Reborn as the Tyrant's Son

Chapter 116

Chapter 116

"I did not know that you know how to properly invest in businesses."

Napaangat ng tingin si Iris sa Count na bigla na lamang sumulpot sa likod niya.

Nakaupo kasi siya sa living room, nagbabasa ng libro sa isang couch nang biglang marinig niya ang boses ng Count from her behind. His hands are behind his back, his figure towering on her seating figure.

"Callirhoe, Her Imperial Grace, and Her Imperial Majesty gave me directions. I merely followed their words." Bumaba ulit ang tingin niya sa binabasa. "It worked out successfully."

"Of course, it will." He laughed. "May I sit beside you?"

"You do know that you own everything here, right? Do you really have to ask, my lord?" Tawa nito.

The Count shook his head as he sat beside her.

"My wife owns everything." He smiled softly. "What I own is hers."

"You have a wonderful marriage, my lord. I'm happy for you." Tango-tango ni Iris, tuluyan nang isinara ang librong binabasa. "You have a wonderful family."

"The Countess was tamer now, right?" Tawa ng Count. "You knew her as a wild and mean woman before. But now, a lot has changed. She still runs her mouth though."

"You love that about her."

"I love everything about her."

The Count stared in front of him as if he's seeing his wife standing there.

"Her eyes glare a lot. Kung hindi masama ang tingin, umiikot iyon, nagtataray. Yung pagkunot ng noo niya kapag hindi niya nagustuhan ang sinasabi o ipinapakita mo. That sharp tongue of hers that can make even the strongest man cry. The little tears forming in the side of her eyes when she laughs too hard. Oh! You don't know how much I love her flirty personality as well."

Iris watched as the Count goes on and on about the things he loves about his wife.

Excitement didn't leave him while he's talking. Sobrang consistent ng saya nito, hindi bumaba kahit na minsan, and it warmed Iris' heart.

"And my daughter? Many say she's like me."

"She is a little you with a little mix of the Countess."

"Many do say that to me."

Nagulat si Iris nang sumulpot bigla si Sif on her sleepwear. Her father remained calm, on the other hand, halatang napansin na ang anak at alam na susulpot ito bigla-bigla.

"Dahil totoo naman, my lady." Iris calmed herself down, napapailing na lang kung bakit hindi pa siya sanay.

"We're too similar, indeed."

The Count looks so proud as he says those words.

"You know me too well. Alam mo ang pagkaka-pareha at pagkaka-iba natin."

"Of course, I know you too well. Walang sikreto sa pamilyang ito." Sif sighed. "Magsisikreto pa lang ay alam na kaagad ng isa."

"The Countess was probably stressed because of your wits." Kunot noong komento ni Iris.

"Not really." Sif shook her head. "Mom is a really observant person. Aside from that, ang lakas ng pakiramdam niya, so she'll end up finding everything out. Just later than the other."

"I mean... She literally hated you when you first met because of how two-faced you are." Iris attacked the Count.

"Wala kang matatagong sikreto sa pamilyang ito." He proudly said bago nilingon ang unica hija. "I believe the Third Imperial Highness is having his night walking outside."
