Chapter 41 - Farewell
Chapter 41 Farewell
“Grandma, will you come again?”
My daughter, Laurier, asked my mother in a feeble, but lonely tone. Today happens to be the day when mother and father returns to their mansion. Sasha is taking care of her while resting in her room, so it’s up to me and Laurier to see them off.
Mother smiled and replied to Laurier, who had a lonely expression, and braced myself for the emotional pain that was to come. .
“Naturally.”
“Yay!”

While it is indeed a lovely sight seeing mother and Laurier getting along, it still leaves a gnawing irritation within me Rather, I don’t like it one bit! Every time she talks to Laurier, she always brags to me about it later! No, I do hope Laurier is happy, but it seems like my mother flirts with Laurier and Sasha just to flaunt on purpose... she’s a rival.
Of course, I don’t intend to fight with mother in front of Laurier and Sasha. Even if it is a joke, I don’t want to show any poor behavior in front of them. I’m going to give Laurier all the support I can, and I’ll protect Sasha with my all as well. She’s a strong girl, and of course, because of me, she knows the dark parts of humanity. She deserves to be happy from now on.
Aside from that....
“Laurier. Say hello to your grandfather.”
Father, whose figure is seen chuckling a bit behind my mother, can’t help from joining in. It’s not like he seems to be lonely, but I can’t help but see mother’s figure overlaying him as he’s doting upon Laurier..
Laurie nodded from my words and looked to father with a smile.
“Please come again, Grandfather.”
“...Why, thank you Laurier.”
It’s somewhat awkward, but it would be normal if there was this much distance Rather, my mother isn anomaly.
I smile at Laurier while pushing such thoughts to the back of my mind, and then begin to talk to mother.
“Mother. Thank you for everything. Please give me help again when Sasha gives birth again..”
“Yeah, even so, I can’t believe the day would come where you would ask for help with Sasha’s childbirth.”
Mother says so with a teasing smile. Yes, indeed, I did invite mother to come here and support Sasha before the birth. I wish I could support Sasha myself, but there is a limit to what I could do, and so I was driven to ask mother for help.
There may be some people who don’t think that giving birth is a big deal, and question whether giving birth if difficult. However, mothers need to be especially mentally supported because it is very hard to give birth.
The only thing a man can do is to watch the time while working, show his face to his wife and take care of his daughter. At that, even though Laurier is troublesome, she is clever and does not want to make others worry. I’ll be shocked if she goes through a rebellious period, so should I not love her now?
“Well, I can’t exactly help Sasha and Laurier on my own in the event of an accident.” (Callis)
“I used to try to do it myself, but it’s changed a lot.” (Callis’ Mother)
“Well, because I have also awakened to true love.” (Callis)
“Oh? I can’t beat my husband’s love.” (Callis’ Mother)
“It’s because love depends on the depth of feelings, not through time.”
Laurier did not notice the hidden battle between mother and I. As we were fighting about the concept of love, Laurier was talking to father with an angelic smile.
