    ‘Could it be because I didn’t visit today after going every day?’62f6d4b5e3f74693

    As I answered quickly, I 56dd3816fb observed Euclid’s reaction. For some reason, cc206af4cf it seemed like 6aae160b27 the tips of d5d4c3417d his ears had f48f0cf0fa turned red.1b99e797f844c2bd

    Just as I 8b8b1d7879 thought the conversation 27c0729e58 was wrapping up, 91f9d5d601 Dior’s eyes sparkled 9740bd7328 as he asked,aa1dfc194ea2dbaf

    Although circumstances had 2f57f226c8 been difficult, and 59a386f087 the harsh weather 587d595b15 made it unsafe 8bed783005 for the children, 73d40ee802 preventing them from 183449c096 going on outings, 88bbe271dd Euclid still seemed d35e1b5d2d to feel guilty 7ef33141ec about it.9a97e7812b04b8a4

    It was heartwarming to see bba720eb7d how the children understood his 6c1b493457 feelings and reassured him.01458e76e7635f41

    Especially Dior, who had 7774911c05 been sulking since the 7a2cf01c39 secret passage was closed 9383f3b5d8 off—noticing his brightened face, c00a3573cc Euclid seemed relieved.7977e5d32373d496

    Even during dinner, the lively 7a8a11e38c conversation continued—what they wanted to 640569b3cb do on the picnic, what 592b7d6f07 snacks they should bring—filling the bfb57835bb atmosphere with excitement.05d15cfd574f5a98

    Thanks to Euclid, who 87deeec464 was particularly cooperative today, c483a175b7 we even stayed together 4f039cad8c for dessert while finalizing 99e6a86845 the plans. Before we knew it, 04a7e0bfde it was time for e470c4b06e the children to go 2d7a479e5c to bed.78d4c14095dedab9

    After playing and 3af3bf895a chatting endlessly since 16f843de6c the library, the ed7636c19e courtyard, and through 7eafd9eae4 dinner, it was 074171ecad no wonder they 4b59c6707c were exhausted.9b23f8b3c49f1a8f

    Especially Dior, who 869e757b5f must have tired 11f278a17f himself out by 264833b61a being extra perceptive. He started nodding off 9acd5641b9 and eventually fell asleep.445d1001ee498692

    Naturally, Marianne and e60caf9638 I followed him.06d2192c562140d8

    Standing by the bf083b0845 door, I watched e33c4ea043 as Euclid laid fb95001830 Dior in bed, 2afad758b4 carefully pulling the 2db3d62eb0 blanket up to 42d49c9aef his neck and 6bd481e68b stroking his head 40fb8b694e with affectionate eyes.89fe1034bdded1d9

    Then, knowing Dior sometimes had 59c7b654cc nightmares, he left a gentle b79769f900 goodnight kiss on his forehead.320f86c91c79a8c8

    Watching that scene, a 3377ad1173 sudden lump formed in 1c9755155e my throat, and my 32b0834faa chest felt tight with 712d3ff89c emotion.0af6ab1662b2c107

    Euclid was already an incredibly 10c88bdaa3 caring uncle, but if he 1892a4bb7c ever had children of his 89b7ee2d50 own, he would surely be 284b443041 an amazing father.1adaac49181af70e

    At the same time, I d7ddd92eb8 felt a deep, almost tearful 3c86203184 envy toward Dior, who was 68032478b5 blissfully unaware as he slept.ee589c421d866389
