when it was time to go home, the rlevier couples were waiting for their son but how shocked they were when they saw their son coming with a boy in his arms

and duke aprice who saw that twitched one eye when he realized that the child kyriol was carrying was his youngest son

"l-looks like you're getting closer to young master noha" said Mr. Rlevier

his sly smile could be seen clearly, he just had to match them up then he could become a part of duke aprice's family. really very profitable

"Yeah, noha is really cute like a cat" Kyriol said

he put noha down from his arms, noha finally felt relieved but again he felt goosebumps when kyriol suddenly hugged him

"I'll come back later to play with you, okay?" Kyriol said

even though he was talking to noha but his gaze was glancing at osius as if asking for permission, of course osius face became even more gloomy

"of course riol can come here anytime to play with me" said noha

'I have to be nice to him so that this psychopath male lead doesn't kill me' thought noha

but he just then realized that he called him riol, not kyriol. noha became afraid that kyriol suddenly got angry because he cut his name

but when he glanced at Kyriol's face he instead saw a very wide smile and cheeks that looked red

'Wow, his face is red! he must be mad!!!' thought noah

kyriol wasn't mad, he was blushing! even though they were meeting for the first time but noha had called him by a nickname

'ahhh he called me riol! riol! he must be getting comfortable with me!' thought Kyriol

duke aprice who didn't want his son to get too close to the son of marquis rlevier, immediately stood in the middle of them

"I think it's time for you to go" osius said

"R-right, alright we'll go now" said marquis rlevier

the rleviers then boarded the chariot and left, now only noha and osius [duke aprice] were left

'now what should I do?' thought noha sweating

without even looking he already knew that osius was glaring at him, out of nowhere osius suddenly picked him up then carried him into the mansion

'What is this? shouldn't you hate me?' thought noah

without him noticing he kept looking at osius's face the whole way

"You are so light, are you eating properly?" Osius said

Instantly Noha felt goosebumps when he heard Osius' cold voice. it made noha look down and think again whether he made a mistake

Noha does eat on time but the portion he eats is very small, seeing Noha who looks down without answering his question makes Osius think that Noha is not taken care of properly

"Ah little brother it turns out you are here!" shouted amon

Osius stopped his steps and Amon quickly took Noha from his arms

"Your little brother can't suddenly disappear like that" said Avion

He was indeed angry when he didn't see his little brother but when he saw Noha's cute face he wasn't angry anymore

"at least now we've found you, let's play for a while while waiting for dinner time" said amon

Amon went carrying Noha in a bridal style, Avion glanced at the duke, he bowed in greeting then went to catch up with his two younger siblings.

when he saw that his three sons were far away, osius called a butler named "siyun"

"Call the maid who takes care of my child, Noha, to my office," said Osius

"Okay sir" he said bowing

With that, Osius went to his office and Siyun went to look for Ardia

Ardia was dripping with sweat when she saw Osius who was sitting in his office chair with a very cold gaze directed at her

"Has my son Noha been eating properly all this time?" Osius said

his voice alone could make anyone who heard it feel an immense aura of intimidation

"of course young master noha eats on time but lately he's been eating less than usual" said ardia

it made osius wonder because usually noha has a big appetite and that's why he has to go on a strict diet

"Has he been eating a lot of sweets lately?" Osius said

"no sir duke, young master noha didn't even touch the cake given by master avion and amon. according to what young master avion said before, he was like that because of a diet that was too strict and didn't dare to eat sweets for fear you would be angry" said ardia

for a moment osius was silent, he felt his heart stabbed, imagining his child who used to eat a lot had to endure himself and feel hungry just because he didn't want to make him angry made osius disappointed in himself

"Any more changes from Noha?" Osius said

"Yes sir, after the failed suicide incident, young master Noha became very quiet, it seems he is still traumatized," said Ardia

suddenly his heart was stabbed even more when he realized that at a time like this he should be beside noha to make the child feel better, that's the job of parents

moreover he remembered when his beloved wife died, he never once visited noha or held him. it turns out that all this time without realizing he has become the worst father

Osius got up from his seat and saw his three children walking together in the garden through his office window

he had no experience with children because amon and avion had matured before their age but he knew that can't be a reason to ignore noha

'Ah...my beloved son...it turns out that all this time I have been a bad father for you' thought Osius

"Ardia, tell the head chef to make all of Noha's favorite dishes," said Osius

Ardia just smiled and then left Osius office

"from now on I will pay more attention to you and correct all the mistakes that I have done to you" thought osius

how surprised noha was when he saw the dining table filled with lots of various kinds of dishes, even though there were only 4 people who were going to have dinner!

"Noha, sit here beside daddy" Osius said

Noha was silent, he was really surprised by the change in Osius' demeanor, which was cold before, suddenly turned warm

"no! we want noha to sit with us!" shouted amon and was returned a nod by avion

Osius was silent, not listening to the words of the twins and his gaze only focused on Noha, who was feeling increasingly uncomfortable

suddenly noha released himself from the twins and sat on the chair beside osius, seeing that made the twins speechless

'This is better than having to sit between that two psychopathic twins, who know if they secretly put poison in my food' thought Noha

the twins with sullen faces sat in their chairs which were on osius right while noha seats were on osius left, they started having dinner

noha only ate very little even though there was a lot of food in front of him

'I'm getting full' thought Noha

Seeing how little Noha eats makes Osius can only be silent thinking about his son who has really changed

'Is my choice to make him go on a diet, wrong?' thought Osius

the atmosphere feels very tense because it's very quiet, usually noha is the one who often makes the atmosphere feel alive by trying to chat with them but now noha is not the noha they know

"Hey little brother how about we play together tomorrow!" said Avion

noha just replied with a nod and the atmosphere was gloomy again, thus dinner took place very quiet

after finishing dinner, ardia escorted noha to his room to sleep while avion and amon joined osius to his office to discuss something
