The Villainess Will Leave Without Any Regrets

It was common for him to disappear even after taking a nap, so the now accustomed maids would find Abella when Simon disappeared.

It was the same today. With his drowsiness-filled eyes, Abella laughed as he dangled with the office doorknob.

“How did you get here again?” Abella smiled lightly and lifted the child up.

Soon, the maids would come to pick up the child.

“Simon is here to see Auntie!”

Abella smiled at the baby’s bright voice. As a sign of fierce battle, Simon’s white knee cloth was colored black.

The mansion was divided around the central staircase. The east side was a living space and the west side was a work space for business.

So, he had been walking a long distance with all his abilities. Simon’s efforts of not hesitating to do such hard work every time, was nothing but cute.

Abella pressed her lips to Simon’s cheek.

“Is that so? Auntie also missed Simon!”

“Really~?”

“Yes! Really!”

The child laughed like a flower. Simon was really a special kid. He was also the only one that Abella, who had no one she could trust, could lean on. Abella leaned her head against Simons’ neck.

“Simon.”

“Huh?”

“Will Simon protect Aunt?”

“Yes!”

“Then auntie will protect Simon.”

“Wow! I like auntie! Auntie is my favorite!”

There were no strings attached for a child’s affection. It was given unconditionally without any measure. That had been a great comfort to Abella for now. Abella hugged Simon and nodded her head.

“Auntie also likes Simon.”

How could she hate this warm child who was increasingly resembling Carlo?

This child showed his affection every time he saw Abella. Abella took a deep breath..

Her complicated mind seemed to have cleared up. When she was with Simon, her fears would disappear as well. It still did.

She was no longer afraid of her past nor the ugly truths spreading about Abella.

To protect Simon, she had to wash away the dark spots of Amerigo clean.

If she were to pass on the solid surname of Amerigo to Simon.

“Simon tells Auntie…”

“Huh?”

“I have something to give… that Auntie likes!”

Simon wriggled and uncurled his fist. Melted chocolate lay in his little hand.

Simon gave out a chocolate that had been so melted that the shape could not be recognized.

“It’s broken! It’s delicious though, Auntie!”

Abella burst into laughter. How could she reject the child’s affection? Abella put the melted chocolate in her mouth.

The sweet taste spread like comfort. Abella’s favorite chocolate……

Indeed, Simon looked just like Carlo.

“Abella…….”

Lorelia appeared behind the door. She had a stiff face, as if she had come directly to find Simons.

“Mother.”

She had a face that was really hard to see even though they lived in the same house.

An awkward atmosphere flowed between the two.

*

Amerigo’s Grand Madam, Lorelia’s mouth was dry. Even though she was eating, she was so nervous that she couldn’t taste what she was eating.

Abella and Simon, and even a young man named Enoch.

Lorelia’s nerves were on the brink because of stories circulating in the gossip magazines these days.

It was speculative gossip that Abella might have been associated with Emperor Cade as well as Arsene.

Somehow, there was a nice story that said it seemed Emperor Cade really hated Abella.

Anyway, it was a third-class magazine that was sold for fun, so people read it. However, those stories would go up and down for a while.

However, Lorelia knew it wasn’t that feeling that Emperor Cade had for Abella.

Her throat was sore.

Nevertheless, because of her anxiety, she couldn’t speak about Emperor Cade to Abella.

‘What if Abella’s memory returns after saying something wrong?’

There was no place for that. When she first learned that Abella had lost her memory, Lorelia was relieved.

The day Abella left, a boy with red eyes visited Lorelia and left behind an afterimage.

Lorelia hid her trembling hands under the table.

The boy knew everything.

Laurelia’s denial, anxiety, injustice and compassion, her last sense of inferiority that made her dirty.

‘Don’t forget that someone remembers it, Madam.’

The polite but cool voice strangled Lorelia.

She doesn’t know how he got to know Lorelia’s secret, but…

“…Be careful of your behavior, Abella.”
