Chapter 3
“Sister.”
The one tip of DeHeen’s lips curled up. That alone made the air around him cool.
“What do you mean?”
“Sister, literally. Hans and Sebastian all have sisters, but we do not have.”
Judy kept grumbling and sulking.
“Is that the reason?”
DeHeen sighed deeply as he gripped his forehead. Although it is not a couple of days that Judy plays too much, this kind of play went too far.
“It’s pathetic. When on earth are you going to have something to lose sight of? Are you playing this trick on your father who’s away from home for work?”
The angry voice of DeHeen rose at once. The green eyes turned darker than before, and anyone who received them could have flinched.
Judy pouted his mouth and looked away.
“That’s fine. I knew you wouldn’t listen to me anyway. You only like Dennis.”
“What? What’s that….?”
“Have a good trip.”
DeHeen, who was embarrassed by Judy’s words, took a breath. Judy’s acknowledgement is usually quick even though he is mischievous.
Knowing that, DeHeen thought an apology for Judy’s mistake would come after. However, Judy’s remarks were unfamiliar.
‘Aren’t you kidding me?’
DeHeen’s heart weakened by Judy’s drooping look. He coughed and soothed his soft voice.
“Judy, if you need a servant, I’ll get you. But not sister.”
“Why?”
“You don’t have a mother.”
DeHeen’s wife, who was the mother of twins, dies shortly after birth of twins from a serious illness. DeHeen, who loved her with all his heart, has stayed away from women since her death.
“So why?”
Judy shrugged as if he couldn’t understand.
‘What a headache.’
DeHeen fell into trouble as he touched his chin. He didn’t have a good position or situation to explain in detail how the child was born.
DeHeen, who was in trouble, turned to Dennis.
“Dennis, you’d understand, wouldn’t you? Why you can’t have a younger sister?”
Dennis, who is always close to books, was familiar with the world. He thought Dennis would know what to do to have a child.
Dennis lifted his glasses and blinked as his gaze looked at him. After a while, he said his opinion in a calm tone as if the calculation had been completed.
“It’s not that there’s no way out. We can adopt.”
“What?”
DeHeen’s eyebrows raised at the unexpected answer.
“Even without a mother, if you adopt, you can make a sister.”
Dennis’ voice was also mixed with subtle expectations.
“Dennis, …… Do you also want to have a sister?”
DeHeen asked with unbelievable look.
“Well, actually, I’m curious too.”
Oh my god.
That answer made deep lines on DeHeen’s forehead. The shocked green eyes deepened endlessly.
“Tell me why all of a sudden you feel like having a sister. What happened to you?”
Judy came back to life when DeHeen seemed to listen seriously. At this point, he raised his voice where he even tiptoed.
“You know Sebastian, right? He got a sister. But because of her sister, he doesn’t come even when I call him.”
Actually, Judy didn’t think he needed a sister until recently.
The world was full of amusement. Sometimes, when he was bored alone, he enjoyed playing with his twin brother, Dennis. Then, when he wanted to bully someone, he called Sebastian.
The stupid and powerful Sebastian was a better opponent to play with, He was a living toy who will do everything as he was told so. But since his sister was born, Sebastian has changed.
When Judy called, Sebastian, who had been running excitedly whenever he called him, started to pull out excuses. Then he finally declared that he would no longer play with the twins.
‘Are you really going to be like this? What’s good about blood.?’
‘It’s not blood. You don’t know what a sister is, do you?’
‘I don’t care if I don’t know. Sebastian, if you keep acting like this, I won’t call you again.’
‘I don’t care. I have a younger sister. You don’t have it.’
The experience of being rejected by Sebastian was a tremendous shock to Judy.
‘What’s so proud of having a younger sister?’
Judy poked his lips. He still hasn’t forgotten Sebastian’s lush face. He wanted to crush Sebastian, who boasted that he has a sister that Judy doesn’t have.
“Father! I’ll listen to you very will from now on. I’m not going to joke around, so can you make me a younger sister?”
In addition, Dennis joined in and added a few words.
“I’ll give up <The Voice of God>, too. Can’t you?”
It was very meaningful for Dennis to give up his new book that was limited edition. When not only Judy but also Dennis came out like this, DeHeen can no longer ignore it.
‘I was too indifferent.’
The anticipated eyes of the twins spread confusion in DeHeen’s mind. It seemed like that he was envious of another child’s younger sister because he lacked as a father.
“…. I’ll take my time to think about it.”
“You have to think about it. It’s my sister!”
“Take care, father.”
DeHeen left the mansion after receiving a strong farewell from the twins.
“Hmmm.”
He sighed and pressed his head.
“You don’t have to think too deeply. It’s always the whims of the young masters.”
