Fostering the Male Lead - Chapter 144

On a dark night, the woman who was gazing out the window with her body stretched out on the sofa lowered her eyes at the presence she felt next to her.

The man, who appeared silently like a shadow, knelt down in front of her and bowed his head. She looked down at the man with her emotionless eyes.

The woman took a sip of her wine, gently shaking the glass she was holding.

“How did it go?”

“…I am deeply ashamed of myself.  Everything has been annihilated.”

Then, anger flashed in her stone-hard eyes. The cup trembled at the strength of her slender hand, and she swung her arm hard.

Crash!

It hit the man’s forehead and the glass shattered and scattered across the floor.  Blood ran down his torn forehead and wet the man’s cheek.

She stared at the man with an insidious gaze as if she could not see the face of the man distorted by pain.

“You can’t even do that properly? I told you to catch her, whether it’s by using drugs or making her faint!”

The man’s shoulders stiffened at the ferocious sound of grinding teeth.

“I’m sorry.”

It’s annoying. Should I just kill him? Is it necessary to raise a dog that can’t even hunt?

She glared at the man with a ferocious glare, then clicked her tongue and turned her head away. Since she didn’t have many men to depose, he couldn’t be killed.

“What about any traces?”

“I definitely erased them all.”

“Go and collect the body.”

The woman, who was staring at the place where the man disappeared, threw a bottle of wine at the wall as if her anger was still not relieved.

Clank!

The bottle broke and red wine flowed down the wall, soaking the floor like blood.

“Next time definitely…”

The red eyes fluttered with obsession.

The sky outside the window was as dark as if covered by a curtain.

Looking up at the sky with my chin on my hand, I grumbled at the hand combing my hair.

“Marina, I feel very sorry for being confined like this on a fine day like today.”

“My Lady, they say it’s dangerous outside the blankets.”

And it looked like it would rain soon.  I licked my lips as Marina massaged my head.

No matter how much I am a homebody, being a voluntary homebody and a forced homebody have a different meaning. When I was suddenly deprived of my freedom, the desire to escape suddenly reared its head.

‘Why would the two of them get along well then?’

Remembering that day, I sighed heavily.

‘Rosetta, you will be on probation for a while from now.’

‘No!’

‘We don’t even know who our enemy is. Do you want to run around outside and get hurt again?’

My brothers pecked at me like chickens. I tried to refute it somehow and tried to retaliate, but 2:1 was too much for me.

‘Lanoa, as her older brother, you take responsibility for Rosetta.’

‘Of course. From today onwards, Rosetta Katzel will be kept on 24-hour close-fitting surveillance.’

Stimulated by Leonard’s words, Lanoa suddenly began to pose as a reliable brother. He really monitored me all day, 24 hours a day. You don’t know how crazy Lanoa gets when he sees someone leaving the mansion.

‘It’s kind of frustrating.’

If I was left alone, I would have stayed calm, but since he kept pestering me, I wanted to go out for no reason.

It had already been 3 weeks since I was grounded.  In other words, it was after Sihael had already turned into a wolf.

‘I should have stayed by his side.’

However, I couldn’t see my soft and fluffy Shasha because even Sihael agreed with me getting grounded.

“Master! I finished painting!  Hurry and look!”

Looking out the window with a bored face, I approached Lumiyan, who waved his arms and urged me to come.

“Voila!”

Lumiyan proudly presented a painting full of vibrant colors. I burst into laughter seeing the familiar face.

“Did you draw His Highness?”

“Yes.”

“Then who is this?  It’s not me.”

I knew the long and thin guy was Sihael, but who was the woman next to him?  Her hair color was too light to even consider me.

“I don’t know. It’s the first time I’ve seen her, but she was hugging Sihael.”

“…What?”

As I stared blankly at Lumiyan, he smiled his signature smile.

“I saw it!”

The picture crumpled in my hand. Seeing the distorted picture trapped in my clenched fist, Lumiyan reached out his hand in tears.

“My painting!”

“Wh-Who was he hugging?”

When the rumor spread in the mansion, I thought it was a false rumor. I implicitly believed that there would be no other person besides Sihael in the mansion. But I didn’t expect Lumiyan to see, not anyone else. The picture was stark with the child’s eyes.

My eyes, that narrowed as mercilessly as the crumpled painting, glared at the painting.

‘That means he also held her close to his chest.’

Surprised by my ferocious face that would rip him apart if caught, Lumiyan took her hurried steps and hid behind Marina. Marina, who was reflexively trying to push him away, was also startled by my face and quietly hid the Lumiyan.
