    Chapter 8


    2 . Mrs . Barnes and Mildred - 3


    "Mil . "


    After the meal, we were shown to the drawing room . When the servants came in and gave each of the guests the drink they wanted, Gary went towards me .


    I was talking with Sandra and I heard the Barnes'' harvest was good this year . I eagerly stammered in Mildred''s memory, on the other hand, Sandra seemed to be uninterested in the topic .


    In my memory, the Barnes'' produces thin wheat or corn . And wheat and corn look totally different, this woman .


    (CL: I don''t know what she meant in the next paragraph . Maybe she''s cursing Mildred in her memory haha . )


    I blew my middle finger at Mildred and turned to Gary, who hade a moment ago . He was holding a drink . I was thinking about drinking, but I didn''t because I did not know if Mildred would get drunk or I''d get drunk .


    "I think you''ve be close to Sir Walford . "


    At Gary''s words my eyes naturally turned to Daniel . He was talking to other men . Standing next to the firece at a tall height, he was easy to find .


    "Somehow . "


    I answered lightly . If you say you know each other, you can say yes, but if you''re close, you don''t really know how close . But Gary didn''t seem like he got what I mean . He looked at Sandra and told me again .


    "I don''t know if it''s worth it, but I don''t want you to get too close with him . "


    What the hell are you talking about? I looked at Gary in amazement . Do you know if Daniel''s a psychopath or something?1


    My eyes turned on Daniel again .


    I couldn''t see what kind of face he was making because he''s got his back turned back from me . But I could see the man across from him saying something passionately .


    "Why? Is he a monster that eats people?"


    I was half joking . Well, it''s a long story, and there is a possibility that such monster exist . But I don''t think the monster that eats people is wearing the shell of a handsome man like that . 1


    Sandra and Gary looked at each other running into something they shouldn''t . When I tried to get annoyed, Sandra quickly said,


    "He who hates him always goes through bad things . "


    Huh? I looked at Sandra, making a crease on my brows . What the hell are you talking about? Are you going through something bad?


    "You mean Baron Walford''s picking on someone he doesn''t like?"


    "He''s not bothering me . "


    Gary folded his arms in a way that made him look awkward, they were not folded well, so he forced himself to put his other hand inside his other arm and continued .


    "Come on, what should I say? I can only say I''m going through bad things . "


    "Is that because of Baron Walford?"


    Once again, the eyes of Gary and Sandra met . What? Both of them . . . As soon as I thought about it, I realized that Mildred had the same idea before .


    People seemed to think the same no matter the ce .


    Augh unknowingly came out . Sandra said as I form a short smile .


    "I don''t mean Baron Walford did it . But those who might have had problems with the Baroness Walford have been harmed in some way, so be careful not to get too close . "


    "But you invited him, didn''t you? Why did you invite him when he was so dangerous?"


    "That one . "


    Gary blurted his words and nced at Daniel . When he confirmed that Daniel was not looking at this side, he told me .


    "Is a very wide-legged person . He''s a young man . He''s a great businessman . And he''s got a pretty good eye . "


    "An eye?"


    "He''s very sensitive . "


    Sandra stepped in . Oh . Really? I looked back at Daniel with an interested look . There are tons of old stuff in Mildred''s house . There were pictures, furniture and toys .


    It''s all a bunch of junk . That''s why Fred bought the house from its former owner . The former owner was a fallen earner . He said he was not able to maintain the castle .


    Fred, who wanted to reach out to the nobility, bought the whole thing .


    Why don''t I invite Daniel over sometime and ask him to take a look? Such an idea crossed my mind . But at that moment, Gary said .


    "And when you get close to him . You''re in trouble . It''s difficult when your eyes gets too high . "


    "Gary!"


    Sandra criticized it, but I already heard it . I turned my head straight and looked at Mildred''s older brother .


    "Tell me again, brother . "


    Gary''s face hardened at my words . He forced himself to smile as if he were joking .


    "He''s so handsome . Mil, you . He''s still young . Just wait for Barnes . "


    So Gary’s saying that Daniel will be worried of me if I see him more than a man who’s been around longer than him because he’s handsome .


    They''re all different .


    I see he''s worried about Mildred . Earl Murphy can do as much for Mildred, but not enough for the Mildred''s daughters . Besides, my brother, who was only three or seven years old, thought that he could not live alone for the rest of his life .


    Maybe he''s trying to save another third husband .


    But even with the best intentions, being rude is rude .


    I said with a stiff face .


    "I can no longer wait for Fred, my brother . I got a call about the discovery of his body . "


    "Oh, my God, Mil . "


    Sandra took my arm in surprise . She looks thin and rough, but she knows how to handle her people .


    "It''s all right . "


    I held Sandra''s hand together and said .


    "I thought this day woulde someday . "


    Mildred had thought that one day Fred woulde back or someone would find his body, and of course she had more desire for Fred toe back . She didn’t want to marry him for the third time, not because she loved him .


    "I''m sorry, Mil . "


    Gary spoke to me with pity, but I knew he wasn''t really apologizing . Gary, who is a good-natured man, is a rather humble type .


    He’d be embarrassed to hear me, but he’d be looking for someone who might be Mildred’s third husband, and he might be wondering how he could find her one and introduce her .


    I said, pushing Gary''s hand out .


    “We’ll see if you''re really sorry . ”


    Fred’s body was already found, so I’m sure they’ll be ready find me another man to marry . We''ll see how much they can put up .


    "Excuse me . "


    I stepped back from the cup I had finished by putting it on the cab .


    "Mildred . "


    I was about to go back when Daniel came up to me . This guy? I said with a re at him .


    "Mrs . Barnes . "


    There was a funny smile on Daniel''s face . Then, he said with a slight bow as if he were sorry .


    "Madame . "


    That''s enough . I nodded, and Daniel pressed closely .


    "Are you going back?"


    In a moment his body came bumping up before my eyes . I took a step back reflexively, because a tall, firm body blocked my view . Fortunately, that was the end . He didn''te as close as much than that . Instead, he put his hand on his waist .


    Thanks to this, I was literally out of sight except for Daniel . This guy, he''s big . I realized and looked at him .


    I turned on themp, but it wasn’t as bright as the world I used to live in . Daniel''s hair looked dark brown . His eyes were ck .


    I said, after opening up a distance that would not be socially med when a widow and a single person were together .


    "Yes . I''m going home . "


    "How do you go back?"


    I''ll have a carriage, if I can afford it, but I can’t afford it, so I came here riding a three-horse car .


    I have to go out and catch the trio again . Or Sandra can lend me the wagon .


    "Well . "


    In my vague reply, a smile shed on Daniel''s face . Why are youughing? When I asked him why, he said quietly .


    "Will you grant me the honors to ride with you?"


    It was so ssic that it took me a while to understand what it meant . I said with a big smile .


    "If you''re saying you''re going to pick me up, yes . Thank you . "


    It''s just, Gary''s words annoyed me a little . What? this man is going to make my eyes too high? That''s funny!


    Do you think Sandra was married because she was at her level? As anyone can see, Sandra''s marriage to Gary is a waste of Sandra . Still, Gary''s body, which was close to the average before the marriage, began to blow up very quickly soon after the marriage .


    "Let''s go . "


    Daniel once again extended his elbow to me . Iid my hand on this child''s arm without hesitation . I saw Gary look displeased in the far distance .


    I bowed to Gary and Sandra that I had to go now, and then I stepped down . There was a carriage standing in front of the house, as if it had already been contacted .


    "What did you do after that?"


    Asked Daniel in the carriage . The horseman started moving before I could tell him where I lived . Huh? I don''t have to tell you where I live?


    I asked with a small question .


    "After that?"


    "Before, in the city . You said you didn''t go to my store, did you go straight home?"


    He seems to be talking about the fall . I said with a nod .


    "No, I went back to see the children''s clothes . "


    Then Daniel''s eyes narrowed . He asked disapprovingly .


    "You didn''t treat it?"


    "I cleaned it up very quickly . "


    "Why?"


    "Why, what?"


    Do you ask me why I didn''t treat it? In front of me, Daniel leaned back against the carriage seat . And he said, with an unpleasant look .


    "I''m asking you why you didn''t get treatment . "


    You''re not asking at all . I said, in disbelief .


    "Are you worried? Or are you ming me?"


    Then Daniel''s attitude changed . He straightened himself up and spoke somewhat like a good boy .


    "Of course I''m worried . "


    It didn''t look like that at all, but let''s say it was . I spoke with my back against the carriage seat as Daniel was doing .


    "It was out of my mind . "


    "I would have offered to pay for the treatment . "


    This is it again . I realized Daniel''s tone was cheeky so I tried to hit him . But this time, his attitude did not change . He was still sitting like a sweet child, staring at me .


    Perhaps he was born arrogant . That said, his godmother was the mother of the king . That rum has got to be arrogant as well .


    Just look at Dabina''s attitude when she found out I was a nobleman . If you are treated like that from an early age, Daniel''s attitude may be taken for granted .


    "It''s not about the cost of the treatment . I was busy cleaning the house . "


    Oh, that''s right . When I told him that, I was wondering if he could check the clutter in the house . Now that we''ve paid for the treatment, why don''t we ask him toe over and pick something that''s good for us?


    "Then why don''t I take a doctor to visit your room?"


    Daniel said . I was wondering how I could ask him to pick something that would be useful without being rude, so I looked up .


    "You''reing to see things?"


    Oh, no . Not this . +


    Daniel tilted his head, appalled at my slip of the tongue .


    "What?"


    "Oh, no, so, the wound . "
