Instead, he moved his finger to point at the picture hanging next to it.
"This is Theo's father!"
It was a portrait of the Duke painted three years before his death. Charlotte looked at the photo and nodded. Obviously, Theo was more familiar with this look.
"This is Theo's father, and this is Theo's father as well."
However, Theo did not understand and was upset, Charlotte smiled bitterly and took Theo's hand, pointing this time at the former duchess.
Because what matters today is the duchess, not the duke.
"Well Theo, do you know who this is?"
Theo shouted confidently.
"I don't know! But she is pretty!"
As the child said, the Duchess, who was famous in social circles, was beautiful.
Is he so instinctively drawn to his mother that he can't even remember her face?
Theo opened his mouth and looked at her face.
Charlotte hugged Theo from the waist and whispered to him.
"This is Theo's mother."
Theo's eyes widened. The child stutters, looking at the picture and Charlotte alternately.
"Really? Is this Theo's mother?"
"yes ."
"Wow."
Theo walked to the painting, sat in front of it, and watched the painting.
Theo, whose eyes widened, suddenly turned to look at Charlotte.
"By the way, Sister, where is Theo's mother?"
Again, this was a difficult question to answer.
However, Theo did so at Sir Heather's funeral. If so, it would be easy for him to understand.
Charlotte pondered this in her heart and chose the words carefully.
"Theo, how did you say goodbye to brother knight days ago?"
"Yes goodbye !"
"You also said goodbye to your mother a long time ago."
"when?"
"Once upon a time, when Theo was younger."
Theo frowned, trying to remember, but he couldn't.
The child asked again in a slightly depressed voice.
"Then I can't meet Theo's mother?"
Charlotte hesitated for a moment, unable to answer this time. It was because she remembered Theo's face, who was crying sadly, asking why his mother wasn't there.
How would Theo react if he knew all the truth? Won't the child, who was happy with this picture alone, shed tears of disappointment again?
She couldn't even tell the obvious lie that he'd see her one day.
She is afraid that the child will wait for the day when he will meet her disappointed.
Charlotte managed to get the words out quietly.
"Yes. Theo's mother has gone away and we can't see her anymore. But she says she loves Theo so much, she loves you so much. She will be so sad that she won't see Theo either."
"Oh."
"But when you miss your mom, how about you come here with Sister? Tell me when you want to see your mom, okay?"
