…What now?
What did I just hear?
‘Honey??’
Cedric, who had momentarily lowered his gaze to the still feet against his will, slowly turned his head.
The woman, clutching the hem of her dress with both hands, blinked rapidly at him with wide eyes.
‘Did I mishear?’
At that moment of doubt.
Lamein, who had met his gaze, quickly opened her mouth.
“Honey. Father has come after a long time. How about having a cup of tea together?”
…Again. Honey.
Cedric faintly furrowed his brow.
There’s a sense of desperation in the violet pupils.
Cedric turned his body, which had been standing with his back to the two, perfectly back to its place.
‘Did she change her mind?’
Lamein, who was relieved that Cedric would stay here, blinked her eyes slowly.
‘But why such a face?’
There’s something strange about her husband’s face.
At a glance, it looked as if he had been hit in the back of the head with a stone thrown by someone.
‘Ah! Is it because he doesn’t want to be here?’
What if he tries to go again?
I have to do everything I can to keep him from leaving here!
‘Lie down on the floor? Dress up and try to turn sideways?’
Just as she was simulating numerous actions to grab her fleeing husband in her head.
Cedric’s lips, which had been straight out, slowly rose.
“Lamein. Is that alright?”
The husband shows his will to stay here.
“Of course. What could be wrong?”
Come this way right now.
As if saying that, Lamein softened her eyes.
Cedric, who had been looking at Lamein, shifted his gaze to Heter and closed the distance that had been distant.
He, who had stopped in front of the two with a neat posture, looked at Heter with a straight eye.
“Duke. If it doesn’t interfere with your precious time, can we do that?”
Then he asked in a polite voice.
The slightly stiff look on Heter’s face quickly softened.
“What could possibly be interfering? But unfortunately, it seems I have to go.”
The man, who had said he would spend some private time with his daughter a few seconds ago, suddenly said he had to go.
‘Is it because he can’t threaten me like before if Cedric is here?’
Lamein, who had read the obvious intent, slowly opened her mouth.
“It’s been a long time since you came. To leave like this……”
She spat out a regretful voice with as much regret as she could.
“I don’t want to be a bad daughter who steals my father’s busy time, as regrettable as it may be.”
As she signaled him to get lost.
“Hehehe. Lamein. I appreciate your regretful heart, but it’s not just today, right?”
Bullshit came flying.
‘Well. Let’s just say that.’
She just slightly raised her lips thinking it wasn’t worth responding.
“Then I’ll go.”
Heter, who had been looking at Lamein and Cedric alternately, turned to the door as Cedric turned his body in the same direction at the same time.
“There’s no need for a farewell. Instead, spend some private time with my daughter.”
Heter stopped Cedric, who seemed to be about to see him off.
“Yes. I will do as you say. Please return safely.”
Cedric, who had tried to move his foot, deeply bowed with his foot stuck in place.
“Please return safely.”
As Lamein quickly extended a greeting, Heter turned his body towards the door.
The door to the drawing room opened wide and a servant, who had been waiting somewhere, followed Heter closely.
‘Who the hell is this son of a bitch?’
Lamein’s gaze, which had been fixed on the back of Heter’s head, slowly fell to the man’s thin hand.
‘If Cedric hadn’t shown up, I would have been hit by that hand for sure.’
Her tightly closed lips twitched.
It’s a ridiculous yet angry situation even when I think about it again.
‘You’ve always been like that since you were young. You’re such a kid who doesn’t understand when told.’
Was that always the case?
From Heter’s words, she could guess that Lamein had been suffering from violence since she was young.
‘What on earth happened?’
But she couldn’t know Lamein’s past, or the relationship between Lamein and Heter, which made her frustrated.
‘There were many protagonists who possessed all the memories of the past. Why do I know nothing?’
Just as she was blaming the reality she was in.
Thunk.
Cedric sat in a chair in front of the drawing room table.
“Lamein. Let’s talk for a moment.”
She didn’t want to talk about anything because her head was complicated.
“But thanks to that man, I managed to avoid the crisis, so I decided to go along with him for now.
A man who leaned comfortably against the back of the chair crossed his long legs and looked at her intently with blue eyes.
“Yes. Right.”
Lamein sat across from him.
Then, the servant standing at the door firmly closed the reception room door.
A moment of silence passed between the two sitting across each other.
The man who had been staring closely slightly tilted his head and blinked slowly.
Tap, tap, tap.
Cedric’s long fingers rhythmically hit the armrest of the chair.
‘It must be a habit.’
It seemed to be a habit he showed when concentrating or thinking.
“Lamein.”
