The Heroine has Her Eyes on Me as Her Brother’s Wife - Chapter 26

Warning: For all the readers who are feeling very much single right now, tread through this chapter cautiously…

I stared at him blankly, forgetting that I had to act cute.Did you get tricked? Truly?“It looks a little odd, though.”Noelier smiled languidly and tickled my chin.“It’s cute, Zion, just as you said.”A dog.He added strength to his last remark. It was confusing, but there was no indication of a lie in his red eyes when he said it.He really seemed to think of me as a dog.It was very fortunate, but at the same time, my pride was hurt.‘I’m a wolf. Why is my life like this?!’But if I could live, this was nothing.I looked up at him with eyes shining. My tail softly wagging was a bonus.Noelier covered his mouth with his hands as though suppressing a burst of laughter.I, who had transformed into a wolf or a dog, seemed very cute.Meanwhile, Rachel was looking at her brother with a perplexed expression on her face. Noelier’s smile was still visible. Rather, he looked up and made a face asking if there was a problem.He turned to me again.“You don’t have to go this far…”Noelier smiled softly, blurring the end of his words.Maybe it was because I turned into a wolf, but his hand stroking my nape and the heat from his body had made me feel tired.Oh, just when I was feeling good, somebody lifted me up.“…It’s mine,” Rachel said, taking me into her arms.I was uncomfortable being held as a dog or a wolf, so I struggled a few times.“I like dogs, too!”“I can’t give it to you.”Rachel, who had answered Zion’s words, went straight into bed. It meant she didn’t want her dog to be taken away.“I’m sleepy. I’m going to bed.”“Then I’ll sleep with you!”Zion followed Rachel and dug into the blanket, saying that he would also play with the dog.“You’re sleepy? All of a sudden?”At Noelier’s amused voice, Rachel nodded like a stubborn child.“Yes, I’m sleepy.”

Soon, it was dark again.Noelier gazed silently at the dark winter forest, and moved toward the cottage. As he carefully opened the door, the sound of colorful breathing and burning firewood cut through.The children were wandering through the dreamland with angelic faces. Noelier changed the children’s posture so that they wouldn’t feel uncomfortable sleeping.“……”The end of his gaze was on Eve who was sleeping soundly.Before he knew it, Eve had turned back into a human again.Was her cold gone?Besides that, she must have been surprised that she had suddenly turned into a beast.Suddenly, a silver tail wagging gently came to his mind. The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.Who wouldn’t know when she was so obvious?Laughter kept leaking out.He covered his mouth with his hand as if no one could see it. However, the lips that could be seen between his fingers still drew a smooth curve.“…You didn’t even have to do that.”Noelier muttered to himself.‘Am I that scary?’When he thought of that, his lips that had drawn an arc slowly sank down.He carefully fiddled with Eve’s hair. Soft texture wrapped around his fingertips. Unlike his friendly touch, Noelier’s eyes contained Eve to the point of tenacity.
