I Became the Childhood Friend of the Northern Duchess - Chapter 272



272 – Side Story – The Girl’s Curiosity (1)

Recently, a question arose for Serena that she couldn’t solve on her own.

It was too early a concern for an eleven-year-old girl to have.

At first, I wondered who I should ask this question to get a proper answer, but fortunately, the answer came quickly.

“Dad!”

Today again, a bright smile appeared on Serena’s lips as she opened the door to her office.

Because nothing was more enjoyable to her than the fact that she saw her father.

“Hmm? What’s going on, my daughter?”

“Serena, you should come in with your message.”

From noble mtl dot come

Edgar’s gentle answer was followed by Ariel’s admonition.

In fact, Ariel did not include her message because she thought she wouldn’t be there, but somehow she ended up providing an opportunity for her to be scolded.

Anyway, since it was wrong to behave rudely, Serena bowed down and admitted her mistake.

“Oh, sorry. Mom…”

“It’s enough to reflect. What could it be?”

Ariel tilted her head, quoting a question from her former husband.

That’s because it’s rare for Serena to come into her office at such a late hour.

She usually comes to announce that she has returned from the academy, but other than that, she tends to refrain from coming alone as much as possible so as not to disturb her parents.

In other words, it is highly likely that she came to her office with both feet because she had some kind of business to do.

“I want to ask you something.”

“Okay? “It’s a big deal.”

Ariel expressed her curiosity as if the answer that followed was even more unpredictable.

If Evan is the type of person who can’t hold back his curiosity and asks questions straight away, Serena is the opposite.

She searches through her books as best as she can, and if she can’t figure it out, she comes rushing into the arms of Edgar or Ariel.

Moreover, since she inherited Ariel’s brain and is brighter than her peers, there are not many challenges that can bother her for a long time.

This means that most of the questions end with her line before even asking her two people.

How could she come to her parents, who were watching her in the midst of their affairs, and ask them questions?

Ariel, already feeling her curiosity, left her husband’s side her and slowly approached her daughter her.

“Shuri, prepare some tea. Snacks for Serena too.”

“Yes. Please wait a moment.”

While talking to Shuri, who was standing next to her, she made sure to bring something to drink and something to chew.

After finishing the paperwork he was in charge of following her, Edgar also stood up and approached the two people.

“What is my daughter curious about?”

“He’s not talking yet. “I guess I’m only going to ask you.”

Ariel, who was now quite accustomed to being called ‘you’ instead of ‘you’, opened her mouth in a somewhat grumpy tone.

As if to say, ‘Even though mom is there, she’ll only tell dad, right?’

At this, Serena shook her legs calmly, but then she got started and jumped up from her seat.

The reason she said “Dad” Earlier was because she thought only Edgar would be there, and she planned to ask both of them if possible.

“Oh, no! “I tried to ask both her dad and her mom.”

“Really?”

“Oh, is it such a profound question?”

Edgar also smiled as if it was fun and sat down next to Serena.

Serena, who was suddenly caught in the middle of her, looked up at the two people in turn and blinked her eyes blankly.

“Mom.”

“Huh?”

She thought she would speak to her husband first, but surprisingly, Ariel’s eyes widened when her gaze turned toward her.

“Mom, how did you fall in love with Dad?”

“Love, love?”

“Yes, love.”

Ariel’s poker face suddenly collapsed at the sudden question.

She asked again, wondering if she hearing her she was wrong, but her answer her she was firm.

“Well, that’s it… ?”

Edgar was busy giggling as he looked at Ariel, who was struggling to find her answer.

Recently, it was difficult to see her embarrassed as she had become accustomed to his pranks of her, but for the first time in a while, we were able to see this rare scene thanks to Serena’s innocence of her.

So what does he have to do?

I boarded this stream and gently pricked my wife’s shy face after seeing her for the first time in a while.

“What are you doing? “Her daughter is asking a serious question, so I have to answer sincerely.”

“All of you! They’re doing it on purpose… !”

“What am I?”

Edgar shrugs as if he really doesn’t know, but there’s no way her wife and childhood friend who has been with her for over 30 years wo n’t recognize that it’s her acting.

But what would you do if you found out?

There’s no way to counterattack right now.

It is an urgent matter for her to give an answer to her lovely daughter, who looks up at her with her upright eyes that do not reveal a single trace of her dark heart.

“Eww…”

In the end, she was about to get up from her seat and had no choice but to vent her anger and find an answer to Serena.

“How… Wow, that’s a difficult thing to say. “Is there an answer my daughter wants?”

“No. There is no such thing. Only…”

“Just?”

This time, the Robeheims’ heads tilted to the side at the same time.

“As I look at Evan and Allen, I wonder what she loves her is.”

“Ah…”

“Well, kids can be curious.”

A low exclamation came from Ariel’s mouth to her, and Edgar nodded as if she understood.

Everyone knows that Evan fell in love with Claire at a young age and has maintained his feelings for her for over three years.

In addition, a rumor spread that she saw Allen confessing to Sonia not long ago.

As such a scene unfolded around her, Serena, who was still young, must have been curious.

The only person Serena liked and respected until now was her father her, Edgar, and besides him, she did not even have a friend of the same age who paid attention to her.

Love as a family towards her father, mother, younger brother, etc. And love towards the opposite s*x.

Edgar carefully guessed that the difference might not have been apparent yet.

“Well. “I think it would be difficult for her to pinpoint the reason why her mother her her her, at least, loved her her father her her her.”

“Why?”

“You may not know Serena yet, but just because she has her own mind, she does not mean she knows everything.”

Ariel continued her story while gently stroking her daughter’s head.

“But if I had to tell you the reason… Maybe it’s because she was next to me the whole time.”

“You said her mom and her dad were originally friends?”

“That’s right. At first, she held her hand as much as she wanted, and she even hugged her. Rather, it was possible because she was still at an age where she did not know her love her.”

It was quite a confusing answer for Serena.

Because when she was young, her father told her that he liked such behavior and that it was only for those he loved.

But she was able to act like that because she was at an age where she didn’t know love.

At least from what she knew, it was a paradoxical phrase.

Why was it possible because she didn’t know love?

Maybe there is an answer to her questions in that gap.

The intuition of a young girl was telling me that.

Serena was lost in her thoughts with her hand on her chin and her lips poking out.

Edgar, who was looking at this, smiled slightly and patted the arm of his wife who was sitting across from her.

“Ariel.”

“Why?”

“At times like this, isn’t there something I should tell her daughter?”

“A story… “What?”

Her eyes fluttered as she could not guess what Edgar meant by her words.

It’s as if he knows the advice he should give to Serena now.

“What you told me.”

“What I told you… ? Ah.”

Ariel had an expression on her face that told her so many stories that she couldn’t make sense of it.

However, she soon realized the meaning and opened her mouth blankly.

It was like that.

If you think about it, ever since she kept these siblings in her arms, she has been wondering when she would be able to tell them this story.

Since time passed so quickly, it seems that I was naturally forgotten in the flow.

“Well, there was that.”

“At that moment, the moon and stars were shining brightly outside. “Why don’t you come?”

“And you?”

“Sometimes there are stories that only a mother and daughter can tell.”

Edgar smiled brightly as he lifted his teacup.

Ariel nodded her head slightly and gently pulled Serena’s hand her her her her.

“Serina.”

“Yes, Mom.”

“Should we go for a walk outside for a moment?”

“Now?”

It was quite late so Serena tilted her head.

“Okay. Let’s take our coats and go for a while.”

“Yes! Then I’ll go to my room and come back!”

Since she did not particularly dislike it, Serena got up from her seat and quickly ran to her room.

“Now that I think about it, wasn’t it something I had to tell to only two people in my life?”

“Wouldn’t it be okay to have twins soon?”

“That’s a great answer.”

When Ariel brushed it off with her characteristic shamelessness, Edgar continued to applaud, saying that was true.

It is said that this is the first time two children have been born from the bloodline she inherited, so we can make an exception.

Because Evan and Serena were such miraculous beings.

“When will the day come when Serena finds the answer?”

“I don’t know. “Now you and I are in a position to wait.”

“Don’t you hate waiting?”

“I know. “I never thought a day like this would come.”

Ariel responded with a smile on her face and stood up.

She hated waiting so much.

It wasn’t just that she was late for her appointment, but also when she realized she had feelings for a man.

While she was waiting for him to come, she hated waiting, so she wanted to get a little closer first.

But for some reason, I thought this wait would be quite enjoyable.

An eleven-year-old girl becomes a full-fledged adult, and there is someone she wants to share the story told to her by her mother.

How would you feel if such a day came?

“Mom! “I brought clothes!”

“Okay? Then shall we go?”

When Serena returned to her office and proudly showed off her thick coat over her clothes, Ariel gave her husband a deep look and took her steps.

Edgar, who sat on her sofa watching the backs of her mother and daughter walking away, just tilted his teacup in silence.
