I Won't Accept Your Regrets

Chapter 103

Did someone look after Carlisle while I was gone?

"We must go, thank!" Carlisle moaned as if he was incredibly annoyed that he did not have a chance to come back and say thank you.

"But, if you think so," Jeremy spoke now, "The common people here all look the same. Even if we go back, how do we find that guy?"

And Jeremy was right about that.

It's a shame, of course, but this was already impossible.

"Carlisle. That uncle must have gone home by now. Thank you, of course... Don't worry, your mom will tell him from you."

So I begged Carlisle not to make another drama.

But my son kept glancing in the direction of the market.

However, it must be admitted that this "uncle" did well.

"Yes mom."

Looking into the distance for some more time, Carlisle still buried his face in my neck and calmed down.

And then Jed's voice was heard:

"Ellie!"

Jed, who had gone to the other side of the market to look, has now returned to us. Jed saw Carlisle in my arms and breathed out in relief.

"I found it all the same. Indeed, that's so lucky. But where have you been? "

Now I see that Jed was also very surprised. How his face turned white ...

"I was in the market."

"Are you okay?"

"Fortunately, Carlisle was not hurt."

"Okay okay."

He turned to the side, and suddenly froze. Looks like he spotted Jeremy next to me.

Should I introduce them?

"Oh, Jed, this is Jeremy Drua. Heir to Duke Drua. And we are close."

Jed was still silent and stood like a pillar.

Still not recovering from the shock of Carlisle?

But I told Jed about the previous incident at the appointment. He also knew about our adventures in the Kingdom of Lund.

Nothing has happened here worthy of such surprise.

At that moment, while Jed stood with his mouth open, succumbing to wild embarrassment, I heard Jeremy's voice.

"Jed is the head of the Order of the Phoenix, isn't he?" I worked as a mercenary and have often heard your name. It's nice to meet in person."

Jeremy reached out to Jed. Then Jed winced and grabbed Jeremy's arm.

"I - yes, I am Jed, the same head of the Phoenix. That is... nice to me too, Monsieur Drua"

"This is a private conversation, and your courtesy is unnecessary."

"Ah... Well, of course."

Jed smiled awkwardly.

I alternated my gaze between the two.

Only Jed was acting strange, Jeremy was not worried.

Is there something going on here that I don't know about?

Did you catch my eye on you? Jeremy smiled and turned to me.

"Ellie. It's too late already, I'd better go."

"Uncle Jeremy, are you leaving already?"

Carlisle looked up from me and asked.

"Well, your uncle still has work to do today. Sorry."
