In the past, the Logan family had to deal with senior nobles. It was the ladies who urged me to give birth quickly.
They are useless people who just talk a lot. How can you push people to give birth? As if I didn’t want to already.
To put it another way, I’m not giving birth to a child alone, but the nonsense came back that a woman should do well and get the man’s affection.
It was as if communication was never a good part.
Since I had interacted with those kinds of people, the women gathered here were nothing.
“I’m looking forward to the next meeting, Lady Louella.”
“Thank you.”
“But…, what’s your relationship with Gerald? Is your engagement with him on hold?”
I was already expecting a question like this. Gerald, stop chasing me.
In the past, he used to follow me around. It was already strange enough, did he really leave all his social skills behind?
“No, madam. Gerald and I are just childhood friends.”
So don’t get me wrong, okay? Can you give me a break please? I’m waiting for your answer.
“Aha. I see.”
The lady smiled. I didn’t know if she believed me or not.
Gerald appeared from behind the lady.
It was as if he knew that we were talking about him.
“Louella, are you going back?”
“You should.”
“Then, let’s go.”
Do you know how many eyes are watching us? I’m not going to let this happen.
“You don’t have to, Gerald. Flora and I…”
“Flora left the academy to do business.”
Oh, my God, what a traitor…
I felt a sense of betrayal from Flora who went away without saying a word. I was determined and said, “I can go alone, Gerald. I’m an adult now.”
Gerald covered my exposed shoulder with a long piece of garment and said, “But that doesn’t mean I can’t take you home, Lulu.”
Gerald had the stubborn look he often showed me as a child. Gerald whispered in a low voice.
“It’s not like friends can’t do this much.”
The other ladies had already fled the scene.
All right, do as you please.
“Let’s go, let’s go,” I answered.
Gerald finally smiled brightly. Gerald’s face now looked transparent and appeared to be brighter in an instant.
“Do you want to stop by the dessert store and eat some sweets on the way?”
“Yes, yes.”
Then, he sparkled like a unicorn.
“There was no one to eat dessert with at the academy. So I’m really glad you’re back.”
“You had no one to eat dessert with?”
He was quite fond of sweets. That suited his soft appearance.
This was the case in my previous life. I used to buy a big cake on our wedding anniversary.
We used to share it.
There were times when we got along well as if we were playing house. The problem was that I was the only one who played house.
“I didn’t have any friends. People don’t like me very much.”
I don’t think so.
I looked at Gerald from the top of his head to his toes.
It couldn’t have been that he was lying! Having no friends with that tall and handsome stature. I can’t believe a guy like a unicorn who could work for anyone didn’t have any friends.
“That’s what I’m telling you, Lulu.”
So, you’re saying you just want to have dessert with me? I can just eat it with you.
“Let’s just hear what you’ve been doing at the academy, how have you been, and why you didn’t have any friends to eat dessert with.”
“I was just busy, so I didn’t have time to hang out. And everyone had someone else or something they were busy with.”
“Ah……”
Gerald laughed bitterly.
I could see what he was saying in no time. How many friends did you really come and hang out with? Most of them must have approached you with a purpose clearly.
Those approaching the Logan family, did not want to be friends with Gerald.
It’s not like I didn’t have them either.
In fact, even if the ladies introduced me to a man, would they exclude my family?
No way.
Our family background was something one could never fill in. Gerald wasn’t exactly someone without friends to hang out with. He might not have wanted to hang out with them.
I had met very few people who were as honest and clear as Flora.
“That’s why I only have Lulu.”
Gerald spoke like a child. The look on his face made me realize once again that Gerald is only 18 years old.
The Gerald of now is not the husband of my past.
Once again, the busy mind calmed down.
“Order everything you want to eat! It’s on me!”
“……I’m going to order everything.”
“Sure. It’s a graduation present from the Academy.”
“All right.”
Gerald was already smiling with a big grin. As expected, children are simple.
