I Stole the Child of My War-Mad Husband - Chapter 41
“Let go of me right now. Do you know who I am……?!”
Actually, I wanted to hit him with a bottle of wine, so I don’t stop the rabbit man.
‘Rabbit, you have a temper!’
Then, someone tapped my shoulder.
“Huh?”
When I turned around, this time there is a brown bear.
To be precise, a person wearing a teddy bear costume.
‘I also saw this bear before……’
The person inside the bear costume is also quite tall. It is as tall as the rabbit.
The brown bear pointed to the wine bottle I was holding.
“Um, can you give it to me……?”
With a slight nod, I handed him a bottle of wine.
The bear, who received the wine politely with his two hands, also bowed slightly.
‘You’re a polite bear.’
The bear gripped the mouth of the wine bottle like a club and swung it at the man whose collar the rabbit was gripping.
‘Oh, no! The bear is violent, too!’
“Hey, hey, hey! I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Oh my God!”
The face of the man, who was threatened by the rabbit and bear, turned blue in an instant.
As I was watching this scene in real-time, I was at a loss as to how to react.
This is the crime scene of animals……?
‘I take back my word that Leah will love it.’
“Urgh, I’m sorry!”
The angry rabbit shook the man by the collar excitedly.
Meanwhile, the bear turned his head towards me. Still holding the bottle of wine like a club.
“……ahaha. I didn’t see anything.”
I put on a harmless expression, and luckily the bear doesn’t seem to really care about me.
He just gestured with his big hand as if telling me to leave.
“Uh, um, thank you both for your help……”
I quickly ran away from the scene of violence between the rabbit and the bear.
***
The confidence to find Rupert first and understand the situation disappeared without a trace because of the fight between the animals earlier.
‘Let’s just stay in the corner.’
I won’t even go near the ballroom until the time is up.
The garden of Ernst’s mansion was so large.
‘There’s less than an hour left.’
Fortunately, I didn’t even see Rupert’s shadow.
I worked hard to prepare for this game.
But I couldn’t imagine seeing Rupert fervently looking for me.
‘He’s not that kind of person.’
It was also questionable if he wanted to take Leah and me to the mansion so seriously that he had to work so hard.
‘He said we are worthless.’
If I were the female lead, there would be no need to doubt this change of attitude of the male lead.
‘Unfortunately, I’m not the female lead.’
To be honest, I still doubt if Rupert’s feelings towards us are just mild possessiveness of himself.
After all, I am doubting his sincerity.
“……”
I stopped walking after thinking about many things.
The place I am now is the outside hallway leading to the garden.
I can see a well-maintained garden between the pillars. It’s a perfect place to take a walk.
‘Is there thirty minutes left?’
See? As expected, I’m going to win.
How can you find me in this wide place?
‘When the time is over, I’ll laugh at you and tell you to stamp the divorce papers!’
With that thought in mind, I started walking again, and at the end of the hallway, I saw a man.
‘Are you a servant?’
I narrowed my eyes. Lanterns are placed in the middle of the hallway, but it is difficult to see the man clearly.
“You’re quite tall……”
Two long ears protruded from the head of the man whose back to the moonlight.
It is the man in the rabbit costume earlier.
There is a stain of wine on his lips, so it is certainly him.
‘Why is a guest here?’
A rabbit I met in the dark hallway at night…… gave a creepy feeling rather than cute.
First of all, it’s a giant rabbit.
At this point, I wonder who is inside that costume.
I looked at him blankly.
Then, the rabbit man slightly bent his legs.
‘What?’
His arms are also bent, taking a running position.
At the same time, he ran towards me.
……and he rushed this way with great speed.
“Uh, ah? Whoa!?”
I turned around and started running away.
‘Why, why are you chasing me!’
A giant rabbit suddenly chasing me like crazy in a deserted hallway.
There’s no way that it’s because he’s happy to see me!
When I ran and looked back, the rabbit is chasing me tenaciously.
The feeling of intimidation is so great that the wine on his lips looks like blood.
‘I’m scared!’
Are you mad because of that wine stain!?
“Ah, sorry that I left first, I will pay for the laundry,” I shouted while running.
Then the rabbit’s speed slowed down.
Did it work?
‘You must be someone who cares a lot about your rabbit costume. That’s why you’re mad because of that stain!’
But that was just an illusion…… the rabbit ran again at a frightening speed.
“What is it, are you still mad?”
Oh, I’m really scared!
“You can remove the wine stain after washing it.”
It was useless.
The giant rabbit still ran with the tenacity to catch me.
I now have a reasonable suspicion that there may be a crazy serial killer in that cute rabbit costume.
‘I’m going to die at this rate!’
Eventually, I ran down the hallway and shouted.
“Is there anyone? There’s a rabbit chasing me! A crazy rabbit is chasing me!”
***
It was fortunate that I knew the way in advance.
I escaped somehow and hid behind the bushes in the garden.
It’s a dark place. I just hope the rabbit won’t find me.
rustle.
I heard a rustling sound around me. I couldn’t tell if it was the wind or if the rabbit was nearby.
‘What a thriller out of nowhere!’
How did this happen?
I bowed my back and moved slowly. Anyway, I have to go to a place with a lot of people.
Hiding behind a large tree, I looked around.
From a distance, I can see the rabbit ears.
That’s right.
‘You can’t see me because I’m behind a tree.’
In order to move after the rabbit passed, I crouched down and held my breath.
rustle.
rustle.
rustle.
The rustling sound stopped.
‘He left?’
I carefully raised my head.
And……
I made eye contact with the rabbit man with his head sticking out of the side of the tree.
“……”
“……”
I was so startled that I screamed a second too late.
“Ahhhhhh!”
I quickly stood up and ran away.
‘How can you move silently with that size!’
I ran frantically, losing my sense of direction.
It is right in front of the garden fence.
‘It’s a dead end!’
Too high to jump over.
As I turned my head to find another escape route, the rabbit appeared from behind.
“Ahhh……!”
I gradually stepped back.
A rabbit man with dark red stains on his lips approached me.
My back suddenly hit the wall.
As if trying to prevent me from running away any further, he put his hands on both sides of me.
The rabbit is looking down at me.
‘Why are you doing this to me, you punk!’
Can I win if I hit him with my fist?
Then, a low voice could be heard.
“Better than expected.”
It was a familiar voice.
“You’re good at running away, Noel.”
