Once Baroness Rose heard this, she stood up with a happy smile and walked over to Haley.
Haley was surprised by this and was a bit scared of what would come, but she still calmly sat there and waited to see what Baroness Rose would do.
However, she was caught off guard by what Baroness Rose actually did.
Baroness Rose came right up to her and…took her in her arms, pulling her into a hug. She said with the same smile, "I've always wanted a little sister."
Haley's eyes opened wide in shock when she felt this, but she couldn't help letting herself be pulled into her embrace. That was because this kind of soft and gentle embrace was not something that she had experienced before, even from her actual family.
Her parents had never been advocates of soft love.
So while they did praise her for her achievements, they had never done things like hugging before.
So this was the first hug that she was receiving.
No, she did receive a hug from Zwein before, but the feeling of this hug was different from that.
That hug…was special. But that didn't mean that this hug wasn't special in its own way.
It wasn't a bad feeling as she let her body relax in Baroness Rose's embrace.
Finally, she said, "I've always wanted a big sister too."
Baroness Rose revealed a happy smile before she started chatting with Haley.
I just sat there with a smile on my face as I watched all of this. After all, I was happy to see that the two of them were getting along so well like this.
To the side, Nicole and Jessica couldn't help revealing a slightly envious look since they too wanted this to happen to them. But they knew to keep this to themselves since they didn't have the same things to offer as Haley did.
After the two of them talked for a bit, Baroness Rose stood up again and walked back to where I was sitting. She sat back down and turned to Nicole and Jessica to say, "You two did a good job. Keep it up and we'll have something to talk about."
When the two of them heard this, they couldn't help revealing surprised looks, but there was also a trace of hope in their eyes.
I also understood what she meant by this and I couldn't help looking at her with a purely surprised look.
Baroness Rose just looked at me with a faint smile and didn't say anything else.
I hadn't even mentioned anything about this before and she was already looking for more girls for me…
I really didn't know what to say in response to this.
Once that had been settled, Baroness Rose didn't bother asking about the trip and instead said to Haley, "It's not the right time to have a proper talk yet, so let's have dinner together. I'm sure that you want to go back and take care of your employees first, right?"
Haley gave a nod in response to this.
Since there was nothing else to discuss, she did want to get back to her employees to make sure that everything was done correctly and that there wasn't any trouble with the locals.
These kinds of things had happened before, so she was worried about this.
Baroness Rose gave a nod too before saying, "You can go."
She turned to Nicole and Jessica to say, "You two can lead her there."
All three of them stood up after receiving their orders and they headed out, leaving the two of us alone in the room.
Once they were all gone, Baroness Rose suddenly came over to me and entered my embrace.
The two of us just sat there like this without saying a word, cuddling with each other.
Then she suddenly said, "I missed you."
I looked down at her and said, "I missed you too."
There was nothing else to say after that, I just leaned forward over her lips and placed a gentle kiss on them.
For the rest of the morning and afternoon, the two of us just spent our time together in the room.
It wasn't that we were doing what one would think, there were ways to connect other than physical.
We mainly just cuddled and talked about everything that happened in the city.
When dinner came, we had no choice but to get up since there was an appointment that we needed to keep.
When we arrived in the dining hall, we found that Haley and Cecilia were already both there waiting for us.
Just like with Baroness Rose, the moment that Cecilia saw me, she got up and ran over to hug me.
She hadn't been here this morning and afternoon since she was on a training trip with her men, but now that she was back and saw me, she didn't hold back at all.
Haley couldn't help being surprised since she had only heard that Baroness Rose was the wife, she never knew that there was already another concubine before her.
I just revealed a happy smile and patted Cecilia on the head, letting her just hug me like that.
Once she was done, she gave a cough and stood back up with a calm look on her face as she said, "I missed you."
I said with a smile, "I missed you too."
We all settled down to eat and that was when Haley was introduced to Cecilia.
While she was surprised, she was also relieved.
She had thought that she would be the only concubine, which would make it worse for her. But since Cecilia was already there setting a precedent for her, it made her position much easier for her to handle.
Cecilia also quickly took to Haley as well.
Haley as a merchant was very sociable and she was able to quickly win over Cecilia.
By the end of it, she was also calling Cecilia big sister.
The four of us enjoyed a happy meal together and when it was over, we were all satisfied.
However, the entertainment was far from over just yet.
