NOVEL WEB Chapter 207
Chapter: 207
After giving Rosalyn her first massage, life changed a bit.
Before, we just chatted in Rosalyn’s Room, but now we did a bit more.
“Ugh…”
“Feeling good?”
“Yeah, it’s amazing…”
When there was nothing to do, I would come to Rosalyn’s Room to slowly massage her body.
Since I hadn’t had much skinship with Rosalyn before, it felt somewhat satisfying.
Hugging and holding hands was too ordinary.
It was just a normal thing between a mother and daughter, but massages had a different vibe.
“Uhh…”
Every time I pressed down on Rosalyn’s waist, a sound escaped her lips.
To be honest, this kind of voice from Rosalyn was rare.
“This area seems really knotted. Have you been sitting in a chair for too long?”
“Uh…”
“I’ll work it out slowly.”
“Okay… thank you….”
Just by gently pressing on the erector spinae, Rosalyn let out a much more sensual sound.
For someone like me who enjoyed that, I had no choice but to push down even harder.
This situation continued on repeatedly.
For Rosalyn, this was probably just a normal massage.
She would think of it as her daughter showing filial piety.
But I felt differently.
“Hehe…”
Rosalyn usually wore somewhat tight clothing, so even now, it was quite pleasing to the eyes.
She truly seemed blissfully unaware and so defenseless.
In this situation, where she wore such clothes but kept letting out suggestive sounds,
I couldn’t help but want to indulge in teasing her right then and there.
Just like I did with Rize and Ashley.
“Is there anywhere else that feels uncomfortable?”
But it wasn’t the time for that yet.
I had to proceed slowly instead of boldly.
I needed Rosalyn to start thinking odd thoughts about me.
I had to make her think strangely about me, just as I did about her.
“Hmm… I’m not sure.”
“Then I’ll slowly move down.”
“Do as you wish.”
My hands naturally descended to her rear end.
While there were other areas like thighs and calves, I decided to start with something a bit more explicit this time.
Rosalyn, already defenseless, didn’t mind at all even as I touched her body.
There was no problem doing it now.
I had already mentioned I would be touching lower.
“Uhh…?”
Soft cheeks.
Though she was my mother, she was still a woman’s body.
Her rear and other parts were bound to be soft and squishy.
“I’ll work it out slowly.”
“Uh… okay….”
Even as I placed my hands on her backside, it didn’t seem strange to Rosalyn.
After all, I was her daughter.
There wouldn’t be massive backlash from her for touching her body like this.
It was different when it came to another person touching her compared to her daughter doing it.
In fact, even now, she showed no signs of disliking my hand on her rear.
“Oh, speaking of which, the new year is coming soon, right?”
“Yeah…?”
“So, I’d like to get a new gift for you, mother. What would you like?”
“Hmm?”
“I’m just saying I want to give something. You’ve been so busy lately, and I appreciate you. Just a way to repay you?”
While I was massaging Rosalyn’s rear, I brought that up.
Since I was talking about this, Rosalyn didn’t seem to pay much attention to my hands moving to more sensitive areas.
Well, it was fine since I wasn’t directly touching anything dangerous yet.
“If it’s something from Camelia, I think anything would be fine… uhh…”
“Really?”
“Then…? When did I ever dislike a gift from Camelia?”
“That’s true.”
A normal conversation.
But even in such a chat, I envisioned all sorts of inappropriate things about Rosalyn.
The fact that anything was fine made me unconsciously think of her in naughty and bad ways.
“How does it feel?”
“Uhh… nice….”
“…Hmm.”
But honestly, it seemed like it was more Rosalyn’s fault than mine.
Truly.
*
Time with Rosalyn was enjoyable, but I still had so much to do.
Though I had recently spent more time with women since things had calmed down a bit… there were still many tasks awaiting me.
Business matters, the succession as the head of the household, and due processes for the Rose Family were still on my plate.
I couldn’t simply lounge around.
So, I decided to meet an old friend I hadn’t seen for a while.
To be precise, friends.
I was meeting more than one person today.
“Is this the right place?”
“Yes, this cafe’s address is correct.”
“This place has a unique atmosphere. I didn’t know there was a cafe like this in the south.”
“Right?”
Rize and I arrived at a cafe after taking a carriage ride.
Overall, it was a bit more eco-friendly compared to a regular cafe.
The outside was adorned with pretty flowers and trees, while the inside had decor made of foliage.
“Hmm…”
I stepped inside.
I had already told them I would wait inside.
They must be waiting for me as promised.
As I opened the door, I heard a little bell ring, and I felt several eyes shift toward me inside the cafe.
I was used to people staring at me for quite some time now, so it didn’t feel strange. However, amidst those looks, familiar faces caught my eye.
“Camelia…!”
“It’s been a while. How have you been?”
The familiar red hair, which I had seen since childhood.
There were two, not just one.
“Y-yes! I’ve been well…!”
“And Grace, how have you been?”
“Well… I guess.”
“It feels like an eternity since we last met. It’s been so long since the Academy graduation, right?”
“You’ve been busy, haven’t you…?”
“Hehe, well, that’s true.”
I was finally meeting the Roseaki Sisters again after such a long time.
I had seen Ivana and Ella before, but it was the Roseaki sisters who had been ages since we last met.
“So, why did you summon us? After staying in contact for so long, what’s the occasion?”
“I just wanted to see you!”
“Not entirely just that…”
“Hehe…”
Despite our long separation, they were just as I remembered.
Though Grace seemed a bit more mature since the last time I’d seen her.
In the end, the Roseaki Sisters remained the same.
Karen still felt quiet and calm, and Grace was still her adorable self.
“First, let’s order drinks then take it slow with our chat?”
“I guess so.”
It was nice to see the Roseaki Sisters after such a long time, but I still had my business to attend to.
However, just sitting in a cafe with nothing to order felt a bit inconsiderate, especially since I was a bit thirsty from the ride.
So, I decided to place an order first.
“So, why did you call us? You said you’ve been busy for a while.”
“I have been. Honestly, I am still quite busy. But I’ve also gotten some time to meet up with you.”
It was true I had a little time to spare, which was the reason I called out to the Roseaki sisters.
If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t have summoned them to the south at all.
“Could you take a look at this?”
I handed a few documents to the Roseaki Sisters as I said that.
They were just ordinary business documents.
But for the Roseaki Sisters, they were probably quite decent proposals.
“It’s nothing major, but I’m preparing something recently, and I’d like to get some help.”
“…….”
“Help…?”
“Yes, honestly, I’m just a baron family member, you know? I could use a little assistance from you or Grace.”
I understood that discussing business upon our reunion wasn’t the best move.
But then again, I wasn’t a genuinely good person.
“…So that’s why you wanted to meet?”
“Essentially, yes.”
“…And you reached out after so long to discuss this?”
“That’s right.”
“…….”
Well, I had somewhat prepared for Grace to look at me like that.
Frankly, I was aware I was in the wrong here.
They weren’t just people who would easily lend me money.
I had brought it up way too casually.
“Actually, my father is in critical condition right now… I’ll need to become the head of the family soon.”
Of course, I wasn’t just going to speak solely about business.
I needed some personal backstory to make it compelling.
It would be unthinkable to strictly talk about business and money to people I hadn’t seen in ages.
I had to show at least a little vulnerability.
With just the slightest brow furrowing, looking downwards to appear pitiful.
But given my appearance, even this level worked quite effectively.
They say a beautiful woman’s tears are a weapon, right?
I truly believed that was the case.
“Is that so…? But why didn’t you mention this in a letter…?”
“Just reaching out like this felt fine, but sharing gloomy news wasn’t something I wanted to bring up.”
“That’s true…”
Even Grace was starting to show signs of pity towards me.
Just by sharing a few words, their gaze toward me shifted from dismissive to slightly sympathetic.
At first, they looked like I was speaking nonsense, but now there was a hint of compassion mixed in their eyes.
It was indeed easy.
“So, I could use a little help, and we’ve been close since a long time ago.”
And finally, if I expressed trust in them, insinuating that I’d shared this with them on purpose, it would be all wrapped up.
Ultimately, people are easier to handle than you expect.
In a situation where they think favorably of you, a mere setup is all it takes, and they really easily come around.
“S-So, how can we help you? The documents only mention business…?”
After hearing Karen’s remark, I slightly fixed my previously sad expression and prepared my next words.
Well, I hadn’t brought up anything too burdensome for the Roseaki Sisters, after all.
After wrapping up the discussion, we could easily enjoy some time together.
