That single word was the end, but it meant that he would follow my words.

I was sorry for the woman’s death even when reading the novel, but now I have the chance to save her. I was so happy that I wanted to smile brightly, but I felt Sicar Blake stroking my head.

However, it didn’t feel like stroking the head of an admirable child. It was like…

“You’re very admirable for trying to convince me. Whenever our Happy was admirable, I used to stroke his head like this.”

‘Yes, it was like petting a puppy!’

“You’re the first person I’ve ever stroked like this, so you can feel proud. I’ll keep stroking you like this whenever I find you admirable.”

“Alright, could you please remove your hand from my head now?”

“Don’t be shy and enjoy it. It won’t happen often.”

I’m sure Sicar doesn’t understand human expressions. Otherwise, he wouldn’t feel good seeing me, whose face is all scrunched up.

Sicar kept stroking my head until we reached Kian’s room and only took his hand off to open the door.

I wanted to see Kian so I quickly entered the room, but it was dark. I heard the sound of Sicar closing the door behind me.

I hate darkness. I loved the day when I could be with the children more than the night when I could finish my work and rest.

Even though I could ride dangerous rides, I could never go to places like haunted houses. Even when sleeping, I was afraid of the pitch black and couldn’t turn off the lights, so I always had to sleep with the lights on.

As I turned around to escape the pitchblack darkness, Sicar grabbed me.

“It’s okay. Don’t be scared. They’re just dark spirits summoned by Bica.”

‘Why did Bica make the room so dark?’

When I thought that, beautiful flames appeared in the room, and then disappeared. Then beautiful flames shaped like butterflies appeared. And then a heartshaped flame spread out beautifully.

I just stared blankly at the beautiful flames unfolding before my eyes. The beautiful flames unfolding right before my eyes were shaped like fairies and they circled around me.

Being lost in such a beautiful sight, the room gradually brightened, the fairies all disappeared like smoke, and the figures of Kian and Bica appeared. Then Bica shrugged her shoulders and said,

“My role ends here.”

Bica left the room as if she had done all she could to help. Kian walked towards me, who was still dazed, and scratching the back of his head shyly, he said,

“Thank you for being my mother. I prepared this because I thought I didn’t express my gratitude. Mom.”

This was like the event where Kian thanked Raydocks for saving him and taking him in and showed it with Lucy and Lloyd in the original work.

In the original work, the twins turned off all the lights in the Duke’s study, and Kian ignited a flame to express his gratitude for being accepted.

But am I, who is neither a protagonist nor a supporting character, and not even an extra in this place, allowed to receive such a greeting from Kian?

Thinking of receiving such a tender love from Kian, I was so moved that I shed tears. Then Kian walked over with a smile and hugged me tightly.

“Thank you, Mom.”

Even though his biological mother is looking with bloodshot eyes, it was a bit sorry that I was being called mom. I made a promise once again to Kian that I would definitely find his birth mother and hugged Kian tightly.

“It’s an honor I don’t deserve, Kian. All I can do is be a good mother, and I haven’t even done that.”

“But you’re already a wonderful mother.”

And I reached out to Sicar. It meant that he should come and hug too.

Sicar looked at me as if he wasn’t interested, but whether he remembered that he promised to listen to me to get along with Kian, he reluctantly came over and we all hugged each other.

I didn’t want to hug Sicar too, but from my point of view, I had to narrow the gap between Kian and Sicar even a little.

To instill the perception that we are all a family. It would be even better if I could say this.

“Please let our family live in harmony.”

I looked at Sicar as if to say follow me. He snorted and followed my words.

“I wish for our family to live in harmony.”

Her tone suggested a desire for our family to be ruined, but I was satisfied that she had made such a statement anyway.

Lucy ran away two days later, and the child’s mother died two days after that.

Gillian asked to see Kian three days later, so we had exactly one week left. So I said we need to build a rapport with Kian during that time, and Sicar showed signs of fatigue but agreed to cooperate.

First of all, since I had received a meaningful event from Kian today, we decided to have dessert together after dinner.

And Sicar and I were going to make that dessert together. Of course, it wasn’t agreed upon. It was just that Sicar had reluctantly rolled up his sleeves because I insisted that we needed to do things like this in order to get closer to Kian.

“There’s a mountain of work to do, and I have to make dessert in the kitchen. There’s no bigger waste of time.”

“Raising a child requires a lot of time.”
