Father asked, his head tilted in suspicion.
Oh. What did he mean by saying I seemed happy?
“Nothing, am I not always like this?”
“…Really?”
I’ll admit that I was thinking about playing a little trick, but there was no harm in it. It was just an adorable desire to see the surprise on the face of a friend. It was just business as usual for me.
Yet, father was always one to give in easily, and he backed down now as I gave him my usual, exaggerated nod.
“Yes!”
“….I see.”
I bounced and nodded with a big smile, but my father’s answer seemed a little weighted.
I wonder what had happened. It was very strange, and I looked at him hard once again, and for some reason, there was a faraway look in his eyes.
“I see. You must have reached that age…”
“…?”
What did he mean by that? Father’s odd behavior was worrying to me, but all I heard were the mysterious words coming from his mouth.
“I’m happy for you, maybe a little jealous of him… No, no, I shouldn’t say such things. Yes.”
“…?”
The true meaning behind the words of the head of the Noir family was too much for even his genius daughter to understand.
But there was something rather unsatisfying about watching father talk to himself like that.
“…Father.”
“She was such a rowdy little, no, she still is. That Christina is… hmm? Did you say something?”
I opened my mouth in anger towards my father for this feeling of unclarity he was giving me.
“You’ve gotten on my nerves now.”
“!?”
Father looked at me with wide-eyed astonishment, but instead of explaining myself, I gave him a graceful courtesy and put on my lady’s face.
“Well then, excuse me, father.”
“Chri-, Christina! Wait a moment. What did you mean just… Christina!?”
I pretended that I could not hear the howling behind my back as I continued on. Like that, I quietly left my father’s study behind me.
Thanks so much for the chapter!
This family is.. a bit concerning.
It’s just the typical sadness a father feels when he realizes his daughter will be leaving him.
Haha… Charles, the MC, and Michelie all in the same place… This’ll be an interesting combination if they can escape the eyes of the adults.
Thanks for the chapter!
And now, Mushuly vs Charles…. commence!!
XD
Thank you for the chapter and your fast updates!
Poor Dad having his daughter NTR-ed by a fuckboi
more like she already got NTR-ed by his adopted daughter a long time ago. And dis fuckboi is just a friend who want to be a rival with Mishuly to get the MC but most probably will fail. cause you know the MC is a sis-con.
Daddy Dearest has no idea what a pain in the butt Mishuli is going to be when she hears of this engagement, does he? He’s probably mainly worried about how Christina will act around Charles, but Christina’s mischievous tomboyishness has nothing on Mishuli’s yandere mode.
