‘ah….’ 

  

Charlotte had no idea what the situation was when she asked  Carcel to pretend to be asleep. Theo wanted it so it was just for a little while. 

  

But they are now on the bed lying with Theo between them. 

  

‘We look like a couple.’ 

  

Her cheeks were flushed red, and Carcel who had been avoiding her eyes was now staring at her. 

  

His purple eyes shimmered in the dim candlelight. It was more transparent and dazzling than the blue diamonds he had given Charlotte. 

  

It looked like he was sucking her into his eyes with this look, she felt like he was devouring her with his looks. 

  

She stared at him, and Charlotte lowered her head slightly because she suddenly realized that they were in the same bed. 

  

Out of embarrassment, she patted Theo on the stomach. Carcel followed and patted Theo on the stomach. 

  

In the different pat, the tips of the fingers met, they met only for a moment but her fingers were so hot. 

  

My heart started pounding. And somewhere inside my stomach, I felt a tickling as if there were butterflies fluttering inside. 

  

Theo’s breathing began to slow down little by little until it completely calmed down. 

  

In the quiet room, only the breathing of the three could be heard. Charlotte held her breath as if worried Carcel might hear her labored breathing. 

  

Carcel opened his mouth and broke the silence. 

  

“Charlotte.” 

  

“N-Yes?” 

  

My voice came out strange because I was embarrassed. I’m like an idiot. Charlotte bit her lips tightly as she felt pity for herself. 

  

Carcel, who didn’t miss a beat, approached her. The distance between the two became a little closer. 

  

Carcel is right next to Theo when he can’t get any closer to Charlotte because of the baby and leans his head close to her. 

  

Charlotte closed her eyes tightly, not knowing what to do. She completely held her breath. 

  

I was obviously closing my eyes, but I felt like I could see Carcel’s face in front of my closed eyes, so my eyes were rolling. 

  

At that time, I felt a hard forehead touching my forehead and the tip of my nose touching the tip of his nose. 

  

Carcel grabbed Charlotte’s hand, which was on Theo’s stomach. 

  

Everywhere Carcel touched became hot. No, not only the place he was touching, but her entire body became hot. 

  

I’m worried my body might explode at this rate. 

  

He called Charlotte’s name again. 

  

“Charlotte.” 

His hot breath irritated Charlotte’s lips. She closed her eyes tightly. 

  

I couldn’t open my eyes. This was because I wasn’t sure what expression Carcel would make if I opened my eyes. 

  

Why is it so close? As if we were going to kiss each other any minute. 

  

However, it still hovered within close distance of touching lips.His breath continued to tickle Charlotte’s lips. 

  

Carcel slowly rubbed Charlotte’s backhand with his thumb. 

  

at that time. 

  

“Ah, sister!” 

  

Theo spoke in his sleep, Carcel quickly let go of Charlotte’s hand. I could clearly feel him getting out of bed. 

  

I especially heard his quick footsteps. Only after he quickly opened and closed the door was she able to open her eyes. 

  

Charlotte’s face, as she carefully touched her lips, was red as a tomato. 

  

*** 

  

Theo has been angry since the morning. It was because his brother had disappeared when he woke up. 

  

‘He said he’d sleep with me, but brother left.’ 

  

Theo pursed his lips as he thought about the empty place for his brother. 

  

Charlotte sister embraced him warmly, but his brother’s place was cold. What Theo wanted was to sleep happily with his older brother and sister. 

  

Besides, Carcel said he had work today and skipped breakfast. Charlotte and Theo are the only people eating at the restaurant. 

  

It was only natural for Theo’s lips to pout like a duck when he saw Carcel’s empty seat. 

  

“I hate brother.” 

  

“Yes .” 

  

Charlotte replied somewhat rudely. She had a mess in her head about what happened with Carcel last night. 

  

‘What on earth was he going to do?’ 

  

There was only one answer in Charlotte’s mind, a mature adult who had read a lot of romance novels before coming here. 

  

And the moment she remembered it, Charlotte thought maybe Carcel’s feelings were deeper than she could have imagined. 

  

When she thought about it, she couldn’t bear to see Carcel at all. 

  

How can this man be so calm when he’s trying to kiss her? 

  

Rather, if she loved him, everything would have a happy ending, but Charlotte’s mind had not yet reached that stage. 

  

Can Charlotte give him a positive answer? Oddly enough she couldn’t give him a negative one either. It was true that she gets excited every time she sees him. 

  

I couldn’t tell if this was because I had never met the opposite sex before or if this was just a reflexive reaction. 

  

In this case, if Carcel had admitted that he was interested in her, the relationship would not have remained the same as now. 

  

“Ah, what do I do?” 

  

Charlotte buried her face in her hands. Theo, who was anxiously complaining about his older brother, grabbed Charlotte’s hand. 

  

“Sister, what’s going on?” 

  

“It’s because of your brother.” 

  

“Is that right? It’s because brother left too!” 

  

Theo reacts in a strange place, happy that Charlotte is getting along with him. 

  

Charlotte left the child alone, misunderstanding the situation however he wanted. 

  

*** 

  

After that, Carcel continued not to appear at the restaurant. 

  

The staff were concerned about Carcel’s sudden absence, but this time Charlotte did not visit him. She wasn’t sure she could see him. 

  

It seemed like it would be best for each other not to see each other’s faces until we both made up our minds. 

  

This was the third day since Carcel had not been to the restaurant. 

  

Ticktock, ticktock. 

  

Theo, who was supposed to be taking a nap, gets berserk again and visits Carcel’s office. 

  

“Brother!” 

  

As soon as he opened the door, the child’s loud voice was filled with resentment towards his older brother. 

  

Carcel, who was lost in thought, rose up in astonishment. He looked at Theo’s cheeks, swollen like a blowfish this time, and asked, guessing. 

  

“Did the wizard take Charlotte’s hand again?” 

  

After asking this question, he realized what he was saying and covered his eyes with his palm. 

  

‘Looks like I’ve gone crazy.’ 

  

Meanwhile, Theo answered. 

  

“no!” 

  

Carcel felt relieved after that word. 

  

I’ve only heard Charlotte’s name, but I’m getting really excited. This was not like me. 

  

This has been happening since Theo and Charlotte had been put to bed a few days earlier. 

  

A few days ago, seeing the rain falling, he headed to Theo’s room. It was because he was worried that Theo might tremble with fear. 

  

Since childhood, Theo was afraid of rainy days, especially days of thunder and lightning. 

  

But once inside, I was a little confused to see Charlotte in her pajamas. His face and ears became hot. 

  

He looked around and tried to leave the room to escape the situation. Theo grabbed his hand and couldn’t get out. 

  

What made him even more embarrassed were Charlotte’s words that came close. 

  

–Please wait for Theo to sleep. I think Theo wants to be spoiled because he’s afraid of thunder and lightning. 

  

She was wrapping herself in the blanket, but it was hard to look at her in her pajamas. 

  

But do should stay here for a while? This doesn’t look right. 

  

However, as if possessed, he followed them both to the bed. Perhaps it was evident that he had gone mad at the door because Charlotte’s breath tickled his sensitive ear. 

  

Theo sang excitedly, but Carcel’s ears couldn’t hear a single sound of Theo’s. 

  

All he could hear was Charlotte’s breathing. The sound of light breathing, which was regular, began to become more and more disturbed. 

  

His gaze was drawn to Charlotte’s lips. Thoughts that had previously tormented him before filled his mind again this time. 

  

I want to kiss those lips, I was thirsty. If I kiss this mouth, will this thirst that torments me so terribly be quenched? 

  

So he impulsively approached Charlotte. I pressed her beautiful forehead with mine and my nose touched hers. Now what is left is the lips. 

  

— Ah, sister. 

  

If Theo hadn’t spoken at that time, I don’t know if I would have really kissed her.
