Chapter 135: Don’t Run Away (2)
Ever since then, Mirabelle dogged Kuhn’s footsteps constantly . Currently, Kuhn was resting in the shade after raking the garden, collecting branches and cutting firewood . It had been backbreaking work . He noticed Mirabelle approaching him, and he moved away to avoid her . He could lose her if he really wanted to, as she wasn’t a good runner .
” Kuhn~ Kuuhn~”
Mirabelle was on him again like a chick after its mother .
Kwadang!
She tripped over a stone and tumbled to the ground .
“Ah!”
Mirabelle glanced at Kuhn’s retreating figure before checking her knee . Her gaze on him felt so desperate that Kuhn stopped walking without even realizing it . Then he turned around and headed towards where Mirabelle had fallen .
“Huh?”
She looked up in surprise when she noticed that Kuhn was suddenly standing before her . Kuhn didn’t hide his speed, but Mirabelle thought she must have blinked . Kuhn reached out his hand and spoke in a dull monotone .
“Are you all right?”
“Yes, I’m fine . ”
Mirabelle took his hand, and Kuhn lifted her up . The skirt of her dress had a smear of blood . Perhaps she had skinned her knee .
“Why do you keep coming after me?”
Mirabelle responded with a bright expression .
“Did you come back because I fell?”
“…”
Kuhn hesitated to answer . Mirabelle was the mistress, and Kuhn was the servant . It would be mutiny to say no . However, she spoke before he could reply .
“Thank goodness . You were still paying attention to me . I was afraid I was being a nuisance . ”
Kuhn felt momentarily frustrated at Mirabelle’s remark . Of course she was a nuisance . She was a fool if she couldn’t pick up his cues, but she continued on, unabated .
“Next time you walk fast, I’ll just fall down . I realized I can’t catch up to you at my own pace . ”
“Why do you want to catch me?”
“I want to talk with you like now, and eat meals with you—”
“Do it with the other servants . ”
“I want to do it with Kuhn . ”
“…Others would say it’s favoritism . ”
“I don’t care . ”
Mirabelle’s eyes were set . In contrast to her delicate appearance, she was extraordinarily stubborn . Kuhn stared at Mirabelle’s injured knee and then spoke .

“Is there not a wedding dress you have to work on?”
It was the only time Kuhn was free . Mirabelle was also very busy, and she had to hurry to complete the dress before the wedding date arrived .
“I do have to go back in a little while . I just had a moment to spare . ”
“Just rest and don’t force yourself to go out . Why would you come here this when you’re weak?”
“If you’re worried about me, then don’t run away . ”
“…Haaaa . ”
Kuhn sighed . He didn’t have any other words to say . Suddenly, as they were walking along, Mirabelle grimaced as pain shot up her knee .
“Ouch . ”
Kuhn glanced at Mirabelle .
“I’ll call the maid . ”
“Oh, no . I’ll feel better after I sit down for a while . Where to sit… . Ah! There’s a bench over there”
Mirabelle pointed towards a solid stone bench . It was ornamental, not made for sitting, but it would do in this situation . Mirabelle took a step towards it, when Kuhn stopped her .
“Please wait . ”

“What?”
She soon understood what he meant . Kuhn walked towards the bench and easily lifted it, then walked back and deposited it in front of Mirabelle .
“Wow . ”
Mirabelle’s mouth dropped . She knew how heavy it was, but the slender-figured Kuhn had carried it without any difficulty .
“You’re incredible . ”
Despite Mirabelle’s praise, there was not a flicker of recognition across Kuhn’s face .
“Sit down and rest . ”
Mirabelle rested herself on the chair . The stone was hard against her legs, but strangely, it felt warmer than any other chair . She looked up at Kuhn .
“You are very kind . ”
Kuhn looked at her disbelievingly .
“Kind? No…do you mean me?”
“Is there anyone else here?”
Mirabelle smiled . Kuhn might try to run from her reach, but in the end he would always be caught by her . And so she kept chasing him more .

‘Do you know my feelings?’
She looked up, the clear blue sky coming into view behind him . Spring was coming soon . The lovely weather would be a perfect time for a picnic .
“Why don’t we go on a picnic after the wedding?”
“…”
Kuhn, unlike the sweet-minded Mirabelle, vowed to capture the mysterious person in Blaise mansion as soon as possible .
Time fled by quickly, until it was the day before Elena and Carlisle’s wedding . Elena woke up early in the morning and pushed herself out of bed .
‘It’s tomorrow . ’
Only one more day . The long-awaited wedding would be here .
