“Why are you here?”
Didn’t you just leave because you hated me and didn’t want to see me? Did she already forget about that? I think it was only a few hours ago that you said you’ll never see me again.
She probably came back because she heard that her mother-like woman will be executed.
“Let Serira go.”
As expected. His prediction wasn’t 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.
“Why should I?”
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 don’t want to now that she’s asking for it. It’s true that she was being arrogant.
“Let her go!”
“What if I don’t want to?”
“Serira didn’t do anything wrong! Are you a 3 years old toddler?! Do you just take out your anger on anyone?! ”
‘I’m 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.’
“Since when were you so attached to your nanny? Yet you refuse to listen to your own father.”
She was yelling if he’s 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.
“Let Serira go, you jerk! Why are you doing this to me?”
The blood suddenly cools at her cry.
She didn’t cry when he scolded her but now she cries so hard.
‘I was never trying to make her cry. She doesn’t usually cry, so I didn’t think she’d burst into tears like this…’
‘..I wasn’t trying to make her cry.’
‘Everything was done for you. How can you not know that? I’m tired of everything now.’
“Do you treasure that woman more than your own father?”
Is she so dear that you’d cry like that?
I knew she cherished that woman. But it’s not very pleasant to confirm that right in front of my eyes. Still, my anger is all gone now…I wonder if this is a good thing. Hearing her cry finally brought me to my senses.
