Side Story 9. Between spring and summer (3)

I explained the situation to Chaerine, who barely stopped crying.

Saying that Aster didn’t have bad intentions. That he just wanted to get along with Chaerine.

“He wasn’t angry….…?”

Chaerine asking, with her round wide eyes and nasal voice.

“Mommy thought that Chaerine cried because she’s scared of…..…”

Apparently, Chaerine thought that Aster, who stared at her, would be angry at her.

Well, I thought it would be a little scary if a stranger looked at me so intensely and asked me what my name was.

“No, he just wants to get along with Kael, but he doesn’t know what to do.”

Then Chaerine nodded her head slightly.

What was left now was Yssius, who still had a sulky look on his face.

“Yssi, did you hear that? So, when you meet Aster again, you have to be nice to him, okay?”

Cassius patted Yssius on the shoulder, but Yssius did not seem to be pleased.

“Dad, but he made Kael cry.”

“It’s just a mistake. Yssi also makes mistakes sometimes.”

“That’s true, but…….”

“And Yssi is older than Aster, so because Aster is still young, let’s Yssi Hyung be more understanding.”

Yssius, who was about to open his mouth as if he had something to say, listened to Cassius and shut up.

“Why, is there anything else you want to say?”

“Oh, no, it’s……….”

Yssius hesitated to avoid answering.

As I tilted my head and looked curious, Yssius gestured quietly and told me to put my ears close.

‘What’s he got to say?’

As Yssius said, Yssius covered his mouth with his hand and whispered in a voice as loud as an ant’s sound.

“Mom, what if he takes Kael away……?”

“Huh?”

When I took off my ears and looked down at Yssius, he looked quite serious.

“I’ve been thinking that’s.…….”

Only then did I understand why Yssius hardened his face.

‘This part of the jealousy really resembles Cassius.’

Yssius was clearly fond of Aster at first, but he seemed to have changed his mind when he saw Aster expressing his desire to be close to Chaerine quite actively.

Chaerine doesn’t seem to have thought of it, but Yssius seems to know that Aster’s behaviour is based on his liking for Chaerine.

In this word, he was worried that Aster would seduce Chaerine and take her away.

“In fairy tales, princesses get a lot of proposals. What if he does that to Kael? I want to continue living with Kael.”

I shifted my gaze from Yssius to Cassius, I saw Cassius shut his mouth in silence.

Just by looking at his face, I could see what he was thinking.

He must have been dumbfounded and amazed to see that his behaviour of jealousy of trivial things and constantly asked to look after himself, was inherited to his son.

“No, Yssi. Getting a proposal doesn’t mean you have to get married..”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, and when Aster asks Chaerine to be close to him, it’s because he really wants to be Kael’s real friend, not marry her.”

At the age of four, Aster won’t think about getting married already, and his liking for Chaerine maybe just a level of favour for his peers.

“Oh, is that so?”

Cassius nodded and added to Yssius’s words.

“Yes, and Kael probably wants to keep living here with us.”

“Oh, thank God.”

In fact, even if Chaerine got married when she grew up, it was highly likely that her husband would have to come to the Imperial Palace to live.

I’m not going to tell Yssius about that now because it’s too difficult to explain it to a 7-year-old child.

“So, Yssi, don’t hate Aster too much. I think Aster would like to get along with Yssi too.”

“Well….. I see.”

Yssius replied reluctantly.

Then, he lifted up Chaerine, who was drowsy after crying and sat her on his lap.

“Kael, are you going to sleep here?”

Chaerine nodded still, and Yssius changed his posture and began singing lullabies for her to sleep more comfortably.

Looking at them, I smiled happily and leaned on Cassius’ shoulder.

“Excuse me…….”

Chaerine turned her head to the voice coming from her back.

Finding a slowly approaching silver-haired boy, she’s slightly hardened, but I told her that it was okay.

Looking closely, I can see Eugene from afar, looking at this side with a slightly nervous expression.

Aster also came at a much slower pace than before, fearing that Charine would be surprised again.

He paused and hesitated when he was about a meter away from Chaerine, but came to a step closer as Chaerine did not avoid him unlike before.

As his blue eyes turned to her, Chaerine clasped my collar.

But Aster soon looked down at the ground and opened his mouth with a squeezed voice.

“About before…..I’m sorry.”

When Aster said sorry, Chaerine’s eyes grew bigger.

Aster’s face slowly turned red, hiding his hands behind his back and wriggling his feet.

Aster, who had his eyes closed tightly, plucked up a container and pulled out a hidden object behind his back.

A wreath is woven with white clover.

‘Oh my gosh……’

I was intrigued by the pretty cute gift.

“This, because I was sorry …….”

Aster, who placed the wreath slightly over Chaerine’s head, said hesitatingly.

Aster, who gave her the wreath, looked blankly at her face and backed away in surprise. Perhaps it was because the distance was so close that he was afraid Chaerine burst into tears again.

“So, sorry.”

His face was redder than before.

Chaerine, who had raised her hands with a blank face and fiddled with the wreath, spoke to Aster, who bowed his head.

“Thank you……”

Aster, who was wriggling his hand nervously, looked up and looked at Chaerine.

Seeing Aster with a flushed face and lowering his head again, I whispered to Chaerine.

“Kael, let him know your name. Name.”

Looking up at me still, Chaerine nodded silently.

And she approached Aster slowly, just as Aster approached her.

Aster, who was lowering his head, raised his head and looked surprised as Chaerine stood in front of him.

“Chaerine.”

Chaerine looked Aster in the eye and said.

“My name is Chaerine.”

Aster’s face, which was full of tension, was relaxed at Chaerine’s calm voice.

Aster’s eyes, who slightly raised the corners of his mouth, shone with joy, just like when he ate delicious cookies.

Eugene, who was looking at the children from a distance, breathed a sigh of relief, and I smiled as well.

Erica, Astra and Rachel also burst out laughing and said, ‘Good for them, good for them when I shared the things later.

Everyone was smiling happily at the scene.

Except for two people.

“Dad……”

Yssius was in tears when he saw Aster giving Chaerine the wreath, saying his worries were right.

And Cassius, who saw his daughter, who he raised with gold and jade, receive a gift from a boy, also had a blazing look.

‘I can’t fall asleep easily tonight either…….’

I thought while looking at the sky where the white lump clouds were floating.

“Cassius, stop being depressed.”

After the tea party, Cassius and Yssius were in a mess…

Yssius grabbed the clueless Chaerine and told her not to go anywhere else, but to continue living with her brother, but eventually burst into tears.

Cassius placated Yssius but could not hide his glaring eyes.

Eventually, he clung to me when the children got tired and went to bed earlier than usual. Saying that he needs therapy since his heart broke or whatever.

But he’s been hanging on my waist for three hours and I feel like I’m going to die of suffocation.

“How can I feel better so easily……? Another man might snatch my daughter who I raised like golden and jade.”

“Excuse me, your very daughter is still four years old. She still has a long way to go before she gets married.”

“But it breaks my heart just imagining it……….”

Seriously, is there any way to cure that silly comment?

He was more and more clingy when we were still dating but it was surprising to see he was not getting better after getting married.

“Yerine says it’s too early to worry, but Yssius has similar concerns as I do.”

“Yssius may think so because he’s too young, but what’s wrong with you?”

I put the book I was reading with a sigh on my lap.

“She’s still a four-year-old and you’re already worried about her getting married to someone else.”

“I have no choice but to worry. Chaerine looks a lot like Yerine, so she’s cute, pretty, and she’s like a baby angel with a lot of skill.”

Cassius explained in a speech.

“I’m sure there will be more than one person who will propose marriage to Chaerine later.”

“Well, I agree, but isn’t it kind of weird to worry about that already?”

Updated from novelhall[.]com

“No. She’s only four years old, and look, that Duke’s son has already given her a wreath today.”

Cassius said in a melancholy voice, hugging my waist in both his hands.

Then he looked up at me, with his gloomy golden eyes, and said.

“Yerine, do you know how nervous I was when we were still dating because not only one or two people liked you?”

“Well, I didn’t have as many confessions as I thought.”

“I’ve dealt with them……no, but anyway, there were a lot of people who liked you back then. It’s just that you didn’t know because no one told you that.”

“Wait, what do you mean, dealt with them?”

“No, that’s just a misspoke.”

I thought I heard something strange, but I decided to let it go.

Cassius then lifted himself up and kissed my cheek briefly.

“Anyways, I’m going to stay with Yerine until we go to bed. If I don’t do this, I can’t stand it because I’m too depressed.”

“You’re just trying to bother me using Chaerine as an excuse right?

“No.”

Cassius shook his head and said.

“Well, I don’t mean to bother you, it’s just because I like you so much?”

“Again, another temptation.”

“Did I get caught?”

Cassius rolled up the corners of his mouth and laughed.

‘Oh, come on. How can a father’s face be so handsome like this?’

That’s why I keep accepting it.

I sighed and reopened the book again, but Cassius shook his head and placed his hand on mine.

It was a sign that I should not read a book and talk to him.

“Play with me.”

Before I knew it, the golden eyes digested the gloomy look and had shone a bright light.

He lightly knocked me over with a smile and kissed the back of my nose, unable to bear it.

Those golden eyes, who resembled the sun, were shining, asking me to look only at him.

He locked me in his arms and looked at me with a playful smile.

“How are you going to live without me?”

“You know I can’t live like that, so you married me.”

“You know it well.”

Cassius, who heard my answer, looked satisfied and buried his head between my neck and shoulder.

“Thank you. I’ll treat you, even more, better, ma’am.”

Chup!

With a chuckle, the bare skin that touched the lips was engulfed in heat.

“So just hang out with me tonight.”

It’s never my fault to fall for this temptation, it’s all because of this smug handsome face. I hugged his neck, repeating to myself.
