“You’ve been… You’ve been taken care of.”

My mother’s face changed subtly.
She looked happy but somehow looked sick.

“Mom, are you sick?”

“Huh?”

“Your eyebrows were wrinkled.”

“My heart hurts a little.”

“Why? Does it hurt a lot?”

I hurriedly put my ears on my mom’s chest.
Boom, boom.
I could hear the sound of her heart beating loudly.
If it was not here, did something else hurt?

“No, Bebe.
It doesn’t mean it hurts.”

“Then what?”

“It’s the first time you’ve been taken care of since your dad passed away.”

“Oh… I see.”

I hugged my mom.
Mom’s scent permeated the tip of my nose.
Her heart raced, and I felt better.

“Maybe this is the best place for you, Bebe.”

“Yes! Not me, but us! For Mom and me.
This is our home.”

“But my mom is just Bebe’s mom.”

“Umm…”

“Well, I welcome my stepmother.
You can be everyone’s mom, not Bebe’s mom.”

At that time, Allen, who was sitting in front and chewing vegetables like a foal, raised his hand.

“Huh?”

“I feel bad for my dad.
After my mother passed away… he lived like an abandoned person.
If he didn’t have money, he would have lived wandering on the street like a beggar.”

Maybe the vegetables weren’t tasty, but my older brother slowly moved his mouth.

‘I’ve seen an animal like that somewhere… as if he was about to spit.
Not a pony, but a camel.’

“Anyway, that’s why I agree with you as my stepmother.”

However, as my brother agreed, my heart tickles somewhere.

My mom was my own mother, but she could also be someone else’s mother.
Thinking about my mom holding him in her arms saying ‘My son’ made my skin tingle with goosebumps.

‘She’s my mom…’

The thought was quickly over.

“I’m against it!”

“Huh?”

“Mom becomes everyone’s mom, but she doesn’t want to be with Daddy!”

“Why, Bebe? Isn’t it a good thing?”

“No, it’s because you don’t know.
Dad… He has a bad temper! He looks like a crazy person! That’s why you can’t.
Only be my Mom! He is eliminated as your husband!”

I was definitely not trying to monopolize my mom.
It’s just that the Grand Duke would probably not like being my mom’s husband.

At that time…

“…Is my personality that bad?”

When he came in, the Grand Duke stood near the door.
He even spoke in a sullen voice.

“Huh…? When did you get here?”

“… Earlier, I was waiting because you were eating.”

Unlike before, my father’s face was not good.

“D-Do you want to eat with me…”

He got up from his seat in a hurry and grabbed the Grand Duke’s hand.
I don’t know what it was, but I think it was because I had something to do with it.

Maybe it’s because his expression was so sullen.

“No.
Let’s eat together… comfortably.
I’ll be here.”

“All right…”

And my mother, who was watching us, got up from her seat and tried to approach us.
However, on the outside, she looked okay, but my mother had no strength in her legs because she had been lying down for a long time.

So this time, I stumbled like before.

Perhaps he thought it was strange to see him looking awkward, but the Grand Duke approached my mother.

“If you’re tired, you don’t have to move.”

“Oh… I wanted to say thank you first, but I’m not feeling well yet…”

“It’s okay.
I’ve been helped a lot by Bebe, so you don’t have to say thank you.”

Allen quickly pulled a chair and put it behind my mother.

“If you have something to say, let’s sit down and talk.”

“I’m sorry.”

“I would’ve said there was nothing to be sorry about.”

The Grand Duke would have been talking as usual, but my mother’s body flinched momentarily.

Perhaps he felt it, but the Grand Duke bit his lips.

“I think what Bebe said is right.””

“What?”

“Huh?”

“I didn’t know, but I think I have a bad temper.””

Was it because of what I said? I didn’t think so, but he looked quite serious.

There were two straight lines of wrinkles between his handsome eyebrows.

“…I thought someone would say no if I said this.”

Only then did I realize the situation and quickly waved my hand.

“No.
It’s not that bad.
Just… a little bit… It’s a little bad.”

“… That’s more hurtful.
What’s the bad thing?”

“Yeah, as my mom’s husband, it’s bad, but Dad is a good person… probably…”

As I was struggling, Allen, who was sitting next to my mother, shook his head hard.

“I agree with Bebe.”
