Stand Still, Don’t Run Away, My Little Wife

In this way, Danae did not return to Macaulay family, but lived as a future grandson’s daughter－in－law.

Everything was starting to change.

The servants no longer regarded her as a guest. Cyril’s mother also treated her very well and bought her many things that girls would like.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Charlie also began to choose a good day, thinking that although the two children were still young, it was not a bad thing to get engaged early and get married after graduation.

She did not understand why all of a sudden, everything changed.

Raymond did not object to the engagement, which undoubtedly made her mind completely empty.

Did he really give her to this family?

… …

She went to school with Cyril and attracted a lot of attention.

And he has been holding her hand, did not let go.

As if, this life was not willing to let go.

After class, they were inseparable. Many girls were envious at the same time.

After all, Cyril’s girlfriend was likely to be the hostess in the future.

However, Danae was lucky. It is said that she was still adopted by Mr. Macaulay.

Macaulay family was a place that was far away and powerful in the eyes of others.

There was no doubt that Danae had become the best and most blessed person in Turin today.

… …

In the evening, Danae was reading a book in the room when she heard a knock on the door.

Cyril brought in a cup of hot milk and put it on her desk.

“What books are you reading?”

From the relationship between the two people to the “couple”, Danae was no longer as indifferent and unfamiliar as before.

“Nothing, boring to pass the time.”

As she said this, she closed the book and put it aside. She took the hot milk cup and sipped it for a while. Then she heard Cyril say－

“Grandpa and Mr. Macaulay discussed…”

When she heard Mr. Macaulay, she still paused unconsciously.

“They Decided to hold an engagement banquet on the 11th of next month.”

The engagement banquet, these three words, she has used this period of time, to let herself accept.

Just, the 11th of next month?

“It was your birthday, wasn’t it?”

Cyril thought that she could get engaged on her birthday. After that, every birthday of her would made each other meaningful.

“Is this… the time set by Uncle Macaulay?”

“Yes.”

In an instant, the heart tightened and the girl’s eyes were filled with perplexity and doubts.

In her memory, there had always been a voice whirling in her ear：

－Soon, my Danae would be 18.

Raymond had been waiting for her to grow up, but who would have thought that the upcoming 18－year－old would become her engagement banquet with Cyril.

Danae always felt a little uneasy.

Why, it happened to be that day.

Seeing her hesitation and silence, Cyril thought it was because she thought the time was too fast or because she was not ready to become his fiancée.

“If you don’t want to do it now, then I can tell Grandpa that the time will be postponed until next year…”

They are still immature. Getting engaged only as a form and would not get married until graduation.

“… no, that’s fine.”

It had always been that others decided her life.

Sooner or later, it seemed to her that there was no difference.

After hearing Danae say so, he was delighted and took her hand on the cup. When the temperature came, she raised her eyes to his eyes.

When Cyril looked at her, his eyes were full of warmth. Sometimes, she felt that she did not deserve such gentleness.

Under the dim light, the girl’s beautiful face was clean and flawless, and he was deeply moved and approached slowly.

He wanted to kiss her.

Her heart beat quickly. The hand held by Cyril embedded in the palm a few minutes. A breath which was not Raymond was getting close to her.

Little by little, slowly…

The breath of each other was close to each other. Danae could even feel the temperature on Cyril’s lips and slowly covered her…

－Danae, my little Danae…

A man’s voice froze her blood instantly from far to near, and what came to mind was her appearance, which could not be disobeyed like a god.

She was so surprised that she suddenly stood up and avoided Cyril’s kiss.

No, she couldn’t…

Her pupils were full of timidity and fear. Cyril frowned and looked at the girl’s nervous appearance. He thought it was him who scared her.

But he didn’t know that there was another person who really made Danae tremble.

“Danae, I’m sorry, but I’m too anxious… I…”

“I want to be alone.”

Before he had finished speaking, she had interrupted aloud and did not look at the lost look of the boy. She just wanted to be alone.

“… well, have a good night.”

The boy also knew that this kind of thing should not force her, but Cyril thought that since she was willing to get engaged to himself, he was in her heart.

That’s enough for him.

In the room, it soon quieted down again. She was finally alone.
