KTS 80

“Whew.”

Georgina, leaning back in the passenger seat of the car, let out a long sigh. Charlotte, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, glanced at her, checked that she had fastened her seat belt, and then started the car.

“I really had a great time today, didn’t you?”

As soon as they were alone, Georgina started talking excitedly. Charlotte mumbled, “Yeah, well…” but of course, she didn’t pay attention and started talking to herself.

“I’ve never seen such a cute child. And my goodness, she’s only three years old, but she’s so smart! I’m completely in love with her.”

“Really.”

Charlotte agreed with her for the first time. There was even a faint smile on her lips. Georgina was excited and shook her shoulders while sitting down, dancing with sparkling eyes.

“I’m glad we came together, right? Let’s come together again next time, Charlotte. Angie and Yu-jin both said it was okay, right?”

“That’s a bit…”

Charlotte trailed off, looking embarrassed. But Georgina didn’t pretend to hear her this time either and continued to speak.

“Charlotte, but Yu-jin, he’s really pretty, isn’t he? I was so surprised. I’ve heard things about Yu-jin, but I haven’t heard that he’s that pretty. And he’s not just pretty, but there’s an atmosphere, I couldn’t help but stare blankly. Even though Yu-jin is an omega, he’s a man, so it’s only this much, but if he were a woman, it would have been really amazing, don’t you think?”

Sighing and covering one cheek, Georgina muttered to herself.

“I thought he was the tragic hero in a classic novel. Like Werther or Ophelia? Oh, why didn’t everyone tell me about him sooner?”

Charlotte reluctantly replied to her, who was imagining whatever she wanted.

“It probably wasn’t the atmosphere to talk about that…”

“Good, this is one step closer.”

Georgina nodded with strength, regardless of the fading voice without confidence. Charlotte was startled and momentarily took her eyes off the front before looking ahead again.

“To what?”

Georgina confidently answered Charlotte’s question.”Don’t you wonder what happened in this mansion?”

“Pardon?”

Charlotte asked, surprised once again. Georgina raised her chin and gave a haughty smile at the sound of her voice, which was two octaves higher than usual.

“Everyone’s being hush-hush about it. Charlotte, you don’t know the details either, do you? I’m really curious about what happened between Yu-jin, Grandfather, and Winston. Shouldn’t we find out?”

“Well…”

Charlotte reluctantly opened her mouth.

“Georgina, you’ve probably guessed, haven’t you? It’s embarrassing to say, but… Yu-jin was kind of… involved with your father and Winston.”

Georgina directly pointed out Charlotte’s continued use of pronouns, unable to say it directly.

“So you’re saying Grandfather and Winston both slept with Yu-jin, right?”

“G-Georgina!”

Seeing Charlotte scream in surprise, Georgina put on a serious face for the first time.

“That’s what’s strange. I thought so when I saw Yu-jin’s face, but after spending time with him today, I’m even more convinced. There must have been a serious misunderstanding.”

Charlotte anxiously looked back and forth between the front and Georgina’s face. Georgina continued to stroke her chin with a serious expression and continued.

“Think about it, Yu-jin is one of the most handsome omegas. But with a decrepit old grandfather? Doesn’t that seem strange?”

“There are many young people who have relationships with rich old men.”

“That’s true, but…”

Georgina continued, still with a serious face, at Charlotte’s cautious remark.

“Of course, considering the wealth of the Campbell family, he could have been in a relationship with Grandfather. But there’s Winston.”

She seriously laid out her speculation.

“Winston is the same age, young, handsome, capable, and the heir to the family, so if Yu-jin had just waited a little longer, he could have had the entire Campbell family. But I don’t understand why he would do that with both Winston and Grandfather.”

“There are people like that in the world.”

“If that really happened, I’d bet Grandfather forced him to do it.”

“Georgina!”

At Georgina’s firm words, Charlotte quickly shouted to stop her and denied it with a displeased face.

“There are many people who don’t care if they’re old as long as they have money, and maybe Yu-jin is more promiscuous than he looks. What does it matter? It’s all in the past. Your father is already gone. Don’t get too involved, it’s an adult’s business.”

Georgina stared at Charlotte’s profile for a moment before fixing her gaze back on the front. Charlotte let out an uneasy sigh at her reaction, which had been so talkative until now but had now fallen silent. She’s a curious child, so she won’t stop at this. She’ll definitely keep digging into the family’s affairs. Until she gets her way.

But what can I do about it?

Charlotte silently continued driving. Just like before, I don’t know anything and I didn’t see anything.

Georgina stared out the window in silence. She understood the meaning of Charlotte’s words. It meant not to make a fuss by digging around unnecessarily. Of course, Georgina wasn’t one to obediently agree to that.

I can’t miss out on something this interesting.

Georgina felt her heart flutter after a long time and reaffirmed her resolve.

I’ll find out what the adults are hiding, no matter what.

“Haaah…”

Yu-jin collapsed on the sofa, completely exhausted. He felt like a train had run over him. No, maybe it was a truck. It didn’t matter. What was certain was that he was completely worn out. Only Angela was still full of energy.

“Today was so much fun!”

Angela shouted, jumping up and down in place. Her face was flushed red, unable to hide her excitement, and she continued to speak.

“Georgina is so much fun! We’re going to be best friends, I can tell! Daddy, Georgina said she’d invite me to her room next time. Georgina has a teddy bear that she’s slept with for over 10 years. She said she’d introduce me to it too. Daddy, Daddy.”

Angela shook Yu-jin’s arm and whined, but Yu-jin had no energy left. Only a teenager could handle the child’s energy. But seeing the child so happy and excited, Yu-jin couldn’t help but smile.

“Was it that much fun?”

He asked, stroking the child’s head, and Angela nodded vigorously.

“Daddy, I want to write an invitation right now. Can I? Huh?”

“Of course, you can.”

Yu-jin forced his tired body up from the sofa.

“Let’s ask Cain if there’s any pretty stationery. Or should we go buy some tomorrow?”

“Uh…”

The child, who had been so excited, paused. Seeing the shadow quickly fall over Angela’s face, Yu-jin hurriedly said.

“Daddy wants to get some fresh air after a long time. Let’s go out together, okay?”

“Okay…”

Angela still didn’t seem too keen. She was probably worried that Yu-jin couldn’t ride in a car.

No, I have to overcome this quickly.

Yu-jin whipped himself up and renewed his resolve. If I can’t ride in a car, I’ll never be able to run away. I need to get used to it quickly. Let’s start by going to buy stationery tomorrow.

Just as he thought that, Cain, who had just entered, opened his mouth.

“Excuse me. We have stationery with the family crest on it. Would you like to use that?”

Yu-jin was surprised and looked at him at the polite words. Angela also looked up with wide eyes, and the Butler continued in a businesslike voice.

“It’s paper used when sending invitations or similar documents. Would you like to use that? Of course, with an envelope with the crest on it.”

“Yes!”

Angela shouted, her face brightening. Watching his daughter spin around the room in excitement, Yu-jin let out a sigh of relief.
