I Won't Go Back To My Family Who Abandon Me novel Chapter 96

The Leroy family sent letters to Leticia constantly until they were deported, but she never replied.

Keena, who was sitting on the other side of the room, laughed in disgust when she saw that another letter had arrived today.

“Here they are again.”

Unlike Keena, who jokingly patted the letter, Leticia drank her tea slowly.

“I didn’t expect them to leave quietly.”

She hadn’t expected it to go nicely, but she was more tired and jittery than she’d expected.

Leticia didn’t really want to think about it, so she turned to Keena.

“How are you doing these days?”

“It’s me. I’m doing well.”

Public opinion changed in an instant when it was revealed that Marquis Leroy’s scheme had caused the family to be charged with treason. Every once in a while, people would recognize her, and give her a sympathetic look. Sometimes they even gave her words of consolation, so Keena would quickly leave with an awkward smile.

“I might get a little busier soon.”

Now that the stigma around her was removed, she was now officially the head of the Erebos family, and Keena was stepping up to manage her territory. Most of the Leroy’s lands were originally owned by the Erebos family, so it was being reverted back to her.

“It’s all thanks to your fiancé’s help.”

Perhaps it was because she knew him, but it was easy for her to ask for help, and she felt comfortable enough to receive it.

“He seems like a good person.”

“Of course. I’ve never seen anyone better than Enoch.”

Leticia had been sitting calmly until words of praise for Enoch were spoken, and now her eyes lit up with excitement.

“I love it, I’m dying.”

“It’s so nice, what can I do?”

“I was worried when I saw you get kicked out.”

“Huh?”

Leticia was confused, but Keena didn’t notice and continued to talk.

“I’m sorry I doubted you when we first met.”

“Wait a minute.”

Leticia raised her hand for a moment, and stopped Keena.

At the time she was excommunicated, she heard someone following her. Later, she assumed it was all her imagination, but from what Keena was saying now.

“You were the one who followed me back then?”

“….”

Finally realizing the situation, Keena laughed unnaturally, and quietly stood up.

“Oh, my. I forgot I had something to do.”

She tried to run away, but before she knew it, Leticia was beside her. She grabbed Keena’s arm, and forced her to sit down again.

“It was you, right? The person who sometimes followed me around.”

“….”

“It was you.”

“….”

“Do you know how scared I was when someone was chasing me that night?”

When she thought about that time, she still got goosebumps.

Keena frowned a lot, as if what she said was unfair.

“You just wanted me to watch while you walked around without knowing how dangerous it was at night?”

“You were worried about me?”

“Of course.”

Keena replied in a frustrated tone.

She thought she’d be kicked out of the family sooner or later. As she’d expected, Leticia was soon excommunicated. Thanks to this, she thought it would be easy to gain access to her, but she also felt a little sorry for her and wanted to help.

“It’s dangerous to walk around alone at night.”

“I didn’t know you cared about me.”

“Apologize since you know now.”

“I’m sorry.”

“As long as you understand.”

However, she continued to pout as if she was still offended. Leticia looked at her theatrics, and gave her a bite of cake as an apology. Keena pretended to still be mad, but looked more relaxed.

They spent some time like this and before they knew it, it was evening. As she was getting ready to go home, she bumped into Enoch and Ian, who had just entered the building.

Enoch noticed that she was just about to leave, and made an unexpected offer.

“Since you’re here, you should have dinner with us.”

Keena glanced at Leticia, wondering if it was really okay. Leticia was excited about the idea, and pulled on her arm to tell her that she wanted her to stay. She agonized for a while, then reluctantly followed them.

“If you want me to.”

“Ta-da! Dinner! I prepared it myself!”

Elle said this with a smile as soon as she sat down to eat.

Now that everyone was sitting down, Elle presented the meal she’d had fun cooking for them, but no one was excited.

“Did you take the intestines out?”

Keena, who’d eaten the fish stew last time, asked anxiously. As soon as she made eye contact, Elle nodded confidently.

“Of course, I removed the scales too.”

“You must have worked hard. Thank you Elle.”

“As expected, Leticia’s the only one who appreciates me.”

Ian was the most suspicious of how proud she was. He took a bite of the stew, and stiffened immediately.

“The fish isn’t fully cooked.”

“Oh? That can’t be true. I boiled it for a really long time.”

“Look, it’s transparent on the inside.”

Ian frowned, and pointed to the undercooked part with his finger. At Ian’s words, Enoch quietly cleaned up the stew for Leticia.
