583 – Our Youngest – 3

After the birth of Teresa, who is still more familiar with the name youngest, many guests visited to see her.

“I didn’t know that at this age, I would see my granddaughter, not my great-granddaughter.”

“You too. Are you saying that when your mouth is stuck?”

“Hmm.”

A representative example is the Countess of Arras, my mother’s home. If it wasn’t for my wedding, my maternal grandfather and grandmother, who only stayed on the estate, came to the County of Tyglehen.

I heard that my daughter, who is over 40, gave birth to her youngest child. What kind of parent can stay silent? Moreover, as my maternal grandfather said, they are at an age where it is normal to see great-granddaughters rather than granddaughters. That’s why you’re even more embarrassed but also happy.

“I was always living in my house just for the fun of seeing my cute great-grandchildren, but a new joy came.”

In fact, unlike my maternal grandfather, who was trying to maintain his dignity as much as possible, my maternal grandmother patted Teresa’s hand on her with a bright smile.

“Ugh…”

“Oh my.”

Teresa frowned slightly, as if she was displeased at having her sleep interrupted, but only after holding her maternal grandmother’s finger did she look calm.

Something is subtle. Teresa is strict with Erich, but she is gentle with her grandmother. I was worried that I might cry again this time.

“Hehe, the young kid is already showing off his strength. I’m looking forward to the future.”

My maternal grandmother opened her eyes wide as if surprised and looked down at Teresa with a grin.

It’s hard to believe how strong a newly born baby can be, but surprisingly, those cute fingers have a power that no one in this world can escape. Only those who have experienced it can know that.

“Why are you disturbing a sleeping child? What will you do if he wakes up?”

“You can touch your father too. Once he falls asleep, he will sleep well even if you touch his cheek, so do not worry.”

“…Then just a little bit.”

Teresa’s steamed bun she did not resist her mother’s suggestion her her -no, he touched her cheek her her.

“Ugh…”

Teresa whined for a moment when she was repeatedly touched, but as her mother assured her, she did not wake up and continued to sleep soundly.

It’s amazing. How can you be so sensitive to Erich’s voice or touch, but insensitive to other people?

‘You got caught.’

Erich, who was hated by her younger brother, who was 20 years younger than her, did not fall down. That’s why she made a brilliant first impression with her yelling from the first time we met her.

Still, the memories from when I was a baby won’t last forever, so it will get better with time. I believe that one day, Erich will smile at Teresa and hug her.

– Knockknock

“Your Excellency. I am the head deacon.”

While they were chatting around the sleeping Teresa, the deacon’s voice was heard along with a cautious knock.

‘Deacon?’

It was an unexpected visit. The chief deacon is the second-in-command of the earldom, who has managed the estate since his father’s time his, and is an automatic hunting sergeant who handles affairs on his own.

I also trusted the head butler, who was the pillar of the estate, and entrusted him with considerable authority, but the head butler full of authority came to the lord who was welcoming guests?

“What’s going on?”

I asked with anxiety as it meant that it was an unusual business.

“Her Excellency Duke Hyeonmyeong and his wife and Duke So came to visit.”

“Ah.”

An answer came back that was more unusual than expected.

I forgot about it for a moment. Hyunhyeong-gong is a man who is infatuated with his family, and he is a Hyeonjae-gong who preys on my brother just because he is his maternal uncle’s nephew. There is no way such a wise man would just ignore Teresa’s birth.

It is highly likely that his maternal uncle desperately tried to stop him from visiting on the day he was born. They say it is rude to visit when both the mother and the baby are tired.

‘You’ve reached your limit now.’

I smiled bitterly as I imagined my uncle’s lonely struggle. It seems like he finally collapsed after holding on for his younger sister and young nephew.

“You are probably here to see the youngest, so please guide me this way.”

“Yes, Your Excellency.”

First of all, I returned a reply telling me to bring it to the head deacon.

This is not to say that you will visit soon, but if you have already visited, you cannot stop it. If you have to meet Duke Hyeonjeong and Teresa someday anyway, it would be better to arrange it when your grandfather and grandmother, whom Duke Hyeonjae can’t help but care about, are around.

“Hey, are those kids here too?”

“It’s been a while since my family got together.”

The maternal grandfather reacted somewhat nervously and the maternal grandmother seemed happy.

These two are the decisive battle weapons of the great wise men who surpass the emperor.

Not long after the deacon left, the door suddenly opened with the sound of running.

It was a small duke.

“Well, I see you, Countess Chemnis and Countess Chemnis.”

The Duke of Xiao came in with a very flushed face, and as soon as he saw his maternal grandfather and grandmother, he bowed and greeted them.

I laughed because I was imitating a familiar adult. You didn’t just do that in front of me and Erich.

“It’s been a while, Duke. You’ve become more dignified.”

“Welcome, Lili. You’ve grown a lot in the time we haven’t seen each other.”

The two responded with gentle expressions to their granddaughter’s bold greeting.

Meanwhile, the temperature difference between my maternal grandfather, who matched the Duke’s rhythm to the tune, and my maternal grandmother, who regarded me as just a little granddaughter, was impressive. At first glance, it seemed like the maternal grandmother would cater to the Duke, but it is surprising that the opposite is true.

“You two were there too. I didn’t expect to see you here.”

Eventually, my maternal uncle also appeared with a friendly smile.

Instinctively, tension arose in my body. If Duke So and his maternal uncle came, Duke Hyeonjyeon was next. Fortunately, there are two decisive weapons, so Hyun Hyeong-gong won’t go crazy, but he will show Teresa, who should grow up seeing only good things, what she can’t do.

“Father, mother. It’s been a while since I greeted you.”

…?

‘What the fuck.’

Confusing. It’s definitely an appearance and voice I know, but my head can’t accept it.

A quiet, soft voice. Clear pronunciation without any odor. Even the eyes have a mysterious and warm atmosphere.

“Are you and your nephew doing well?”

‘Who are you?’

I felt like I was going crazy seeing Hyun Hyeong-gong acting like he was more than just not drunk.

***

I almost burst out laughing when I saw my nephew looking at me blankly.

There have been times when I’ve been completely fine in front of my nephew due to work-related issues, but this is the first time I’ve seen him as quiet as he is now. It may be confusing for the nephew.

‘Where is the daughter-in-law who goes crazy in front of her parents-in-law?’

At the same time, it is a bit of an outrageous reaction. How on earth was he looking at me to do that? Isn’t it natural for her daughter-in-law to be nice and quiet in front of her parents-in-law? Am I going to go out to the people who gave birth to me and raised me?

“Thanks to your concern, I was able to stay healthy. How was your sister?”

Anyway, she was the first to accept my greeting.

“A lovely niece was born. Who can’t live with her?”

At those words, the young lady smiled softly and gently lifted the baby in her arms.

…Hiyaa…

‘Cute…’

As soon as she saw it, she almost collapsed in tears.

Cute. So cute. That pure white skin, chubby cheeks, pursed mouth, and cute hands. Every single one is cute.

It’s like seeing Riri when she was just born. As it happens, my youngest niece is also a pretty girl like Lili.

“Would you like to hug me?”

“Well, is it okay though?”

I calmed my breathing, which had become rough without me realizing it, and asked back in as calm a voice as possible.

Calm down, myself. The baby is still weak. If you hug and kiss Riri like you did, it could go wrong.

“It’s not strange for a niece to be held in the arms of her maternal aunt.”

I quickly shook my head because it wasn’t strange at all.

As expected, Miss is the best. Maybe it’s because we have the same mother or because we have a cute nephew, but we know each other’s feelings well.

“Would Lili also want to see her brother’s face?”

“Are you my younger brother?”

“Well then. Lili is much older than me.”

Lili’s eyes sparkled as if she was excited about the birth of her younger cousin.

Although her niece gave birth to a son and three daughters, she was more like her nephew than her than Li Li’s brother or sister. So Lili’s only true younger sibling is this child.

“Uh, mother. Quickly… “

When I touched her, Lili’s face turned red as if it was about to burst, and she looked up at me with an earnest expression. She quickly hugged her little brother and asked him to show her too.

‘Hehe.’

I laughed at the sight of the cute girl doing her cute actions.

I can’t take it anymore. She was restraining herself because it was in front of her parents-in-law.

“Our Riri. Do you want her little brother so much? When we get back home, will her mom try and make an effort with her dad?”

“Del…?”

A panicked voice sounded from behind her, but she ignored it.

***

There was a second surprise announcement from Duke Hyeonjyeon, but it did not lead to a big uproar because Teresa was held in the arms of Duke Hyeonjae like a holy sword that pierced the heart of the devil.

“The youngest, the youngest nephew…”

“Ears, cute…”

‘It’s definitely effective.’

I looked at Duke Hyeonjeong and Duke So, who were constantly grinning, and then I looked at Teresa who was sleeping peacefully.

If I had been looked at like that, my face would have itched and I wouldn’t have been able to sleep. Our youngest, you are mentally stronger than I thought.

“…Ha, just once. If you kiss me just once…”

“No.”

He resolutely stopped Hyun Hyeong-gong, who was unable to comply with the seal and was expressing his desires

What a kiss. That is a privilege granted only to mothers. What if something goes wrong when an adult’s dirty lips touch that little guy?

“Is it really not possible?”

“No.”

I know it won’t work if it doesn’t work out. Before they take away what you’re holding.

“Hey…”

Even if you look sullen, I have no intention of paying attention.

“Ugh?”

“Huh?”

“Ah, I’m awake.”

Immediately after subduing Hyeong Hyeong-gong’s desire, Teresa slowly opened her eyes, as if she had slept enough.

“Blue eyes?”

And when he saw the blue eyes that were the hallmark of the Arras family, Duke Hyeonjeong’s hands trembled.

“Miss! Nephew! I really only do this once!”

“No, how many times do I say no!”

No one can do it until I do it!
