NOVEL WEB Chapter 206
Chapter: 206
I’ve been living as Camelia for 18 years now.
If we count the months, it’s almost been 19 years—really close!
But during that time, I’ve felt and experienced way more than I thought I would.
After I was born, my biological mother died shortly after, my first stepmother ran away, and then I got a second stepmother.
In the meantime, thanks to my rich father, William, I learned a lot ahead of my time.
Along with that, I got closer to the world of business, and by the age of 8, I started my own venture.
“…….”
After that, I ended up making way more profit than I ever imagined from my business, and along the way, I started to live a life far more impressive than my previous one.
Honestly, the reason I even started in business was mainly William’s influence, but in the end, it was my choice to do it.
“I did it how I wanted to.”
Eventually, going to the Academy was also my choice, and even after I started, I had plenty of choices to make.
Getting close with various girls at the Academy.
Forming clubs and hanging out with them.
Most of the different experiences I had were made through my choices.
“Yeah… in the end, it was all just what I wanted to do.”
Everything was mostly based on my desires and my decisions.
Until now, I hadn’t had any doubts or worries about those choices, but… a few years ago, that changed.
Questions and worries about Rosalyn Rose, now Rosalyn Leonhardt.
I probably had a lot of those even before I started attending the Academy.
Of course, I hid them all from myself as well.
“…It’s about time I got over this.”
I spent a lot of time without any progress.
8 years old, 12 years old, 13 years old… and now 18.
After all this time, the only thing I’ve really worked on is the business.
There were other relationships with people, sure, but ultimately, it’s still the same situation that started back when I was 8.
I instinctively realized that it was not the time to sit back and be complacent anymore.
“Ugh….”
I slowly stood up from my chair and looked into the mirror.
The reflection showed me a version of myself that had grown far more than in my childhood.
In terms of looks, I was undeniably beautiful, even more so than I had been as a child.
“I really am pretty.”
I wondered.
With looks like this, wouldn’t it be easy for a girl to fall for me?
That thought had crossed my mind often, but recently, it felt even more prevalent.
“It seems like they all fall for me more than I expected….”
Starting with Rize and followed by Ashley and Karen, they had the same vibe.
I hadn’t realized before, but everyone seemed to have a stronger than expected fondness for me, likely due to my appearance.
“What about Rosalyn?”
No idea.
Well, for now, I decided to try to charm Rosalyn too.
I had no clue how it’d go, but… isn’t there a chance I could pull it off somehow?
*
I came to Rosalyn’s Room.
I acted like it was just another day, strolling in casually.
“Mother, what’s your schedule like today?”
“Today, I’m probably just processing some documents. I can’t imagine doing anything else.”
“Ah….”
We were just having a normal chat as I sat down across from Rosalyn.
While I was indeed thinking of charming Rosalyn, I wasn’t planning to disrupt our daily life too wildly.
Slowly, for now.
“By the way, aren’t you tired, Mother?”
“Huh? Where’s that coming from?”
“I mean, I’m a bit tired myself, but you usually don’t work this much. I thought you might be tired.”
“Ah….”
I pretended to act concerned for my mother.
Of course, I did genuinely care about Rosalyn, but my true thoughts were certainly focused on something else.
“You’re definitely tired, right? You’ve been working hard for months. Although it’s much easier than what Camelia does…?”
“Mother, you’ve been very busy too.”
“Well, it can’t be helped. I do it for Camelia, after all? So it’s not like it’s too hard.”
“Thanks for saying that.”
Basically, Rosalyn had never actually hated me from the start.
If anything, she liked me a lot more than disliked me.
To be honest, I didn’t quite understand why Rosalyn was so fond of me.
Bluntly speaking, I was a total stranger to her with no blood relation.
Why treat me, a mere child from a trashy family, so well?
Compassion?
Empathy?
What could be the reason behind her lavish kindness?
I couldn’t help but be filled with questions about Rosalyn’s feelings towards me.
I didn’t dislike her, though.
“Uh… I sincerely apologize for always needing your help.”
“It’s fine. It’s all for Camelia, isn’t it? You really don’t need to feel that way.”
“…Haha.”
Each time I heard her say that with a smile, it made me feel guilty.
Rosalyn treats me like a precious daughter for no reason, while I hadn’t reciprocated those feelings at all.
“Mother, shall I give you a massage?”
“A massage?”
“Yes. I’ve had a lot of experience with Rize and I think I’m somewhat good at it. Plus, I have some time left, and I’m always grateful to you. I want to repay you, even just a little.”
Truthfully, I didn’t really know how to give a proper massage, but just throwing that idea out there.
Simply thinking about legally touching Rosalyn’s body.
Well, even if it wasn’t legal, I had already touched her quite a bit while she was asleep.
“Um… refusing a massage from my daughter would be a bit harsh, wouldn’t it?”
“No, if you really don’t want it, that’s totally fine.”
I said that, but I didn’t think Rosalyn would actually reject me here.
After all, it was Rosalyn.
She wouldn’t really turn me down in this situation.
“Hehe, no, I guess I should just go to the bed? Or would you prefer to stay seated?”
“Um… wouldn’t it be better if you lay down for a proper massage? Sitting might only work for your shoulders.”
“Alright then, let’s do that.”
Saying that, Rosalyn rose from her seat and moved to her bed directly.
Honestly, I couldn’t help but smile a bit… not in a wholly innocent way, watching her.
It was hard to act completely unfazed in this situation.
I casually followed her, and just the sight of Rosalyn’s back and neck was enough to honestly feel good.
The dress she was wearing had quite a bit of exposure too….
“…….”
Before I knew it, a somewhat mischievous grin had formed on my face.
I was trying to hide it, though.
“Heh, it’s definitely much more comfortable than sitting.”
“Mother’s bed is super comfy.”
Rosalyn lay down on the bed, completely unaware, just enjoying the moment.
She really just wanted to receive some filial affection.
“Is this how you lay down?”
“Yes, that should be fine. Just let me move the blanket a bit….”
There were only Rosalyn lying on the bed and me sitting next to her.
Sure, there were only the two of us in the room, but being on a bed felt like a whole different story.
I started admiring the figure of Rosalyn who lay still.
Even back then and even now, Rosalyn had a truly fantastical body….
Strange thoughts began creeping into my head, but I was doing my best to shove them aside.
“Mother, then I’ll start off slowly, okay?”
“Yes, please do.”
“…Sure.”
It surprisingly felt a bit explicit.
Rosalyn didn’t mean it that way, but for some reason, I found myself thinking along those lines.
Of course, my hands headed straight for her shoulders.
“Hehe….”
I began pressing my fingers down gently, starting from her shoulders.
I had never really done massage stuff before, but I figured, either way, Rosalyn had a feminine body.
Besides, she hadn’t been athletic like Ivana or worked physically like Rize.
Naturally, her body was soft and supple.
Soft.
Soft.
“….”
Oh.
“How does this feel? Your shoulders seem a bit tense.”
“Ah… yeah, it’s nice….”
“Well, I’m glad.”
Even though my head was filled with strange thoughts, I continued the massage, focusing on her shoulders, then moving to her shoulder blades and spinal muscles.
Slowly, push, push.
“Umm… ah….”
Honestly, my technique was terrible, but maybe it surprisingly had a stronger effect on Rosalyn?
She began quietly letting out soft sounds.
Hearing those little moans made me feel a bit… aroused.
Her gentle sounds were surprisingly suggestive.
Considering it wasn’t just anyone, but Rosalyn, I couldn’t help but press down on the same spot a little harder.
Truth be told, I had never thought about these kinds of things when touching other girls, but with Rosalyn, it felt significantly stronger.
Even though it was just a soft little sound during a massage.
“I’m gonna go a bit lower now.”
“Uh… that’s alright….”
My hands traveled past her waist, over her backside, and towards her thighs.
Her thighs were firm yet soft.
They felt a bit softer than Rize’s, something I was aware of from experience…
“Ah, ah….”
Touching Rosalyn’s thighs while she was awake felt absolutely delightful.
And as I kneaded her thighs, more and more soft sounds continued to escape Rosalyn’s lips.
Honestly, it felt a bit strange that just her thighs would elicit such reactions from her.
“…….”
Next, I directed my hands just a little above the middle of her thighs.
Slowly nipping just below her backside, nudging toward her inner thighs…
“Oh… ah, hnnn….”
