Chapter 40

The Fourth Plan. To increase the intimacy between the father and the son. (10)

After riding the sled together, Gellerhard and Carl began to build their memories one by one. In comparison to other babies at his age, Carl was already stronger and a bit bigger. However, just like any other child, he was still full of activity, so the nannies and I would always run out of energy in chasing after Carl. Nevertheless, Carl hadn’t even been a real bite to Gellerhard at all. Gellerhard was strong enough to pick Carl up before releasing him with one hand. Not only that, he was also agile enough to catch Carl who would try to run up whenever he saw something strange and he had been a man with a good amount of stamina who never lost his breath even after playing with Carl for an hour. Gellerhard’s stamina was absolutely amazing. I knew it from our experience in bed, but when I put him next to Carl, I was really impressed. Carl, who had been playing tirelessly for the first time in his life, immediately began to follow after Gellerhard.

“Dad!”

As soon as I told him what to call Gellerhard, Carl started to look for his father as much as possible during the time when he hadn’t been able to call him before.

“Dad is working right now~ So, it’s decided that we will have to play with him a little later.”

“Ugh—”

As if he wanted to play right that instant, Carl shook his head with a disgruntled face. After that, I began to soothe the child.

“Let’s be patient for a little while, our Young Master, huh? Until then, hang out with Mandy instead.”

“Huh! Mandy!”

Even so, am I still the best? I laughed when Carl hugged me. Gellerhard was quite busy, so he couldn’t make time for anything other than the already promised moment. But as soon as he, too, began to give his little son a whole lot of his heart, he spent all of his afternoon with us—right from the promised time until dinner.

After playing with Carl and the other children in the nursery, he became alerted just in time. When I dressed Carl in clothes that were comfortable for his following activities and wrapped him up in thick clothes to avoid him catching a cold, Carl started running around as he realized that it was already time for him to play with his father.

I put on my clothes and went out to meet Gellerhard. Our destination for today was already set earlier as his hound had given birth last week.

“Dad!”

“Carl.”

Carl, who found that Gellerhard was already waiting for us, immediately called out to him and dashed out. Gellerhard casually hugged his son, who had run against him like a bulldozer. Those around Gellerhard were watching the scene with such great satisfaction and as I approached, they greeted me while paying their respect. As Gellerhard and Carl became closer to each other, my stock price started soaring within the Duchy as well.

“Mandy.”

Gellerhard came closer to me and called me by my nickname. He lowered his head and soon kissed my cheek.

“Mandy!”

Carl, who was already in his arms, followed after him and kissed me too. Then, I responded by returning a kiss to the cute Carl’s cheek.

“I can’t do anything in front of the kids. Look at all of them.”

When I said that he was cute while stroking Carl’s ruddy cheeks, Carl smiled broadly even when he had not been aware of what I was saying. After that, Gellerhard began to speak in a hoarse voice.

“I think it would be a good idea to teach the child fairness.”

“How?”

Gellerhard tilted his head in my direction. My eyes eventually met the staring purple eyes. Teaching Carl the idea of fairness? I held my eye contact with him and put on a puzzled expression in return.

“Mandy!”

Carl smiled widely and pursed his lips. Ah, a realization instantly passed through my head. I placed a kiss on Gellerhard’s cheek, who was still looking into my eyes with his head down, before kissing Carl, who had been pursing his lips. Only then did Gellerhard straighten his back. As the three of us moved in unison while leaving the others behind, I softly grumbled at Gellerhard.

“Why don’t you teach your child how to be honest and tell people what they want first?”

“……”

When I compared what Gellerhard had said earlier, Gellerhard went really silent. Carl, who had been in Gellerhard’s arms calmly, suddenly gave a little struggle before he got off and started walking alone.

“What’s wrong?”

“Kiss me.”

Gellerhard eventually said with a sullen face. I thought he was joking, but his expression was serious once again and I became absolutely dumbfounded since it wasn’t a romantic situation at hand. I stared at Gellerhard, but he did not retract anything at all. When we didn’t seem to follow after him, Carl looked back and waved. As I saw the child, it ultimately made my cheeks tinged red with embarrassment.

“What is this man saying right now? We have a child over here.”

“It’s also good to teach children about marital affection.”

Gellerhard’s arm soon wrapped around my waist. Carl approached us as if he was stomping his feet. He appeared to think that we were actually playing.

“That’s just silly.”

I nudged against Gellerhard’s chest. Gellerhard was pushed away with a sullen expression and when I headed towards Carl, he started to turn around once more.

“Do that when it’s just the two of us.”

“My father and mother had kissed even in public places before.”

Gellerhard grumbled, but he still followed suit. It was quite a long time for him to sound that sulky. Nevertheless, wasn’t kissing on the lips in front of a child had been a little bit like that.

“…still.”

Just thinking about it had made my cheeks burned with sheer shame and embarrassment. I glanced at Gellerhard’s face and saw that his face was also flaming red. Looking at Gellerhard’s shyness somehow gave me some strange courage and energy in return.

“Let’s just do it on the bed. You could put your tongue in as well. It’ll be very erotic.”

“What’s that?”

Gellerhard’s purple eyes became completely round. Uh? Wasn’t he aware of that?

“Hmm, that’s good. I’ll let you know about it tonight.”

Gellerhard nodded at my words with a grin. His purple eyes glinted in response before his handsome lips drew into an arc.
