Say Something Good

“That’s not an excuse.”

Knocks came to the door, and Wolfram darted a glare at Lena. The maid poked her head from the gap and asked, “M-Master? Are you finished? Miss Eine wants to see her dress.”

Wolfram was wearing a maroon shirt, so he just closed his clothes to hide the injury. He got up from the bed and walked out to meet Eine. Delta was left there on her own, wiping her lips clean from her saliva and the blood. As her tongue glided across her teeth, she remembered how Wolfram’s tasted in her mouth. For some reason, she couldn’t bring herself to forget.

“Mommy, are you okay?” Eine looked at her mother’s dazed eyes. She just saw how Wolfram patted her head and held onto his shoulder after.

“Hmm? Yes, dear.” Delta smiled before getting to her feet. She then walked her daughter to the vanity chair. “Let Big Sister Lena comb your hair and prepare your dress. I will have to get out of my dress before I stain it.”

Delta said that, but she already spotted a red stain on one of the sleeves. However, since the puffed sleeve was red, it wasn’t easy to spot. However, when the blood dried and darkened, she would take a while to remove it. It was best to launder it now after she potentially dirtied it.

The main lobby was a lazy place. At least Delta thought it was the best place to laze around. She could get close to the phonograph and switch to a different vinyl record. Then she would dance on her own in her beige A-shaped dress. The rug was like the grass, and she would dance until Foxley’s drone shows up to fly around like a fly.

Of course, the same drone was also flying around the front yard while they were waiting. Wolfram was only watching Foxley’s control over the drone, and the maids grew attentive to it. After all, the ninja would suddenly pick a spot to climb and jump from.

“Did we take too long?” Delta walked out of the house with her daughter, Eine. Wolfram would say something, but his tongue was caught in his mouth.

Unlike her doll-like dress, Delta found a dress hidden in those piles shoved in her closet. It was a coral high-low mermaid dress with a ruffled skirt and an off-shoulder neckline. On her neck was a lace choker with a ruby in the middle. Her wrists were also adorned by gold bangles.

Delta looked up at the man, her makeup not as childish and doll-like as the one from yesterday. “You can blame Lena for suddenly asking me to wear a different dress for today. The hem ends where the corset did, so even if it’s smooth, the corset doesn’t show. Or so she said.”

“It’s fine. You really look like you’re putting effort into this.” Wolfram’s eyes couldn’t even move away from her dress. He couldn’t decide whether it was because he could see her chest and her knees or because he could fully map her shape.

Delta felt the weight of his gaze. “Is the dress really that pretty?”

“Me, Wolfie! Am I pretty?” Eine ran up to Wolfram and held his hand. When she showed up, even Foxley ran up to stand closer as well.

“Say something good about me, too...” Foxley huffed. He placed the drone down first before grabbing Wolfram’s fingers with his vacant hand. He was still holding onto the controller.

Wolfram would frown, but he figured these two were still projecting onto him. After all, they seemed to have grown up without a father. He complimented both children since they chose their clothes on their own. Now that they had many, they had the privilege to choose.

Delta only watched them with a small smile. Soon enough, these two would have to choose between her and Wolfram. She hoped that whoever they did could take care of them.

The car pulled up, and Wolfram had everyone sit inside the black limousine. When the children saw the interior, they wondered why the seats were different. Moreover, the car was looong—yes, with three O’s.

“Are we going to the supermarket with this?” Eine asked as she looked out the wide window. She could see people turning to see the long car she was in. Whenever someone did, she would lower her head to escape their gazes.

“Not really. We’re only using this car for special occasions.” Wolfram said so, but he could definitely use this car whenever he wanted.

Delta looked out as well. She had grown accustomed to spotting dangerous men whenever she was out in public. “I’m surprised your paparazzi didn’t follow you in the open.”

Wolfram only hummed. His attention was taken by what Foxley was watching. He then looked at the child, who looked so engrossed. “They’re playing a video game. Do you want to play that game, too? I’ll get someone to buy you the console and the game.”

“Wolfie, can’t we buy it ourselves?” Foxley paused the video and looked up at him with a smile. “Let’s go out to the mall and buy toys. Eat delicious food…”

“…I’ll find time next week—” Wolfram said that, but he turned away and frowned a little. He then smiled at the boy. “You know what? Let’s go tomorrow. It’s Sunday, so I don’t have work. Unlike your mom, I don’t have to sell oranges every day.”

Eine heard the conversation and moved to carefully walk toward Wolfram. She held onto Wolfram’s knee to keep balance. She even smiled at the man. “Silly Wolfie. Mommy doesn’t have oranges to sell anymore. She won’t have to wait for Sunday to take the day off.”

Wolfram was reminded that Delta was most likely staying at home ever since they started living with him. The diligent orange vendor was now resting like a queen, while the prince became the automaton. His eye would twitch, but he promised his ill father. All he had to do was to have someone to take care of everything in his stead.

His eyes glanced at the hardworking mom, and Delta seemed to like the gaze he gave for a moment. He could already tell what was on her mind.

    Feet shuffled as someone ran up to the main lobby. There were giggles in her mouth as she ran around like a small child let loose in their new house. It was just that… it was not their new house. Delta just incredibly missed the majestic visage of the Blue Moon Estate.Instead of having the honeymoon right after the wedding, Delta asked to have it moved to another month—or even at the end of the year. After all, Wolfram was still undergoing physical therapy for his body. She also needed to catch up with work to snatch Zenon’s seat on the board.Nah, Trisha knew how to be kind even if she was like an old witch. Delta long forgot to zero in on Zenon’s seat. Yuri should just pick someone else’s.“Delta, aren’t you a little too giddy?” Wolfram laughed a little as he called out from the door. He was also caught perusing the door of his real house. Ever since they received that threat toward Eine and Foxley, they had relocated to the Willow House. It was nothing but a safe house prepared f

  • The Runaway Wife and Her Tabby Cat Prince   Daddy Yuri

    Even though the newlyweds escaped the church, Trisha was sure that they would return for the reception. She was making rounds to see the food served to the guests, but she only heard everyone discussing a few things about the wedding. They talked about the venue, the other guests, Delta’s angelic entrance… the children, the wedding vows, and the willful escape.Some matrons and maidens gossiped about the children a lot. It was evident in their vows that Delta’s little angels were not Wolfram’s children. However, the two kids would say ‘Daddy Wolfie’ every time.“Trisha, when are they returning?” Janelle stealthily went to her side and offered her a drink as an excuse. “We still have to tell Delta about the thing.”“Psh, do you think I’m not ready? Delta already knows about the plan.” Trisha huffed and still took the drink Janelle gave her. She sipped on it and waved her hand to make Janelle scarce. They shouldn’t be caught talking, or else people might get the wrong idea.Just as Jane

    Chatters returned with squeals and cooing as the flower girls and the ringbearers came. Eine and Regina were like little fairies scattering the flower petals. Even if guests could not bring their children, the bride and groom’s family still had theirs. After all, these three had a role to play.Foxley walked next to Gulper, the dog carrying a pillow on its back. Gulper even had a suit that matched its owner’s clothes. The rings were on the pillow, encased in a glass box for people on the aisle to see. It was a pair of white rings with diamonds and gold linings.The music soon died down before the bridal theme started playing. However, instead of the normal song, what played was an old song only a few could recall. Wolfram figured it was that one song Delta liked listening to while she was waiting for Carolus to come home when they were still children.“Here she comes…” “Oh, my God… her gown is so gorgeous…”The people stood for the coming of the bride. When the doors opened again, the

    The wares vendor hid behind her stand, but Delta still came to hand one to her. She didn’t do much for Delta’s mental well-being, but she was the first one who would lend Delta money when she needed to loan some to make ends meet.Delta still smiled at her, so the third vendor only chuckled nervously. “I’m really sorry. I just thought you grew so ungrateful and left without a word…”“A wedding? I guess you’re doing well. That’s good.” The man was eating the strawberries he bought while listening to them. He even offered some to Delta. “I’m also happy for you… even if you don’t know me at all.”“Don’t know? But I remember all my repeat customers. Thank you for buying a crate every time.” Delta also smiled at the man. However, she didn’t have any invitation for him. It was not like he expected one as well. She just indulged him by asking for one strawberry.…Days after…Delta kept on twirling in her room as she waited for the ceremony to start. She was already suited in her wedding gow

    The solemn greeting of the maids echoed to the stairwell where Delta was. Instead of heading back to the home office, she changed direction and went to greet her husband. She descended the stairs and found him walking home after another day of physical therapy.Unlike what Delta thought, even his blades burned against his skin that time. Not only the obvious spot had third-degree burns. For Wolfram to regain his ambidexterity and attack speed, he needed to do a lot of physical therapy. Of course, it came with frustration and exhaustion.Wolfram walked with his eyes closed, so it was fairly easy for Delta to catch him with her own body. When he bumped into her, he only gasped softly and whined upon seeing the bright smile on her lips.“Delta, have you finished with the guest list?” Wolfram wrapped his arms around her shoulders as she did the same on his waist. “You also look mischievous. Are you doing something strange?”“No, nothing strange.” She giggled as she then moved to show him

  • The Runaway Wife and Her Tabby Cat Prince   That Kind of Relationship

    The sound of papers shifting conquered the room as two men were looking through them. Some were letters of congratulations as if hoping they would be invited to the wedding. Yuri had devised this thing when he married Mariska. Only those who could give the nicest wedding gifts were allowed to come to his wedding. Since Zenon did the same, everyone assumed Wolfram would not break tradition.Delta was working on customizing the letters to respond to the rest, while Finlay and Gendry were on the soft carpet. The two were going through the offers; one was grading their realism, while the other was running checks on whoever sent them. Delta could ask Angeline to go through them, but she needed that secretary to handle more things required by the company.She then chuckled as she took a break from typing. Delta gazed at the two working hard on drawing out a list of candidates. The woman would have to run it through Colton Industries afterward. After all, she needed to see which were blackli
