I Accidentally Saved The Male Lead’s Brother - Chapter 102

In the evening, Theo’s birthday party began. For safety reasons, only Chase and Irina were invited.

 

“Amazing .”

 

Theo blushed when he found the three-tiered chocolate cake.

 

“Sister! Choco! Theo’s Gift!”

 

Perhaps thinking of chocolate cake as his birthday present, Theo runs to Charlotte with twinkling eyes.

 

But this can’t be Theo’s birthday present. Secretly, Charlotte has prepared another present. It was a box the size of a child’s body.

 

“What is this ?”

 

“Theo’s birthday present.”

 

“Really ?”

 

Theo opened the box with even more excitement. Inside the box were plenty of toys for Theo to play with.

 

A large bunny teddy bear like Theo Bear, several baby books with bunnies, bunny-themed school supplies, toys, and more.

 

It was a gift set dedicated to Theo who loves Toto.

 

Theo said, “Ah.” He made a sound and pulled out the bunny doll. Then, with a happy face, he rubbed my cheek on the bunny doll.

 

“Toto!”

 

Looks like the doll has already been named Toto, tonight he’s going to sleep cuddling with something new.

 

Charlotte smiled sweetly, and Theo nodded to her. As Charlotte leaned back, Theo pressed Charlotte’s cheek hard.

 

“Sister, thank you! Theo loves sister!”

 

“Yeah, sister loves Theo, too.”

 

“hehe.”

 

Theo, smiling brightly, ran up to Danny holding his bunny doll, and said, “Danny, say hi!”

 

At this moment, Carcel appeared in a well-dressed suit, approached Theo, and gave him a well-wrapped gift.

 

When Theo undoes the tape, a large bunny doll emerges from it.

 

Carcel saw the bunny doll Danny was holding and had a troubled expression, but Theo quickly resolved it.

 

“Brother! There are two!”

 

The more friends, the better. Carcel patted the boy on the head, turned his head, and met Charlotte’s eyes.

 

He looked surprised for a moment, but then shook his head and greeted her, but did not approach her.

 

‘Is he still shy?’

 

No, is he really shy? Is it possible to avoid people for so long because of shyness? Is there no other reason?

 

While Charlotte thinks about it, Chase’s hired band begins to play upbeat music.

 

Theo and Danny begin to dance at will. Irina danced while holding hands with Chase, and the palace staff who attended the party also danced in pairs or threes.

 

Everyone seemed happy. Except for two people, Carcel and Charlotte.

 

It didn’t seem like Carcel wanted to dance at all, and Charlotte didn’t want to.

 

She can’t even dance with someone else and leave her fiancé, Carcel.

 

Instead, she grabbed a cocktail from the corner and started drinking. The fruit-flavored cocktails tasted so good that she drank a lot.

 

She liked the taste So, a cup, two, three, four… When she drank a few drinks, her head started spinning. She didn’t know because it was sweet, but there was some alcohol in it and it was higher than she expected.

 

‘Should I go out on the balcony to get some air?’

 

Charlotte thought about moving her feet.

 

“You’re drunk.”

 

As soon as she moved, Carcel wrapped his hands around Charlotte’s shoulders. Charlotte blinked her eyes slowly and looked at him.

 

Carcel had been avoiding Charlotte, but now he seemed reluctant to talk to her.

 

“Let’s go get some air and come back.”

 

He took Charlotte to the balcony of the house without listening to her answer.

 

Since the party was only for people they knew, they didn’t have to close the curtains. Thanks to this, Charlotte was able to see everything that was happening in the hall.

 

Charlotte only turned her head after seeing Theo having fun with Danny and Irina by his side.

 

“amazing .”

 

Charlotte let out a sound as she looked at the sea directly from the balcony.

 

“Wow, I can see the sea very well from here too.”

 

As she approached the balcony to take a closer look, Carcel hugged her waist with a troubled face.

 

“Be careful .”

 

I can be careful. But it is dangerous to swing the leg forward.

 

Charlotte took a step back from the balcony as he led her, looking out to sea.

 

The gentle sea breeze was cool, but she felt more relaxed than cold, perhaps it was because she was drunk.

 

Do I have the courage to drink? Charlotte looked at Carcel and asked sternly.

 

“Why are you avoiding me?”

 

“I am not avoiding you.”

 

“Liar, you do. You don’t come to the restaurant, and you don’t come to see Theo when I’m with him.”

 

Carcel hurriedly apologized because he had no excuse.

 

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you.”

 

“Is it because you don’t like me?”

 

“No, that can’t be true?”

 

Seeing Carcel’s quick answer, Charlotte had even more courage to ask a question she wouldn’t normally have.

 

“Then what? Were you really embarrassed to see me as Irina said?”

“……..”

 

“Why don’t you speak up again? You always shut up when you’re at a disadvantage.”

 

Charlotte felt she had already got the answer.

 

What feelings did you feel when you found out that he was ashamed because of what happened that day?

 

Charlotte looked across the hall to calm her pounding heart. This was to divert her thinking elsewhere.

 

She saw Irina who was looking at Theo and Danny with a happy face. She envied this happy face as if she didn’t have any worries in the world.

 

As if she didn’t need treasures of gold or silver because she already had Danny.

 

Love was flowing from her eyes. Charlotte begins to understand why one day Theo was so envious of Danny.

 

Charlotte imagined the look on her face looking at Theo, she couldn’t imagine because she had never looked in a mirror before, but her expression was definitely different from Irina’s.

 

It is true that she cherishes Theo and loves him very much, but Theo cannot be the first in Charlotte’s life.

 

It was different from Irina who puts Danny first before everyone else.

 

Therefore, the quick-witted Theo would have noticed the difference between Irina and Charlotte. I’m glad he doesn’t feel envious of Danny anymore.

 

But why is my heart so sad now? Charlotte bit her lip forcefully to hold back the tears that were suddenly pouring out.

 

When she looked at Irina’s face, she remembered her mother’s face that she had forgotten for a while, no, the face she was trying to forget.

 

It wasn’t Baroness Lannia’s face, but Eunha’s mother’s face, who was in Korea.

 

My mother used to look at me that way too. She loves me more than anyone in the world, and she does everything for me.

 

But what did I do for such a mother?

 

Is this due to hangover symptoms? Thoughts of self-destruction that she hadn’t had since she had gotten used to this world so long ago gripped her head.

 

Charlotte remembered the day she last met her mother before she came to this world.

 

It was a surprisingly different day than usual. Min Eunha, a college student, had been busy since morning listening to her lectures that day as well.

 

She was in the first class and had to attend a lecture, but she didn’t hear the alarm clock, so she slept a lot and was very upset.

 

— Mom, why didn’t you wake me up? You know I have a lecture this morning!

 

— You looked like you slept late at night so I wanted to sleep you a little more.

 

–I should have woken up though! At this rate, I will be late. This professor believes that attendance grades are important.

 

Of course, I knew I didn’t have to blame my mom. This was entirely my fault. I must be an adult who is able to take responsibility for my work.

 

But this was strange, I blamed my mother first. I don’t usually get angry with others. Why did you recklessly turn a blind eye to my mother so much?

 

I didn’t know why, but one thing was for sure: I didn’t feel good after being so angry.

 

So Eunha hastily put on her shoes and tried to apologize to her mother.

 

I didn’t mean to be angry at my mother.

 

She only did it because she was upset that she was late. It’s my fault I slept too much today. Sorry for the anger.

 

She was clearly trying to say that.

 

– Eunha, have breakfast and go.

 

But the words that came out of her mouth were different from the words in her heart.

 

— I’m late, how do I eat?

 

— But, at least drink something before you go.

 

— it’s late!

 

Oh, you messed up again. Even without looking back, I seemed to know what kind of faces she was making.

 

She got up early in the morning to feed her daughter and was going to make her breakfast. She’s my mom, so why do I keep getting angry with her?

 

However, since time was running out, Eunha couldn’t even apologize as she walked out of the house.

 

It was only after she ran and managed to catch the subway that she was able to send a letter of apology to her mother.

 

[Sorry for being annoying. I was tired. I’ll be back for dinner.]

 

The answer she got was like her mother’s figure.

 

[It’s been hard since morning. It’s okay my daughter. I’ll make your favorite dish for dinner.]

 

When the professor came, Eunha gave a very brief answer.

 

[Good]

 

That was the end of the conversation she had with her mother, and she thought she was going to go home in the evening to dinner.

 

If I had known it was the last conversation I wouldn’t have…
