He heard it as a rumor.
The Duke, who ruled the southern region, was closer to a bear or monster than a human.
At that time, he secretly laughed at how exaggerated the rumors were.
Even if a person is huge, could they really be as colossal as a real bear?
It was just a slightly fierce appearance, a quiet personality, and the unique position of being the only Duke in the kingdom that inflated the rumors even more.
…That was what he thought until he came to the Duke’s residence.
‘But it turned out to be true.’
Luke Luciansath, whom he had only heard rumors about, was indeed as rumored.
Even just swinging that large fist seemed like it would break all the bones in his small body.
‘To think of him as my father.’
He might not survive under his own name.
Bentley’s body trembled.
Indeed, no matter how much he thought about it, home was the best.
He just wanted to be hugged in his mother’s arms and play around.
This snotty kid… No, the one unexpectedly poking at a painful spot was truly nauseating in the playroom.
“I want to stop playing board games.”
Fortunately or unfortunately, Bonita soon lost interest in Bentley.
Bonita, who jumped off the chair, approached the bookshelf full of picture books.
He went to the shelf with many picture books, thoroughly searching through them. To know how far he had looked, he had even attached stickers to the books he had read.
‘Found it.’
Bonita picked up one of the picture books without stickers, then sat comfortably on the sofa in the playroom.
Then he calmly started flipping through the pages.
Bentley approached Bonita and asked, “Do you like this book?”
“It’s my first time seeing it.”
“Really?”
Bonita focused on the pictures again.
On the other hand, Bentley had no interest in the illustrations.
After quickly scanning the few lines inserted in the upper paragraph, he teased Bonita.
“Aren’t you going to turn to the next page?”
“I haven’t seen it all.”
“You read slowly, huh.”
It was an insignificant jab.
Bonita replied indifferently, “I can’t read.”
“What?”
Bentley’s eyes widened.
“Really? You’re seven years old, right?”
He asked with a tone of surprise this time, not an acting tone. Bonita felt a bit uncomfortable as he seemed genuinely surprised this time.
It felt dismissive.
“I haven’t learned, so I don’t know.”
Thanks to that, Bonita’s tone became more sensitive than before. It surprised even herself that she was so surprised after saying it out loud.
Bonita scolded herself.
‘No. Be good.’
In her mind, the words Luke told her before coming to the playroom came to mind.
“Get along well, Bonita. Bentley is a good kid.”
Luke was a good person.
He still couldn’t bring himself to call him father, but affection and love were evident in every word and action.
He also knew that Luke was doing a lot for his sake.
So, he didn’t want to go beyond Luke’s expectations.
“Shall I teach you?”
Bentley asked at that moment.
Bonita turned her head.
With a gaze that seemed to ask what that meant, Bentley unconsciously took a step back.
He looks like a real rabbit.
Muttering that to himself, he added with an indifferent face, “It’s nothing special.”
“Could you praise me for it?”
“No need.”
Bentley let out a forced laugh.
‘Why is my mind going there?’
In various ways, he wasn’t an ordinary kid.
“Just because I’m smart, I can teach beginners like you. You, too… It would be better if you could read.”
Bonita pondered for a moment.
In her short life, she hadn’t had many opportunities to encounter written words. For the boys and girls growing up in the streets where Bonita was born and raised, not knowing how to read was not embarrassing; it was natural. There was no discomfort in not knowing.
The only written words in her home were a few fairy tale books that Aria had rescued, and she had memorized every word after hearing them once. There was no need to read the contents.
“I…,” Bonita explained to Bentley the thoughts she had just expressed. She hadn’t had the opportunity to encounter written words, had never felt uncomfortable not knowing, and as a result, had never thought about wanting to learn.
Upon hearing this, the boy wrinkled his face and retorted, “Do you know how many interesting books there are in the world?”
Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.
Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

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.]
