What's wrong with a lord daddy who just wants to draw cards?

With no one to stop them, the Hearth Tavern is like Teddy in heat—it’s blooming everywhere!

You can see a bunch of people gathering in the Lupai Tavern everywhere.

It is a holy place for card fighting. The lively atmosphere and fresh ornamental games have attracted many drinkers and become their new choice for drinking places.

From morning to early morning for proofing, there are almost always people there at any time.

And this craze is spreading to the towns around the main city of Blofield, and is being carried to further afield as adventurers spread the word by word of mouth...

"Master, most of the guests in the taverns have been poached by us now. I have conducted on-site inspections and found that these taverns are now sparsely populated. In such an atmosphere, there will only be fewer and fewer people."

In Ye Yuan's office, Morey respectfully reported to Duomi Hui, who was sitting on the boss's chair. Mei still played the role of serving tea and water, and she seemed to enjoy it.

"Very good," Domi praised Morey's efficiency, which showed that his plan was proceeding in an orderly manner.

"You should know what to do next. This business model can be continued, but it's just not like a tavern. You need to make some changes. I can't teach you how to make changes. You have to realize it yourself."

"Understood, I will buy these taverns in one go when they are completely out of business. Master Dominic, please wait for the good news."

Domi stood up, changed the position of the boss's chair to Morey, and patted his shoulder:

"I feel relieved to have you in charge."

"Oh, by the way," before leaving, Duomi put the hat on his head and turned around and asked, "How are your mothers?"

Mei said: "Thanks to the young master and Morey, my mother has recovered and my father has returned home. It turns out that my father left home at that time just to raise money for my mother."

"Well, congratulations on your family reunion. What about Morey? Is Auntie feeling better?"

Morey looked a little sad: "My mother... passed away a week ago."

Mei let out an exclamation, and Domi was a little surprised.

Morey did not hold a funeral. He thought that Morey's mother was still alive and her illness might have improved, but there was no news at all.

"Uh...sorry, I shouldn't have talked about it."

"No, I don't blame you. I didn't tell you on purpose, and I didn't hide it from everyone on purpose. It's just that... maybe my mother didn't want too many people to see her like that."

Domi recalled how she looked when she first met her aunt. In fact, as a mother, she is one of those mothers who can give birth to a child as handsome and handsome as Morey.

Unfortunately, the disease she suffered from had some symptoms of tuberculosis in the early stage, and in the later stage, it caused the whole body to fester and emit a foul smell. When she died, she was completely unrecognizable.

The two of them also understood the mood of Morey's mother. If they became like that, they wouldn't want their relatives and friends to see it.

"I express my condolences..."

After a moment of silence, Domi left with an umbrella.

As if to coincide with the occasion, it began to rain a little outside the window, but judging from the trend, it was threatening to turn into heavy rain.

Crackling, crackling...

Raindrops as big as beans hit the window pane, playing soothing, natural music.

But to Mei's ears, it sounded inexplicably sad.

She walked up behind Morey and gently stroked his back. She didn't know how to comfort someone who had just lost all their loved ones, so she could only use this method to help Morey squeeze out a little sadness.

After a while, Morey grabbed Mei's hand. He originally wanted to take it off his back, but he never thought that Mei's hand was so warm and could even remove the dampness and coldness brought by the rain.

"I'm sorry...can I hold your hand for a moment? I know it's a bit abrupt, of course you can refuse..."

"sure."

"Sorry...wait, you agreed?"

Mei not only agreed, but also squatted down and covered Morey's cold little hand with her other hand:

"As long as you want it, all my warmth can be given to you."

Mei's warmth spread from his hands to his heart, feeling warm.

In the end, the two of them had knee pillows on the couch in the living room, and Mei gave Morey a knee pillow.

Mei is already a big girl this year. For Morey, who is eight years younger than her, Mei's role as a 'sister' already has some motherly qualities.

Not as good as the mother who actually gave birth to him and raised him, but she can still give him motherly warmth.

Lying on Mei's legs together, with her hair gently smoothed, Morey felt full of peace of mind and fell asleep unconsciously.

Looking at Morey's sleeping face, Mei felt sorry for him and pushed his hair behind his ears with her fingers.

She is okay, her parents are still alive and taking care of her until she reaches adulthood.

But Morey, who was only ten years old, lost his parents. Before he met Master Domi, he even supported a family and a seriously ill mother by himself.

"You are already very strong... take a good rest~"

"I'll always, always be with you."

Hurrah--

When Duomi returned to the castle on the top of the mountain, it was already raining heavily. The downpour seemed to be about to knock off the roof, and even the umbrella was about to be blown over by the wind.

He pointed the umbrella in the direction of the wind and lowered it, which made it easier for him, but he couldn't see ahead.

How could this matter?He has been walking here for seven years and can reach the door with his eyes closed.

But because this umbrella was the smallest, it was a little too small for him as he grew older, and it still couldn't cover him under a lot of rain.

The driver wanted to hold an umbrella for Domi, but Domi was considerate of his family and insisted on doing it by himself. After all, no one wanted to get wet.

However, at this moment, the sound of rain was mixed with the sound of footsteps, getting closer and closer...

In the field of vision, a pair of small white leather shoes came into view. Looking up, it was Sia holding a bigger umbrella!

"you……"

"Really, if you go out on a rainy day, give me the little umbrella and you can hold it."

In this way, the two of them held an umbrella together, their bodies so close that they seemed to be able to feel each other's breathing and heartbeat.

The castle cast a soft light, lengthening their backs.

Duomi matched Shia's pace, and Shia also matched Duomi's speed, walking even slower.

However, walking in the rain like this feels pretty good.

Chapter 119 118 Please listen to my quibbles!

Their shoes were soaked through. When they walked into the door, Duomi found that two pairs of slippers and two dry towels had been placed at the entrance.

When Domi was arranging clothes and putting the umbrella in a special place, Shia was already standing on the steps outside the entrance, taking Domi's slippers from their place and placing them in the most suitable place for changing shoes.

He walked up to Sia and accepted Sia's hair-wiping service while changing his shoes:

"Is this what you expected?"

She took the towel and continued to wipe Duomi:

"I just heard from the maid that you went out and it looked like it was going to rain. Counting the time, you will definitely be soaked in the rain when you come back."

"Look, it's true~"

Duomi burst out laughing. After hearing this, he seemed to see Sia standing at the window upstairs, eagerly waiting for him to come home.

This feeling is like that of an old married couple.

It’s not like I haven’t had similar experiences before.

When he was younger, he always encouraged Edward and Argyle to run into the garden and play wildly on rainy days. When they came back, Gresa would wait at the gate with a few maids, drying them with towels. Hair scolded.

The childhood here is much more interesting than in the previous life. The most important thing is that it is full of love from others.

"What's the smirk?"

"It's nothing, I just like it like this."

Seeing Domi's heartfelt smile, Sia couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She didn't notice that Domi had taken the towel from her hand, and stood behind her like a guest, and helped her wipe her hair.

"You were a little wet when you came here. I'll help you wipe it~"

"How can you rub it like this? It's all hairy... I'll do it myself!" Sia said angrily with a slightly red face.

"Haha sorry sorry~"

"Okay, go back and take a shower, be careful of catching a cold."

"Why are you like my mother?"

"If you can't speak, stop talking and get out of here!"

Duomi ran away, returned to his room, took out the clothes he wanted to change, walked into his bathroom, and came out steaming after a while.

After coming back from the rain, taking a shower is the most comfortable thing. I feel that my whole body is much more relaxed and my mood has improved a lot.

He just sat calmly at his desk, looking at the darkened sky outside the window and the rain curtain that blurred the window lattice, and the sound of pattering raindrops could be heard in his ears. It was a perfect atmosphere!

At this moment, he wanted to do nothing but be in a daze.

However, not long after, there was a knock on the door outside the room.

When I opened the door, I saw it was Sia. She had changed into a white floral dress. Her long rose hair was still a little moist. She had obviously just taken a shower. She was holding two bottles of hot water in glass bottles. milk.

She raised a glass of milk and said, "I've brought a 'meeting gift' here. Don't you welcome me to come in and sit down?"

Duomi seemed to be cooperating on purpose:

"Come on, come and bring any gifts. Xiao Xia is really cool~~"

"Looking for a fight..."

ding~~

The two sat on the edge of the bed, clinked glasses, and finished the milk in a few gulps.

I have to say that it feels a lot better to have something to drink after taking a shower. Girls are more thoughtful. Like him, he just fell into a daze and couldn't think of so many things in his mind.

"You came all the way here just to drink some milk, right?"

"Of course~ Do you still remember the reason why I wanted to stay in the castle on the mountain in the first place?"

Duomi quickly thought of it:
