âWhy are you here?â
Didnât you just leave because you hated me and didnât want to see me? Did she already forget about that? I think it was only a few hours ago that you said youâll never see me again.
She probably came back because she heard that her mother-like woman will be executed.
âLet Serira go.â
As expected. His prediction wasnât wrong.
But he felt unsatisfied even when he got it right. He knew that she would come to him. But, the first thing she says is about her nanny, after she ran away from him like that. Without an apology, or pleading for forgiveness.
âWhy should I?â
Why should I forgive that arrogant woman who tried to teach me at the wrong time? Why should I let her go? I did plan to release her, but I donât want to now that sheâs asking for it. Itâs true that she was being arrogant.
âLet her go!â
âWhat if I donât want to?â
âSerira didnât do anything wrong! Are you a 3 years old toddler?! Do you just take out your anger on anyone?! â
âIâm the one who should be mad here. How can she be so impudent? I want to twist that arm and block her mouth. I want to scold her for not realizing her own place.â
âSince when were you so attached to your nanny? Yet you refuse to listen to your own father.â
She was yelling if heâs crazy, and now she requires to let the nanny go. Ria, who was staring at him without saying anything, bites her lips. Tears well up in her big eyes staring at him. She was trying not to cry and tried to hold back tears, but the big eyes eventually overflowed with tears.
âLet Serira go, you jerk! Why are you doing this to me?â
The blood suddenly cools at her cry.
She didnât cry when he scolded her but now she cries so hard.
âI was never trying to make her cry. She doesnât usually cry, so I didnât think sheâd burst into tears like thisâ¦â
â..I wasnât trying to make her cry.â
âEverything was done for you. How can you not know that? Iâm tired of everything now.â
âDo you treasure that woman more than your own father?â
Is she so dear that youâd cry like that?
I knew she cherished that woman. But itâs not very pleasant to confirm that right in front of my eyes. Still, my anger is all gone nowâ¦I wonder if this is a good thing. Hearing her cry finally brought me to my senses.
