Alan furrowed his brows. However, Cassis, with a knowing expression, was aware that he wouldn’t have imagined what the girl would look like until he actually saw her.
After all, she was the terrifying lord’s daughter. So soft and cute… well, whatever.
Cassis put his hand on Bonita’s shoulder and said.
“Well, my lady. Are you here?”
“….What?!”
For a moment, Derek, who had maintained silence, gasped. He unconsciously took a step back, observing Bonita’s whole body in detail.
Even after scrutinizing every bit.
“You don’t look anything like the lord!”
“….You don’t either. You resemble your mother.”
“Well, that’s true.”
Derek stroked his chin and grumbled.
Taking after one of the parents is a common occurrence. At the moment, Derek and Alan clearly took after their mother, while the youngest, Cassis, seemed to resemble his father with a somewhat sharp impression.
However, the reason he was saying this was because the presence of the Renaissance Viscount was too strong. Compared to the image she had imagined, the girl in front of her was too small and… cute.
It was an unavoidable situation as he couldn’t remember the late viscountess.
He wiggled his fingers in the air.
“Oh, I’m Derek. Derek Hyacinth. I’m their brother and the eldest.”
“I’m Bonita Rishiancias.”
“Wow, so you’re really a Rishiancias. Is that fearsome viscount your father?”
At the mention of the words ‘fearsome viscount,’ Bonita immediately nodded vigorously.
If Luke knew, he would be quite upset.
“Yeah, come on in for now. I’m exhausted taking care of them.”
Although Derek was a prankster in front of Cassis, the children gathered here were mostly between three and seven years old.
Seven was somewhat better. The three-year-olds were completely uncontrollable, and Derek, the eldest at ten, was quite struggling.
Alan didn’t run away from the cookie house for no reason. As soon as he entered with the three children, a three-year-old baby attached himself to Alan.
“Derek, Kyung-ah! Cass keeps taking the candy I was going to eat!”
“What?! I was going to eat that candy from the beginning!”
“No, no!”
Derek closed his eyes tightly at the fight between the three-year-old babies. The tired look on his mischievous face was evident.
He muttered with a drained expression.
“Ugh… I hate social gatherings…”
Seeing that, Alan frowned and whispered to Bonita.
“See? There are too many kids here. It’s hard to play with the really young ones. Shouldn’t you have run away sooner?”
Even Alan, who spoke like that, was only eight years old, but he certainly seemed to see the three-year-olds as bothersome babies.
Cassis walked into a corner of the cookie house, wagging his head, carrying a thick book stuck in the chocolate bookshelf. He began flipping through the pages by nibbling on the adjacent lamp bit by bit.
Of course, it didn’t last long.
“Cassis hyung! Let’s build blocks together!”
“Hey, I said I’m going to play with blocks. Cassis hyung is always lazy and not fun!”
The two boys who were talking to him started quarreling with each other.
…Right in front of Cassis.
Bonita, finding it a bit bothersome but still smiling, eventually burst into laughter while watching Cassis, who reluctantly built blocks with the four-year-olds.
She started examining the interior of the cookie house amidst the noise.
There were traces of drool spilled by the babies and fist marks left by the young children here and there, but due to the large size of the cookie house, it still held its shape well.
Bonita admired the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
“What could that be made of?”
Unfortunately, the chandelier hung too high for the small children to check for themselves.
Bonita stopped reaching for the ceiling and turned her attention to the wall.
Similar to the outside of the house, various decorations that children would like were hung on the walls.
Taking out a bird made of white chocolate, Bonita suddenly wondered how many cookies, candies, and chocolates were used to make this house.
Stirring the chocolate, Bonita lightly tapped on the biscuit wall.
“How were these large biscuits baked? And why is the chocolate so firm?”
The chocolate holding the biscuits together seemed quite different from what Bonita knew. Did they put some glue in it…?
As Bonita pondered seriously,
“This, this, you fool! Everything is your fault!”
Alan’s shout echoed loudly through the cookie house.
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
