“…… Life doesn’t always go as planned.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You’re just a kid; you don’t need to know.”
“Don’t talk nonsense and loosen your grip. Softly.”
He placed his hand over mine and moved the bow. Magically, with Roger’s touch, a much smoother sound was made.
“Wow!”
“How is it?”
“It’s beautiful. The sound is really pretty!”
When I spoke excitedly, Roger blinked his eyes and then smiled.
“It’s fun, isn’t it? The violin.”
“Yes. Quite.”
“Then come to our mansion once a week. I’ll teach you.”
Suddenly?
“Why would you?”
“I’m bored. There’s no one my age in this village.”
“Don’t you go to school?”
“It’s boring.”
I wanted to nod in appreciation of the generous offer, but there were several problems. Isabel would definitely oppose it, and I had no money. Although Roger said he would teach for free, it still felt uncomfortable.
What if he later used this to make unfair demands?
“You, you don’t want something from me, do you?”
“What are you talking about? I would never do such a thing with a violin.”
“Really? How can I trust you when we’ve just met?”
“Hmm, should we make a wrist bet?”
“…… Disgusting.”
“If you don’t trust me, just learn once today and decide. You’ll definitely enjoy it.”
Roger was enthusiastic.
[This is a time separator.]Lunchtime arrived unnoticed. We had played so many notes that the vibrations resonated in my head. A maid entered the room briefly to call us down for a meal.
Roger and I put down the violins and headed to the dining room. Delicious aromas teased my nose. The dining table was laden with various meat dishes, including tasty desserts.
“Are you hungry? Have a seat.”
Mrs. Bacchus guided me to a seat. It was next to Isabel. Isabel looked much happier than before, having conversed with Mrs. Bacchus.
As I sat next to her, Isabel began her meal without a word, picking up her fork and knife.
“I heard the sound of a violin.”
Mrs. Bacchus asked me.
“Oh, Roger taught me.”
“Really? It’s very rare for Roger to teach someone the violin.”
Mrs. Bacchus’s words had an energetic response from Roger, who now hung his head low. Now that it came to it, Roger seemed unable to muster up courage in front of Mrs. Bacchus.
Knowing his true nature, Roger’s actions all seemed shameless. I wished he would treat me like he treated his wife… Of course, that would be impossible.
“It was fun.”
“You two have gotten close. Roger doesn’t like anyone touching his belongings, so even when relatives come to visit, they can never touch his instruments. That’s not all, he’s very sensitive about it.”
“Is that so?”
She put a piece of meat in her mouth. It was freshly cooked and juicy, rich with flavor as she chewed.
“How’s the food?”
“It’s delicious, ma’am.”
Mrs. Bacchus grinned and turned her gaze back to Isabelle.
“My daughter is quite clever. Isabelle.”
“Just like Roger.”
“Roger has inherited a lot of this family’s blood, that’s why. But Lise… Isabelle, she resembles you a lot.”
I nearly dropped my fork at those words. Resemble whom? It felt like the harshest insult in the world.
It seemed Isabelle felt the same, as a slight wrinkle formed on her previously calm face. I worried a bit that she might vent her anger on me later over this.
“Just like Isabelle, it’s like seeing you when you were a child. Really, I never thought Isabelle would marry and give birth to a daughter so like herself…”
Isabelle lifted her head to look at Mrs. Bacchus.
“Why?”
“You never wanted to get married.”
“That’s all in the past. I was too young back then.”
“Even so, I thought you would choose not to marry, and go your own way. So, I was very surprised when I first heard of your marriage. But seeing Lise today, I think I understand why you married.”
I worried that Isabelle might become angry, but she couldn’t spit any venom at such a kind and benign statement. She maintained her dignity, only chewing her meat.
“Is that so? Then how is it? Being Roger’s bride?”
Roger’s name came out of her mouth unexpectedly. Roger, who had been quietly eating, dropped his fork first.
“Oh, I like it!”
“Is that so?”
“You two look good together. How about holding both an adult ceremony and an engagement party this time? Ho ho.”
Roger and I locked eyes. A joke, right?
“As long as it suits you.”
“Really? How wonderful it would be to have a pretty child like Lise as our Roger’s bride.”
Mrs. Bacchus and Isabelle seemed genuinely intent on marrying us. Only then did I realize why Isabelle had brought me here instead of Silke or Swell. She must have brought me here to say, “Stop fooling around and marry a gentleman from some family soon!”
Unfortunately, in this place, married women’s rights to social activities are quite restricted. Isabelle was aiming for that.
If I had known this, I should have resisted and refused when Isabelle suggested coming here.
“Roger, what do you think?”
Mrs. Bacchus asked Roger. Roger slightly shook his shoulders and licked his lips. His purple eyes swayed.
Please, speak well. Show your true feelings, Roger.
“…If mother likes it.”
You’ve got to be kidding.
“I’m fine with it.”
That mama’s boy!

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
