Chapter 38: Shadows in the Garden
Nodding to himself, Rocco continued walking through the garden.
Suddenly, a voice called out from behind him.
It was the voice of his family—Ragar and Georgio—who had remained silent since entering the main house.
"Young Master, can I talk to you now? I feel like I'm going to die from 'Master deprivation'!"
"Please, allow me to speak to you as well, Master..."
Having confirmed that they had entered an isolated area, Georgio erased his usual cool demeanor and suddenly hugged Rocco tightly from behind.
Ragar, flustered, wobbled around, and Rocco smiled wryly and waved his hand, signaling for him to come closer.
He pulled both of them into a tight hug, patting them gently.
"Thanks, you two, for staying by my side. I don't think I could have endured that atmosphere alone," Rocco said with a gentle smile.
