Chapter 230: The bed of snow always contained a lot of wonderful things
I felt like the rest of Eruha’s lesson before the year’s end revolved around Natha’s assets.
After the overview session during that first one, he went to explain each one each day. I even had a feeling that if Natha wasn’t in his separation anxiety mode, Eruha would bring me to the companies or banks Natha owned.
But Natha didn’t want me to go anywhere again, so we even had the lesson in the small library beside his office that was accessible through a connecting door. And if we got too quiet because I was concentrating on his flabbergasting wealth, he would peek his head into the room to check up on me.
It was kind of excessive, right? But don’t you think it was endearing too?
Natha had always been this imposing, perfect figure in my eyes. He was handsome and older, wealthy and could do anything. He was like a prince charming, your dream billionaire-CEO boyfriend that could manhandled you one second and coddled you in the next.
But the more I knew him, especially after everything was revealed that he was indeed that doctor I met in the past, it was like...his hidden side came up more. No, no--not his hidden side. His...youthful side? His personality when he was young; the one who was stubborn, petty, curious, and filled with insecurity.
Rather than feeling stuffy because of his clinginess, I found that it made me feel less like a child in front of an adult. It made me feel like we were equal; equally silly when we were in love. Equally worried, equally hopeful.
It was wonderful.
Oh, Natha was also there when I had to go through another fitting with Arta and the seamstresses.
Thankfully, this time, it wasn’t as long as the one before the banquet. They already had my basic measurement; they just need to make a change on some of my widening area. Hmm...it was only two months but it seemed like I already gained weight.
Anyway, the clothes also simpler this time. After all, it was for the blessing ceremony. As a half-human half-druid, I wouldn’t participate in the ceremony, since the blessing was only for demons. But I would still participate in the community banquet and all the meetings Natha would have, so I should still looked the part.
