Raising my Fiancè with Money

>While walking in the garden which was in full bloom, the two remained silent for a moment.
Lilia became anxious for no reason, so she gently pressed her fingernails against her palms.
Heinley, who was walking through the garden, opened his mouth first,

“I got promoted safely.”

Lilia jerked up at his words.
He was smiling faintly.

“It’s all thanks to you.”

“What do you mean, thanks to me…?”

“The Duke of Evantheon himself came forward.
Didn’t you tell the Lord?”

Lilia was surprised and paused.
Come to think of it, she completely forgot that Karhan was hiding behind the wall on the day she talked to Heinley.
She couldn’t even see him off because she got busy.

Liia was confused.
Then, did Karhan listen to the conversation and visit Duke Evantheon? But Karhan seemed to have a bad relationship with his family.… The Duke couldn’t have listened to it.

“That’s why I want to say thank you to the Lord.”

“……That’s…”

Lilia couldn’t answer and blurred her words.

‘What happened?’

She had no idea, so it would be better to ask Karhan directly.

“…….”

Heinley, who stopped after her, glanced down at Ilya.
She looked paler than usual.
After talking about resignation, she kept worrying about him, and she didn’t seem to have slept well.

Heinley, who was still looking at his younger sister sadly, was lost in reminiscences.
Things that had happened so far flashed before his eyes.
After hesitating for a while, he cautiously opened his mouth,

“I’m sorry.”

At his quiet whisper, Lilia stopped thinking and looked at him.
He looked embarrassed for some reason, but on the other hand, he had a very gentle face.
Heinley spoke honestly about things he had never said before,

“I think I’ve been blunt so far, and you must have been hurt a lot because of it.”

“…….”

“In fact, I didn’t know how to treat you.”

Heinley was very disappointed with Lilia after learning that Lilia was dating Richard.
He couldn’t understand that his good little sister, who was obedient, after dating Richard started to have fights with him.

He resented Lilia, who couldn’t understand his intentions, but he kept worrying and paid attention to her moves.
However, he thought it would be like acknowledging Richard, so he deliberately hid his true feelings and acted cold.

Time continued to pass, and the distance between them became more and more distant.
He wanted to treat her like before, but he couldn’t remember how he had treated Lilia at that time, so he kept being blunt.
And from the day he received a sincere apology from Lilia, the relationship which had become distant, restored a little.

Even if things got better, there was still awkwardness.
A wall that had not yet been demolished seemed to block the two of them.
Taking one step was difficult, so he just hovered around.

Heinley thought his sincerity would work someday, but it won’t.
He realized that she won’t know unless he tells her in person.

A moment of silence lingered, and Heinley breathed in silently.
It was still awkward, but now he thought he could bring up the thoughts he had been thinking about.

“It wasn’t my true intention to be cold-hearted until now.”

Heinley slowly bowed his head as if he was sincerely reflecting on himself.

“You must have been hurt a lot because of me.”

His worries were wrapped in the cold hearted, venomous words that hurted her.
As her family, he thought it would be okay to intervene like this.
However, it was a situation that would build a wall between him and her.

“It was all my fault.”

Had it not been for this, he would have never known that Lilia cared so deeply for him.
He would have believed that he was the only one worried about Lilia.
Lilia shook her head as she was listening to Heinley for a long time.

“It’s not…”

The vivid purple eyes briefly blurred like water mist.

“It was for me.
I should have listened to you more.”

Now that she looked back, he only said bitter things for Lilia.
Her tears welled up.
Heinley immediately searched in his arms and pulled out a finely folded handkerchief.
Instead of putting a handkerchief in her hand, he wiped Lilia’s eyes himself.

“I promise to change gradually.”

He whispered as he ruffled her messy hair.

“I’m going to change my way of speaking…… I’ll express myself more.
I’ll try as hard as I haven’t done so far.”

“…Me too.”

Lilia muttered in a teary voice.
She felt the wall that had stood firm until now, collapsing.
Heinley was standing outside the crumbling wall, looking at her.
He looked the same as those times when he used to take care of Lilia when they were kids.

It was okay if the relationship could not be completely improved overnight.
Now that they know each other’s sincerity.
Even if it is awkward in the future, they will try to have a proper conversation.
It will be bumpy and fractured, but nevertheless, they will move forward as it continues.

Lilia poured out all the tears she was holding back.
Heinley, who was wiping away tears with a handkerchief, quietly patted Lilia’s back.
His eyes were also faintly wet.
