“When will I ever take responsibility for…!”

…Didn’t you?

I didn’t start it, but I did do it, didn’t I? To be exact, I remembered my first meeting with Chase, the major accident that I had caused in collaboration with the original Leoruka, and my blood ran cold.

‘You gave Chase a rut inducer and made him suffer from morning sickness that day, and now you’re blaming him for it, saying you can’t take responsibility for it?’

Here, it’s a little strange that the subject of ‘I got pregnant’ is me, but if you look at only the objective facts, that’s how it was. Even if Chase sued me, I wouldn’t have anything to say. He’s a bad man. He was a bad man, puppy……. I nodded without realizing it and was at a loss for words.

But the one who gave the medicine was the original Leoruka, so why is the karma in my part again? I didn’t know when this damn karma settlement would ever end.

At that moment, Chase, who had been glancing at me, suddenly realized that my argument had worked and closed his eyes and smiled ominously. Then he did something surprising.

“Please save me. I’m really struggling.”

And then he lowered his head and rested his forehead on my shoulder.

Chase’s long eyelashes fluttered at the ends of his lowered eyelids. Then, a net-like shadow fell across his skin, which was so white and soft it was almost transparent.

Somehow, his whole body had frozen, and he was stiff, but this time, he looked up at me with pitch-black eyes as if appealing. Then, he slowly blinked, his eyes drooping down sadly and looking unusually fresh today.

What the heck is this… So the black panther guy just used a beauty trick on me…?

Do you think that will work? No matter how pretty you are, there’s no way a man’s face attack will work on me…

“Huh?”

“…”

“Leo.”

“…”

There’s no way it’ll work……. I guess not…… But can you stop calling me affectionately. I’m getting dizzy?

The first time I was called by my name instead of my family name, I broke out in a cold sweat. Am I really going to become the main character at this rate? Please save me…

“Hey, puppy. Aren’t you going to answer?”

“Gasp, yes!”

But while I was sweating profusely, Chase, who couldn’t control his temper, gave up after 5 minutes and growled, showing his teeth. It seemed like the main character wouldn’t be able to do it. Thank goodness.

Anyway, for that reason, I decided to stay with Chase for the time being. But I was not sure how long that ‘for the time being’ would last. Until Chase’s morning sickness subsides? When would that subside? Could it be that it would only get better after the baby is born? But am I having a baby? I’m… a man?

But there were only question marks flying around, and no one could answer. In fact, it hadn’t even felt real yet, so I didn’t have time to think about whether or not to have a baby. Rather, the problems that had to be solved right away came to mind first. For example….

“But where do you stay? Here?”

“huh?”

Chase blinked and looked flustered, as if he hadn’t even thought about that part. Meanwhile, I looked around the house.

We opened the front door and went inside, and immediately we were in the living room, which seemed to be a living room/study/bedroom. But the kitchen was separate, so it wasn’t a studio, but maybe a 1.5 – person room?

It was nothing compared to Leoruka’s splendid bedroom, but it was much bigger and cleaner than the goshiwon I lived in in my previous life. Above all, bright sunlight poured in through the large glass window on one wall. Sunlight… Sunlight in an old multi-family house! It was something I couldn’t even dream of in my previous life.

The problem was that my grave site, the ice lake, was standing tall and beautiful outside the front window. Why did I have to throw myself into the lake in front of Chase’s house? I had read this part before and was surprised that the original Leoruka’s love and hate for Chase seemed to be deep.

‘Oh, but Chase lived in a multi-purpose building back then?’

Chase’s house, located in front of the ice lake that Leoruka jumped into, was the place that Chase requested from his grandfather when he returned to the Arteon family around the middle of the original story. It was said to be near the house where he originally lived with his parents.

Judging from the location where the ice lake is directly in front, this house is in the same location as where Chase lived in the original, but the building is different. It is also strange that this area is Garden City, which is clearly a restricted area for development, so there is no way a high-rise building would be built. What happened?

‘The area in front of the ice lake was clearly a high-end building complex……. Could it be that the development restrictions imposed on Garden City have been lifted?’

I remembered that in ‘The Heirs of Arteon’, the house where Chase lived with his family was an old house. Perhaps Chase had to leave this house because it was being redeveloped.

It would take years to build the massive building depicted in the original, so I thought that an announcement to lift the restrictions could come soon. Then, would the house prices here go up? Would Chase become rich? If Chase makes a lot of money, wouldn’t he be able to break up safely? But is this Chase’s house? Or did you say rent?

As my thoughts continued to follow one after another, the old Korean real estate soul was suddenly moved. My favorability toward Chase’s house also increased, and my fear of the ice lake flew away. Why should I be afraid when I’m not in the right place anyway? The only drawback to this house was that it was Chase’s house. Yes, let’s live here!
