*The evening of the day Coral and Calypse left the mansion.
After checking his fatherâs condition to Momont, Kai headed to the West annex.
â Whatâs happen? â
Macaronâs voice was as sweet as usual. That fact made it difficult for Kai to speak.
Nevertheless, Kai couldnât change the conclusion he came up with throughout the day.
â Dad, that person canât. â
â That person? â
Macaron narrowed his eyebrows as if suddenly what he meant.
â As a stepmother⦠⦠That person canât. â
At the moment, Macaronâs face was noticeably hardened. But it wasnât visible to Kaiâs eyes with his head down.
â I am⦠⦠I donât have to have a mother. â
Only after a long silence, Kai sensed a strange atmosphere and slowly raised his head.
â You said it would be nice if you had a mother. â
Macaronâs marriage was to eliminate the crown princeâs selection, but Kai also played a big part. Before deciding to contract marriage, Macaron seriously considered whether Kai could accept it.
â A sudden stepmother to Kai, who is young, is likely to be confused. Should I endure that and even a contract marriage? â
In fact, it was far more fatal to have a ridiculous prince that to have a princess. But that wasnât what forced him to marry. Under imperial law, in order to enlist Kai into the family, officially there had to be a crown princess. So he was thinking that he should get married someday. By the way⦠That was a problem that could only be considered after Kai was adult.
â I wish I had a mother. â
At Kaiâs word, Macaron no longer needs to worry. The contract proceeded in a flash, and he thought Kai would like it at first.
â Because he was so tired that he needed a mother too. â
That didnât mean that I was expecting to be a mother to the one-year contract partner. I canât do anything like that. He was worried if Kai would feel the disappointment after the divorce. Although it was a contract mother, I thought that I had to understand the problem step by step as I live.
â By the way, when you say you need a mother like that⦠You said your mind changed in that short time, why? â
Kai wasnât the kid who would be whimsical for no reason. However, Macaron was a person who had a clear line between âdoingâ and ânot doingâ. It was a foolâs thing to recklessly overturn, he thought.
â Itâs already been decided. â
Was this so sad? Kai was as if he would crying at any moment.
â You didnât say she was Coralâs mother. You canât do Coralâs mom. â
Macaronâs feeling of seeing it were also bad. In addition, a question arose.
â Coral, whatâs your relationship with that kid, and she canât? â
â Thatâs⦠⦠â
Kai repeatedly said that she was a child attending the academy.
â Is it a bad relationship? No. Rather⦠â¦Â â
Anyway, it was impossible to come now.
â Itâs already over. â
Even if it was just a contract marriage, it wasnât a matter of flipping the palm of your hand in a word from Kai. Rather, Macaron, he would have heard of the problem if it was only his own. But as long as the contract had already ended, marriage was now a serious matter for her and her daughter. Kai went away with his shoulder drooping with a lost expression.
*Even after Kai left, the smacked cube was twisted more complicatedly.
Macaron, lying down on a chair, pulled a fluttering string.
â I know why Kai is doing that. â
Momont procrastinated for a while without going outside.
â Your Majesty, isnât it the first time youâve been opposed to that extent? â
â So? â
Momont, who has been watching Kai, knows Kaiâs sex better than anyone else. Perharps, the child who resembles the master most. Somehow, Momont felt like it was the night before the storm.
â To reconsider the marriage⦠⦠â
â Itâs already over. â
Momont, who noticed for a moment in his younger eyes, regained courage to go out. It was the fate of the boss, but giving up as this was because the loyalty as a subordinate did not tolerate it.
â Even now, looking for another partner⦠⦠â
However, Momont was forced to shut up immediately.
â Who said it was impossible to find a better deal partner? â
Of course, the better conditions here were the worst conditions.
â Sorry. I had a short thought. â
â Letâs not go over this issue again. â
Even today, Momont disappeared outside as if running away.
