Chapter 271
“A letter from my sister?”
Ronan opened the envelope. As he read the letter, a smile spread across his face. Adeshan, seeing the anger completely vanish from Ronan’s face, breathed a sigh of relief.
“Thank goodness. It looks like your mood improved.”
“How could I read a letter from my sister with a frown? Thanks for delivering it.”
Ronan’s eyes were filled with affection, a look he rarely showed except when he was alone with her. Adeshan, watching him, found herself smiling unconsciously.
“You really love Lady Iril, don’t you?”
“Of course. As you know, I don’t have any parents.”
For a moment, Adeshan was at a loss for words. She didn’t know how to respond to such a statement. Ronan himself spoke casually, but the gravity of his words was heavy. When Adeshan remained silent, Ronan continued.
“When you think about it, I’ve had a pretty tough life. My mom passed away when I was young, so I never got to see her face properly, and my father is sleeping at the northern end of the world with the secrets of the universe. So, I don’t really understand things like maternal love or parental affection.”
