Meanwhile, Silvia looked at Valer and Sanse with proud eyes. Caitelâs eyes were on Sanse, who stood behind Valer. Sanse, who had been restless for a while, was wary of my father. Then the eyes of the two met.
ââ¦!â
Shouldnât Iâor someoneâstop it?
It wasnât like my dad was intimidating or angry, but Sanse quickly began to tear up. I thought he would cry soon. Well, of course, itâs normal for kids to be like that when they looked at Caitel, but this was a bit too much.
âWaaaaahâDaddy!â
At that moment, Sanse let go of the hem of Silviaâs dress from his hand and ran to Ferdel. Ferdel hugged him in his arms as he ran toward him with tears hanging in his eyes. Sanse put his face on Ferdelâs arms and rubbed his tearful face. That was so cute, even for me.
Oh, that murderous cuteness. I guessed thatâs the joy of raising sons.
While I was getting to know the light fun of raising a child, my dad, who was staring at them, suddenly grabbed me.
âTry crying.â
âWhat, you bastard?â
I couldnât believe it. I just couldnât believe this. Oh, this crazy man. Did he feel like he was losing or something because Sanseâs crying in his fatherâs arms? This was so ridiculous!
âUwaaaaaaaghâ¦!â
However, I was the most ridiculous one here. Haha, I had lost my mind because of my father here.
If he told me to cry, I guessed I had to cry for him!
Haa⦠itâs a tough job catering to my insane fatherâs whims all the time.
However, I guessed this pretense of crying did not seem to be what Caitel wanted. He looked down at me with a displeased look on his face.
W-what is it?!
I immediately stopped crying.
He was the one who made me do this! He shouldnât complain! However, why was I doing this, anyway? Well, I supposed I was to blame too since I gave inâ¦aaaah! I suddenly felt so humiliated now that I realized what I just did! It felt likeâ¦justâ¦I wished I could crawl away and hide somewhere!
âLook at here, everyone! Arenât my sons so adorable? They never seem to listen, and I, for one, have no clue where they get that from, but I canât help but forgive them when they come running up to me, shouting daddy, even after all the trouble theyâve caused!â
I guessed Ferdel still hadnât learned how to read the mood.
