Chapter 24

“Why, why are you laughing? Really. You are more handsome than me, I’ve never seen a guy who is more handsome than me . But my Lord, he is on par with me ”

“You are a very interesting person.”

Cesare continued to burst into laughter at something that I said that made him laugh so hard. I’m trying to say something that it’s good. I just wanted to scratch my cheeks a bit. The air in the office became warmer. Cesare raised his voice and called the next complainant.

“Young lord, it’s nice to see you after a long time.”

A new voice was heard. It was a familiar voice. I looked at the complainant slightly through the screen. Oh my God, my enemy…we finally meet on a wooden bridge.

The person who came in this time was Isabelle, who runs an orphanage in the estate. Her son likes me, but he didn’t want to get married. So in the end, when his mother tried to arrange matchmaking for him, he remembered me. After refusing to marry someone I had never spoken to, Isable came to hate me. There was even a time when she pulled my hair out and fought with the rumors that I was a prostitute, who went to see a man every night. She was famous for being the richest person in town, so did she come here?

Isabelle stood in front of Cesare with a skinny child. It must have been one of the children she had at the orphanage. Before Isabelle could say anything, she pulled out her handkerchief and started squeezing the tears in her eyes.

“It’s winter these days, so there’s nothing to eat. It’s hard. Do you know my heart is like this……? The kids are in their prime, so food runs out quickly, but it’s very difficult to find food.”

Cesare replied in a rare dry tone.

“I know that you applied for food last month as well.”

“Kid, I know. I know, it’s been a long time since I’ve run out. look at my son. My son and I are now starving, but poor children without parents do not want to starve, so they are so skinny.”

Cesare had the same expression on his face when I first met him. I feel like a civil servant who had a cumbersome task. As Cesare hesitated, Isabelle narrowed her eyes.

She pushed the boy who claimed to be her son in front of Cesare.

“Please help my mother. My good mother is going to starve to death like this.”

The child acted quite naturally. I’m sure the reason why he was acting like this was because I knew Isabelle didn’t have a son like this. Saying that I would never marry a person I never met before, Isabelle brought her son with her before dawn the next day. His son’s height was about twice as tall as me, but he looked like he had very little muscle in his body. Unlike his son. who was white and chubby, now the boy here was dark and skinny. More so, he was much shorter than his son.
