I Will Disappear, Grand Duke | LK Adaptation

63

Gabrielle and the children were staying in Richel, one of Jungkook's estates.

In the wagon going there, Lalisa felt nervous and clasped her hands together.

'Is everyone staying healthy without any injuries? Maybe the children suffered from the aftermath of the war...'

Many worries filled her mind.

The carriage, which had been running for a long time, soon passed the checkpoint.

After entering the outskirts of the village, moving a little further, the entrance to the mansion began to be seen from afar. Jungkook, who got off first, reached out to her.

When she took his hand and stepped outside, a man rushed to them and bowed his head, seemingly the caretaker of the place.

Even before entering the mansion following the caretaker's guidance, someone from the inside popped out.

"Lalisa!"

Small children rushed out and clinged to Lalisa.

Excited, Lalisa bent her knees and made eye level with her children.

"Guys...... "

For some reason, she felt like she was about to cry, so Lalisa, who was trying her best to hold back the tears, hugged her children tightly.

"Lalisa, why are you so late? Are you sick again?"

"No, Lalisa, I hate it when you get sick."

The faces of the children, who looked up at her with whimper, were fortunately very healthy.

Lalisa sighed in relief and stroked the hair of the child standing next to her.

"No, I'm not hurt. Sorry for coming so late."

"Lalisa, are you crying? Your eyes are red."

Rosemary, hanging from her arm, reached out and touched her eyes. Lalisa smiled faintly and hugged Rosemary again.

In the midst of unraveling the affair with the children, Gabrielle, who ran out late, said excitedly.

"Oh, I heard that you were coming, but I didn't expect to be this soon!"

"Gabrielle."

Lalisa stood up and took Gabrielle's hand as she approached. Gabrielle's eyes were teary as if she was worried a lot.

"Are you hurt? Are you all right, huh?"

Gabrielle looked over her body urgently and asked. Lalisa nodded.

"I'm okay. There are no injuries."

"Yes, yes. I'm so glad to see you again safely..."

Gabrielle, who wiped the tears with her wrinkled hands, looked behind Lalisa.

"By the way, the one who came with you a while ago...."

With those words, Lalisa looked behind her and her eyes widened.

Because Jungkook was nowhere to be seen.

'... Did he leave?'

Lalisa looked at the empty yard with complicated eyes.

Soon after turning her head again, she entered the mansion after a long reunion greeting.

The mansion was bigger than she expected and the inside was very neat, Lalisa couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"We've been treated so well, I don't know what to do."

Gabrielle, who was following Lalisa's gaze looking around inside, hurriedly added her words.
