Chapter 75

If there was the worst father on earth, it have to be him.

“Do you even love Rere?”

“Isn’t that apparent? Simply because I made a mistake earlier than…”

“A mistake, huh? Then why don’t you discover that one thing dangerous occurs to the kid everytime you make the identical mistake?”

It’ll be okay immediately. I’m certain nothing will occur immediately. She all the time performs there, anyway. What may go unsuitable?

Due to such complacency, I misplaced my youthful sister within the orphanage the place I grew up.

She was an lovely woman who adopted me in every single place like her actual sister.

Nevertheless, as a toddler who additionally grew up in an orphanage at the moment, I couldn’t afford to handle all the kids.

Even the kid who adopted me round.

As regular, she performed within the car parking zone of the orphanage, so I left her alone considering that she can be simply positive.

However I misplaced her that day.

The particular person parking his automobile didn’t see the kid squatting down.

“Why are you getting so labored up?”

“Since you’re so irritating. I can’t inform whether or not you’re keen on your little one or are detached to her.”

“……”

“Be clear about your intention. If the kid is extra treasured than your life, then deal with her preciously.”

“That’s why I all the time deal with her properly, however the issue is…”

I felt I used to be speaking to the wall. No, greater than that. It felt like we had been all the time in a relentless loop.

“…That’s not what I meant. Ha…what else can I say? I don’t assume I’m ready to speak both. Do as you want, Your Excellency. It’s not like something I say will get via to you anyway.”

I wished to say that I gained’t let him slide if he made Rere like this once more, however as somebody who was like a parasite to this household, I couldn’t give him a bit of my thoughts freely.

This rattling energy. I need to have energy, too. I need the facility to trample on this ignorant Duke.

“Your eyes appear to be you’re considering of doing one thing to me.”

“…Isn’t that pure? If it wasn’t for the truth that I had a nugatory existence with out you, I might need kicked you within the crotch with all my coronary heart.”

“How humorous.”

“…..”

Truly, I wasn’t even certain if there was something to hit between his legs, however I held myself again from saying that.

“Ha. Did you simply say I’m humorous?”

“Yeah,”

“Then why don’t you find out about parenting as an alternative of creating enjoyable of me?”

“Hmm…”

“Luca is doing all of your work anyway. It’s not such as you’re busy.”

His brow furrowed at my phrases.

“I’ll do my work any longer. I’ll order him to return to his knight obligation.”

I couldn’t consider he stated that after he completed utilizing Luca to his coronary heart content material.

“Since when has Luca been by your aspect? Don’t you are feeling unusual preserving somebody who appears precisely such as you by your aspect?”

Usually, individuals can be perturbed in the event that they noticed somebody who appeared precisely like themselves.

Not solely did he put Luca subsequent to him, he additionally let Luca deal with his work.

“…What’s so unusual about it? It’s the obligation of a Lord to have excellent individuals subsequent to him, no matter their look or background.”

I checked out him silently. The face that anxious about Rere had disappeared. Quite, the Duke overrated his chest proudly.

“Ahh. I see.”

“Yeah. Is that each one you need to ask? Then, I even have a whole lot of questions for you, Leona.”

“What are you interested by?”

“Every little thing.”

“Maintain that curiosity for later and be extra interested by Rere, please.”

Within the meantime, Rere’s little physique moved restlessly.

“Uuuh…”

I modified the towel on her brow and patted Rere’s chest gently.

“It’s okay, Rere. Mother is right here.”

“Uuuh…”

“It’s okay. I’ll keep right here subsequent to you.”

“You’re performing like an actual mom.”

He nonetheless needed to make noise even when the kid hadn’t fallen asleep.

“You’re actually performing like a faux father.”

“……”

“You’d higher go away now should you’re going to maintain speaking nonsense when the kid must relaxation.”

He heaved a deep sigh as an alternative of answering. However, I didn’t even have a look at him as I used to be busy taking good care of Rere.

Once I heard him go away the room, I lay down subsequent to Rere and mumbled.

“Rere, I’ll defend you.”

Whether or not I used to be a faux mother or an actual mother. My coronary heart for Rere was actual.

The nanny got here to the mattress after he left and put a chilly moist towel on Rere’s head till she fell asleep.

I sorted the kid till daybreak, and ultimately fell asleep solely after the kid’s fever went down.

At midnight room, I felt like a hand was touching my head.

I wasn’t certain if it was a dream, however the hand felt so heat that I unconsciously held it.

The subsequent day.

I suppose as a result of my thoughts was full of Rere, I awoke so early that even the nanny hadn’t arrived but. However there was a flower crown subsequent to me.

It was the one which Rere made for me.

A flower crown that was barely broken as if somebody stepped on it. There was additionally a small flower crown subsequent to it.

“Ah…”

I gathered the flower crown gently with my hand. The flowers had been so recent as in the event that they had been simply newly made.

Simply in time, the door opened and the nanny got here in.

“Madam, are you awake?”

The nanny walked to the mattress quietly and whispered. Maybe she was anxious that Rere would get up.

“I simply awoke.”

I put down the flower crown and touched Rere’s head. Fortuitously, Rere’s complexion was a lot better as her fever had diminished.

“I believe Rere is alright now.”

“The primary day is often the worst.”

“That’s a reduction. However please don’t let anybody enter the room so she will be able to relaxation immediately.”

“Sure, Madam.”

I gently swept again Rere’s sweaty hair.

“By the best way, Nanny. Did anybody else enter the room?”

“No. Nobody got here to the room apart from just a few of the night time obligation maids.”

Was it simply my creativeness?

“I’m fairly certain somebody was right here.”

I held out the small flower crown to her.

“Oh…this!”

“It’s a flower crown that Rere made for me, however I dropped it whereas I used to be operating.”

“…Umm…”

“I believe somebody left it right here.”

Listening to that, the nanny shook her head with a critical expression.

“Actually, nobody got here in.”

The nanny simply tilted her head as if confused.

Then there was just one particular person in my head.

Luca.

There was nobody else aside from him who would do this. Furthermore, that heat hand…

I believed it was the nanny’s hand at first, nevertheless it clearly was a person’s hand….

My coronary heart ached for a second. I wished to face him and ask him in particular person.

Whether or not he was the one who left this flower crown right here and stroked my hair. However I couldn’t seek for him when Rere was mendacity sick in mattress.

“Would you like me to look into it?”

“No. I suppose an angel visited and left final night time.”

I put down the flower crown with a smile.

The nanny tilted her head as if she couldn’t perceive, however I acquired up from mattress and stretched my physique.

“Rere perspired quite a bit final night time. Let’s change her garments first.”

“Sure, Madam!”

The nanny rapidly left to carry some recent garments. Now that her fever had damaged, I wiped her physique with a heat towel earlier than altering her garments.

I used to be planning to feed her soup when she awoke, however the Duke came visiting.

“Is Rere okay now?”

“She will be able to’t be higher in simply someday.”

“…You’re nonetheless as ferocious as a wildcat.”

“…You’re the one who made Rere sick. Final time you stated I used to be the reason for Rere’s illness, and now that you just’re on this state of affairs, what sort of excuse will you make? Even what occurred final time wasn’t solely my fault.”

“…You’ve all the time thought negatively of me.”

“Since you’re a nasty particular person. So inform me, why did you come immediately? Rere remains to be sleeping.”

“Hmm.”

He took a watch from his sleeve and nodded.

“Princess Arvida is scheduled to reach in an hour.”

At that second, I nearly requested him whether or not he had misplaced his thoughts already.

“It’s best to prepare.”

“…I did say that I’d meet her, however would you like me to satisfy her when the kid is on this state?”

At my sharp query, he sighed and mumbled quietly.

“…I didn’t know this may occur.”

“Then you will need to cancel it. You already know that Rere is anxious once I’m not round, however do you actually must hold the appointment?”

“Noble households are like that. We now have to maintain the guarantees that we made. It’s not such as you’re sick, and there are nannies and maids to handle Rere. Will probably be onerous to cancel the appointment.”

All I may hear was a canine barking.

Significantly. Each time I talked to him, I boiled with intense anger.

“Then I suppose you’re not a noble. Because you by no means hold your guarantees.”

I wished to curse him so earnestly.

If Rere wasn’t sleeping, I wouldn’t be capable of maintain again and would spew all of the anger I felt.

In fact, he stared at me like a idiot.

“Superb. I’ll go as a result of it’s a promise that you just worth a lot. However there might be no subsequent time.”

“Alright.”

Gosh, I couldn’t consider a single phrase he stated. I used to be certain he would return on his phrase once more.

“I hope you additionally hold your guarantees as a nobleman. Nanny, I’ll go away Rere in your care. I’ve to prepare quickly.”

“Sure, Madam.”

The nanny appeared anxious at the truth that I used to be leaving Rere, however we couldn’t actually act opposite to the Duke’s phrases.
