Chapter 19

Marie and Ellie lay side by side in their room. They had just come back after watching Brielle sleeping.

Thanks to the Count's care, the room that belonged to them was a pretty good room in the mansion. It may be because it was a room with a light brown nuance, so it looked very cozy and warm. The window was also wide, so the garden was visible at a glance.

"Really, this feels good."

Ellie often went outside the mansion but was excited to know that she and her older sister had a night date alone.

"I think it's better to lie side by side with my sister."

The two changed into comfortable clothes from a market stall while they were out and lied on the wide bed together. Marie quickly became broken-hearted. She felt as though she should have paid more attention to Ellie and patted the hair of the favorite child.

Marie promised to do better for Ellie and Barry every day, but there was something odd about this.

'She has a more mature side than her peers. She doesn't show up unless asked, and she looks after herself.'

It was only when she was with Brielle that Ellie acted her age.

"Do you want to sleep with me?"

"Yes!"

Excited by her sister's warm words, Ellie quickly clung to her side, grabbed Marie's hand tightly, and took it to her cheek. Marie continued to look at the child's appearance in the darkness. A round forehead, long eyelashes, and a cute nose.

If there was a television here, she could have been a child actor.

"Sister."

"Why?"

Even with her eyes closed halfway, Ellie, who wants to keep this moment for a long time, said, barely awakening.

"Are you doing well with Mr. Yuses?"

"Why do you have such a misunderstanding? We're not really in a relationship."

It seemed that even Ellie had sympathized with the young master's wrong idea. She saw him in the market earlier, but his actions were plain. So, she doesn't think she likes him.

"But...you..."

"Huh?"

Ellie fell asleep without saying anything else. It seemed that she was lost in the pouring drowsiness.

After Marie looked at the child a little more, she put the blanket well over her neck, and she took a good night's sleep herself.

The Count's breakfast table was lined with one more person.

"Ellie. Sit next to me."

Marie said she was okay and would eat separately, but Kentrail insisted, saying it would make Brielle disappointed. It was because a few days ago, Brielle's words about why Ellie was eating alone were stuck in his heart.

She would be lonely after her brother left, so she had to pay more attention to Ellie.

"Good morning."

Ellie said her greeting to the Count and Brielle, who were sitting in the seat first, then she sat in what appeared to be her seat.

"Yes. Was it fun yesterday?" He asked after allowing them to go out yesterday.
