Isn't Being A Wicked Woman Much Better?

Chapter 79

C79

Young, Young Master Enrique?

The servants looked at me as if I were a kidnapper.

He will stay with me for the moment.

Of all things, my father had to be out of the estate at this time, so I was thinking of staying with Enrique until he returned.

I'll prepare the clothes for Young Master to wear first.

While the attendants took care of Enrique, who was scared and soaked by the rain, I asked them to bring a cake and hot tea.

After a while, Enrique came out with a puffy face and hesitated in front of me.

Seeing Enrique fidget in a mess, I narrowed my eyes.

Enrique.

Yes?

Why are you suddenly shy? The last time you slept so deeply that you drooled, we got closer.

Hiiik!

I'm joking. Sit here.

After making Enrique sit quickly in case he ran away again, I picked up the fork.

This is a dessert brought from a store called Armand, which is the most popular shop these days.

Enrique looked at me with a sullen expression and then opened his mouth.

I'll eat well.

In the meantime, Enrique, who didn't forget to make his polite greetings, began to slowly eat the whipped cream pastries.

The movements of his hands gradually quickened as if the sweet pastry was to his liking.

Then, when I touched the one large strawberry with my fork, Enrique's pupils trembled quickly.

I think you want to eat it.

These days, it's not strawberry season, so freshly preserved strawberries aren't always available as they are in the spring.

"Of course, nobles can eat them at any time if they wish."

Unlike Deborah, who needs to get what she wants until she's satisfied, Enrique doesn't seem to have a personality that actively expresses what he likes.

I guess he ate what I gave him.

I picked up the strawberry like medicine while receiving Enrique's patient gaze.

Ah, try it.

Ah?

As soon as I put the strawberry into Enrique's mouth while he had a bewildered look, his eyes widened like saucers.

Enrique's cheeks reddened, and he quickly moved his chubby cheeks.

When I gave him the strawberries, I felt he was a little more relaxed, so I quickly took the next step.

Enrique, do you like chess? Or playing cards?

There aren't many things that can quickly dispel an awkward atmosphere more than playing a game.

Enrique took a sip of orange juice and opened his mouth.

Hm. Chess.

Soon, Enrique and I sat face to face with the chessboard in the middle.

For the sake of my younger brother's mood, I decided to play the game while being appropriately gentle with him, but I soon changed my mind.

"Why are you so good?"

Throughout the lesson, I thought Enrique's numerical skills were extraordinary, but he's a very intelligent type.

Checkmate.
