I Found a Husband When I Picked up the Male Lead

“Why?”

Werazel looked up at him.  Puzzlement showing on her face.

It was certain that Lapel was Chester’s nephew, but that was only known to her who had read the original. Chester was not yet convinced that Lapel was his nephew.

Then it was right for her to keep Lapel until the antidote came to determine the color of his hair and eyes.

Even more so since Chester suspects that she is a scammer.

By the way, leave the child? 

Once Lapel is revealed as his real nephew a month later, will he really give the reward?

Ha! He doesn’t listen to people properly, and  immediately suspects them.

She was even fortunate to hear apologies from him.

Just as Chester didn’t trust her, so did Werazel.

“Isn’t that child my nephew? So of course, you have to leave him.”

Chester couldn’t leave the child to Werazel. They live in a world where parents use their own children for money. Even that woman, who looks innocent on the outside, no one would suspect she would do it to her own child for money.

Additionally, aside from having a skinny body, didn’t she force the child to memorize the name Raphelion? Not knowing what else she would do to the child. He could never leave him to her, whether that child was really his nephew or not.

“It hasn’t been revealed if he’s your nephew yet. Of course I will keep him.”

“I’ll take care of him in a better environment for a month.”

They exchanged a strained look and no one is backing down.

“Lapel, who do you want to be with?”1

“No, the question now is…!”

“Lizelle!! Let’s go see grandpa!”

 Lapel hugged Lizelle’s legs without looking at anyone else.

“The child wants to be with me. But you’re forcing him to live in the duke’s house? Even though he doesn’t want it?”

She shrugged with a smirk face. Chester frowned.

The child was stuck to her legs like a cicada hanging from an old tree, as if he had no desire to change his answer.

 In the end, he also used his last resort.

 “If you don’t leave him to me, we can’t give you the reward.”

 “I beg your pardon?”

You want the kid to see you, so you threaten me with money? 

The two wildcats growled and stared at each other.

Game 2 was just about to start.

“If there is a rumor that Lady Prosier has Master Raphelion, she may be threatened.”

But thanks to Lohan who just intervened, the second game was stopped in time.

“What do you mean threat?” Lizelle asked.

“Because there are enemies everywhere who are after Halos.”

Lizelle bit her lip.

As the Lohan had said, in the original story, there were many villains aiming at the Chester’s family. It has not yet been revealed that Lapel was the real son of the former Duke, but there is still a chance that he would be threatened by Halos family’s enemies.

Maybe, as he said, it would be better for Lapel to be in the protection of the duke. 

Also, like Lohan’s words, rumors spread fast. It would be troublesome if these bad men go to the baron’s residence.

Her mind is being shaken by the reasonable argument.

Should I just get an agreement of receiving the reward and leave Raphelion?

“Lizelle…”

But Lapel would not let her leave.

He even grabbed the hem of Lizelle’s dress when he sensed that the atmosphere was getting unusual.

It was a quick judgment of the situation, not normal for a child his age.

Perhaps the last few months alone seemed to have had a big impact on Lapel.

“No….”  Lapel muttered.

Chester, who was watching the situation and seeing Werazel hesitate, said impulsively.

“Then Lapel, you can stay together with her in this mansion for a month.”

“Huh? Why would I? “

Werazel widened her eyes as if she doesn’t know the language he’s saying.

Is this man crazy? He talks nonsense.

“You don’t know what kind of threat the child might be facing outside, and the child can’t let go of you, so let’s stay together until the antidote comes.”

Chester pondered at this.

She is so wary of him that her hair stands up whenever he’s close to her, and in front of this child she acts like a gentle sheep.

Who is she really? She always changing. 

It was a bit impulsive but, as Lohan said, considering the safety of the two, this option was the best.

Her sins can be revealed slowly while living together for a month.

If it turned out that she was trying to trick me, I would never let her go. 

Unlike those commoners who have pitiful reason like having a hard time making ends meet, this baron’s young miss lived a life of luxury and is now trying to cheat him because they no longer have enough money to satisfy her vanity

If your deceit is true, I would make sure you feel how bad it is to trick the Halos and take advantage of your child as a hostage and make profit out of it.

“Think of it as a level of protection miss. As I mentioned earlier, if there is a rumor that Raphelion is in your custody, both of you may be in danger, regardless of the truth.”

Lohan, who had figured out his master’s intentions, helped him by the side.

Werazel couldn’t even refuse.

“Let’s stay together. I’ll explain it well to Baron Prosier.”

Chester leisurely folded his arms and waited for Werazel’s answer.

No, the answer was obvious without having to wait.

She has no reason to refuse the luxurious ducal house, as it was a mansion that can fulfill her greed.

Chaster stared at Werazel with arrogant thoughts in his mind.

“Then there’s nothing I can do. Please show me where I can to stay.”

Unable to leave Lapel or take him away, Lizelle finally answered, taking a breath.

It wasn’t too bad to spend a month or so at this house with Lapel. 

I could prepared for what I still didn’t know yet and in a month Lapel would have adapted to this place, so we could separate ways happily.

So I have to stay with him until then. When the antidote arrives, it will soon be revealed that Lapel is Raphelion, then I can get the reward and pay the debt. 

“Lohan, show Lady Werazel her room.”

Chaster smiled satisfactorily as if he knew she would do it .

And that’s how the three people began to live together like a dream.

Chester didn’t know at this time that he was going to fall for his own trick and for her.
