Apology

Thaddeus stood up, not waiting for her response. Before he closed the door, he could hear her voice crack. "You bastard!"

He closed his eyes, a little guilty, but walked forward. 

If she still wanted to marry him after this, then it would be her choice.

With a heavy mood, Thaddeus went down to see Naia, who was in the garden. 

He walked around and followed the sound of her melodious laughter, and by the time she was in his sights, his mood had already been improved.

She blinked when she saw him, running to give him a hug. He chuckled as she rubbed her head against his chest, the darkness completely swept away.

"Did you have a lot of fun?" He asked with a smile, patting her soft hair.

"Yes! Kois are okay!" She said, "They could jump now!"

Thaddeus smiled and patted her head, "Yes, I saw you earlier," he said. He had been watching her command the Koi from his study room.
