Chapter: 208

“Really?”

Theor answered in a witty voice, “Mhm. A secret is that you shouldn’t tell anyone.”

Theor recalled a memory his grandfather once told him of the secret.

“A secret should never be told to other people. If someone tells you it’s a secret, no matter what, you shouldn’t tell anyone else, got it?”

“Yes, Grandpa.”

Since then, Theor has not told anyone that Astelle is his mother.

Because a secret is something that must to be hidden.

Just like he has to hide his eye color in front of others.

A satisfied smile appeared on Kaizen’s lips.

He ruffled Theor’s fine hair with his hands.

“Cute boy.”

Hannah was cleaning the room after helping Astelle with the dress she was going to wear to the ball.

Theor hasn’t come back yet, even though she had put all the clothes boxes in order and finished cleaning them.

“Theor is late,” Astelle murmured anxiously.

Hannah got up.

“I will send the maid to bring back Young Master.”

“Okay.”

Then one of the maids rushed to her.

She was the maid who accompanied Theor to look after him.

“Lady!”

The maid came inside and begged Astelle for her forgiveness.

“I’m sorry, the Young Master has disappeared.”

She felt like her heart was sinking at that single word.

“Yes?”
