Daddy, I Don’t Want Chapter 4

At my words, his eyes widened before slowly turning back to normal. Even the corner of his lips tilted as if he couldnt believe .

Youre bluffing. Do you really think Ill believe that?

I sighed at his wary attitude.

Well then, it would be a waste of ti to say any more.

Its up to you whether to believe it or not. I already said what I needed to say.

I turned around, but a cold voice stopped

in my tracks.

Fine, Ill trust you. Just dont appear in front of

ever again.

The corners of my mouth quirked up at his unexpected words.

I guess the breakup was successful?

Whatever his reason was, he accepted it. I felt relieved.

Now my goal was to enjoy life to the fullest extent. Although Father was indifferent towards , he didnt mind supporting the luxurious life I gained from being his daughter. It wouldnt be bad to live happily while spending his money.

My spirits increased as I imagined a bright future. I glanced back at Mikhail and smiled.

Im sorry for everything thats happened until now. I wish you happiness.

After bidding him farewell sincerely, I turned around.

When I used to et Mikhail, I usually wore pretty but uncomfortable shoes. The ones I wore today were plain and low-heeled.

Was it thanks to these comfortable shoes that I was able to leave without regrets?

She said shes sorry for everything?

Mikhail scoffed while staring at the womans retreating figure.

Bullshit. It must be a ploy to get my attention.

He was certain that the woman would turn around again and co back to him. But contrary to his expectations, she continued to walk away without sparing him another glance. When she finally left the waiting room, he clenched his fists.

Was she being serious?

Jubelian Eloy Floyen.

She was undoubtedly beautiful, despite suffering from an illness of the mind. For the past two years, he had endured her behavior, which she had excused in the na of love. The woman followed him wherever he went. She showed hostility to the people he spoke to and was overjoyed if he gave her even a little attention. She was like a dog; A stupid dog who wagged her tail even when pushed away and showed affection even when her master did not.

Although it was very annoying, he tolerated her because of the attention he received from her father and his idol, Duke Floyen.

Its nice to et you, Mikhail, the duke had said when they first t.

In addition, he was relieved that other annoying won didnt bother him when she was with him.

Why did she suddenly change her mind?

Plagued with uncertainty, Mikhail clenched his fists unconsciously. Now that the woman was now completely out of sight, he unexpectedly felt strange instead of relieved.

Its a relief I wont have to see that troubleso woman anymore.

Mikhail tried to focus on this mindset to shake off conflicting thoughts, but

Damn it.

He couldnt stop thinking about her.

Her words continued to play in his mind: Im sorry for everything until now. I wish you happiness.

He couldnt forget her smile either. She even looked a little relieved.

* * *

Ah, it feels like the knot in the pit of my stomach has been unraveled. Ill go up to my room and rest now.

I had just co ho after parting with Mikhail. It was then I ran into a handso man by the front door. I had inherited his silver hair and blue eyes, but not his striking appearance. Because he was a transcendent being who aged slowly, it seed like we could be siblings.

There may be a day when Ill look older than this person.

Father, how was your day? I greeted him with an upbeat voice, which was the complete opposite of how I felt inside.

He stared at

with indifference. Although we were family, it had been many years since I greeted him like this.

Do not co here again, he had told

once.

After being turned away, I only talked to him when it concerned important business. But now I had a reason to pretend to be friendly to him.

I just want to live happily.

After retrieving the mories of my previous life, I realized an important fact: No matter how much I begged for his love, my father would eventually abandon . In addition to being lacking in many ways, I was nothing more than a shaful existence that he never ntioned to other people. Since I wasnt going to be loved by him anyway, I would give up and find my happiness elsewhere.

Yes, the happiness of money!

Of course, I had a conscience, so I didnt intend to be greedy. A small estate in the outskirts of the city, so money from my father, and a job handling one of his countless responsibilities would be enough.

In fact, I would still be living a luxurious life even with only those things.

I had no intention of begging for my fathers love anymore. But as long as I needed his money, it was important to maintain a proper relationship. If I didnt get along with him like in the original novel, I might end up with not even a penny.

I showed him an insincere smile that I learned from working in retail.

You must be tired from supervising training all day.

Once again, he didnt answer.

My God! Would it kill him to say a word?

His behavior brought

into a foul mood like it would any other human being. Even so, I was used to being ignored by him.

You should go and relax. I will go up, too. I hurriedly finished the one-sided conversation and started climbing the stairs to the second floor.

It was then I heard him speak.

There was no training today.
