When Ismael got tired and fell asleep, I took the initiative to talk to Icarus, bringing up the topic of our child.
"Do you really enjoy taking care of him?"
Icarus paused as he was sorting through some documents. "What else am I supposed to do? You don't seem to care about him. Should I just let him grow up without love, with neither a mother's love nor a father's?"
I stared at him, wide-eyed.
"I don't care about him?"
"Mm."
Icarus looked up at me, his expression darkening.
"Ismael has grown this big, and you've only held him less than three times. Don't you remember?"
I was once again stunned.
After all, in my understanding, even if I didn't like children, I would still be responsible for him since I gave birth to him, and I would give him enough love.
But now...
I secretly glanced at Icarus, who was lost in thought.
He was sitting upright, wearing a thin shirt that wrapped around his slim waist, his brow sharp and distant, like he was covered in a layer of cold ice.
—This was the Icarus I knew.
The clingy behavior from when I first woke up felt like a dream now.
I bit my lip.
"Disappointed?"
Icarus suddenly said, raising his head to look at me.
"Think I'm not as considerate and sweet as your little boyfriend? Think I'm not as good as him?"
He seemed to be in a terrible mood.
"Have I ever told you, Lavinia, to cut ties with him completely? If not, I swear I'll kill him."
"...Why are you so fierce?"
I quietly muttered, "I really don't remember anything..."
He was there, furious, but I didn't even know what he was saying.
How boring.
I slowly stepped forward and poked his arm.
"Tell me our story, will you?"
I was looking up at him, clearly seeing his Adam's apple bob as he looked at me. His gaze was deep, filled with unspoken emotions.
He raised his hand and covered my eyes.
