Chapter 393 – Might Be Real, Family (6)

“When are you going to tell me?”

“What?”

This was the question that Sellu asked Eve, who was eating fruit by the pool. Eve tossed a piece of pineapple into her mouth and mumbled back. Next to Sellu, A.A was taking a foot bath. As she ate the pineapple, she had a look of happiness on her face. Sellu looked at A.A.’S stomach and asked.

“Matilda you want to adopt.”

“Yes? How did you know mom?”

Since she hadn’t told anyone, she assumed no one would notice. But she was, in fact, known to everyone in the mansion that she was attached to Matilda like her own daughter her. Ayy passed her fruit and nodded at her.

“Everyone thinks so. Because Matilda wanders around her mansion her. It is not openly talked about.”

Eve shook her hand as her face her blushed at A-A’s words her.

“No, that, that… So let’s talk about it after we get to know each other better. If someone like me suddenly said that she wanted to be a mother, I would be surprised.”

“Good luck thinking about qualifications. I suddenly became a mother.”

Sellu said in a teasing tone. Eve responded to her.

“What is it, Mom? So, don’t you hate having a daughter like me?”

Sellu grinned at her reply.

“You have to think carefully, as much as you can carefully decide. There are no conditions for being a mother, but various conditions come with being a good mother.”

“I can do everything. All you have to do is stay by my side I have money, I have a lot of time. Isn’t it enough for the groom to defeat Evangeline now? It will do you really well.”

“Hehe. Great.”

Sellu reached out and tried to stroke Eve’s head. She bowed her head as Eve tried to refuse, frowning. Her wet hands her pressed against her hair her, squeezing it.

“Matilda?”

Sellu asked, stroking her Eve’s head.

“I’m with Elsie. This time, she gave me homework to spend time interacting with and understanding beastmen and mermaids at the academy.”

“I was pushed by Elsie.”

“No it’s not.”

Eve vehemently denied her cellu’s teasing her. But Selou smirked and pressed her Eve’s side her tightly. Eve got up from her seat, avoiding Sellu. I could hear Selu’s laughter from her.

“Cool. The Marimba tribe has such a tradition. Do you know anything about traditional recipes?”

Matilda was looking at Elsie with her eyes twinkling. Elsie was explaining her with her happy face her, as if the situation was n’t so bad that someone wanted to hear about her own tribal culture her. At the end of various information such as her clothing culture, hunting culture, and coming-of-age ceremony, the question that came to Elsie was traditional cuisine. But Elsie shook her head with a frown on her face.

“I don’t know much about traditional cuisine. Because I was a warrior. From an early age, the Marimba tribe raises children with and without talent in battle separately. Strong children become warriors, and weak children learn cooking and traditional culture. I was a strong kid from birth, so I grew up to be a warrior.”

“Is that so? That’s too bad.”

Matilda put on a sullen expression as if she was really sorry. Elsie wrapped her hair as if she wanted to give Matilda her help her, she said.

“Aunt Mila. Mila would know.”

“Yes? That, who is that?”

Matilda thought that somehow she was a name she had heard a lot. Aunt Mila? Mila? She’s obviously Where did she hear Where did she hear? I think I’ll remember it if I think about it a little bit, but I couldn’t remember who it was.

“Every woman from another tribe living in the capital. The other day, she went to the capital to marry a nobleman.”

At that, Matilda remembered where she had heard the name Mila.

[Mila is a prisoner, but she is wiser and warmer than anyone else. Ever since I first met her Mila, I felt I couldn’t get away from her. This time in the Eastern Plains, when the case is over, she will marry her.]

It was the name in the letter from James. Matilda’s face her went white when she remembered her name her, then she returned to normal. Elsie stretched out her hand to Matilda with her worried look on her face her.

“Little. It looks very painful. Are you okay?”

“Oh, okay, it’s okay. Yes. That… What kind of person was Mila?”

Matilda was curious about the woman who had stolen her own boyfriend of her. She knew that James had taken her her academy students to her protests her, and that he loved her her Mila dearly, but she had never really seen her Mila’s face her.

“Every good lady. She cooks well and is as big as a bear, so among her tribe there was no cook as strong as Aunt Mila.”

Matilda imagined her appearance similar to Elsie’s, but also as gigantic as a bear. Just thinking about her made her terrifying. Matilda shook her head and asked Elsie again.

“How did you date the person you were going to marry?”

Said Elsie.

“Coited.”

“Yes? Yes?”

Matilda jumped up like someone who hadn’t heard her words and looked around her again, blushing at her. She suppressed her beating heart, covering her face with the report she was writing. For her, who was still young, this story was very stimulating.

“Wait, what the hell…”

“The priest and I were together at the time. Mila and she mated with the nobleman, but they liked each other so much that they only copulated for a week.”

“… Muh, what…”

Matilda’s face her flushed red. A feeling of humiliation welled up in her chest that she hadn’t felt when she was simply told that she had an affair with Soo-in. That she flirted with a bearish woman and stuck with her? As soon as you fall with me

“Under…”

Matilda let out a deep sigh and shook her head. Elsie asked.

“Little. Have you ever seen Aunt Mila?”

“No. That… I will refer to it later when researching data. Thank you.”

“If you want to hear about the mermaid, she says it’s in the pool. There are both big mermaids and mermaids. Go and talk I have to go to training from now on, so I have to go out.”

“Yes. You worked hard.”

As Elsie left, Matilda greeted her with a nod of her head. Elsie’s furry hand moved. Matilda clutched at her paper again as she closed her door and left. Laughter was heard from outside.

“Mom.”

A few days after Lucius left to settle the parental rights issue, Eve spoke to Sellu. Today Selou was working with Eve in her office. It was a job for Sellu to neatly gather the documents that had been approved in one place. Sellu replied, stacking up the papers and arranging them neatly in a pretty shape.

“What’s the matter?”

“Will you be a really good mother if you stay by my side?”

“Are you feeling anxious already?”

“Rather than feeling insecure, I want to hear from those who experienced it. Because my mother was someone who didn’t think that way.”

“Hehe, it pricks where it hurts.”

Eve was talking about Mermaid Island. She even thought of going back to Mermaid Island, where she left her Eve on Mermaid Island. The reason is simple in a word, long explanation. It was because Eve, a mermaid mother, was better off not being able to see her, so that Eve could better integrate with humans. Eve still couldn’t understand why she wanted to leave for that reason.

“Why my mother thought that, she still honestly doesn’t understand a little bit. She sometimes gets upset when she thinks back.”

“We are not mind readers. We don’t know what each other wants most. You never know unless you tell me.”

At Sellu’s words, Eve nodded her head, but she hesitated.

“Would Matilda want to have a mother like me?”

“I do not know. Eve I know what you want because I’ve seen you for a long time, but I’m too young to understand her granddaughter’s heart her.”

“What is that. Are you saying you are her granddaughter already?”

“But she thinks it hurts to call Matilda her grandmother her. Eve. When you introduce me later, will you introduce me as her aunt?”

“She already said she was my mom, so why is she suddenly having her be my aunt. Accept it Mom is now a grandmother.”

“Hehe.”

Sellu shook her head when she heard that. She then slammed her face into her desk, showing a sign of sadness.

“Oh, Mom! The paperwork is messy!”

“I lost my motivation.”

Next day. Eve and Matilda met in Matilda’s room. This time, it was to have time to learn about the ecology of mermaids. Originally, Matilda had planned to listen to her story from Sellu, but Sellu said she needed to practice her swimming and told her to ask Eve. Eve thanks Selou for spending her time with Matilda, but she laughs at the absurd excuse of swimming time.

“Then my mother, looking at the fish, she said: ‘no! Don’t run away!’She should have seen her mother’s expression her then…”

Matilda smiled brightly as she listened to Eve’s story her. The two of them were chatting beyond the customs of mermaids. Matilda had always admired Eve for being considerably more cultured than her impression of her. The two of them, who had been chatting non-stop, stopped talking for a while at some point.

Eve took advantage of the gap and asked Matilda.

“Matilda. So, she… What are you going to do with adoption? Are there any parents you want in particular?”

Matilda glanced at her Eve and shook her head. Eve said.

“Well, you have a lot of time, and since you don’t have parents with parental rights right now, you mean me and the groom are temporary guardians? So you can think very slowly while we take care of you. If you look around you, there might be people around you whom you would like to parent. So. Even if you’re not necessarily your parents, there might be people who want to live happily and happily as a family. That person also treats you as a family… You may be thinking.”

Eve was trying hard not to pretend she wasn’t herself. Watching her talk with her feigned aloofness her, Matilda laughed.

“Yes. That… I’ll think about it.”

Eve imagined her future her raising her her Matilda. Matilda, with her brain her, will one day become very successful and make a name for herself in her kingdom her. Eve will take care of her with her Lucius her, give her generous support and clap her behind her back her.

Eve felt like she was dreaming. Can a half-mermaid who escaped from the slave market be this happy? Can a pirate who used to kill people be this happy?

And when she thought that far, her Eve’s face darkened.

“Mr. Eve?”

Eve looked at Matilda. Would she want Matilda to accept her former pirate killer her as her mother her?
