Chapter 298
He Decided to Shave His Beard
There was no way that Tilura remembered this story about crying because of her father’s face when she was a baby…so I could not confirm anything. But I felt as if he had rushed to conclusions.
Perhaps Sebastian could have told him… But then again, Sebastian was the kind of person to find it amusing.
Besides, maybe he would have thought that it wasn’t his place to say anything.
In any case, this was all just speculation… But I had a feeling that I wasn’t too far off.
“…Uhh… While it’s not like that with everyone, some children are afraid of beards.”
“But none of the other children in this orphanage were?”
“…”
“Well…”
I glanced over to Ms. Anne, and she closed her eyes with an uncomfortable expression.
Hmm… I guess there was something that she couldn’t say.
“Well, I think the children here are generally more used to being around adults. Perhaps Liza is not… Besides, she was bullied in the slums. And you know, many of the people there were not cleanly shaved.”
