My Dear Duke(BL)
Chapter 133: Balance & Attention

Chapter 133: Balance & Attention

"Ah, Miss Lara. Sit down."

In the morning of a random day, Miss Lara came to visit Felix. He actually expected her to come in an earlier day but he didn’t rush her either since she must be adjusting back to her life here.

"Thank you, duke."

Miss Lara smiled and thanked Felix as she sat down.

"I am here to talk about the possible arrangements for Miss Anne’s classes. I am sorry it took so long to meet you to have a discussion about this. I got quite busy."

"No problem. So, does Miss Lara want to continue the same schedule for her classes? Or, do you plan to change it?"

"No. I think we can continue just like how we did it before. I just wanted to know when we can officially start."

"I see. I already informed her about your comeback and she said she still has some of the work you left her to do. Her wish was to start class from the beginning of next month."

"Let’s do it like that then. I want her to complete that work to move to our next lessons too. So it will be more convenient."

"Then I will inform her. Does Miss Lara wish for any changes in payment?"

"No no. The same."

"Okay."

Felix and Miss Lara talked about starting Anne’s classes and then, she left soon after without further talk. After she left, Felix called Anne, informing her of what he discussed with Miss Lara.

"That’s good. I can finish everything just on time. Thank you for listening to me."

"Mm."

"Umm...So...Is father very busy today?"

Anne asked hesitantly, yet looking hopeful.

"...Why?"

Felix asked and Anne pouted.

"Don’t you know why?"

"...Do you want to have tea together?"

Felix asked, already knowing this was for it.

"Yeah."

"Okay. I will come at the usual time."

"Mm. Today, we will have tea in the garden. And, bring brother Ash too, okay?!"

Anne excitedly said.

"If you want him there, why don’t you ask him by yourself?"

"It’s the same if I ask or you ask. Just bring him with you and don’t ask questions."

"...Why are you ordering me around? Huh! Right...Now you’re not stuttering calling me. Did you finally get used to calling me father?"

Felix asked with teaseful tone, making Anne squint her eyes and pout again.

"Yeah...I finally figured you are not much of an idiot so I finally managed to bring myself to call you father gracefully."

Anne, being snarky, said which made Felix scoff.

"Huh! So how did I suddenly become not so much of an idiot?"

Felix asked, sounding offended even though he wasn’t.

"Since you finally caught brother Ash."

Anne said, smiling.

"What do you mean by caught?"

Felix raised an eyebrow, confused about what she actually meant. However, just as she then talked, he understood...

"Caught him in your love web. Caught him in your arms. Caught him in your eye-"

"Okay, that’s enough. Now I finally know I am not an idiot. Thank you dear daughter."

Felix disturbed her before she finished because he didn’t know when it would end, given the fact she looked confident in what she knew about how he ’caught’ Asher.

"Hehe...Yes dear father. I know I am great."

Anne and Felix continued their very friendly argument for some more time which they had always been used to as Anne loved insulting Felix innocently.

He knew she thought of him to be an idiot. Maybe he really was one but she didn’t have to remind him about that all the time though.

Actually, there were many times she had called him an idiot. He was afraid very soon, Asher would call him an idiot too. Since he mostly hangs around with her, Asher might get influenced to be as mischievous as her too.

’She better not corrupted my innocent Asher.’

Thought Felix who already knew Asher wasn’t so innocent.

Actually, if Asher were to know him thinking this way, he couldn’t agree with the duke.

Because, it’s not Anne that corrupts him in any way.

How could she make him mischievous or bad?

She was his innocent, sweet, cutest little angel.

She could do no wrong.

It’s the duke himself who is bad.

It’s him who makes Asher bad.

Definitely the duke!

The duke...

He smiles, he grins, he gently caresses him, he blushes easily, he begs when helpless, he hides his face when embarrassed and he does more...

Who should be blamed when Asher loses his mind?

Obviously the duke who seduces him like that who also corrupts him and had made him into such a mischievous, perverted guy.

’Sigh...Everything just led to thinking about Asher.’

Felix and Anne finally ended the conversation and when she finally left, Felix, for some time, just dazed around thinking about Asher.

Then, he left a sigh, disappointed in himself for getting distracted and got back to work again.

It was the usual cycle of what was happening with him while he was inside that office.

He works, Asher comes and squeeze his butt, then he daydreams, work again, Asher pop up in his mind, few more seconds to daydream, then work again, Asher come and kiss him and pinch his nipples, then Felix stay daydreaming while caressing his hurt chest, work and again, Asher...

This never ends.

Asher was always there

So was his work though.

But before, it was only work. Just work!

Morning, day, night, he was stressed and depressed about planning or not being able to finish his tasks.

But now...he had pushed himself out of that strict time table.

He needed time management but, not to the point he can’t even sleep in peace since he put in too much work for one day, wishing to end the whole week’s work in three days and spend the other free days educating himself again and again on the same thing or boringly rechecking what he did.

It was just a routine he didn’t put much energy into planning at first. It was exhausting. Even though he actually could have been benefited by those three days of hardwork and the free whole days, it didn’t as he couldn’t find anything good to do other than spending time with Anne which he obviously wasn’t doing all the time. It was a big mess he didn’t think he had any problem with. Till...he realised he needed daily breaks.

Maybe rather than a proper time table, all he wanted was someone to make him change his mind.

To give him more meaning to free time and more encouragement to give himself a break and enjoy his time outside of just working.

When he changed his schedule to a more comfortable one, Felix thought more and got an understanding as to how to balance both work and Asher.

So...it was never a problem whenever Asher came to spend time with him.

Asher, of course, knew the importance of the responsibilities the duke had.

So, Asher would not cross a limit just to have the duke’s attention. If the duke was very busy, he would obviously look so, even if he would try to make it look like it’s not that serious so Asher wouldn’t feel down.

Asher had gotten so used to Felix’s expressions and behaviours that Asher could tell what kind of a situation the duke is in just by taking a few glances. So with that, he always helped the duke by not bothering him when he is busy. He would only visit and take a little time if the duke was not that busy. But, most of the time, the duke wouldn’t be busy. In those days, Asher would make sure to play around with the duke a little longer.

It was so simple.

Everything was balanced and everyone got the attention and joy they needed!

Well, Asher always got a little bit more of all those though...

But who complains about it?

No one.

Asher is the winner everywhere.

He just deserves it...
