Chapter 339 – A Family (6)
“What?”
After returning from her walk, Eve did not immediately go to the gate of the mansion. She went to the carriage parking lot out of nowhere and saw a nice carriage standing there. She looked at the wagon and smiled and rocked her wheelchair.
“Eh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh.”
Selou, who was sitting in her wheelchair, was started by her sudden shaking of herself. Matilda was also taken aback by her Eve’s reaction to her, so she looked a little surprised. Eve said to Matilda.
“You’ve never met my husband, have you?”
“Ah, Lord Lucius?”
Matilda trembled with a little fear. It was because she knew very well about Lord Peta Lucius. Peta Lucius. At the academy, he was called the king of sex, and he was a man rumored to be sexually inclined since he couldn’t get an erection unless he was of a different race. Matilda was a little afraid that she would actually face such a human being.
“Yes. You should say hello too. Anyway, you are sponsored by my husband’s money.”
“Yes, it is.”
Matilda nodded her head. He had never seen Peta Lucius’ face before. Rumors said he was quite handsome, so he was only vaguely associated with mean-looking handsome men. Technically, it was Lucius who saved her from the hands of her brother her, Lord Delmon, so this was somewhat rude, but her preconceived notions her according to her rumors her could not be helped.
“Groom!”
Eve shouted as she opened the gate. As soon as I opened the door, I saw someone’s back. Matilda involuntarily squeezed her hands together. There was a man with short black hair and a slim physique. Eve looked at the man and said with a frown on her face.
“What. You are a warrior.”
“What? Hello Mr. Eve. Long time no see.”
The warrior who turned her head had a very tired face. The face and body of him were covered with dirt, and the sheath of the sword was also dirty. Eve looked at A.A’s disfigured face and asked anxiously.
“What about the groom? Didn’t something happen?”
“I went up to the office for a while to talk. I think you went to look for Mr. Eve, did you go out?”
“Uh. Time for a walk.”
“Walk? Oh You are working hard.”
A.A looked at Selu and nodded her head as if understanding. Sellu only giggled, as if the reaction was funny. Eve lowered Selu from her wheelchair and told Matilda.
“Let’s go. To meet my husband But why are you standing there? Just come in.”
“The hallways are dirty. I’m waiting because the priest is bringing my slippers with me. I want to wash up right away.”
“Okay?”
Apparently, A.A wanted to wash up with Lucius. As Eve smiled and looked at her A.A., A.A. Blushed at her and sighed. Eve took Matilda’s hand her and headed for her upstairs. Suddenly holding her hand her, Matilda looked at her Eve her with her bewildered face her. Eve briskly tried to climb up, but when she saw the look on her face her, she quickly let go of her hand her.
“Oh sorry. Didn’t you like it?”
Matilda hastily shook her head. Seluga whispered in A.A.’S ear.
“Warrior. Look at that. Our Eve is considerate of others’ feelings.”
“How amazing.”
When Eve glared at her frowning, Sellu wowed. She did and she screamed and ran away. Aye smiled. Eve shook her head and looked back at Matilda.
“Let’s hurry.”
“Ah yes.”
Matilda followed Eve, her heart tightening in her anticipation of Lucius. What the hack did she look like? Her tension increased as the door to her office her got closer. Eve opened the door and called Lucius.
“God…”
“Coachman. Why does the person write the report smell like alcohol?”
“Oops, that… What is it… Her friends told her to just have a drink and go… That…”
“Did I tell you? Don’t leak it any other way and report it right away.”
“…Sorry.”
Lucius, who came into Matilda’s eyes, had a very sharp look. His face was messy and his bright blond hair was disheveled, but his red eyes were burning brightly. His gaze his fell on the coachman. The coachman kept apologizing to Lucius with her head bowed. He clicked his tongue and said to the driver.
“That’s Okay. I had a hard time coming back. It must have been hard coming, so please go and rest. I drink a little bit.”
The driver bowed her head and hurriedly disappeared. Eve looked at her coachman with her awkward face her, then at Lucius again. Matilda straightened the hem of her dress and slipped behind Eve. Certainly Lucius was a handsome man. However, her impression of her was somewhat different from what she thought. Except for the harsh eyes in her eyes, she was more handsome than she expected.
It seemed that the fierce look in his eyes of her was also due to the venom from some difficult event that had happened this time. As soon as he saw her Eve her, he smiled softly and hugged her tightly without saying a word from her. Eve smiled brightly and hugged him. Matilda suddenly recalled her parents from her married couple. They always quarreled in front of Matilda over who she was more at fault.
[Who are you to blame for not being able to earn money? It’s all your fault no?]
[As long as you enter the house! All you talk about is fucking dog shit bitch! I know how to lay a kid, uh! Set the table quickly!]
Then Matilda would avoid them and go up to a church or a garden to read her books to her. If there hadn’t been a nun who recognized that Matilda’s ability to learn was genius, she might have been sold as a maid to some aristocratic house at some point or dragged around as a slave under the name of a concubine.
“You should introduce yourself.”
Eve’s hand her lightly touched Matilda’s shoulder her. Only at that moment did Matilda belatedly return to her reality her. She looked around her with a brief exclamation of ah. Lucius’ eyes were on Matilda. His eyes flashed a strange light for a moment, then settled again. He muttered, stroking her Matilda’s head her.
“My brother was only you.”
“Did you have a brother or sister?”
“Long ago.”
Lucius said so and picked up the slippers from the floor. Then he picked up a cookie from the desk in his office, chewed on one, and said to Eve.
“Let’s talk later. I’m going to wash now.”
“What about the takeover?”
“I will not. Anyway, I have to go again in ten days. There are five stages of training.”
“What am I supposed to do if my husband is so strong alone?”
“I can protect you. Don’t you believe me?”
Lucius mumbled a cookie and said so to Eve. Eve smiled brightly, as if she was in a good mood despite the cliché. Lucius pointed at Matilda and said.
“Hey, what’s his name?”
“Matilda.”
“Oh, wait. Is this Matilda?”
Lucius looked at Matilda with a strange expression. It was a slightly different look from before. He clicked his tongue slightly, shook his head, grabbed the doorknob, and spoke to Eve.
“I’m going to wash up then?”
“Oh, good-bye, husband. Are you going to sleep together today?”
Eve asked. Lucius gave a thumbs up, opened the door, and disappeared. Eve stomped her foot lightly, like a child discovering a strange structure at an amusement park, then squeezed Matilda’s shoulder her and asked.
“What do you think? Our groom?”
“Oh, you are a wonderful person.”
Matilda looked at Lucius and thought that he was such an elusive human being. In a way, he was a very sharp and fierce human being, but the moment-to-moment human side made it difficult to guess his true nature. If Elsie was the epitome of a simple human, Lucius was the epitome of a complex human. Eve said.
“Right? I think so too.”
“How did you two get married?”
Eve closed her mouth at those words and averted her gaze. It was because the incident at the time of the marriage was too eventful and cruel to tell now. Matilda said she didn’t know much about the incident she had previously committed.
“Just, what… Several things happened. I was in prison, and my groom saw me and proposed to me. Yes.”
She did not tell the story of her castrating men or raping women feebly. Eve kind of hated that she was trying to distance herself from her by telling Matilda such a thing. Matilda said what she imagined when she heard Eve’s omitted story about her.
“It’s romantic.”
“Oh, yes. Not romantic.”
She did not even mention that the confession of her came in the middle of her rape and blackmail of her using her own mother. It wasn’t such a bad thing for Matilda to form an image of Lucius as a sweet man.
Eve sighed and sat down in her office chair. Matilda was standing at her desk her in her office her, looking at her books her. Eve asked in a sweet tone when she didn’t go out.
“Aren’t you going?”
“Yes?”
“So, I heard you have to write a report today.”
“Oh, you can just use that later. Rather… Is Eve free today?”
“Why?”
Eve widened her eyes. Matilda took the secretary’s chair next to her office and sat down facing Eve. Eve looked at her as she came out this way, raising the corners of her eyes slightly. Matilda said.
“I want to hear a little bit about Mr. Eve today. So, that… I want to hear the story of Mr. Eve’s family.”
“The story of my family? Wouldn’t it be fun to listen to it?”
In fact, I could guarantee that it would be a very interesting story. Her family story her consisted of murder and rape, torture and blackmail. However, the moment I told Matilda the story, I was sure that the relationship between Eve and Matilda would end in a very boring way.
But Matilda was looking at Eve with great interest. Because her Eve was an adult in her unconventional position for her. Despite being her her supporter her, she treated Matilda with her openness her, never laid a hand on her or did anything strange to her, and her personality her was very friendly without being superficially harsh.
If the nun who nurtures her is like her older sister her, Matilda’s feelings for Eve now were something a little different. Matilda decided to describe this feeling as ‘interest’.
“Then, I will tell you the story of my life on Mermaid Island. This story will still be quite interesting to you.”
“A mermaid island?”
“Okay. Mermaid Island. It was near Esta, and there were once a lot of mermaids living there. They all moved now.”
“Why did everyone move?”
“Because other islands have better conditions.”
“It’s for some practical reason.”
“Even mermaids have practical reasons, and even though my mother looked like that, she was the head of that mermaid island in the past.”
“A boss?”
Matilda’s eyes her sparkled as she listened to the story she did n’t know. As Eve talked, she grinned. Sieri, who was coming back from sorting out the papers, opened the door at the sound of laughter coming from across the room, then quietly closed the door and went back to the room. She then started sorting out her papers, humming her song her.
The sound of laughter spilling out of the window could be heard even in the pool. She grinned as she heard the laughter of Selou, who was swimming leisurely in the pool.
“Hehe.”
