Chapter: 381

A smile appeared on Hannah’s face as she was explaining to Theor.

“Yes, of course. And there is a small pond in front of the garden, and there are also frogs in the pond. Don’t you want to go see them?”

“Yes! I want to go see the frogs.”

When Hannah was affectionately persuading him, Theor was excited and nodded his head.

Astelle, who was organizing Theor’s clothes, swallowed a bitter smile at the child’s innocent appearance.

The bedroom in the separate annex was smaller than in the main building, but it got plenty of sunlight and was comfortable.

When the curtains were opened, golden light poured in from the glass windows that filled the walls.

Theor’s toys were piled up in front of the fireplace.

Dolls made of soft fluffy fur, and elaborate military ships and fortresses that look like the real thing.

Soldier dolls the size of a finger are gathered in a circle.

Theor took a seat between them and played with the teddy bear while the two of them were packing up.

While Hannah went to organize the luggage, Astelle knelt down next to Theor.

She hugged Theor, who was obsessed with his toys.

“Aunt Astelle?”

Soft black hair touched her cheek.

The milky smell wafted from the white skin.

Astelle put her lips to Theor’s forehead.

Even though it was only a brief farewell, she felt sad.

It must be because she had never taken him out of her arms before.

For the past five years, Astelle has always kept Theor in her sight.

“Theor, you have to leave here with your grandfather in a few days.”

Theor, who escaped from Astelle’s arms, raised his sullen face.

“Will we go home?”

“Yes, but I can’t go with you two.”

The only toy not in the luggage bag, Levin the teddy bear, was in Theor’s hands.
