“That child…”
Early in the morning, Abella encountered Mrs.
Amerigo, who was about to go out as soon as the sun rose.
Mrs.
Amerigo hardened her expression.
Abella had met Mrs.
Amerigo while travelling from the outbuilding to the main building to handle her work.
Abella stood in front of Mrs.
Amergo as if possessed.
‘Did you say that he’s now three years old?’
A young boy was in Mrs.
Amerigo’s arms.
It was her first time seeing her nephew.
With platinum hair that resembled Abella…
“Aunt……?”
Abella’s lips quivered unconsciously at the eyes looking back at her.
The blue-eyed child Abella had hoped for so much was looking at her.
Abella had purple eyes under the influence of magical power, but not Carlo.
Carlo had blue eyes resembling his father.
And Carlo’s eyes lead to Simon.
“Simon… you, Simon…”
Abella’s lips trembled.
Mrs.
Amerigo pressed on the bonnet and hugged Simon in her arms.
As Abella reached out to Mrs.
Amerigo, Mrs.
Amerigo stepped back as if Abella was a germ.
“Why? Do you want this child too? When you look at your father-like eyes, the monster in your stomach gets hungry?”
“Mother, I…”
“That’s it, don’t pretend to know this kid anymore.”
Mrs.
Amerigo took a deep breath, pushed Abella away and walked away.
Abella gave a dry smile as she looked behind her.
She bit her lips to hold back her tears.
It was a child who resembled Carlo.
“Miss…….”
An employee approached to comfort Abella and carefully called her.
However, not knowing what to say to comfort Abella, they simply wandered around her.
And there was someone who looked down at all of this from above.
“Hmm.”
Enosh put the lollipop in his mouth.
‘Why do you want to live in this hell?’
Foolish.
Enosh clicked his tongue and raised his hand.
At that moment, it seemed that Enosh was the only thing that could save Abella.
“Abella! Come up quickly! I brought something you might like!”
He exclaimed with an innocent look that didn’t know anything.
*
Enosh, as promised, had prepared documents that Abella would like.
“This…….”
“I did what you wanted.
Part of the operations was subordinated to Amerigo, and the properties were managed to finance the investment for the Duke of Sirius.
I couldn’t do it all at once because of the size.”
Abella slowly checked the papers.
As Enosh said, everything was done neatly.
‘Is this the last time to meet Arsene…?’
Still, she met Arsene once every two days or once every three days under the pretext of business.
But, that was ending too.
Abella had the money she had to finance, and now Arsene wouldn’t have to meet Abella until she built a hotel chain.
‘Please…’
Now it was this kind of relationship.
It was a relationship that could only meet for business.
Abella sighed as she looked at the papers.
“Why, Abella? Is there something wrong?”
“No.
That’s not it.”
Arsene’s cool eyes that looked at Abella and his cold speech were unlike before.
It was as if he didn’t care about Abella anymore…
In the end, only Abella had lingering regrets.
Oh, but one more issue remained.
Abella and Arsene’s engagement on paper.
A paper link between two people which they couldn’t organize because she ran away in a hurry.
‘This is more bitter.’
Abella frowned.
Her heart hurt so much.
*
Arsene, like a habit, took out a cigar and looked out with gloomy eyes.
Smoke from the cigar filled the office.
It was a gloomy face that wasn’t suitable for the early morning when the morning sun shined.
“Duke.”
Even at the call of the lieutenant, Arsene still had a vacant expression.
It seemed like he’s looking somewhere far away.
“Abella is……”
“Yes?”
“Haa.
No.”
Arsene crushed the shortened cigar in the crystal ashtray and turned it off.
He then stared at the document on the desk.
[Certificate of engagement]
Below it were the names of Abella and Arsene.
It had been on the desk since Abella’s return, and he hadn’t even touched it.
Resentment and love.
Those damned feelings raged inside Arsene.
He understood Abella.
He understood Abella’s situation.
She must have run away because of the wounds she had to suffer countless times.
But, after that?
Abella seemed to have forgotten about Arsene and never contacted him.
Abella didn’t respond to his contact, even though Arsene sent numerous people to Vincent to search for Abella.
That’s how Abella abandoned Arsene.
