Raising My Fiancé With Money
Chapter 51
Responsibility
TL: Jasmine
Lilia’s remarks made the surroundings quiet.
“You want to continue the business?”
As if he couldn’t believe it, Cliff asked. Violet also looked similar to Cliff. At their reaction, Lilia quietly clenched her fist. Perhaps because she was nervous, her palms were a little wet.
“Did I say that too hastily?’
She has not yet fully restored the trust of her family. They couldn’t suddenly welcome her and say she could continue the business now. It was an expected reaction, but her stomach was stinging more than she thought.
In the quiet dinner hall, Lilia lowered her gaze. She thought about saying that it was just a joke and that she was talking nonsense for a moment.
But she didn’t want to either. She hadn’t said it lightly, She didn’t want to withdraw because after much, consideration, she had sincerely meant it. Lilia raised her head again, strengthening her determination.
“I know I’m not good enough. I’m not as good as my older brother…. I haven’t learned anything or done anything.”
When she was in a relationship with Richard, she took a bridal class because she wanted to be a good wife.
Her parents disapproved of it, but they did not object. It was because it was Lilia’s choice.
“I don’t know if I deserve it…… but I want to try it.”
Lilia plucked up her courage and expressed her opinion. Violet and Cliff, who didn’t say anything for a moment, looked at each other. Heinley also put down the tableware and looked only at Lilia. Violet asked Lilia on behalf of the three,
“No… Since when have you been interested in business?”
“I’ve been interested in it for a long time, but it’s only recently that I want to inherit the business.”
“What are you going to do about getting married?”
“Marriage is…”
Lilia hesitated to answer for a moment. After Richard, Lilia had no desire to get married. It was only a contractual relationship with Karhan, and she decided to break up with him after achieving her goal a year later. She tried to answer that she would date, but not get married.
At that time, Karhan’s face suddenly came to mind. She remembered the way he looked at her, so Lilia wiggled her finger and said,
“…….I don’t have any thoughts about that yet.”
Violet nodded with a satisfied face.
“That’s possible.”
“Yeah, there’s no law that says you have to get married just because you’re in a hurry!”
Cliff was excited and added a word. Heinley, who had been silent, also responded positively and said,
“She’ll be in a lot of trouble if she becomes a Duchess. How many foxes are sitting in the social world…..”
Everyone seemed to have waited only for this time, Somehow, the topic seemed to have shifted from business to marriage, so Lilia changed the subject again.
“So I want to run the business……”
“Do it.”
Violet readily agreed. Lilia thought for a moment whether she had instead said she wanted to eat snacks and not about continuing the business.
“…..Are you really fine with it?”
“You can’t force a guy who doesn’t want to do it, can
you?”
Violet pointed at Heinley with her chin. Heinley pretended not to hear it and picked up the tableware again to eat.
“Such stubbornness…..”
“I think it’s time to give up on persuasion.”
When Heinley hit back, a tendon rose on the back of Violet’s hand.
“Since it’ll be Lilia that inherits the business, I don’t have anything to ask you anymore.”
Dazed, Lilia blinked. It was an opinion that she expressed after a lot of consideration. No matter how much her parents spoiled her, she didn’t know she would be allowed to do it this easily. Violet turned her head and looked back at Lilia,
“It’s been a while since you said you wanted to do something.”
“But it’s not just about determination.”
Violet’s light green eyes met Lilia’s.
“Can you swear you won’t run away even if something hard comes up?”
The Bloden name, which stretched out across the Empire, had grown so large that it had no significant rivals. In other words, the life and death of many people depended on the Bloden family. Their shoulders were already heavy.
A heavy sense of responsibility weighed down on Lilia. Now was the last chance to withdraw her remarks. Lilia, who had been quiet for a while, slowly opened her mouth,
“I swear.”
Violet confirmed Lilia’s commitment through her eyes.
“That’s enough for now. You should also consider your qualities as a businessman. Let’s think about it slowly.”
At Violet’s words, Lilia finally exhaled her breath
“My daughter has grown so much…”

Cliff, who was watching, dabbed his tears with a napkin instead of a handkerchief. He grabbed the napkin with a squeezing force, saying that it was just yesterday when she was a toddler. Heinley, who had been particularly quiet, quietly opened his mouth,
“Tell me if you’re having a hard time. I’ll help you.”
Lilia blinked slowly. Perhaps because she had only seen him oppose her since she met Richard, Heinley, who agreed with what she said, was unfamiliar.
Lilia lowered her eyes silently. In fact, the reason why she hesitated for a long time before bringing this up was because of Heinley. Originally, it was a place for him to inherit, but she felt bad because she felt like she had taken it away.
“Brother is it fine?”
“It’s your decision, so you’ll do well.”
“…No, not that.”
“What else is there?”
Heinley didn’t even seem to care. Indeed, there seemed to be no regret as much as ant tears for the business. Rather, he looked relieved, as if she had released his burden. Only then did Lilia feel at ease. Heinley, who saw Lilia’s bright face, raised one eyebrow.
“You don’t have to be conscious of me. You do it if you want to.”
It was a blunt tone, but it was the words she wanted to hear the most.
“Thank you.”
Her heart was reassured by the support of her family,
Lilia went out after a long time. She planned to purchase a painting at her father’s request. He could have asked others to do it, but Lilia and Cliff had a similar eye. Thanks to this, when Cliff was in a hurry to do something else, Lilia would go and choose paintings herself.
Lilia, who got on the carriage, was lost in thought for a moment. Recently, she rarely met Karhan. Now that he is quite self-assertive and the people around him don’t feel scared of him, she doesn’t have to meet him as regularly as before. And she didn’t make an appointment on purpose because she thought karhan would be busy.
It felt somewhat empty because they went from constantly seeing each other to not seeing each other for more than a week. Suddenly, she even thought she wanted to see him. Lilia shook her head.
I’m the one who will have to break up with him later anyway, but what if I already get attached to him?’
She thought she should keep an appropriate distance,
Lilia, who got off the carriage, headed to the gallery she had reserved. At that time, she saw two people fighting. It was a man who appeared to be the owner of the gallery and a woman in shabby clothes.
“It’s okay if it’s for a second, so look at my drawing.”
“Oh, that’s enough. Get out right now. Do you think we’re doing business by digging for people like you?”
The owner pushed the woman roughly. However, the woman begged with two legs.
“This is the last place. Please give me one more chance.”
She said she would give up if the work was not good, and the woman held out what she was holding in her arms. It was a thin and square object wrapped in cheap newspaper. It seemed that the wooden board was wrapped around a newspaper. The gallery owner threw the woman’s stuff on the floor and said,
“I’m sure it’ll be terrible without looking. What a waste of time! If you don’t get out, I’ll call the security
guard!”
He spit out, as if he was trying to get rid of something unlucky. The door closed coldly, and the woman stood
with a devastated face, bent down and picked up the wooden board that fell on the floor. With her head down, she stood there for a long time and eventually turned away.
Lilia, who watched all of it, became very uncomfortable. The gallery owner’s position was understandable. Since he is a businessman, it was natural to sell commercial works.
However, it would not be difficult, and she thought he could take a moment to look at the work. It could even be valuable work for someone, and yet he was throwing it on the floor and spitting. If her father, who respects each piece of art, saw that, he would be furious.
Standing in front of the glass door, the gallery owner who was looking to see if the woman had gone, ran out after seeing Lilia. Just now, she couldn’t help but wonder where his earlier figure went, and obviously he smiled brightly, rubbing his hands.
“I was waiting. Miss Bloden.”
Lilia looked at him blankly
“I’ll cancel my reservation.”
“Yes…?”
“I don’t think there’s anything I want to buy.”
It was obvious that the gallery treated art only as money.
“Well, I brought in a lot of good work this time…..”
The embarrassed owner wondered if he had made Lilia feel uncomfortable.
Lilia knew these people well. A person who becomes infinitely weak to the strong. At that moment, Lilia’s face hardened when she thought of Richard.
When her face, which was only soft and gentle, became cold, the owner shut up. It was because he thought that he would miss out on a very precious guest.
“N, Next time please visit us!”
He flexed and sent Lilia off. However, there would never be a person from the Bloden family visiting that gallery again.
Lilia turned right away. Not long away, she saw the back of the woman she saw earlier. Obviously, it would not have been the first time that she was beaten out the door. She would have been rejected repeatedly for her shabby clothes and unknown name.
Nevertheless, Lilia didn’t hate her persistence of knocking on the doors. She also wondered what kind of painting such a person would draw. So she wanted to give her a chance at least once.
Lilia agonized for a moment. She was worried if her actions seemed appropriate. Malek, who noticed Lilia was hesitating, quietly said,
“Your decision may be a rare opportunity for her.”
“Thank you.”
Eventually, Lilia chased the woman.
“Wait a minute.”
The woman stopped at Lilia’s call. Then she slowly turned her head. Seeing the woman’s face, Lilia opened her eyes wide. It was the woman who had hesitated in front of the museum because of the admission fee.
