The Villainess Is My Daughter
Afraid
Katerina Caldwell (ML's wife)
... *speechless, swallowed a little
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
Are there any objections?
Katerina Caldwell (ML's wife)
No, Kaelen.
Katerina Caldwell (ML's wife)
I will go and do my other things...
Katerina Caldwell (ML's wife)
While you can go and have fun with Jade
The way she pronounces Jade sounds odd in my ears
But I dismiss it, at first.
My wife leaves the room and I turn my attention back on Jade
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
So, Jade...
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
Long time no see
Jade Caldwell
*nodded slowly
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
...do you even know that I am your father? *joking
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
I have been at work for a long, long time...
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
You must have forgotten me already
I look down at the plate of her barely touched food before looking back at the little girl
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
Jade, call me Dad
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
Father is too formal
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
Is something wrong?
Jade Caldwell
*shook her head
I see the way she clutches at her gown nervously and I wonder who she is afraid of.
Was I a cruel father to her in the novel?
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
come here, Jade
Jade gets up off her chair and comes to me meekly
I set her down on my lap, supporting her by placing my hand on her back
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
Now, tell me what's wrong
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
Are you sick?
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
Or are you afraid?
Jade Caldwell
*shook her head
I can see the tears she is trying to suppress in her eyes
I can see the way she purses her lips tightly, trying not to spill the secrets she isn't supposed to
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
*leaned closer and whispered*
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
hold my hand if you are afraid, my daughter.
Jade Caldwell
*held his hand with both of hers, looking at him
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
*whispered* what is wrong? Who makes you so afraid, little one?
Jade Caldwell
... *shook her head
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
...okay, so how about we play the guessing game?
Jade Caldwell
*looked at him and nodded slowly
The way she clenches my hand tightly...
I can see the way she holds my hand tightly...so tight that I can see my knuckles going white
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
Is it Butler who mistreats you?
Jade Caldwell
*shook her head
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
one of the servants?
Jade Caldwell
*shook her head
I don't want to say the name because I don't want it to be true.
So I keep giving her names that I hope are the ones making her afraid
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
Your classmates?
Jade Caldwell
*shook her head fiercely
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
Your teachers?
Jade Caldwell
*shook her head again
Kaelen Caldwell (ML)
Your Mother?
