Sweating profusely, he twisted his own mistake.

What did this disaster’s mouth blabber in front of Lady Christina?!

Wait, what just happened…!
“Well, no way. The government to Sir Arthur… Oh, my, how long has it been since he returned? When did this start…”

It wasn’t uncommon for high nobility to have connections with the government. However, there were still positions and propriety to consider. Arthur, who was newlywed and also the son-in-law of the highest conglomerate, couldn’t take the government position lightly, especially when people’s attention was so focused on the situation.

The hero of the century, the son-in-law of the largest conglomerate, meeting with the government so soon after reuniting with the bride considered the most beautiful in high society.

Moreover, with the debutante ball in the capital just around the corner, why would he want to tarnish his wife’s reputation?

Christina said coldly, “I see no reason to answer such questions.”

The heir closed his mouth.

Christina put a cigarette in the holder, lit it, and exhaled the smoke.

“…”

Phew.

She blew out the cigarette smoke and looked at the heir.

“It seems unnecessary to answer questions that everyone in the world already knows. I don’t need to remind you to be careful with your words, do I?”

The heir closed his mouth and nodded urgently.

“…”

In the short silence.

Christina mumbled as if talking to herself.

“She was a child who served me. A child I cherished in my own way…”

Then Christina smirked.

It was a bitter, cold smile.

Christina shook off the ashes and turned the conversation.

“My mother can’t understand why I would bother to find that child, and my father finds it unbelievable. There are conflicting opinions within the family about that child, so it’s difficult for me to trust and use the personnel in the mansion.”

Christina continued.

“I don’t want to cause a misunderstanding that I mistreated the child and disturb my husband’s mind. So, I’m in a difficult situation where I can’t trust and use the staff in the mansion.”

Christina flicked the cigarette ash and said,

“If there’s anyone willing to cooperate with me on finding the child, to help me find her safely and quickly, I would appreciate it. Since you’ve already given me the opportunity to apologize for the rudeness you’ve committed, how about offering it in some way?”

The heir vigorously nodded.

Christina grinned and brought up the main topic.

“Alright. How many people can you mobilize for us?”

The Loomos Top heir talked about the number of bodyguards, messengers, and servants he could personally command.

When Christina stared at him as if he were joking, he also discussed the number of people he could mobilize at the top level as the heir.

Although hesitant to take hold of ‘Christina’ who was neither Sir Arthur nor the Marquis, Arthur hesitated. However, in a situation where he couldn’t refuse anyone, he couldn’t refuse Christina’s words.

“It should be useful in a hurry.”

Having heard all of his words, Christina gave a ruthless evaluation with a faint smile.

“If you help, I’ll reward you generously. Of course, I’ll officially invite the Loomos Top separately.”

At the mention of an official top invitation, the heir’s eyes twinkled.

“Really? Before you go to the capital?”
She added a word.

“Yes. Rather than my parents’ names, use my name.”

In response to the bold proposal, the heir almost jumped into the air.

The guards and messengers of Loomos Top began to search the territory.

“Taylor.”

Reyna came to find him on this floor.

Even though there were things to say without cleaning up, it was a face with something to say.

“I didn’t ask you to answer. I know it’s still difficult.”

Taylor, who was organizing herbs, closed his shop and said.

“I just told you to know. I hoped you would trust me a little more. …It seemed like you were misunderstanding.”

Taylor smiled slyly.

“…Honestly, it’s been a few years between us. Wasn’t it a bit too much not to know that your grandmother was unwell?”

Reyna rolled her lips and asked.

Although she spoke lightly, almost like a joke, for a moment, when Taylor, who had stopped speaking and gripped the table, unable to face Reyna and slightly stiffened face,

Reyna, who couldn’t face him and a little stiffened face, learned Taylor’s sincerity.

His words continued.

“I’m sorry for the bad timing. Even if your situation wasn’t like this, I wouldn’t have talked about this. I didn’t want to talk at this timing either.”

“…”

“I had to say it. …Don’t mutter alone.”

“…”

“There’s someone here who’s waiting for you to ask for help until he’s out of breath. Understand?”

“…”

Taylor finally turned his head and stared at Reyna.

“I have the ability. I want to help. Please trust me a little more.”

“…”

“If it doesn’t work as a friend, even as a doctor.”

Taylor’s story was much more considerate than a few years ago.

It was because he had come to understand Reyna’s situation and feelings more.

Reyna touched her forehead and finally bowed her head and sighed.

“…”

Reyna washed her face without saying anything.

With her face in her hands, Reyna muttered.

“…Thank you. Grandma… I’ll ask for your favor.”

“Sure.”

Reyna, with her face covered, said again.

“…Thank you.”

Instead of answering, Taylor smiled.

Taylor read the words she couldn’t say.

I just want to live alone with my grandmother.

I don’t want to meet anyone or bring anyone into my life.

I’m sorry.

But Taylor understood her better than Reyna’s thoughts.

You were surely younger.

You were someone who dreamed of loving someone and raising children.

But one day.

You just said you wanted to live quietly by the sea.

Now I think I know the reason.

Taylor wanted to give her back that dream.
