I Didn’t Lull You to Sleep Only for You to Be Obsessed With Me - Chapter 14

Chapter 8.1

Seeing that Zenon simply laughed, as if he didn’t know that she, who was timid by nature, would say such a thing, April spoke to him again.

“Let’s break off the engagement, you damn bastard. Did you think I wouldn’t know that you wanted to be engaged to me to use me?”

What a bewildered expression Zenon had at that time!

While he hesitated in embarrassment, April returned to the mansion. She then declared the same to her family.

“Please dispose of me!”

Her family’s reaction was the same as Zenon’s. April showed the middle finger to them, laughing as they were bewildered before leaving the mansion. Looking at their puzzled expressions, the middle finger didn’t seem to be an insult here, but it felt thrilling.

However, apart from the excitement, there was a problem.

‘What am I going to do in the future?’

She had nowhere to go because she was cut off from her family. Not only that, but she also didn’t know anything about this world, so of course, she didn’t know how to make money.

‘I wish I could use April’s ability, but I don’t know how to use it…’

Normally, possessing one’s body could also use the ability of the original body, but since ‘April’ didn’t know how to use magic yet, she couldn’t even guess how to use magic either. Even so, it was almost impossible for her to learn magic anyways since learning magic cost a lot of money and would take a long time. In addition, the major she studied in her previous life was of no use in this world.

At that moment, coffee came into April’s eyes, who was agonizing at the cafe, like fate.

‘This is it…!’

She decided to earn money by using her memories of working part-time at a cafe. She dreamed of having her own little cafe… April decided to make that dream come true here.

After that, she disposed of her accessories and set up her own cafe here in a village in the Suran estate. Even though there were a lot of twists and turns and it wasn’t so easy for her to run her cafe by herself, it was better than waiting for the day she would die quietly in the Capital.

April only knew that she had strayed from the original.

…Until she met Claude today.

Back to the present again.

April unknowingly hugged Asher tightly and stepped back. It was an instinctive response, like herbivores avoiding predators. Fortunately for her, Claude wasn’t offended by the action as it always happened. The escort knights standing behind him also made faces as if they knew that.

She asked again, holding back the urge of wanting to run away right now.

“What is the Duke doing in such a shabby place?”

“I have a business to take care of with the child.”

At that moment, a brown-haired man standing behind him stepped forward and lamented.

“How can you say it like that?”

After daring to scold Claude, he politely bowed toward April.

“I’m Lloyd Hanger, aide of the Duke of Winterville. There’s a child the Winterville family is looking for, and we came after receiving a tip that the child you’re carrying may be that child.”

“Ah…”

She read it in the original novel.

‘Didn’t Claude have a nephew?’

It was clearly mentioned in the novel that Claude had found his long-lost nephew and made him his successor… does that mean Asher was his nephew? Considering that he had the rare silver hair, there was a high possibility.

‘If it’s like that, there’s no way I can stop it.’

April stepped aside and spoke cautiously to Asher.

“Asher, say hello.”

The child, who had never been taught etiquette, lowered his eyes and bowed his head.

“…Hello?”

While Claude only nodded, Lloyd smiled softly.

“Nice to meet you, Young Master. We need to take a test to prove that you are related by blood. Would that be all right?”

Instead of answering herself, April looked at the child. Although she said ‘she’s the temporary guardian,’ she was the third party in this matter. Without his aunt, he had the right to make all the decisions. However, Asher completely froze as he was unfamiliar with this situation.

April whispered, carefully holding his tiny hand.

“Asher, you said you didn’t know her father, right?”

“Yes.”

“Maybe you can meet your father.”

At that point, Claude slightly raised one eyebrow. The expression on his face seemed more bewildered than displeased. April, however, didn’t notice the signs and continued.

“There’s something you need to do to find my father, would you do it?”

Asher hesitated, then nodded his head.

“Yes, I will.”

At the same time as he said that, a man in a wizard’s robe approached them, carrying a glass bottle like a beaker. It was a colorless, odorless liquid. Suddenly, Claude took out the dagger that was worn around his waist and cut his arm.

April screamed and hurriedly covered Asher’s eyes.

Blood dripped from Claude’s swollen arm. The blood that flowed bizarrely clearly fell into the glass bottle. While she was gaping at the shocking sight, he held out his arm to the wizard as if nothing had happened while the wizard treated him like he was used to it.
