Chapter 31

Saying that was not a lie. So far, I’ve fed him milk and butter and he was still fine. Now, he’s even eating meat. ‘The child ate so well…’ Seeing Leon happily eating the meat made Pia even more angry. What the hell was that evil man doing to his child? What kind of cruel thing did he do? ‘You can’t stay like this.’ I wanted to make Leon happy. And she herself didn’t want to die here. ‘The previous tutors must be buried somewhere in this place. I guess.’

After he gets bored with me, he’ll kill me and bury me here somewhere, and then I’ll bring a new tutor afterwards. That evil man must be stopped right now. “Eat some more.” Pia put the meat left on her plate to Leon’s plate. Leon has already eaten half a cup of milk, a piece of butter, and more than half of the steak. So is that so? His hair also felt more shiny. Today was a good day.

‘If he eats well and sleeps well, what a beautiful child he will become. A child who can be happy enough even if neglected like this……. Henry Dale and the employees of this mansion were not enough even to be punished. “But, teacher….” “Why?” “The snowman is broken.” “yes? Who would break it?” “This is a secret……’” Leon looked around and Pia leaned her ear close to Leon. Then the child whispered softly. “I saw my dad smash the snowman last night.” “Last night?”

My father does not like someone knowing it.” “No way.” Pia was very surprised inside, but pretended she wasn’t surprised at all. “Everyone in this house hates me. I know it. The only person who loves me is my teacher.” I wonder how lonely and difficult the child felt saying this. “Teacher. Will you continue to live with me? You won’t leave right?” “Of course. I’m always by your side.
