Another Life, Another Me

77. Who Is It

No...

No.

No...

Since when was Sophie such a mature-looking, sexy woman?!

Where did the strict motherly maid that once raised me since childhood go...???

Did she have a major glow-up or something...???

"Is that you...Sophie...?" I asked a bit hesitantly.

Maybe I was mistaken...

After all, the Sophie that I remember was just an average maid.

She wasn't the type of woman to make all men kneel in front of her just with her beauty alone...!

"Cordelia! It's so good to see you again," she replied as she stepped over to me quickly and immediately saved me from the clutches of my father.

No way...

It really was Sophie...

She wasn't wearing her maid outfit anymore and her brown hair wasn't tied up in her usual neat, tidy bun either.

And she was even wearing makeup, which was something maids usually didn't have enough money to buy.

Holy cow...

My new step-mother is super hot.

"Alastair, how many times do I have to tell you to control yourself in front of Cordelia?? She's already a grown woman, so you can't keep treating her like an innocent child anymore!" she said harshly to my father, who pouted a little.

"Well...I was just so happy she decided to visit us all of a sudden so..." my father murmured a bit childishly as he tried coming up with as many different excuses as he could.

Hmm...

On the other hand, my father looks exactly like a puppy, even though he exudes the handsome charm of a mature older man.

Sophie and Father...

I can already imagine the mayhem that will appear at their wedding.

A hot man marrying an even hotter woman.

The other nobles will be talking about them for the next few weeks...maybe even months after their wedding.

"I'm sorry...Sophie..." my father muttered quietly as he dipped his head into Sophie's shoulder from embarrassment.

"Ah...W-Well, as long as you understand what you did wrong, Alastair..." Sophie stuttered slightly.

My father couldn't see it, because his head was too low, but Sophie was blushing adorably at my father's puppy-like antics.

She quickly fixed her expression and whacked my father in the head before he could look up and notice though.

"How long are you going to have your head in my shoulder for?!" Sophie protested as she pushed my father away.

It was at this moment...I realized...

Sophie is a tsundere.

"Hehe...I'm sorry. I just wanted to see how cutely you would react," my father said smoothly as he gave a wide smile.

"Wha-" Sophie said with wide eyes as her face flushed pink and she whacked my father on the head again a few times.

Ugh...

I didn't know whether to be disgusted or happy to see them so deeply in love.

On one hand, seeing my father flirt made me cringe a little...and almost made me nauseous enough to throw up...
