“What?”
Alicia, who turned her head in the opposite direction, made Eric realize only then.
He had forgotten she was with him and thoughtlessly took off his shirt.
“So what? It’s not like I took off everything.”
“Huh?”
Alicia turned her head towards Eric with a baffled expression and hastily turned away again.
A mischievous smile had filled Eric’s face unknowingly.
“I can’t find the clothes to change into.”
“Then find them quickly.”
“Seems like you’ve forgotten, but this is my bedroom.”
“······.”
It was the first time she had seen a man undress, except for paintings and sculptures displayed in museums.
Not wanting to be caught with a flushed face, Alicia stiffly turned her head to the other side of Eric.
“Why?”
But Eric, as if he had already noticed, approached the bed laughing warmly.
“Your face turned red.”
“Of course, I’m surprised.”
When Alicia turned her head angrily, Eric was closer than she thought.
She was momentarily frozen in surprise, but it was troublesome as her eyes kept going in his direction.
“If you’re surprised at this, it’ll be problematic. You might see it often.”
“There won’t be such an occasion!”
Trying to hide her flustered state, Alicia added arrogantly as if it was nothing.
“Besides, I don’t want to see.”
“Hmm. Really? Everyone else liked it.”
‘Who? When? It’s oddly irritating.’
Alicia’s expression turned sour.
To be honest, his body was nice to look at. Just like what she had seen in statues or paintings.
But it hurt her pride that she was the only one conscious of it while Eric didn’t care at all.
“Well, it’s not bad to look at.”
“Just that? Everyone else said it was good to look at.”
‘To whom? Where? It’s annoyingly irritating.’
Alicia retorted curtly, her mood sour.
“Put your clothes on quickly. Everyone is waiting.”
“Oh.”
Only then did Alicia step off the bed and enter the dressing room, her movements awkward.
When she selected a few items and handed them to him, Eric obediently accepted them.
“Put these on.”
“Yeah.”
Holding the clothes, Eric stared at Alicia intently for a moment.
“Why? Again.”
“Oh. So that’s what you meant when you said it’s good to look at.”
“?”
“I don’t mind if you keep looking.”
“Ew.”
Alicia quickly turned her head and hurried to the bed where Ryan and Laila were.
“I’m going to undress. Won’t it be more strange if you go to the bed?”
“Shut up and change quickly!”
Eventually, Alicia couldn’t bear it and shouted, and Eric burst into laughter.
“Woah. Sis is yelling.”
“Sis is scary.”
“No, no. I didn’t yell at you guys!”
Behind Alicia, who was hugging the children and comforting them, Eric added slyly while changing clothes.
“See, they’re scared because you yelled. You’re sometimes too harsh to the kids.”
“This guy really.”
Feeling nauseous as if she could see Eric’s teasing figure, Alicia blew her top.
“Let’s get dressed after we leave. Come on, Laila, Ryan.”
“Let’s go!”
“Please let’s go.”
Just as Alicia tried to grab them, thinking it was a game, the twins suddenly started to crawl quickly in opposite directions on the bed.
“Hey, guys, a little!”
It was like dealing with enemies, not siblings. Alicia, who was struggling to catch them, eventually buried her face in the bed.
Eric, holding back his laughter, finally spoke as if to comfort her.
“Just stay like that. I’ll change quickly.”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Alicia entered the parlor with Laila and Ryan.
“You’re late.”
“I’m sorry. Did you wait long?”
“Where’s Eric?”
“He’s in the study for a moment. He said he has some urgent business.”
“I see, he’s been busy these days. Kids, come here.”
The duchess naturally held Laila and Ryan’s hands and led them to the sofa.
“Dinner should be almost ready, I’ll check.”
“Okay. We’ll watch the kids.”
“I’ll be back in a moment.”
When Alicia left the parlor, the duchess kindly asked the twins.
“Are you hungry, Ryan, Laila?”
“Yes. But we can wait.”
“Let’s eat as soon as possible?”
“Yes.”
“Why were you late coming down from above? The kids must be hungry.”
“Let’s fight.”
“Huh? Fight?”
The duke and duchess looked at the twins, confused at their words.
“Brother is boasting.”
“Huh? What did he do?”
“He said he likes sister.”
“······.”
The duke and duchess silently looked at each other.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“Eric, can we talk for a moment?”
Before returning to the duke’s mansion after dinner, the duke and duchess briefly took Eric into the reception room.
As soon as the door closed, the duchess swung full force and slapped Eric’s back.
“Mother?”
Surprised, Eric blankly stared at his mother.
He had never been hit as a child, and now this, suddenly and without explanation?
The duke now hit the surprised son’s back.
“Father?”
Eric turned his head towards his father.
Their blows weren’t painful, but it was both surprising and puzzling.
“Oh my, this kid.”
“No matter what, we shouldn’t do this in front of the children.”
“What are you talking about?”
