People passing by on worn-out streets, stains on the roofs that were neglected, a dog and a cat looking at each other with a friendly gaze, a child pointing to the dog and a tired-looking worker.
And the most noticeable beautiful woman among them.
She was only a small part in the large painting, but Hazel found it hard to take her eyes off that woman.
Didn’t they say that the painter puts their soul into the painting?
She didn’t believe in such an old superstition, but at least for the little artist who drew this, the most important thing would have been this woman.
So… Aria Hilton.
Unlike other people who seemed to have no particular thoughts, Hazel, upon seeing the drawing, immediately grasped the context from which it originated. This place was undoubtedly where the two people had lived. Hazel vividly imprinted the scenery of the street in her mind. With this level of descriptive ability, she could identify where this was.
Once she found out where this was, then…
“…What am I doing right now?”
Thinking like that, Hazel, in the midst of the initial questions, fell silent. What was the point of finding out what to do afterward? Perhaps the Renaissance lady called Bonita wasn’t Elodie’s daughter after all?
She knew better than anyone that it was highly unlikely. Above all, it was well known that Bonita’s birth mother was Luke, excluding Elodie. Even the passing dog seemed to mock.
Hazel slowly rubbed her temples. It was clear that she had received too much shock today.
That’s why it was so confusing. That’s all.
As Hazel was trying to organize her thoughts, she unconsciously glanced at Aria again.
“Did Your Grace teach separate art education from an early age?”
“Recently, young ladies in high society draw pictures as a hobby. It would be great to develop talents from an early age.”
“Our child might not be able to follow this, but… Maybe we should consider inviting a music or art teacher.”
“Come to think of it, didn’t Miss Hilton have an interest in this? How did she start drawing…?”
Aria was surrounded by the ladies.
Hazel thought she might be in a difficult situation and reached out to calm down the excited ladies.
However…
“Huh.”
Hazel’s hand, upon seeing Aria’s expression, froze in mid-air.
At first glance, Aria’s face seemed embarrassed by the unusual reactions of the ladies, but somehow, Hazel could read the sincerity mixed in the mask.
Seeing Bonita’s drawing, Aria seemed extremely surprised.
As if she knew nothing about Bonita’s skill, just like the other ladies.
…But, isn’t that strange?
To various questions about Aria on the tea table, she told them that she raised Bonita. Bonita’s attitude was that of a child addressing her main caregiver. So, it shouldn’t be a lie.
It shouldn’t be.
But how could she not know? For the past seven years, not once did she witness the child drawing, even though she was the primary caregiver herself?
…Does that make sense?
“…”
Hazel massaged her tired eyes persistently.
The insurmountable doubt deepened even more.
“Oh, our young lady!”
Upon seeing Bonita springing off the carriage, the gatekeeper Dalton, with a wide-open mouth, ran over. Bending his knees, he locked eyes with Bonita.
As if overwhelmed by cuteness and not knowing what to do, his face was extremely beaming.
“Miss, did you enjoy your outing?”
“Yeah!”
Thinking of the fairy-tale-like gingerbread house and the bustling children, Bonita vigorously nodded her head. It was especially enjoyable to draw again after a long time. Returning to the familiar and old house where she had waited for the past Aria before coming to the Duke’s residence.
“I’m glad you look happy.”
Dalton couldn’t bring himself to pat the head of the high-ranking lady, so he just twitched his fingers. Aria, who noticed Dalton’s affectionate gesture, laughed heartily from behind.
Thud.
A pale white hand rose above Bonita’s head.
Bonita giggled at Aria’s touch, stroking her head. Dalton sent Aria a hot and passionate look of envy.
The main gate opened at that moment.
“You’re later than I thought.”
Luke’s low voice was heard.
Catherine, who was next to him, tapped her staff impatiently with an annoyed expression.
“Later than you thought?! You came in a whole day late! Going out overnight with such a little one!”
“…Didn’t you say Mother was at home?”
“Are you telling the old lady to stay cooped up at home? Anyway, raising children is useless, as I always said…”
Luke rubbed his forehead.

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
