Making a promise to herself that she wouldn't be wandering off to far, she decided to walk around. Moreover, she did not get many instances when she was able to be on her own.
The people inside the mansion were too overprotective of her. There was no reason that a watch was required to be kept over her for 24/7.
However, dilemma came upon Seraphine when she realized that she was lost. Because she hadn't come over to this part of the house before, she decided to give it a try.
But how could she have been aware that after being in this place for around ten minutes, she would be clueless of how to return back.
The servants seemed to be busy preparing for an event these days— she barely had a clue about— and therefore, she was not able to spot them.

Seraphine really suffered from a shock early in the morning. Not only did she wake up in between of her parents, she even had breakfast with them.Although her father barely said anything to her, just recalling about him patting her head was enough to render her speechless.She really did not know how to respond to that.As for her mother, she tried to make conversation with and show her care for Seraphine, but Seraphine was not able to bring herself to accept that.She kept things to the minimum as much as possible.Seraphine would prefer it better if her parents had neglected her completely, but no matter how blunt that was, she would not be able to let something harsh as that out.By the time it was afternoon, Seraphine was going through some books in order to learn more of this world.Due to her age, the amount of book she

The shocked face of Betty's did not come as a surprise to her since she felt the same about letting out those feelings of her as well.This did imply a lot of things, and one of them showed that she cared— which was most definitely not the case.This was merely because she was aggravated as a reader; at least that's how she tried to convince herself.Nonetheless, she did not want to talk about this matter to Betty further for a feeling within in her insisted that she will be regretting that.Therefore, she simply closed the book before and picked up a cookie from the plate before making her way over to the door.Even though Betty tried to bring the matter up, she merely smiled at the lady, showing her intent on how she had no desire to push further on it.Betty seemed to have probably gotten the idea of what she wanted for Betty only sighed and followed her to where her brothe

This was the first time Seraphine felt giddy after meeting up with Lyle, and he even agreed to grant that one wish of hers.With a cheerful mood, Seraphine was about to enjoy the snacks she had left behind when Betty spoke out, "Lady Seraphine, is there anyone you would prefer to invite for your birthday?"Seraphine raised her head to look at Betty and fell into a deep thought. Although there were couple of characters in the novel she would like to get acquainted with, she did not whether or not it would be appropriate to invite them.On top of all that, Seraphine in the novel did not have any close friends. So, it would not be strange for her to have no one to invite."You decide on the list, Betty, and I will write the letter inviting Kayden and Sharon. Lyle agreed," Seraphine expressed with a wide smile.Betty nodded her head."Betty, can I go outside? I want to buy supplies to d

Seraphine stared at Clayton's back. He held her hands as they walked upon the streets, and although he occasionally ordered her to speed up, at the end, he maintained his pace with hers.Because of doing at least this much, she decided to stay silent and not retort to all those ridiculous insults of his."Where do you want to go?" he questioned.Seraphine wanted to do much more things than just pick up the supplies, and although she was sad that the one accompanying her was Clayton, she had to make do with the situation."I am hungry," she responded.She wasn't exactly hungry, but it was that she wanted to try eating out. This was the first time she was getting the chance to do so after transmigrating to here."You," he impatiently expressed, "Didn't you eat enough at home?"After that, he turned his head back to stare at her, and she merely blinked her eyes at him.

Despite of his nagging, he followed her to everywhere and brought everything for her.

At this age, Glenn did not do anything dangerous to him, and knowing how the novel went, Clayton would be able to solve them.Even if it made her displeased that Clayton was friends with him, she had an idea about how her words would not have an affect without evidence, and moreover, she was merely a child.Therefore, seeing how it wasn't that urgent, she kept it for later on.Now, her curre

The day for her birthday had arrived, and everyone was busy around the mansion. Seraphine was getting dolled up as well, which she considered to be a burden.Seraphine believed that she looked cute without these unnecessary preparations.She couldn't count the amount of times she had to change hairstyles or dresses.

Seraphine was guided to the parlor. Apparently, the guests haven't arrived yet, so it was fine for the family to be gathered there.A nonchalant expression sat on Seraphine's face while she attempted to hide her feelings. No matter what happened, she acted as if it had no relation with her.Before the maid before them opened the door, Lyle placed her hand on Seraphine's hand and softly said, "Happy birthday."Seraphine's eyes widened due to his words, and she wondered whether or not she had misheard it. She raised her head to see his face, and seeing nothing on it, she shook her head subtly.Even if he wished him, it was not a big deal to him; it was most likely a courtesy, rather than a sincere wish. After all, this was common.Seraphine entered into the room and was met with the bubbly face of her mother. The only one in the room with a visibly bright expression was Evangeline.As

Both Jiyeon and Taeyang was on the cleaning duty for the class. As Jiyeon was arranging the table, she noticed that Taeyang was staring at her with a mildly amused smile on his face.That aggravated her, and she expressed, “What? What are you looking at?”Without saying anything, he made his way over to her. Then, extending his hand, he touched her face and stroked it before voicing out, “You don’t have to do anything to make me jealous.”Her eyes widened at his words, and she stepped back, feeling totally exposed under that gaze of his.She then stuttered, “W-What do you mean?”Clearing her throat, she spoke with more confidence: “What sort of nonsense are you uttering now? Me making you jealous? Why would I do something so absurd?”She scoffed.He chuckled and stated, “Is that so? I know you well, Seraphine. You can’t hide from me.”“What? How can y

“Hold on, hold on, he actually said that to you!?” Aera exclaimed in disbelief. “Whoa! He is seriously a player.”Sitting on her bed, Jiyeon took a sip from her strawberry milk and stared down. The events of the other day still heated up her cheeks. Taeyang simply looked too dashing.“How did he know I was there though?” Jiyeon questioned. “Could it be a coincidence?”“About that,” Aera voiced out, “I might have spilled out your location to him.”Jiyeon raised an eyebrow.“Well, he called me, asking where you are as your phone was shut off, and I told him you’re on a date. Then, he questioned me about the location, and he is too scary. I wasn’t able to hide it.”Jiyeon could see where Aera was coming from. After the confrontation she had with Taeyang the other day, he really had a fierce side to him. Maybe because she w

Just as she was about to hug Yejoon, Jiyeon felt herself being dragged back by a large force, and this caused her eyes to widen. She turned her head to look at the one behind it and was shocked to see Taeyang standing there.What was he doing here?His eyes fiercely stared at her, causing her to be shaken up, and it appeared that he was only slightly away from bursting off at her. This was the first time she had faced this side of hers, making her wonder on how she had possibly offended him.“Who are you? It’s too impolite to pull someone this way,” Yejoon voiced out.Jiyeon smiled at him and expressed, “It’s fine. I know him. You can leave now.”Yejoon seemed a little hesitant. Nonetheless, he nodded before leaving. Before she could wave her hand at him, her face was gripped by Taeyang, and he forced her to meet his eyes.“Who is he?” Taeyang questioned, and his tone held immense intensity&mda

Jiyeon totally erased from her mind about asking Taeyang about why he stayed with her that night. This was surely done out of friendship, and there was no need to make the matters awkward by probing into this topic. This is how Jiyeon managed to convince herself.But when Taeyang came for the tutoring session on the next day, Jiyeon felt pained upon seeing him, and it was hard for her to keep on behaving normally as if nothing had happened. Taeyang surely had noticed something due to how silent she had been. That’s why, she appreciated him not asking anything about it.As Jiyeon was going through the book in her hand, Taeyang’s phone rang, and a picture popped up on the screen. It was the image of the woman she had seen with him yesterday; she was called Jihye.“Excuse me for a second.”With that said, he stood up and received the call. Jiyeon observed his expressions. His eyes widened for a second— probably shocked by what h

Jiyeon’s breathing for that instant stopped, and her heart clenched painfully. A nauseating feeling arose in her stomach. That’s why, holding her mouth, she stood up and rushed towards the washroom. At the same time, her eyes were flooded with tears.Seeing Jiyeon’s reaction caused a frown to form upon Taeyang’s features, and he did call after her. But she paid no mind to his words. He wanted to go after her, but that’s when his attention fell on her phone. It seemed that she saw something on the device.Picking the device up, his eyes fell on the screen, and that’s when he understood why she had shown such an intense reaction. This was due to a certain name she had seen— Kayden.He shut her phone and let out a sigh.°°°After washing her face, Jiyeon came out of the washroom and then said, “I am sorry. I suddenly felt sick.”Taeyang stood up and made his way over to Jiyeon. H

Taeyang shot her a quizzical look, not clearly expecting her to mention this right now, before that changed to amusement, and he voiced out, “Why are you so curious about that?”Jiyeon believed that she had decent acting skills when she smiled and said, “Am I not your friend? This simply is an enough reason for me to know about it. Now, quick, quick, tell me who is it that managed to steal that heart of yours.”“Because you are my friend?” The boy stated.There was a certain amount of amusement present in his tone, and this caused her to feel nervous. Certainly, he didn’t notice her intentions, right? Although she did feel very much exposed under his gaze, she tried to convince herself that the boy wasn’t capable of reading minds.Jiyeon nodded.“Can I not ask as your friend about the girl you like?”“Of course, you can ask,” Taeyang said, “And as for who the perso

“Of course not. What are you talking about? You can feel comfortable at here. You have done a lot for Jiyeon, and we are thankful to you for that,” her mother voiced out.Hearing how gently her mother was speaking made Jiyeon scoff and say, “I didn’t know that you are able to talk in this manner, Mother; I thought you were only capable of shouting.”This caused her mother to glare at Jiyeon and state, “Shut up! Make yourself useful for once, and set up the table.”Although Jiyeon rolled her eyes at her mother, she did as the woman ordered as she made her way over to the kitchen. Tilting her head from the kitchen, she could see that small conversation went on between her mother and Taeyang. This caused her to wonder what the content was.Nevertheless, Jiyeon was quick to her feet and arranged the table without causing much accidents. Once done with that, she took her seat and called for

Jiyeon had to admit that Taeyang was great at explaining her. It was as if he understood her and knew how to keep her concentration on the subject. No matter how much she wanted to distract him or ask him unnecessary questions, he didn’t let that happen.And as for the last part of the session, he gave her few problems to solve, saying, “After you are able to solve them all and get half of them correct, you can go home.”Jiyeon was dumbfounded by the expectations he held on her. Even on the subject she found the easiest, getting half correct was hard for her.“Can’t we lower the bar a little? Today is the first day after all. Let’s settle for forty percent.”He shook his head and voiced out, “If you get more than fifty percent, I will reward you.”That did sound appealing to her, and knowing that there was no place for argument, she attempted the questions I hopes of attaining that reward.

It didn’t take Taeyang long to finish making the breakfast, and even though Jiyeon had a large intake of sugar now, that didn’t take away from her appetite when she smelled the pancakes. This caused her to feel sudden hunger.Taeyang placed the glass of orange juice in front of her before serving her pancakes and covering those up with syrup. Yurie’s mouth watered as she held her fork and voiced out, “Thank you.”After that, given how delicious the pancakes were, it didn’t take her long to finish eating them, and once done with that, she stared at Taeyang with impressed eyes.“Whoa! This is seriously good,” Jiyeon voiced out, “You really have a way to lower my self-esteem.”“Don’t worry about that. Collectively, you are way better than me.”This made Jiyeon scrunch up her nose and vocalize, “We both know that is not the case. I am far from being half as good as you.
