Chapter 10: With Her

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Reyes slept late, but opened his eyes very early the next day.

He was in bed thinking about what happened last night and did not feel sleepy at all.

He must have had a terrible dream. How could Toya be his stepmother?

He put on his clothes and impatiently opened the door to verify if what happened last night was a dream or reality.

At that moment, Toya, who lived next door, happened to come out of her room. She closed the door and glanced at him when she heard the commotion.

Reyes’s hair was a mess and he looked a little funny.

The corners of her eyes curved as she greeted politely, “Good morning.”

The other party was stunned for a moment before closing the door with a bang and retreating back into the room.

How unfriendly.

Toya, annoyed, cocked her head.

The butler prepared milk, bread, and crisps, as well as a blueberry jam served in a small porcelain bowl.

It was very simple and common food.

Toya ate slowly and gracefully.

She was wearing a clean white dress. Her long brown hair was curled up and laid quietly on her shoulders.

Her fluffy hair was tied up with two small silver butterfly haircuts and stuck symmetrically on top of her head. She looked cute and elegant.

There were a few short strands of hair on her forehead. They were spread out lazily, but did not appear messy.

Her face was very pretty, but she always had a cold expression on her face, as if she was not interested in anything.

And he didn’t seem to care about anything.

She was like an angel who had mistakenly entered the human world and was coldly observing all the changes in the world.

An angel who was neither warm nor merciful.

Reyes, who had washed up, sat across from Toya. The butler had put his breakfast out when he saw him coming down the stairs.

He didn’t see Butler, but he wasn’t interested in his father’s whereabouts, so he didn’t ask.

He absentmindedly chewed on his bread and couldn’t help but secretly observe the girl sitting in front of him.

Their dining table was a long dining table from the Mirage series. The surface of the table was dark brown marble, and there were black textures scattered on it. The style was cold and hard, which did not match the soft temperament of a girl.

After all, it had been more than ten years since the Wilson family mansion welcomed a female owner.

It was a house with only the male owner, so naturally, the furniture was more masculine.

To everyone’s surprise, Toya didn’t seem out of place.

She seemed to have scattered a patch of snow in a barren land due to the change in weather.

It naturally integrated with the environment.

Toya looked up at him. She didn’t look happy.

“Isn’t it a little rude to look at me like that?”

If he wanted to look at her, he should just look at her openly. If he did not look at her, he should just lower his head and focus on eating. What was the meaning of looking at her every mouthful he ate?

Reyes said, …Sorry.”

Their eyes met, and he obediently put down the half-filled glass of milk.

Toya saw that he was sincere and her expression became better.

The butler, who did not have much of a presence, was surprised.

Did he hear wrongly? Young Master Reyes apologized to someone?

The young master had a bad temper. He was always arrogant when interacting with others. According to his character, it was very likely that he would say something unpleasant after Miss Toya finished her question. He was prepared for them to quarrel, but the young master actually apologized?

Even when the other party was his biological father, Butler, Reyes had never been so cooperative.

Developing the skill of not having any presence was a skill that every butler needed, so no one noticed his surprise.

They finished their breakfast in silence. It was half past eight in the morning. It was time to go to school.

The butler arranged for a chauffeur to pick them up.

Standing at the door, the butler confirmed with Toya, “Miss Toya, what time will you be back in the afternoon? I’ll arrange for the chauffeur to pick you up.”

They took two hours of classes in the afternoon, from 1: 30 to 3: 30. Most of the rest of the time they were busy with clubs and extracurricular activities. It was hard to tell exactly when.

Toya didn’t think long. “Pick me up at six, please. Sorry for the trouble.”

The butler noted down the time and politely asked Reyes, “What about Young Master Reyes?”

Reyes had a house next to the school. He’d spent most of his nights there since he’d gone to college. He rarely came home, so the housekeeper had only asked casually.

“Six o’ clock too, with her.”

“Okay, then I won’t arrange…” Your dinner.

The butler, suddenly realizing that Reyes wasn’t talking about not coming back, froze for a moment, but six o’ clock, with her.”

He quickly corrected himself. “…Other cars.”

The car arrived. Reyes and Toya sat on either side of the backseat.

The butler sent him off with a smile. He only wiped the sweat off his forehead with his white-gloved hand when the car left the villa.

As an old butler who had worked for decades, he almost made a low-level mistake.

In the future, he could not casually reply based on his own experience.

Although the owner wouldn’t mind if he answered wrongly, he wouldn’t allow his career to have such a stain.

As the butler reflected on himself, he felt strange about Young Master’s reaction..
