’
Bracing herself for a scolding, Bonita tightly closed her eyes and shouted.
“Mother, no, gambling is not okay! Really not okay!”
“……You gambled too? Really crazy, aren’t you?”
“Um?”
“Oops. What am I saying in front of a child!”
Bang! Bang!
Aria hit her head against the wall twice and then smiled broadly.
“It’s nothing. Let’s go outside.”
Bonita’s pink eyes shook wildly, witnessing her mother’s strange behavior.
‘Did she really hurt her head…?’
She had heard that people could lose their senses from drinking too much.
Indeed, many people in the streets were like living corpses, steeped in alcohol and drugs. For a man, the worst was usually getting beaten up and robbed, but for a woman, especially one as stunningly beautiful as Aria, with her dazzling blonde hair, things could turn much more tragic.
Bonita’s mind raced with terrible thoughts.
She grabbed Aria’s skirt with a pale face.
“Mother…!”
“Do you want me to hold you?”
Dangling.
In an instant, Bonita found herself cradled in Aria’s arms, too shocked to protest.
‘What should I do?’
Could her mother really be insane?
Bonita’s little head was filled with confusion. While she was fretting internally, Aria hailed another carriage.
“To the Lysianthus Duke’s residence!”
“At your service!”
The spirited coachman grabbed the reins and responded energetically.
After closing the small window connected to the coachman, Aria finally set Bonita down beside her. The skinny, small girl, nowhere near as tall as the slender Aria, looked pitiful.
“Mother, why are we going to the duke’s…?”
“Bonita, listen carefully to what Mom is about to say.”
Gulp.
The serious atmosphere made Bonita clench her fists and swallow hard, but she couldn’t conjure any pleasant thoughts.
‘Is Mother planning to sell me?’
Many noble houses, surprisingly, sought after young girls, especially cute ones like Bonita.
