Hearing Frederica's seductive yet utterly shameless and despicable words behind him.
Qin suddenly remembered what had happened when she came into the office.
—Frederica made a point of letting her in first, and then locked the door after she entered.
At first, she didn't think there was anything wrong with letting Qin in first because she was afraid that Lin Jiu'an would punish her for doing something wrong. She also used the excuse that "walls have ears" to lock the door.
But now it seems...
I heard a faint "hmm" behind me and the sound of someone getting up from their chair.
Qin's mind went blank.
What kind of mother did I end up with?
Epilogue to Chapter 31: Barbara's Midnight Adventure (4K)
That night.
The Gunnhilds.
The bright moonlight shone through the window and onto the bed.
Barbara slept for a while before realizing she had forgotten to draw the curtains.
"So it was the moonlight that kept you awake?"
Barbara remained in a daze for a while.
She has been back at the Gunnhilds' house for quite some time now.
She had been living in a room prepared for her by the church, but due to various events after Lin Jiu'an's arrival, as well as her mother Frederica's personal talk to her and the fact that living outside was somewhat dangerous, she decided to return home.
Thinking about it, Barbara got up and drew the curtains.
However, after sitting up, with her delicate little feet dangling over the edge of the bed, Barbara seemed to have nowhere to go.
Lin Jiu'an is back.
He is still staying at Gunnhild's house today.
However, his manor outside the city has been completed, and he will move there tomorrow.
Looking down at her fair thighs and swaying calves, Barbara bit her lower lip slightly.
"why?"
Barbara didn't understand why she would think of Lin Jiu'an every time she closed her eyes.
She had initially thought she would hate him.
I hate that man who indiscriminately kills innocent people.
I hate that man who bullied my mother.
I hate that man who deliberately ignores me and no longer cares about me.
At least.
I shouldn't think of him like that.
It's like a past life.
Even after he left Mondstadt.
She only felt like someone was missing for a while, but she quickly stopped caring.
but.
During the time Lin Jiu'an left Mondstadt for Liyue and Inazuma, Barbara found herself thinking about him almost every day, and even dreaming about him every few days.
She might even dream of him brutally abusing her, ignoring her pleas.
Especially today.
When I learned that the man had returned.
They were relieved when they learned that the man was staying at their house again.
Barbara still remembers the time she was at the dinner table when she learned that his estate had been completed and that today might be the last time he stayed at Gunnhilds; her mind went completely blank.
Barbara didn't even know what she was thinking.
I've been thinking about this non-stop and haven't been able to fall asleep yet.
"Do I really like him?"
She once asked a married nun in the church.
Of course, it wasn't mentioned that the person was Lin Jiu'an.
The final answer was, 'Our Barbara is in love.'
"how is this possible?"
Barbara shook her head, recalling what she had seen the other person and her mother doing outside the window that day.
but no matter.
So much time has passed.
They left twice, once to Liyue and once to Inazuma.
Barbara sadly discovered that she couldn't forget him at all, as if she were possessed. Even after he returned, she still couldn't sleep.
"No."
Barbara got up, slipped on her slippers, and left the room.
They walked towards Lin Jiu'an's room.
She didn't know why she had to go, but she knew that if she didn't go to see him, things would probably stay like this for a very long time.
As Barbara walked along, she suddenly saw the door open in front of her, and then she saw Frederica come out of the bathroom, still wet.
Her face held an expectation that Barbara had never seen before, along with an expression that Barbara didn't quite understand.
"Mother?"
"Barbara?"
What puzzled Barbara even more was...
Frederica visibly panicked when she saw her.
But it was fleeting.
Frederica then asked, half-scoldingly, "It's so late, why aren't you resting yet?"
"I'm sorry, Mother, I can't sleep, so I thought I'd go for a walk."
Barbara couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mother, why aren't you resting so late?"
She remembered that her mother had a very regular schedule; if there was nothing serious, she would usually rest before ten o'clock.
"There are some things that haven't been dealt with."
Frederica said casually, seemingly unwilling to continue the conversation.
"Alright, it's getting late, you should go home and get some rest."
After saying that, Frederica left.
Watching her mother leave with her slightly hurried steps, Barbara was puzzled; she had a feeling that her mother had something urgent to attend to.
But it's so late, what could be making my mother so anxious?
Barbara didn't quite understand, but after her mother's interruption, the courage she had built up to see Lin Jiu'an vanished.
Let's take a walk.
As Barbara walked, she found herself in the corridor leading to Lin Jiu'an's room.
What if he happens to be like me, unable to sleep at night and going for a walk?
With such anticipation, Barbara was about to walk over when she suddenly heard footsteps. She immediately shrank back and peeked out, only to see her mother, whom she had just seen at the bathroom door, appear on the other side of the corridor.
Unlike just now when she simply wrapped herself in a bath towel.
now.
The mother, however, was wearing a sexy, deep-V, backless, bright red Wa dress.
Her face showed an expectation and excitement that Barbara had never seen before.
They went straight to Lin Jiu'an's door.
After a while, the door was opened, and Barbara saw a man's hand appear inside, wrapping around her mother's waist. Her mother, with a charming smile, opened her arms.
Subsequently.
Barbara watched helplessly as the two kissed passionately at the door.
Although the man's face was obscured by his mother from this angle, Barbara knew exactly who he was.
Barbara couldn't help but cry out, but thankfully she covered her mouth in time. She stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief. She knew there was something between her mother and Lin Jiu'an, but she never expected that things would develop to this point.
By the time Barbara came to her senses, the door had already closed.
Barbara's hands fell limply to her sides, and she plopped down on the floor, staring helplessly at the closed door.
Especially after thinking about what her mother and Lin Jiu'an were doing at that moment, Barbara's mind went blank, and she felt wronged and wanted to cry.
Obviously...
"Barbara?"
"What are you doing here so late?"
Sudden.
A mature and alluring woman's voice sounded behind Barbara.
Barbara turned her head and saw Miss Lisa, who was visiting her home today.
Miss Lisa's clothes are a bit strange.
It was summer, and although Mondstadt was situated on Cider Lake and was relatively cool, it was far from being cool enough to warrant wearing a coat. However, Lisa was wearing a brown coat that completely covered her body.
"I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk."
Although she longed to confide in someone, Barbara knew that she shouldn't tell outsiders about this.
But Barbara wasn't good at lying.
Both the clumsy lie and her flustered expression told Lisa that she was lying.
Lisa glanced up slightly at Lin Jiu'an's door in the corridor and understood what had happened. She didn't expose her, but smiled and said, "Sister has a magic potion that can help people sleep. Do you need some?"
"No, no need."
Seeing Lisa's smile, which seemed to see right through her, Barbara dared not talk to Lisa any longer.
"I'm going back to rest first."
He said it hastily.
Barbara fled as if she were running away.
Watching Barbara's retreating figure.
Lisa touched her sexy red lips with her finger, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
"It's so cute."
"I wonder who's cuter, you or Qin, when they're both in his bed?"
Immediately, she headed straight for Lin Jiu'an's room.
She knocked on the door, and soon it opened. From the doorway, Lisa saw Frederica, who was lying by the bed with her bright red evening dress pulled up to her back, and immediately understood.
Why are you laughing so happily?
As Lin Jiu'an spoke, he reached inside her coat and lifted it up for her.
As the coat fell to his feet, the outfit underneath was revealed—it was also a witch's costume.
However, unlike her usual witch outfit, this outfit seemed to cover everything, but in a way, it didn't really cover anything, and the material seemed to be somewhat similar to the material of the stockings she usually wore.
