Chapter 9 - I’M Looking For Clues To This Misunderstanding
Sierra, who noticed that godmother had been silent for a while, soon stiffened like a deer in front of headlights.
Does she hate me enough to go silent? Well, she did pay me five years ago, and I ended up coming back
I was afraid and hoped the godmother doesnt hate Hanael as well.
She clutched Sierras hand and said.
Youre finally here, Sierra.
Sierra faltered when she saw her teary eyes.
Thats weird?
Sierra glanced at her. However, the godmother was steadfast and serious.
I was a little scared when I saw her mouth closed and her stubborn eyes.
Madam, what do you mean
Of course, the godmother was thinking differently.
That day, when she recalled Sierras eyes, one corner of her heart felt too heavy.
She was thinner now than the Sierra five years ago. Shes become more vulnerable and can disappear at any moment. The godmother clenched her fist quietly.
Its just as I said. Ive been waiting for you.
The godmothers voice crept out. Sierra looked at her one more time in embarrassment. Her eyes proved she didnt understand the situation.
The godmother breathed a long sigh.
I dont know how Ill pay for my bad karma
Looking at Sierras trembling shoulders, she looked thinner than before. The godmother gave a long sigh and grabbed Sierras hand tightly.
Long time no see, marchioness. Im sorry, we meet again.
Whats there for you to be sorry for?
Y You gave me the money back then, but I stand right in front of you again
No, Sierra.
The godmothers face distorted when she saw Sierras warmhearted expression. She had to pay for her past sins.
How long has she been waiting to be kind to Sierra?!
Yes, I did something terrible to you.
?
Of course, Sierra didnt understand her remorseful feelings.
The godmother handed her money, and Sierra received it. In her eyes, it was just that.
Has she weakened a lot over the years?
Her gray hair became more grayish, and she opened her mouth in a quiet tone.
When you left, Cassius became Ive regretted it for five years. Now that Ive met you again, I want to be more kind.
What?
This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com
Thats when I separated you from Cassius
Ah You did?
Yes, asking you to leave Cassius was the most regrettable mistake Ive made in my entire life.
I see? Why?
A moments misjudgment led to my nephew, Cassius, being ruined for more than five years
No, that was enough to ruin him?
Seeing how Cassius used to look fuller, but now his face shows he has lost weight, proved this was a bit serious. I didnt know it was that bad.
There is darkness in my family. It hurt my heart I regretted it.
When she saw her, Sierra realized.
What This is definitely strange.
Its been very tough, child.
I lived well. I was very happy you gave me that money.
The godmothers eyes shook.
Dont say that. A pure child like you
?
Youre trying to tell me to not feel guilty, right? You said that five years ago
Thats not what I meant.
Though the godmother already mistook her as an overly pure child.
Well, how should I deal with this?
While Sierra was pondering, the godmother seemed to have already confirmed everything.
Ha What on earth did I do to you back then
Im sorry, but you seem to be creating dark history, madam
However, she clasped Sierras hands even harder without any refutation.
Sierra, thank you for coming back. Ill take good care of you and your child.
Well, things are definitely going crazy.
Sierra thought seriously.
Thank you for your words, madam. Ill only be here for three months. Im leaving after Hanaels paternity test.
The godmothers eyes turned red. She looked upright and cold-blooded, but her heart was weak.
Yes, Yes. Of course, you want to leave. Youve had a hard time, and you feel damaged
Oh
This person looks like a stubborn wall.
Shes similar to Cassius.
Sierra is now beginning to look deeper into the situation.
In three months, the paternity test results will be revealed, and this misunderstanding will come to an end. So, I can politely prove them wrong.
Oh, I didnt suffer much, but Im grateful for your kind deeds
Sierra decided to lay an iron plate. For now, she emphasized several times that Hanael was not Cassius daughter. It was the people in this family who did not believe her. She is innocent.
Sierra thought of a great quote.
If you cant avoid it, enjoy it!
However, it may be impossible to just enjoy this recklessly.
Cassius and the Marchioness of Mails, their scales were beyond Sierras imagination!
***
A week has passed.
And during that time, we faced an era of cataclysmic change.
Cassius acquired all the toy-selling companies for Hanael, just as he did for Sierra. Sierra felt like she was watching a happy ending in a romance novel sold out to the world. The problem is that she is not the main character of the romance novel.
In addition, Cassius said he still lacks a lot. Its all too much for Sierra The more he does this, the more anxious she becomes.
Cassius, are you serious?
Cassius consistently asked Sierra out on a date. He ignored her rejections and was bombarding her with gifts. As if to comfort the wounded Sierra with gifts.
And all his attention made Sierra feel unintentionally fraudulent. Feeling burdened, she closed the door and continued to study medicine in her room, asking for her friends addresses.
Sierras actions started a butterfly effect
Well, it seems Miss Sierra isnt accepting courtship.
Oh, dear
Shes returning to where she came from!
Its caused a tremendous stir in the dukes mansion. Even the words of his servants were heard by Sierra. It was thanks to Hanael, who ran around the dukes mansion like it was her own home.
Its rumored that my mom hates the weird man!
I dont hate
You dont hate that strange man? Even though he left us behind?
That strange man is just strangely delusional
Sierra decided to put up with it for now, although it was a bit unsettling. It was a very comfortable misunderstanding for Sierra. Besides, I signed the contract so that we would have no disadvantage!
Of course, even though it had only been a week, the mansion was rearranged around Sierra.
Not only Cassius, but also the godmother who is in charge of the dukes estate was as dramatic as Cassius.
I guess the godmother didnt lie when she said she regretted things for five years. I dont understand why she would, but
Sierra was dragged into tea time with the godmother again today. She tried to find Sierras favorite tea by helping her taste various different teas. Teas that exceeded her monthly salary were randomly placed on the table per leaf.
Youre too precious to me
I love it.
Sierra had a big appetite. She could eat anything well.
Yes, dont worry, Ill help you with whatever you want. Is there anything else you want to do?
Its nice to have a strong supporter.
If you hold a tea party, Id like to be your chaperone.
The godmother sighed low, placing her hand near her heart. Sierra shook her head. Thats too much! Thats too much!
Chaperone? Im a commoner, so I cant make my debut
Commoner?
Her eyes became very fierce.
Who dares to look down on you?
What?
If someone refers to you as a commoner, you must tell me.
No, this world was a noble-centered society.
Although Sierras older sister is a greater archmage than most nobles people dont know that. Sierra had the godmothers attention and replied awkwardly.
I-Its fine. Nothing special happened. Oh, Id like to ask you a favor.
Cassius was very anxious that Sierra would run away. Perhaps thats why he seemed to want to prevent Sierra from seeing others.
Im telling you, its like hes building a beautiful cage
Of course, Sierra didnt want to do anything to provoke the already sensitive Cassius.
Im looking for a friend, Lina, who graduated from the Academy of Medicine Its been five years and I cant find where she is.
Ah, your friend
The godmother had a heartbreaking look on her face.
You left this capital because of me, and you havent been able to contact your friends for five years
Ive already told you, its not your fault I left the capital.
Yes, yes.
Seeing her eyes moisten, she didnt seem to believe Sierras words at all.
Sierra decided to leave. They wont listen to me anyway. Ill just let them misunderstand!
I wonder what exactly happened over the past five years, though especially, I wonder how the marchioness, a noble, turned out like this
Sierra recalled Lina, a friend from the Academy of Medicine who was called the capitals source of information. Lina may have a clue about this incident.
The godmother had a keen observation with her eyes. She continued once again.
Your friend Lina from the Academy of Medicine. Ill start looking immediately. Ill invite her to this estate, and we can have a chat.
It was Sierras first request, which made her nervous no matter what she asked her.
The godmother was almost sixty years old but swore to complete her mission well. Sierra was a little embarrassed to see her like that, but
For now, I decided to endure this situation for three months and enjoy it.
***
Meanwhile, there was a strange rumor circulating in society.
There is a woman staying at Duke Idios estate. But shes a witch. This witch uses magic to charm the godmother and Cassius, and shes doing whatever she wants. This witch is very charming
Crazy.
Andante, the wife of Marquis Mails and the godmothers daughter-in-law, frowned when she heard the rumors of a low-class society.
