He/Heroine And My Villainess - Chapter 248

HE/HEROINE AND MY VILLAINESS

(THE JOY OF MEETING YOU)

She must not put dirt on it. Vendia looks at what the young child actions and saw her wiping her hands to her shirt that has a dirt.

She can’t help but giggle, while thinking that this young child is very considerate and full of manners, unlike the other commoners.

Vendia couldn’t help but feel entertained and comfortable with her. She grabbed the young child’s hand with no warning and shook it, making Mary flinch in surprise and exclaiming in worry.

“Ah! Oh, no! Miss! M-my hand is still dirty, “she said, panicking. She looks straight at Vendia’s face with a worry and pressured expression.

But Vendia only has an unbothered expression. It made Mary feel anxious and nervous.

Vendia obssrve her reaction for a minute then showed a gentle smile, making Mary’s worries eased upon seeing the her smile at her.

“Don’t mind it. It’s fine, my servant can clean it for me,” Vendia replied without a second thought to ease Mary’s worries, but the young child still had worries written on her face, which made Vendia feel irritated somehow.

She didn’t like seeing people she wanted to be close to looking at her with indifferent eyes, like she was different and unfit to be close to them. It made her insecure and hurt. Vendia let go of the child’s hand and said,

“How old are you?” Her voice was firm, but there was still calmness in the end. Mary looked straight at her with a pressured expression, then answered.

“Um, I’m 5 years old, y-young miss,”

“What?!” Vendia can’t help but shout in surprise upon hearing Mary’s age.

She can’t believe such a young child can already speak like an adult in front of elderly people. She felt amazed and shocked. She thought this young child was interesting.

She smiled and tried to speak further to Mary.

“Can you explain what are you selling? If you explain it well, I will buy it all,” Vendia said to the young child, making Mary’s eyes light up in delight and joy.

She had been talking and explaining her products to other people for 6 hours now, and no one seemed to still want to purchase her product.

It sapped her confidence and energy to sell. Luckily, this noble young girl came by her area and saw her. Her words made her mood light up and excited again.

It brought her drained self back to its fully charged energy.Mary didn’t waste time and immediately explained and expounded everything that she knew about her products as well as the benefits of the crops she had to Vendia, delivering out only the truth.

While she explained everything to her noble customer, Vendia could not help but be amazed at hearing the five-year-old child talking and explaining to her like she really understood and knew her product.

She was full of confidence and determination. Introducing your product to a stranger can be a very difficult process sometimes. But this little one…

Vendia can’t seem to take her eyes off the five-year-old child. She was so overwhelmed by her own amazement towards her that she could not hear the five-year-old child’s voice explanation anymore. It’s like she has been put into her own world.

She began to wonder what this young child had been through to become independent at this young age.

Even her parents didn’t let her out to meet other people without their consent. But this child is in the street talking right now, taking risk to earn money.

For what? Vendia was curious. She could not understand the young child’s perspective on life.

When Mary was finished explaining, she couldn’t help but worry because she saw the young girl in front of her having a stunned and frightened expression while looking at her.

This made Mary wonder if she had missed something or had said something sensitive on her part. Her mother always warned her that when talking to other people, they should take caution with their words so that they won’t make the other people uncomfortable and lose interest while they talk to them.

Mary can’t help but feel nervous and concern while waiting for the noble young lady who stands in front of her still wearing the same expression.

Vendia kept staring at her for three minutes. Until the butler who stood behind her called out to her.

“Young miss?” His voice was calm but deep, like a husky. Vendia heard his call and couldn’t help but jolt awake from her stunned moment and look at Mary, who was now staring at the ground while playing with her hands like she was nervous or she had done something wrong. This made Vendia sigh and say.

“Ahem! Okay, you impressed me. I will buy it all. “Sir Sebi will put it all inside my carriage,” she said, and Sir Sebi then moved to take care of the things she bought while she handed a load of money to Mary.

“Here, keep it well and don’t buy things that are not worth buying, okay?” She spoke to the young Mary, who looked at her for a split second before smiling. Her smile was filled with thankfulness and gratitude.

“Thank you for reminding me, great young miss. ” Mary replied. She was about to leave, but Vendia stopped her by saying,

“Wait!”

The young Mary looked at her, perplexed, and her eyes showed it.

“Yes, young miss?” The young Mary asked a reason for Vendia’s words, but Vendia just stood at her place, staring at the young child like she had something she wanted to request but she could not say it.

This was the first time she had met someone who made her feel at ease, and it was immediately surreal and strange to her.

It made her curious and want to spend time with this young child for a while to find out the reason why, before she goes back to Astrod land.

Her parents happened to have a business transaction on this land, and while her parents were busy doing some business with their investor and partners.

She decided to go for a stroll in the town to amuse herself and made herself out of boredom with the help of their butler, Sir Sebi. Then she found this young child who sells crops and makeup, talking to some adults like a professional business woman. It drew her attention and curiosity.

She didn’t know why, but she saw something in the young child’s eyes that made her heart feel sentimental and herself feel close to her. It’s strange.

Mary waited for her to talk, but she saw the young girl’s expression that it wouldn’t happen soon. So she just stayed put at her place and waited until she spoke.

She didn’t worry. There was no need for her to rush; there was still time before lunch and she had already sold most of the things she displayed. So it’s okay to waste time for a bit.

For fifteen minutes, the area around them became silent, and Vendia just stared at her with desperation written in her eyes. Until Vendia collected herself back to normal.

She sighed and went over to Mary’s side. She then grabbed the young Mary’s hand with no second thought or warning. They then rashly went over to her carriage. This made Mary worry and feel like something bad was about to happen.

“Um, miss? I’m sorry, but my mother is sick. I need to go home now. Could you please let go of my hand? “Mary begged, but Vendia refused to listen.

She opened the carriage door and they went in together, which made Mary scared and feel afraid as she remembered her mother’s words that she must be careful when other people offer her something and that she should not go anywhere with them.

She should stay put at her place and never listen to their tempting offer or else bad things will happen to her.

However, earlier when Mary looked at Vendia’s eyes, she could not feel anything dangerous about them except right now. Vendia looked at the young Mary and said,

“Sit and relax. I’m not going to hurt you, “upon saying such words. Mary couldn’t help but release a sigh of relief.

She didn’t know why, but she felt like she could trust this noble young girl in front of her right now. Even if her words don’t have certainty, she can’t feel that her words were all true. The young Mary went on to sit on the separate couch inside the carriage, but the couch was too high for her height, so she had a hard time climbing up.

Vendia saw her struggling to climb up and sit, so she helped her by carrying her like a baby in her arms and settling her down on the couch.

The young child Mary was surprised by her action, but she didn’t have time to react because it was too fast. She just stays put and lets Vendia do what she wants. After all, she was just helping her to sit on the couch, nothing more than that.

“I have something for you. It can help you with your business, “Vendia mentions while she gets a large size pouch that has some makeup inside.
