Chapter 104. A Saint who was Adopted by the Grand Duke
Updated: Apr 1
Flustered by her trivial gift, Esther quickly brought the plate in front of Darwin and returned to her seat.
Darwin’s eyebrows wriggled in bewildernt as he observed the cherry-studded cassata.
“If I heard right… Do you an you bought this for ? Did Esther choose this herself?”
His green eyes dilated more than ever before. He was enveloped in feelings that were difficult to explain.
“Father, you like sweets. I thought you'd like this, too.”
On the day Esther first arrived at the mansion, Darwin had a bowl filled with cookies inside his study.
Esther, still unaware the cookies were prepared for her until this very day, remained fooled with the idea that Darwin favored sweet things.
“Yes. I like them.”
Darwin’s face hardened. He imdiately nodded in agreent.
What about it. If Esther bought him the cassata for that reason, he would change his taste buds starting today.
“…?”
Delbert, aware of Darwin’s dislike of sweet foods, stood behind while blinking like a fool.
“The bakery is really good. Hurry up and try it.”
As soon as Esther got ho, she pulled out the desserts and filled herself with them. Everything was just immaculate.
Esther blinked her expectant eyes and waited for Darwin’s reaction.
“…Thank you. It is just a sha for to eat it. It would be a waste.”
Darwin was imrsed in emotion as he looked at the cassata in front of him.
His twin sons were blunt since they resembled Darwin, and in retrospect, they never thought to bring anything for him.
Perhaps that was why only one cassata managed to warm his heart like this.
“Khm.”
Irene seed to have filled his mind more than usual. He really wanted to show Irene this mont.
Irene, and Catherine.
Perhaps if nothing happened… His heart ached at the thought that maybe everyone could have been together right now.
The tip of his nose wrinkled as he had been too imrsed in his sadness. Darwin quickly titled his head backward.
‘No way, right now… Tears?’
TN: Yep, you are human too
