“There was no one to eat dessert with at the academy. So I’m really glad you’re back.”
“You had no one to eat dessert with?”
He was quite fond of sweets. That suited his soft appearance.
This was the case in my previous life. I used to buy a big cake on our wedding anniversary.
We used to share it.
There were times when we got along well as if we were playing house. The problem was that I was the only one who played house.
“I didn’t have any friends. People don’t like me very much.”
I don’t think so.
I looked at Gerald from the top of his head to his toes.
It couldn’t have been that he was lying! Having no friends with that tall and handsome stature. I can’t believe a guy like a unicorn who could work for anyone didn’t have any friends.
“That’s what I’m telling you, Lulu.”
So, you’re saying you just want to have dessert with me? I can just eat it with you.
“Let’s just hear what you’ve been doing at the academy, how have you been, and why you didn’t have any friends to eat dessert with.”
“I was just busy, so I didn’t have time to hang out. And everyone had someone else or something they were busy with.”
“Ah……”
Gerald laughed bitterly.
I could see what he was saying in no time. How many friends did you really come and hang out with? Most of them must have approached you with a purpose clearly.
Those approaching the Logan family, did not want to be friends with Gerald.
It’s not like I didn’t have them either.
In fact, even if the ladies introduced me to a man, would they exclude my family?
No way.
Our family background was something one could never fill in. Gerald wasn’t exactly someone without friends to hang out with. He might not have wanted to hang out with them.
I had met very few people who were as honest and clear as Flora.
“That’s why I only have Lulu.”
Gerald spoke like a child. The look on his face made me realize once again that Gerald is only 18 years old.
The Gerald of now is not the husband of my past.
Once again, the busy mind calmed down.
“Order everything you want to eat! It’s on me!”
“……I’m going to order everything.”
“Sure. It’s a graduation present from the Academy.”
“All right.”
Gerald was already smiling with a big grin. As expected, children are simple.
