In order to hold it steady, he stitched the fish to a small branch.
In the anti, the bucket was overflowing with water.
Laritte caught the bucket before it got drifted away with the current of the lake.
Wait.
Now I will hold it.
That is ridiculous!
Laritte tried to run back the way she ca from with the bucket in her hands.
So that it would be impossible for him to catch up to her.
But soon Ian, who was able to catch up to her, grabbed the handle of the bucket.
I already told you before, so it would be fair if you let .
You surely have the ability to brazen up nonsense. Cant you see the bucket is full to its brim?
He was holding the buckets handle with one of his hands. Laritte shifted her eyes to look at his other hand, noticing that it was wriggling.
It held the fish stitched on a branch.
He is driving crazy.
Eventually, Laritte bursted into a huge laughter.
But this caused her to loosen her grip on the handle.
Laritte almost lost her strength, laughing at the sight while the handle broke away from the bucket.
And Ian was still holding it
Suddenly, the bucket flew towards him, spatting out all the water on his face.
It was the freezing cold water.
Water dripped down his cheeks.
But it was Larittes face that changed its color, turning pale instantly.
Shocked, she stopped herself.
It was when Ian sneezed that she ca to her senses.
While Ian was wiping away the water that flowed down to his solid chest, Laritte brought so hot tea.
His appearance of putting her coat on his shoulder like a blanket seed pathetic in the light of the fire.
Larrite handed him the cup, bending her knee to sit down next to him.
.I really feel very sorry.
Its okayAchoo!
Even Laritte, who had to grow up without expressing her feelings, frowned at her own foolishness.
That stamring excuse gave her a frank feeling.
That..fish was so funny.
The fish was still on his hand, with its eyes opened.
Suddenly Ian, who was staring at the fish, started laughing.
Haha!
Dont laugh.now.
But Laritte did the sa after watching him laugh for a while.
Surprised, lan shut his mouth.
But the joy did not last for long. Soon, both of them went silent and held back their laughter.
Ian handed over the branch to Laritte that was holding the fish.
I brought this for you.
No, you dont have to make an excuse.
.Achoo!
Maybe I should have
Imdiately, Laritte took off her furry coat and covered Ians face.
Ian tried to open his mouth to make her be at ease, but his cheeks felt like they were freezing.
The cold breeze poked him harder in the face.
Lets go back quickly. If you catch a cold, you will be sick again.
Ian could not see her face because of the coat.
Laritte held Ians hand, the one that was holding the bucket before, as she led the way to the villa.
Hey, Im.Im all right..
Your teeth are chattering. I shouldnt have allowed you to co in the first place. I am so sorry.
She hurriedly brought him ho and made him sit on the chair in front of the fireplace.
Looking up at him, Laritte continued.
Even if its a good source of food.lets stick to the current nu.
I dont think thats a very good idea.
No, Im afraid I might do sothing wrong. Its my first ti cooking fish. I dont know if it will suit your taste, but.
Ian was also worried because she only ate the sa food for days.
Suddenly, he felt a ticklish feeling in his heart.
He found sothing offensive in her words. They were still addressing each other as you instead of their nas.
Shouldnt it be ti for her to change the title?
Hey.
Ian called Larrite.
Laritte, who was wiping away her tears that she got from laughing, shook her head and motioned to speak.
Yes.
It has been a while since we t. Why dont we call ourselves by our real nas when we are a couple in the first place?
Larittes face, that was just smiling, suddenly hardened.
This kept Ian from finishing his words.
What was that, Ro..
Rose.
Laritte quickly stopped him from trying to spit out the na.
No.
.Pardon?
She stumbled backwards.
It was a natural reaction for her.
She had been desperately trying to avoid that na until now.
Laritte unwittingly stepped back and stepped on the old carpet.
Unfortunately, it was ti for the carpet to do its job.
The carpet tore away, unable to balance Laritte, making her stumble.
Ah!
Are you all right?!
Dont co near !
A shrill cry cut through the air.
Larittes hands were trembling.
Rose, Rose, Rose!
Damn you Rose! Thats all you had to do.
How long are you going to haunt Larittes poor soul!
I will make breakfast.so take a rest.
Laritte stood up but did not make eye contact with him.
He could not understand how the atmosphere changed so montarily.
Im cooking this ti..
Just stay there. Why dont you do it next ti!
Please.
Dont co near .
It was written on her distorted expression.
Ian shouted at Laritte, who was now walking towards the kitchen.
.I will be there when you calm down. We can continue talking again.
But no answer ca back.
Ian, who was left alone, pressed his fingers hard on his forehead.
There was no way to know what mistake he had made.
Doesnt she want to be familiar with , a so-called traitor?
However, he took Larittes expression to make such a conclusion.
Furthermore, she was very calm when they first t each other.
But this was the first ti that he saw fear in her ocean blue eyes.
What is going on?
Ians question troubled his stomach.
Laritte felt the sa way.
Leaning against the wall, Larrite wrapped her arms around her shoulders.
Huhu..
Roses furious face was still deeply rooted in her brain.
What the hell is that girl!!
It was 11 years ago.
When Laritte was eight and Rose was nine.
Rose was sparkling, very different from Laritte.
Laritte was ashad that she couldnt even have a al until she ca to the Counts house.
Rose looked so cute that it seed like she was raised with love.
That was Larittes first appreciation.
She is your half-sister, Rose.
Count Brumayer said, wary of her.
He was aware of the fact that it was his mistake.
Why is that?! I dont like her! Besides, she doesnt even look like any of us!
It was proved that Im her biological father. Dont.
Larrite understood Rose.
She didnt think anyone would want to have a shabby maid
life like she did.
So she tried her best to get close to Rose.
It was a long way from being frad for stealing the necklace and being hated by everyone in the house.
I still rember those days clearly, Rose.
She murmured blankly.
The feeling towards her that Laritte could find in Rose was always negative.
It was always filled with frustration, contempt and hatred.
Laritte suffered from 11 years of harassnt that even made it difficult for her to die.
At that ti, Rose used to be truly happy.
It was the Count who committed extramarital affairs, but people used to look at Laritte as if it was her fault.
Laritte, who was reminiscing about her past, moved towards the kitchen sink. Either way, she had to prepare a al.
But Ian kept getting on her mind.
It was not only Rose but also herself who took the wrong course of action.
Eventually, she turned around after hesitating.
Let him call Rose.
It will be good for us for the ti being.
When she was about to go to the living room, she ran into Ian.
He told he would be coming back after so ti, didnt
he?
Laritte tried to speak.
Youre so early.
Shh.
Ian carefully put his hand over her mouth, glancing towards the gate.
I heard a pair of footsteps.
