Chapter 114 – What Kind of People Are Your Parents?
Because of my remarks, there was a strange silence in the carriage.
In particular, Gilbert looked at me and Ian in turn with a look of guilt on his face, and then immediately hugged his head.
“Master, is everything Lady Eve said is true…? ?”
“I told you. Of course, it’s not true. But that doesn’t mean it’s a lie.”
“What do you mean by that?”
The two men, who were embarrassed in different ways, eventually looked at me again.
“You’ve never experienced a normal relationship before. It’s all my fault. If I knew it would be like this…”
“Gilbert. “What on earth is a normal relationship?”
“It’s just sad…”
“No, I’m misunderstanding something. “How well do I treat Eve?”
“I will report this matter to the head of the family. If you are the head of the family…”
“I think they’re going to burst into laughter saying they caught the number.”
“That’s right.”
What kind of person is Ian’s father? Why do such evaluations come about?
I was a little curious.
But first, I had to clear up Gilbert’s misunderstanding.
I explained that everything I had just said about drugs, alcohol, and hitting was all a joke.
“First of all… “I understand.”
I don’t think I’m completely convinced.
Ugh, thanks to you, Ian is glaring at me so much.
How strong is the pressure radiating from those bewildered eyes.
Even though I don’t have the ability to read minds, somehow I feel like I can hear Ian’s thoughts.
Totally, ‘When it’s just the two of them left, I think he’s dead. Those are the eyes that say ‘Eve.’
“Hyung.”
Ugh, mistake… I may have done it, I don’t know.
You’ve barely escaped the bullying that isn’t bullying, but when the night comes and you two are alone, you might have to beg that you made a mistake. No, it was definitely like that.
Perhaps the time has come to offer a ‘sincere apology’ once again.
Kneel down with your arms in front of you, place your forehead, collarbone, and chest on the ground and say, “I’m wrong, I’m wrong, please take a look…” You know that thing.
Maybe that won’t relieve Ian’s anger.
Then, I got treated badly again, and even though I was doing it wrong, Ian wouldn’t pay any attention to me, ah, ahhh…
“Huh, huh, huh…”
I couldn’t stop hiccups for a while.
…
…
…
I am someone who usually prefers to stay cooped up inside the house and absolutely hates going out,
Still, when I see a scene like this, my heart starts pounding.
Outside the carriage, endless wheat fields continued to spread.
How spectacular it is to see the golden plants planted by human hands swaying in unison, making a roaring sound, as the wind moves.
“Wow…”
I just stared outside for a while with my eyes sparkling like a child seeing the world for the first time.
There was a city at the end of the land that started out as a yellow meadow. Although I only looked at the surface at first glance, it seemed to be a developed place that was not much different from the capital.
“This is Ernest’s estate.”
As I couldn’t take my eyes off the outside for a while,
Gilbert introduced me as if he was proud.
It’s definitely something to be proud of. The faces of people plowing the fields, bundlers on the road, and people just passing by showed signs of fatigue from work, but there was not a single trace of sadness on their faces.
As someone who was picked up from an orphanage in a previous life and lived a life that can only be called rock bottom, I know how difficult it is.
This means that the control of the Ernest family is that great.
Naturally, I thought of my brother and father’s family and the life there…
Realizing that it didn’t end well, I decided to stop thinking about it.
“If you marry me, everything will be Eve.”
“Yes?”
As we continued to look outside,
Ian cleared his throat and suddenly said something out of the blue.
“Is that so? If I inherit the family, everything in the territory will be mine. I, um. Because it’s Eve.”
“…”
I couldn’t answer for a moment.
Gilbert listened to our conversation, looked at my expression, shook his head, and said.
“Master. The comment is cliché. What era is it these days? I don’t think women will fall for something like that…”
“Hyaaaaa…” .”
Oh, it was Ian who made strange noises as if he had an iron plate on his face.
But why does it feel cool? It’s definitely because of the face. It’s definitely not because I’m a woman greedy for money. Everything from here to there is my deal, and Ian is my deal too. Once again, Ian looks different. Wow, it looks like there’s a halo. Ian, I like you, I really, really like you…
I just stared blankly at Ian, mulling over the words I couldn’t say out loud.
If you call me a snob, I have nothing to say.
She was that kind of woman to begin with.
If it weren’t for Gilbert, I would have clung to him and lost all charm.
Ugh, thinking about that makes me feel itchy again.
Before I got on the carriage, I couldn’t do it anymore, I was going to die like this, the climax was painful, please just look at me once… Where on earth has the woman gone?
Ah.
I realized that I had thought something very manly to say in front of complete strangers,
She lowered her red face and held Ian’s hand, wiggling only her palm…
“… Ah. That. “We’re almost there.”
“Gilbert. What are those eyes? As if we were among each other…”
“No. Could that be possible? Master. It suits you well.”
“It goes without saying.”
“… Ah. “I forgot to tell you, but Lady Lisa is probably in the mansion right now.”
“Your sister is home? “It’s a big deal.”
“He came back a while ago and said something. Now don’t even bring up the topic of marriage to me, my younger brother who found a good match will take care of it… Well, it’s not exact, but you said it that way.”
“Hmm.”
“The family was turned upside down. You don’t have the personality to lie. Then she says that the master has really found a mate… “The letter arrived while everyone was in disbelief.”
“Is it a letter?”
“Yes. This is a letter sent directly from you. I have found someone to marry, so I will meet you when the semester is over… Something like that. Of course, the recipient of the letter was Isolde, but the matriarch was very stubborn…”
“The look on my father’s face when he read the letter was kind.”
“It seemed as if he had chewed and swallowed the Ajinpalm fruit raw.”
It was the name of a very astringent and bitter fruit.
“I’m not a great person to get married or anything, that’s a lie, I’m being threatened by something. There was also an incident where he made a fuss about Ian being in danger and saying he had to go to the academy right away, and then got hit on the back by his wife.”
“You can’t even show off your body in front of your relatives? Even though he is my father.”
“It must have been that shocking.”
I can’t believe I’m silently listening to you talking like that,
The carriage went further into the territory and arrived in front of a huge mansion.
When I saw the people inspecting the passage take a look at the badge on the carriage and the faces of Ian and Gilbert and then back away in surprise, I began to realize little by little where I had arrived.
The closer you get to your destination, the faster your heart beats.
My fingertips become hard, and my breathing becomes a bit rough.
You’re nervous.
What kind of people are Ian’s parents?
Maybe, you’ll be yelling that a bitch wandering around somewhere is trying to steal your precious child.
Being a precious child is not just a cliché. My eyes turn dark when I think that a woman like me could be seen as nothing more than a thorn in the eye to the only son of one of the most prestigious families in the empire.
Maybe it’s at least a slap.
How should I react if I get hit?
Please give me your son. Knowing that this was not something I could just joke about, my expression gradually hardened.
“Eve.”
“Ugh…”
“It’s okay.”
This man smiles sweetly and acts as if he can clearly see my thoughts,
Why is it so confusing that I no longer feel so unlucky?
How much does it make you lean?
Is it so. Even if someone didn’t like it, even if it was the people closest to Ian, because he said he liked it, because he liked it, it couldn’t separate us.
Still, it would hurt a lot.
It would be like doing something mean to Ian, it would definitely be painful…
… My worries were truly unfounded.
As soon as I got off the carriage, a large man quickly approached me and said,
Shouldn’t I put my hands together and hold it with both hands?
“Thank you, thank you…”
I even started crying with those words.
I was just blinking in bewilderment at the actions that did not suit his solemn face and large size,
Ian scratched the back of his head as if he was in pain and then introduced himself as his father.
