Seeing Zen’s expression of wanting to call me her new sister, it seemed like she was not teasing but truly sincere.
She had given me the main seat because she really thought of me as the main character, and she said she wanted to hear my voice, truly wanting to hear my voice.
‘Am I getting too far ahead?’
Rishi strained not to break her expression and spoke.
“Yes, I like it. You can call me your new sister.”
Zen’s face turned cold again, as if she had never made a puppylike expression before.
With an atmosphere of ‘How dare you marry my brother!’, Zen asked.
“Why did you marry someone like our brother, new sister?”
“Zen.”
“Brother, keep quiet. I’m talking to the new sister now.”
“First, let’s eat……”
“Who told you not to? Order the food. Ah, new sister, you can talk while eating too. New sister, why did you marry someone like our brother?”
“Well……”
Because I knew how hard your brother worked in his past life, how tragically he died.
Because I couldn’t forget the good deed he gave me when we met once in his past life.
Because I thought my life would be different with your brother.
Also, to prevent your brother’s end from being so cruel and tragic.
I couldn’t tell such truth.
Rishi glanced at Kay.
Kay was watching Rishi with an interesting expression, curious about what she would answer.
“Because I like him.”
Rishi said, looking straight at Kay.
“His eyes like a clouded sky. Eyebrows like painted pictures. A wellcrafted jaw. A low, resonating voice. A laughter like a blowing wind……”
Rishi listed things she had liked when she looked at Kay so far.
As Rishi kept talking, for some reason, the smile disappeared from Kay’s mouth, and his eyes started to shake.
Is it an illusion of my eyes?
Kay’s ears also seemed to turn red.
Seeing Kay subtly covering his mouth with his hand, Rishi concluded her words.
“All of those things are so lovely to me. I want to see them all my life.”
When Rishi looked back at Zen, Zen’s eyes were not on Rishi, but Kay.
Zen had a nauseated expression, and Nathan was the same.
Rishi couldn’t understand why they were making such expressions.
Did I say something wrong?
“Zen?”
“Ah…… Yes, yes…… So…… Uh, new sister. Well, people have different eyes and tastes. Yes, it can happen. Well, it can.”
Regaining her composure, Zen laughed teasingly at Kay.
“You’re lucky, brother. Eyes like a clouded sky, eyebrows like painted pictures, a wellcrafted jaw……”
“Zen.”
Nathan cut off Zen’s words.
“I feel a little sick……”
“Ah, sorry. I’ll stop. It was too much before the meal. Admitted.”
While they reacted in incomprehensible ways, Rishi kept rolling her eyes and looked at their faces.
And when her eyes met Kay’s, she asked with her lips.
‘Did I say something wrong?’
Seeing Kay smiling and slowly lifting his thumb under the table, Zen exclaimed.
“What’s that thumb? Ah, I see? Did brother coerce you into responding like that? Did he make you memorize it?”
“Ah! That makes sense!”
Exclaiming as if he finally understood, Nathan spat out.
“Wow, it must be crazy. Making his wife memorize his own compliments…… Wow, really disgusting.”
That’s not it.
Rishi was about to defend Kay, but Kay stopped her with his eyes.
‘Just leave it, it’s fine.’
Zen ranted about how unattractive and horrible a man who makes his wife recite his praises is for a while, and Nathan expressed more admiration for Zen’s words than ever.
As Kay started eating the soup as if he wasn’t talking about himself, Rishi also picked up the spoon.
I thought I wouldn’t be able to have a proper dinner tonight, but that wasn’t the case.
Zen’s attitude towards Rishi was completely different from the ‘husband’s family’ that Rishi knew.
It rather seemed like she liked Rishi.
For the first time, she realized that being with ‘husband’s family’ could be not uncomfortable but rather comfortable.
Such a family could exist.
Like Jerezien and Julianne, their exterior and interior were different, but it was different in a good way.
She could tell that the cold expression that came when she closed her mouth was not angry, but just a normal expressionless face.
“But, brother.”
For a while, Zen broke the silence they had been eating in silence.
“No matter how small the wedding was, how could you not invite the family? Who did you invite? Don’t tell me it was just the two of you.”
“…We didn’t have a wedding.”
“Huh? What didn’t you do?”
“A wedding.”
“Huh?”
Zen looked at Kevrant in confusion.
The knife that was cutting the huge steak stopped in midair.
Kevrant, as if worried that the knife might fly into his throat, stared at the knife and continued to respond.
“We just registered the marriage.”
Zen looked back at Lisi.
Given her expression, Lisi nodded slightly.
Bang!
Zen roughly put down his knife and fork and rose from his seat.
Kevrant narrowed his eyebrows.
“Zen, please behave….”
“You’re the one who didn’t behave, brother! How could you just register the marriage without a wedding?”
“It’s not that big of a deal, Zen.”
