I was possessed and it turned out to be a villainous sub dog?! — 6.2

“No… It’s because it’s a black panther. It’s so hard for a small, fragile dog to hold a black panther baby. So please be nice to me.”

“Small and fragile…”

“no?”

“The puppy is small.”

Chase was muttering with a mischievous expression, and instead of pinching his lips, he ended up pressing down on both of his cheeks. Chase’s lips popped out like a bird’s beak.

Even in the midst of all this daily fussing, preparations for childbirth were progressing step by step. The small living room was so full of maternity bags and baby supplies that there was no room to step. If the baby were to come out like this, there wouldn’t be a proper place to put the baby.

‘Oh, that’s it. Since the morning sickness will go away once Yeon-tan is born, will Chase and l break up like this?’

I was looking around the living room without thinking much when suddenly this thought occurred to me.

I remembered that the reason I came to this house in the first place was because of Chase’s morning sickness, and that we had decided to live together until the morning sickness got better. As the morning sickness lasted longer than expected, we spent time together until my stomach was this bog, but after giving birth, there was no need for that anymore.

‘Then what should I do? I don’t want to go back to Caesar’s mansion.’

By now, the Vice President and everyone at the Kaisa Mansion would have known about my pregnancy. I tried to hide it as much as possible until I reached a stable period, but after that my belly started to grow noticeably. I couldn’t hide it anymore, so I didn’t bother to be careful. Furthermore, since I often showed up at the company after acquiring Tesati, if the Vice President was interested in me, he would have known about it long ago.

However, the vice president simply being aware of Yeontan’s existence and the vice president taking the baby to live in his den were completely different issues. It seemed like it would be better to find a separate house and live there.

But can I live alone with a newborn baby?

“Why are you spacing out again? Are you hungry?”

Things got serious, but Chase, not being able to read the mood, said something strange. He must think I only think about eating every day. I grumbled and said no, but this time he raised one eyebrow and made a puzzled expression.

“You look so annoyed, I guess you’re hungry.”

“I said no!”

“Which one would you like to eat galbijjim, samgyetang, a whole chicken, kimchi stew, or tangsuyuk?”

“I have my worries too! …But it’s been a while since I’ve had galbijjim.”

“I’ll do it if you promise not to turn into a puppy again and go into the pot.”

“Then you can give me a lot.”

I wasn’t really hungry or upset, but strangely, I felt better. I guess I was a little anxious because I was thinking about moving out. I stuck close to Chase, who was busy moving around the kitchen, and meddled in this and that. I wish it was a little sweeter than last time. And there was a lot of meat, a lot of meat…

“What will I do if Yeontan is born and I can’t eat things like this?”

As I stared blankly at Chase’s hands making the sauce and marinating the meat, I couldn’t help but feel sincere. It wasn’t that I wanted to continue living with Chase, it was just that I missed the galbijjim. It really was.

“Why can’t you eat it? I think Yeontan would like it too, seeing you eating it. I’ll make it often.”

“huh?”

You’re even offering buffet service? Can you really treat me like that when I’m not even pregnant?

I blinked and looked up to see Chase clicking his tongue. Then he suddenly reached out and wiped the area near my lips with his finger.

“Are you worried that the swelling won’t go down? You’re already drooling like this.”

“No! When did I!”

“What is that thing here if it’s not saliva?”

“…”

Then how can you not be drooling when galbijjim is being made right next to you? I grumbled to myself while glancing at Chase.

Chase, who had been concentrating on the galbijjim as if he were creating a work of art, opened his mouth as if he had remembered something to say.

“Oh, I guess I should start looking for a house. Is there anywhere you want to go?”

“Huh? What is it?”

“Which area do you like? You hated this area because of the ice lake.”

“How did you know?”

“How would I know, you flinch every time you pass by the lake. That’s why I put up new curtains.”

Was that why there were thick curtains suddenly hanging on the living room window one day? I was surprised to see that the black panther guy was so meticulous, but now I realized that wasn’t the problem. Chase is moving, so why are you asking where I want to go?

“It’s still a long way from when Garden City will start development. I think we can start looking for a house to move into next year.”

I hesitated for a moment, wondering what to say. Chase responded as if it was obvious.

“How can I raise a baby in this house? Thanks to someone, I have a high salary now, so I should get a mortgage and move into a bigger house. Right?”

“uh…”

So… Yeontan and I were going together? Really? Why?

So naturally and subtly? You’re asking me to live with you? Do you like me that much?

Is he a nine-tailed fox, not a black panther? Shouldn’t we count how many tails it has?

“…That’s right.”

But I decided to let it slide just this once, because even Chase would feel embarrassed if I openly criticized him. I suppress my urge to press Chase like a question mark killer and nodded seriously.

It was never my intention to let it go because I wanted to continue living with Chase. It would have been too much for me to take care of Yeon-tan all by myself, and Chase, as a father, had a responsibility to raise the baby together, and it made more sense to spend time with the baby when he was young rather than wasting energy going back and forth…

“Puppy, you’re weird. Why do you keep giggling like that these days?”

“What? When did I!”

“What good thoughts are you having on your own? You don’t even know how to lower the corners of your mouth, right now.”

“No, I said no. It’s not good at all…”

I avoided Chase’s gaze, trailing off with my words. I didn’t know why he was blaming me for the good things when I was the one who benefited.

[…Accordingly, the demand for ships has recently surged, increasing the number of ship orders for domestic and foreign shipbuilders. However, considering that it takes an average of 2 to 3 years to build a ship, it seems that the current ship shortage will not be easily resolved.]

The finished galbijjim had an irresistible sweet and fragrant taste. The moment I took a bite, the meat melted in my mouth and tears welled up in my eyes.

As I was about to eat my food, my nose buried in the bowl, Chase suddenly turned on the TV. It was time to study today’s current affairs again.

I suddenly lost my appetite… but I was dissatisfied that I had to watch it right now. If it was news that Tesati was doing well, I would have been excited to watch it with galbijjim as an accompaniment. But this didn’t seem to have much to do with it.

“Can’t I look at that later?”

“Huh? Why?”

Why? Are you really asking because you don’t know? I looked up at Chase in discontent, and for some reason he looked like he didn’t know what was going on.

“You like this kind of news, right?”

Me? When? Is this the time to say what you want? Do you want me to study like that? Then why are you doing this to me instead of just meeting a genius or a top student?

…When I thought about it, that was me. It wasn’t really me, but the original Leoruka of the story. Why on earth did I possess the body of a genius? The gap is too big to just say I lost my memory every time!

As I began to lament my fate in my head, Chase tilted his head and asked again.

“You told me to let you know when there’s news about Tesati. When was the last time you clapped your hands in joy? Did you get bored of it?”

“…”

What? This had something to do with Tesati? I couldn’t bring myself to ask, so I bit my lips. It wasn’t that I was bored, I just didn’t know….
