Chapter 3 (2/2)

When the scale of her business reached the empire beyond the Kingdom of Hautean, Isadora—who used to be a commoner—had been misunderstood as having bought her husband with gold because she wanted to be a noblewoman.

“…Mother.”

Lara murmured.

Her voice was so small that it did not even reach Konny who was next to her, let alone Isadora.

She was afraid.

Although Lara was always the one who turned away and hated her mother, she was afraid that her mother would react the same way. If she could, she wanted to beg for forgiveness for all the mistakes she had done in the past. But thinking that her mother did not know anything, she felt even more guilty.

In the meantime, Isadora had already arrived in front of the carriage. Isadora threw her heavy bag into the carriage, grabbed her skirt, and put one foot on the foothold. Looking from behind, she did not seem to have any lingering feelings left.

‘No.’

Lara decided not to hesitate any longer. If she let her mother go like this, she would regret it once again.

“Mother!”

Lara began to run. Like Isadora, she grabbed her skirt and ran without hesitation towards her.

“Milady!”

Konny was surprised and called out to Lara. All the servants who were carrying the luggage were looking at her. Isadora was almost on the carriage.

“Mother, wait!”

Lara arrived before the door closed when Isadora had just lifted her right leg from the foothold. In a hurry, Lara did not even realize what she had grabbed. She only thought to block the door from being closed.

Of all things, she just had to grab Isadora’s right foot with both her hands. The soft socks and hard shoes were in Lara’s hands. Clinging to her mother’s foot, Lara’s face flushed red in an instant. It was an absurd moment, even for Isadora, whose leg was caught. As she tried to get into the carriage, she turned her head back to check Lara’s face and lifted her thin eyebrows.

“…Lara?”

Why are you here?

Why are you holding on to my leg?

Lots of questions could be seen on Isadora’s face.

I was wrong.

Please don’t abandon me.

I will get my act together and listen to you.

So please don’t go and stay with me.

Lara was going to say that. She thought that was the correct answer. But at that moment, she suddenly had another thought.

Should I really hold onto her?

Is this the correct thing to do?

This was something that mother has been thinking about for a long time, so is it okay to act as I please like this?

Has there ever been a moment where mother was happy in this house?

Lara shook her head. No matter how hard she thought about it, this did not seem to be the correct answer. She had sworn to change. She was determined to correct the wrong things. Even though she was lucky to return to when she was 19 years old, she was still an adult who had already lived for 28 years.

So she had to find a better way.

“Mother.”

There was something that Lara really wanted to say to her mother after she came back to the past. She thought about when and how to bring it up, but there was no need to think about it anymore.

The perfect time was now.

“Get a divorce from father.”

Lara said.

How unhappy it must have been for two people who hated each other to need to live in the same house and had to face each other every day. Lara knew how terrible her father was. And now that she knew her mother’s choice was right, she wanted to help her mother get away from her father. At the very least, she did not want to be a shackle to her mother.

So she said it firmly.

“Get a divorce.”

Isadora did not give her answer. She was just squinting and observing Lara’s face for a long time.
