When the Villainess Became the Male Lead's Obsession

Chapter 13

The blank paper placed on the chair was soon filled with ink.

As more crooked letters were scribbled on the paper, Elysia’s facial expression spread wider with surprise.

“You’re very bright.”

Elysia, of course, knew that Eden was a bright child.

Even if Elysia knew, it wasn’t that it wouldn’t surprise her.

There were consonants and vowels in a world where Elysia originally lived, and if she were to teach Eden those, he would immediately memorize them the first time he was taught.

Simple terms were easy to convey.

Eden, who had a lifeless blank expression on his eyes yesterday, had made great progress in a mere hour.

“Wow.”

Elysia continued to voice her amazement.
And whenever she did, a flush of red spread through Eden’s cheeks.

When Elysia confirmed that Eden showed more expressions as she praised him, she did it explicitly and more frequently.

“How were you able to learn all of these letters in just a span of one day?”

“…….”

Eden consciously bit his lip, stopping his unconscious self that was about to smile.

But Elysia quickly caught his expression.

‘I may look like this, but I have been raising a child for nine years already.’

Elysia had been taking care of Ariel since she was a newborn, and it had been almost nine years since that day.

She was proud of herself with a ‘career’ that she couldn’t say a word about and continued to praise Eden instead.

“Are you a genius?”

Sensing the warmth rise to the top of his head, Eden fanned himself with his hand.

Elysia continued to tease Eden with joy as she saw Eden’s cute reactions.

While fanning himself, Eden bowed down his head and continued to write diligently.

He wrote on the paper without making any errors.

His hands were small and his penmanship was crooked, so Elysia couldn’t say that he wrote well, even if it was a lie.

‘My Ariel took her over a week, too.’

The one who taught Ariel how to write was Elysia. Ariel had hated learning to write and often lied to her sister about being sick and skipped class, and in severe cases, Ariel would quickly run away when her sister went to the bathroom.

And each time, Elysia would search all over the mansion to find Ariel.
Elysia’s face relaxed as she reminisced about the not-so-distant past.

“You did great.”

Elysia’s cold-looking face that gave off an indifference whenever she’s serious, looked warm throughout teaching Eden the letters.

“…Thank you very much…”

With both hands placed on the chair, Eden turned to look at her and responded to her praise.

If Elysia had not known that Eden had lost his memory, it would have been a reaction that might seem inadequate.

However, Elysia, who was aware of his situation, wiped off her warm expression at him and tapped the paper with a bitter expression.

“Lastly, why don’t you write your name?”
