My Belittled Husband Is A Billionaire

Themis’ POV

“Brother, I’m so glad that I will finally get to live here with you!” Elisse enthusiastically said to me as soon as Winter left.

I smiled at her. “I’m glad, too. By the way, I already asked the maids to clean your room so you could finally sleep there later. But in the meantime, I think you should take a bath and have a change of clothes before we go have dinner.”

“Okay!”

“Now, I can already feel at ease knowing that you no longer have to roam around the streets to sell vegetables and fruits.”

“Is it really fine for me to stay here, brother?”

“Of course. You know I already treat you like my little sister, so there’s no problem if you stay here with us. From now on, you don’t have to worry about anything anymore.” I said as I pinched both of her cheeks.

Later on, I asked the maids to help Elisse take a bath while I proceed to my room to take a bath, too.

I’m really glad that Winter decided to bring Elisse here. She has been living the life of a total servant in her aunt’s household. At least, while she’s here, she’ll get to live her life like the other kids. Elisse actually reminds me of my younger brother when we were kids. That is why I feel the responsibility of taking care of her.

“Is this really my room?!”

“Uh-huh. From now on, you will be having this as your room.” I said.

A huge smile appeared on Elisse’s face. “This is so beautiful, brother! I have never seen such a beautiful room like this in my entire life! And this is much bigger than our house! We could all fit in here!”

“Is it? Well, I’m glad you liked it. One of these days, maybe we could also ask Winter if you can have your playroom.”

“A-A playroom?!”

“Yes. A room where you could play all day with your friends. We can request for some toys and maybe a slide, so you wouldn’t get bored.”

Elisse suddenly shook her head. “I think that would be too much, brother. Having this room all to myself is already too much.”

“This is not too much. We just really want to help you. You’re still a child, you have to experience being one.”

“Brother, can I ask something?”

“Huh? Sure. What is it?”

“Why are you so kind to me? I’m not even your real sister, and I don’t think I can pay you anything in return.”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

I gently pat her head with a smile on my face. “I don’t even know why, but I feel like taking care of you. And even though you are not biologically related to me, I treat you like my real sister. You don’t have to pay anything in return, you just need to be a good girl. Can you promise me that?”

“I promise! And I also promise to help the maids maintain this mansion’s cleanliness.”

“That’s my girl.”

After showing her room, we went straight to the dining room to have dinner. I thought Winter didn’t want to have dinner with us, but then she suddenly arrived and sat at the table.

“Good evening, Miss Winter!” Elisse greeted her with a bow.

“Looks like you’re already enjoying yourself here, huh?”

“Yes, I am. Thank you so much for letting me stay here in your house, Miss Winter!”

Winter rolled her eyes. “Quit thanking me now. I didn’t let you stay here because I wanted to. Just do what you want and stop bothering me already.”

“Yes, Miss Winter!”

I couldn’t help but smile while looking at the two of them. For some reason, I actually think they look like sisters. They have the same eyes and smiles. And although Winter seems to act cold around Elisse, I can see that she cares for her. She wouldn’t bring her here if she doesn’t.

“By the way, Winter. I actually want to ask something.”

“Spill it out. Just make sure it’s important,” She said without taking her eyes off her food.

I glanced at Elisse before speaking. “I’m just wondering if we can actually organize a playroom for Elisse. As you know, for sure you wouldn’t want her running around inside this mansion. That is why I think it would be better if she had a room where she can play with her friends.”

“A playroom? Why? What is she, a princess? She’s not even a visitor. And as I have said, I didn’t bring her here to just play around and live like a princess. If she wants to play, then she can play inside her room. Now, if she’s still not contented with that, then might as well she just leave and go back to where she came from.”

“Winter–

“It’s alright, brother. Miss Winter is right, I can just play inside my room. I’m not used to having a playroom anyway, and I also promised I would help the maids clean this house.”

I heaved a sigh. “Alright then. I guess we can’t convince your sister for now. Maybe you should show her how such a good girl you are and maybe later, she would agree.”

“I would never agree with that. You should never give that kid false hopes. And you, little kid. Make sure to help the maids wash the dishes if you don’t want to get kicked out of this house.” Winter said as she stood up and left.

Elisse then looked at me again with a frown on her face. “I almost thought she is a good person like you, brother. But I guess she’s just like my aunt. She’s a witch.”

“Don’t say things like that to her, Elisse. After all, she still took you in. And for sure, she’s just saying those things because she is not used to having another person in this house. But soon enough, you’ll realize she has a good side.”
