Chapter 163 - Seeking Company (3) (1/2)
Ella’s eyes were full of betrayal Jo Minjoon, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation fro at Ella Ella turned red as if she was about to cry, and after trying hard not to cry, just silently started to hug Lisa As if saying ‘I can’t do anything about this child,’ Lisa shtly as she pinched Ella’s cheek
“Don’t worry That mister is a different fairy, Tinkerbell is someone else”
“……Really?”
“Yes Really”
A mother is truly different with her child The expression she had been showing them was coht she was a stiff and difficult person, but her expression as she consoled Ella was gentle and warm
The atmosphere between the two of them lessened the tension in the room Rachel whispered in a quiet voice
“Jack At least you still have a family to make you feel warm inside”
“It’s the last treasure I have left”
“Should we start our conversation?”
Jack did not answer Rachel accepted that as his silent approval and slowly started to head towards Lisa Lisa slowly started to speak
“I can predict what you are going to say to me”
“……I assu But first, I want to start with an apology Could you accept ize to me The person you treated cruelly was my father, not me Of course, it would be a lie to say there is no hatred in hter could look kindly towards someone as cruel to her father?”
It was a calm and composed voice, however, the emotions that needed to coaze as if she had nothing to say, and ended upeye contact with Ella Ella stared at Rachel with a confused expression before starting to save her a bit of courage, along with some shamelessness
Rachel started to speak
“Yes, I’uess it’ll be difficult for you to listen to my proposal that I’m about to share with you kindly either”
“Yes I don’t want to work in your kitchen However, that is not because of s, Rachel How could I trust you? You’ve already given up on a kitchen once I am a mother I don’t want to pour any of my time to someone who may disappear at any point”
Each and every one of Lisa’s words could not be refuted Standing in front of Rachel who could not respond, Lisa looked towards Jo Minjoon
“Earlier, you talked about sincerity My father was sincere just like you How can you be confident that she won’t throw you away just like she did to my father?”
“……I trust my teacher”
“I’m sure you do You haven’t been hurt yet However, I’”
Lisa wasn’t just speaking based on her e about the past and present This was the reason Rachel could not say anything about it How could she, when she had already betrayed the, there could only be one person to convince Lisa Jack started to speak Thefor ten years started to speak
“Lisa Once…how about you give her one chance?”
“……Dad Do you knohat you are saying right now? It’s been ten years You want to trust so that trust for ten years?”
“I’ her a chance A chance to clean her regret away For Rachel, as well as for et weak at those words Jack let out a sigh
“Of course, if you say no, there’s nothing to be done It’s just that I a you to fulfill the drea this store very well However, I hope that you could live more peacefully and more abundantly And if Rachel, this terrible person, does not run aith her tail between her legs again……this will end up being a great opportunity for you”
“It’ll be a great opportunity for all of us, Lisa We ate some of the bread you had out there You are as talented as your father”
Lisa bit her lower lip as she looked down at Ella She started to rub Ella’s chin as she started to speak
“I cannot close this store The custo that isa stable life”
“……Yes Of course I understand”
Rachel nodded her head with a disappointed expression At that point, Lisa was hesitating before she continued
“At dawn, I need to bake bread Once it becomes breakfast time, it should become easier to handle If it is only lunch and dinner, I should be able to go there You won’t be open in the ht?”
Rachel started to smile with a face that looked like it was about to cry
“Of course not”

“Our Ella is really drawn to Mr fairy”
Jack sently as he looked at Ella Ella started to sood grandfather-granddaughter relationshi+p If there was one issue, it would be where Ella was sitting She was not sitting on a chair She was sitting on sos but Jo Minjoon’s legs
Maybe her childish mind really believed Jo Minjoon to be a fairy, but Ella did not see Jo Minjoon’s side At the sae to talk to hie lemon pound cake in her hands (TL: Poor Amelia could have eaten that pound cake)
‘……To be okay sitting on his legs but yet having a hard ti up a conversation’
Children’s minds were always complicated in weird places Ella tore off a bit of the pound cake and put it in front of Jo Minjoon’s mouth Jo Minjoon s it to me to eat?”
Ella nodded her head and waved the cake in her hand Jo Minjoon received that cake like a baby bird and started to eat it Ella laughed shyly before turning her head and looking at Lisa Jo Minjoon sed the cake before asking
“Is Ella usually this shy?”
“It’s norends”
“Ella Do I seem like a fairy?”
“……Yes!”
Ella twisted her body before vigorously nodding her head Her hair fluttering around tickled his ar Ella started to slowly ask questions What does Peter Pan look like? Have you met Cinderella? Where is the mirror that tells you who the prettiest person in the world is? Every time she asked a question, Jo Minjoon had to become a fairy tale author and come up with a story
Rachel looked at the two of the to Jack
“I envy you You have such a wonderful fa man like a family member”
Rachel cal to Jack’s words Fa time Rachel calmly answered
“I’m thankful He’s someone who can achieve ht that there were no dreams that someone else could achieve for you, but now it is difficult to say that since in so my dream”
“Isn’t that the life of old folks like us? Putting our hopes in the next generation”
Jack had a disgruntled expression and tried to speak, but could not retort
Ella and Jo Minjoon’s discussion had at some point moved to Santa Claus Jo Minjoon asked Ella
“So Ella, are you confident that you’ll be receiving a present this Christmas?”
