Raising my Fiancè with Money

ia raised her head a little more.
His face was shrouded in shadows.
There was a dark wall behind his eves which were covered by descending black eyelashes.
Even if he improved a lot, he still looked blunt in the eyes of others.

Their eyes met for a moment.
Lilia saw a faint smile like the dawn of the morning.
Her heart skipped a beat like a book standing out on the bookshelf.
It seemed that the emotions that had fallen off and hidden in them would unfold soon.

Lilia pressed her chest with her fingertips.
She didn’t want to take it out and dig it up.
She didn’t know she’d have useless feelings for no reason.

“I think I’m done, so I’ll go pay first.”

As Lilia took off, Karhan also headed to the cashier.
After purchasing the book, the two left the bookstore, The sun floating above her head was already inclined to the west.
Lilia recalled the purpose of meeting Karhan today.

“I’ll return your coat.”

Karhan followed Lilia along.
Upon arriving in front of the carriage, Lilia said her goodbyes first.

“It’s already late, so we’d better break up for today.”

Karhan looked at Lilia with disappointed eyes.
After contemplating for a while, he carefully opened his mouth.

“Can I see you off to your home?”

“…..
Won’t it take longer to get back?”

Each person came in a carriage, so there was no need to bother.
When Lilia pointed out the realistic problem, Karhan was eventually forced to step down.

“I borrowed your coat well.”

Lilia returned two cleanly washed coats.
While Malek put the coat in Karhan’s carriage, Lilia held out a small box.

“It’s a present.”

Karhan’s gaze was stuck on the box.

“What’s inside is a cuff button.
I frivolously bought it while passing by, and I thought it would look good on

you.”

She bought it without much thought, but when she tried to give it to him, she was a little shy.
Karhan, who took the box, fiddled with it several times with his long fingertips.
He carefully put it in his arms as if dealing with precious jewellery

“I’ll cherish it.”

“It’s not for ornamentation, it’s consumables, so wear it often.”

“Then… I’ll use it after a while.”

He fiddled with his coat as if he couldn’t use it because it was a waste.
He looked happy like a child who received a gift he wanted very much on his birthday.

The feelings hidden under the slightly curved eyes were warm.
It was the first time karhan showed all his emotions on his face, so Lilia blinked.

She felt weird.
She remembered Richard, who took for granted the things she gave him as gifts from some point on.
She thought of him who was openly disappointed when he received something he didn’t

like.

Lilia had a light smile.
Seeing him so happy and glad, she felt proud.

“See you next time.”

Lilia, who gave a short farewell, got on the waggon.
Karhan stood there and watched the waggon depart.
The carriage of the Bloden family gradually moved away from his sight.

The box in his arms poked his chest as if it reminded him of its existence.
Karhan raised his head and muttered.

“I have to pay her back.”

“What?”

Tession, who was standing next to him, asked back.
Karhan took a step instead of explaining.
If he received a gift, he should pay it back.
He wanted to give it to her as soon as possible, so he thought he should just give her a gift today.
In fact, he might be able to see Lilia again with that excuse.

Karhan entered the downtown area where the shops were lined up and looked at the items with attentive eyes.
While thinking about what gift to give, he opened the love guide he was reading earlier.
Referring to the recommended gift list, Karhan chose the gift after much consideration.

What he chose after a long time was a small parasol.
For some reason, Lilia seemed to have every style of parasols, but that was the case for other items as well.

“Let’s go to the Bloden mansion.”

“What? Now?”

Thinking it might be a little late, Tession took out his pocket watch and checked it.

“I just want to give her a present.”

He didn’t wish to have an appointment with Lilia.
He just wanted to give her a present and go back.

The two got on the waggon.
On his way to the Bloden mansion, Karhan looked out the window.
It seemed somewhat special to think that Lilia would have gone the same way.

Karhan took out the box he had put in his arms and fiddled with it.
As far as he remembered, he had never even received a birthday gift properly.
A birthday that no one celebrated was just lonely.

So Karhan forgot his birthday.
He didn’t really care about it, so he often passed it without knowing that his birthday had passed.
He had a handful of occasions when he received a gift on his birthday, but it was the first time he received a gift on a day that was nothing.

A faint smile came to mind.
Karhan leaned his head by the window and ruminate over what happened today.
And he recalled what Lilia had said.

– I don’t know about you, but I think we’re friends.

The smile around his mouth disappeared.
If it had been before, he would have been just happy.
He must be excited to be friends with Lilia…… Yet when he heard that from Lilia, his heart tightened.

He thought it would be nice to make friends, but he didn’t want to be friends with Lilia.
Karhan could not tell what this contradictory mind was.

“We are here”

The carriage stopped in front of the gate of the mansion.
It was late, and he was going to ask the gatekeeper to give her the gift because it could be burdensome to suddenly visit.

Karhan got off the waggon.
And he saw two people raising their voices next to the gate.
It was Lilia and Richard Tersian.
