I Accidentally Saved The Male Lead's Brother

“Woo!”

Danny sighed as he looked at the soup the maid had brought. Irina tied a handkerchief around Danny’s neck and made him hold the spoon in his little hand.

Theo looked at Charlotte watching the scene.

“Theo too!”

“Yes, Theo let’s do this too.”

Charlotte also wrapped the handkerchief around Theo’s neck, and Theo laughed out loud as he pulled the handkerchief with both hands.

“Danny, look, I did that, too.”

“We are both the same!”

The boisterous laughter of two children filled the spacious dining room without a single gap.

Charlotte put the spoon in Theo’s hand and then started eating the soup. Theo imitated it and started chatting with Danny.

When Charlotte took the bread and when she held the spoon he was holding the spoon too.

When he tried to eat salmon salad topped with a refreshing lemon sauce, I stopped him because he wanted to take a big bite.

“Theo, you can’t eat that much at once. You have to cut it up and eat it.”

Charlotte used a knife to cut smoked salmon and salad greens onto Theo’s plate to fit the baby’s mouth.

Grabbing a bladeless butter knife instead of a sharp one, Theo made a strange, incomprehensible sound and murmured at the salmon.

Danny, who was watching him from the other side, also poked the knife with the head of the salmon.

Irina, who was wiping the sauce off her child’s cheek, touched her cheek with a puzzled look on her face.

“I think children like playing rather than eating.”

“Yes. However, I think Theo is eating more than usual because he and Danny are eating together. Isn’t it, Theo?”

“Yes!”

Charlotte smiled lightly and took the butter knife from Theo’s hand.

It is not yet time to teach Theo manners, but he should still know that he shouldn’t play with food.

“Theo, don’t play with food, but eat it.”

Theo, who reached out to take the butter knife, grabbed the fork and started eating the salad at Charlotte’s earnest voice.

Also, Danny lost his Butter Knife to Irina and focused on food.

Thanks to Charlotte speaking to the chef beforehand, today’s lunch was nutrient-packed.

Especially protein and vegetables. After the soup, the main menu was steak with different grilled vegetables.

Roasted eggplant, tomatoes, asparagus, boiled peas and even corn.

It was great to see the colorful vegetables and even the chef’s choice of colors.

“Here .”

When Charlotte reached out to cut Theo’s steak, he picked up the peas.

“I will not eat this.”

The child dropped a pea on the table and picked up the corn.

“I love that .”

Then he put the corn in his mouth. And Charlotte brought him a steak.

“You have to eat this to grow taller.”

Theo shook his head, and ate another corn. Danny, who was listening to the conversation between the two of them, put the peas in his mouth.

“I can eat this.”

Danny’s arrogant expression seemed to mock him, saying, “You can’t eat this, right?” Theo picked up the peas, puffing and pouting while looking at Danny’s lips as he chewed the peas hard.

“Theo can eat this too!”

However, the moment he put the pea in his mouth, Theo’s face wrinkled as if he had taken a bitter medicine.

The child chewed the peas three times and emptied the cup of juice into his mouth. There was no trace of the peas in Theo’s mouth.

Charlotte pushed the plate of meat in front of Theo.

“Wow, even Theo eats peas so well!”

“Yes!”

Excited by the compliment, Theo shrugged and stabbed the piece of meat with a fork.

“As expected, kids eat well when they’re with friends.”

A method often used for young picky eaters. Normally, if they had siblings, they would eat as if they were competing with each other, but Theo didn’t have siblings his age, so his pickiness wasn’t easy to fix.

No matter how many times Charlotte ate vegetables, he brushed it off saying, “That’s because you’re an adult.”

‘He should be eating with Danny from now on.’

Charlotte vowed to do so and began cutting steaks. Since then, the meal has gone smoothly. Whenever Charlotte looked at Theo during the meal, little by little the vegetables on his plate disappeared.

The corn was eaten first, and the pea eating speed was lower, but the peas disappeared one by one.

Charlotte was then surprised by Theo, who smiled suspiciously when he made eye contact with her.

Charlotte hid her right hand behind her back and looked at Theo’s smiling face.

‘Why is he laughing?’

When she suddenly had a strange idea and lowered her gaze, she was able to figure out why.

The pea she thought had disappeared inside Theo’s stomach fell to the ground.

‘To Throw it off the ground!’

Theo hastily put the pea in his mouth as he looked at Charlotte narrowing her forehead.

“How is it?”

“Tasty .” He even swallowed it loudly.

Charlotte pretended not to see all this and pretended to eat steak.

And when she took a minute to turn her head, she managed to catch Theo, who tossed the peas to the ground.

“I’m sorry .”

Theo apologized after being exposed. Charlotte did not know how to discipline the child, so she sat and thought for a while.

‘Yeah, I can say he’s very picky.’

He can’t be picky about him eating evenly.

It’s a common saying for kids, but in fact, an adult Charlotte also hates some food. Not only her, but also her brothers and Baron Lannia had food that he hated.

Even adults cannot force children to eat food they cannot eat.

‘But throwing food on the floor is different.’

Perhaps Theo did this because he thought he couldn’t lose to Danny and wanted Charlotte to praise him for eating well.

I understand, but I just couldn’t let it go. Clearly throwing away food is wrong.

“Theo, don’t throw away the food.”

“mm…”

“The farmer raised these peas preciously, and the chef worked hard to cook for Theo. But you can’t get rid of them.”

“I won’t do that from now on.”

Although he was answering steadily, it seems that Theo did not fully understand Charlotte.

In fact, Theo was young to realize the importance of food, and think about the hard work of a farmer and chef.

Charlotte, who was thinking about how to teach Theo the importance of food and the importance of not being selective, smiled at him slightly.

I just remembered a good way.

***

A few hours later, after Irina and Danny left the mansion, Charlotte visited Robert . It was because she needed his help to implement the idea she thought earlier.

However, Robert, who had heard Charlotte’s story, showed signs of confusion.

“I don’t think that’s something I can decide, miss.”

In short, it was said that consent must be obtained from Carcel, the owner of the mansion.

“I will ask the master when he comes back.”

“No, I will ask him myself.”

Robert, who is so good at managing facial expressions, showed no reaction, but Charlotte somehow sensed that he was thinking, “Why are you doing that?” So she added for no reason.

“It’s about Theo. I’m the one looking after Theo right now, so I’d like to ask myself and hear the Duke’s opinion.”

“Yes .”

Charlotte, who had returned from meeting Robert, waited for Carcel to return.

However, Carcel did not return until Theo slept, who had dined and was doing puzzles in the room and listened to a fairy tail.

‘Why didn’t he come today?’

Carcel would stay outside about once or twice.

‘It’s not urgent, so I’ll tell him tomorrow.’

It’s time to change pajamas with this in mind.

She thought she had heard the neighing of a horse outside and the sound of light footsteps outside.

Charlotte tied the back lace tightly and headed for the hallway. However, when I went down to the first floor, it was Robert, not Carcel.

“Isn’t the duke here?”

“He went to the office at once because he had some work left.”

Do you want me to guide you? Charlotte, who refused Robert’s offer, headed alone to the third floor.

At night, there was no one in the hall on the third floor, which was only used by the Heinst family.

Candles were lit in several places, but the hall was still dark.

It was dark, so she couldn’t see Carcel’s office door very well, but it was easy for Charlotte to find.

There was a room where the light leaked dimly.

Charlotte, trying to knock on the door casually, remembered late that it was night. It’s still too early for bed, but it’s time for Theo to fall asleep.

If she was his real fiancée, it was time for Charlotte to visit Carcel.

Charlotte stood at the door for a moment and tortured herself.

‘What should I do ?’

I’ve already talked about the Rosito in the library with Carcel at night. So it was not difficult to visit Carcel now.

But would Carcel think that way? Perhaps on the day she asked him to explain to her in the library, she was bothering him.

However, it was fine because she visited him last time because of the important ‘Rosito’ story.

But how is it today? It’s important to correct Theo’s picky eating, but it was not a topic of urgency compared to the Rosito.

Is it right to go to someone and disturb their sleep just because of this issue?

‘It’s not in a hurry, let’s talk next time we meet.’

When Charlotte came to that conclusion and was about to leave. She heard the door handle turn and the door opened.
