Two hours earlier, Reagan had risen as early as usual with the maids to supervise their work.

After turning around a little more, he found that the maids were doing their jobs dutifully, and Reagan nodded with satisfaction, it seemed that he was not derelict in his duty as the steward of the Griffin family.

But soon Reagan discovered that at the door of the Viscount's Palace, there was a small head that appeared and disappeared.

Reagan walked over suspiciously, only to see that this was the little girl who was brought home by the young master yesterday, Melly.

Reagan wondered: Didn't you send her home yesterday? Why did you come here again today?

"What are you doing here?" Reagan asked with a frown, although this little girl was a guest of the young master, he still felt in his heart that these civilians were not worthy of contact with the young master at all.

Melly shrank her head in fear, this whitebearded grandfather didn't look like a big brother at all.

"Are you here to find the young master?"

Melly shook her head like a rattle, "No, Melly is here to play with Yuna. ”

Reagan, as the butler of the Viscount's Mansion, remembered the names of the fifteen maids by heart, and naturally knew that Yuna was the black-haired cook, and the young master liked the food she cooked.

"Yuna? She's still working and can't play with you. Reagan wanted Melly to dispel the idea as soon as possible, so that she wouldn't hang around the door.

"Oh." Melly's little head nodded, and then asked, "Then when will she finish her work?" ”

Reagan rubbed his temples with a headache and explained, "Even if she finishes work, she won't play with you." ”

"Why? Yesterday, Yuna played with Melly for a long time after work. Melly asked curiously, staring at her.

This kid is so annoying, Reagan rubbed his head in pain.

"She's very busy at work, so she doesn't have time to play with you." Reagan wanted Melly to dispel the idea as soon as possible.

"Oh." Melly bowed her head in frustration.

Reagan thought that the other party was finally going to give up, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Melly asked again, "Can Melly wait here?" ”

"Whatever you want." Reagan shook his hand and left.

Reagan returned to the Viscount's Mansion and began to check the work in the Viscount's Mansion to ensure that the young master could have a comfortable breakfast when he got up.

But when he was working, he thought of the little girl who was still waiting at the door from time to time, and after a while, his heart was confused.

She's not going to be waiting there, is she? shouldn't be, if you were an ordinary person, you'd have long since left.

Puzzled in his heart, Reagan quietly walked to the door of the living room again, hid his figure and cautiously spied over.

In front of the gates of the Viscount's Palace.

Melly looked down at the small stone at the bottom of her feet, kicked it around lightly with her hands behind her back, and after a while she squatted down and drew some strange pattern on the ground with her fingers, and from time to time raised her head to look at the inside of the Viscount's Mansion, wanting to see if there was any change in it.

Reagan watched for about ten minutes, but Melly still showed no signs of wanting to leave.

Sighing, Reagan walked over anyway.

"Why are you still here?" he asked. Compared to before, the tone was much softened this time.

Melly shrunk her neck and took a step back, a little afraid of the white-bearded old man, and whispered, "Didn't you say it, Melly can stay here." ”

“……”

Reagan touched his face, he didn't seem to be that scary, right?

"I mean, why don't you stay at home?"

"There is no one at home to play with Melly, my brother went to the barracks for training, and Mom and Dad didn't let Melly go to the field to help, so Melly wanted to come to Yuna to play."

"What about the other children in your village?"

"They are all older than Melly, and they don't want to play with Melly, my brother used to play with me, and now Yuna is the only one willing to play with Melly."

Hearing Melly's words, Reagan felt a little sorry for this little girl, and was hesitating whether to let her in, but without the permission of the young master, it stands to reason that he should not be able to let people enter the Viscount's Mansion casually.

But then again, she was a guest invited home by the young master yesterday, and it was reasonable for him to invite her in.

While Reagan was struggling, Melly suddenly asked, "Grandpa, what are you doing in the Viscount's Mansion?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Reagan unconsciously puffed up his chest, "I'm the butler of the Viscount's Mansion!" ”

"Butler?" Melly tilted her head, "What's that for?" ”

Reagan gritted his teeth and thought about how to explain it, and finally said, "Anyway, it's very powerful, Yuna was recruited by me." ”

"Really! Turtle tortoise! Melly's eyes lit up suddenly, "That's really amazing." ”

Hearing others praise himself so directly, Reagan couldn't help but be happy in his heart, no one can make him so showy on weekdays, and the children's praise is heartfelt and not adulterated, which makes him even more excited and happy.

"Not really." Reagan's pride almost didn't give his head up, and being the steward of the Griffin family was the proudest thing in his life.

Melly jumped up and down in front of Reagan to attract his attention, reaching out and pointing her two little hands at herself with her index finger, "Grandpa Butler!" Look at Melly, can Melly be a maid in the Viscount's Palace? ”

As she said this, Melly's eyes were full of anticipation, and her big eyes looked straight at Reagan.

"Ahh......h

At the beginning, he did have a prejudice against Melly, a "mud leg", but in the process of chatting, that prejudice slowly disappeared. Although Claire's usual behavior has affected him, Melly's performance does make Reagan feel no disgust, after all, who hates a well-behaved and cute little girl.

Melly pouted and said, "Before, Melly said that she was going to apply for a maid, but my brother said that I was too young to be a maid." Since Grandpa Butler is in charge of recruiting maids, then do you think Melly can become a maid in the Viscount's Mansion? ”

Reagan touched his white beard and thought about it, anyway, just a word can make this little girl happy, why not.

So he said, "Of course, I think you will become an excellent maid when you grow up in the future." ”

"Yay!" Melly jumped up for joy.

Reagan couldn't help but smile as he watched from the sidelines, and this kid didn't seem to be so annoying.

"No, give you a piece of candy!" Melly excitedly took out a skittle candy from her arms and stuffed it into Reagan's hand, her face was a little reluctant, "This was originally taken back by Melly to her mother yesterday, but her mother said she didn't like it and let Melly eat it herself." ”

"Then why did you give it to me?" Reagan looked at the Skittles in his hand and was stunned.

"I originally wanted to eat it, but after thinking about it, Yuna probably hadn't tasted it, so I wanted to bring it to her to taste, but Melly couldn't get in, and Yuna couldn't get out. Just now, the housekeeper's grandfather said that I can become a maid, so Melly will reward you with this candy! ”

"Reward?" Reagan repeated, he hadn't heard those two words spoken to him in a long time.

"That's right, every time I'm very well-behaved, my mother will buy brown sugar for Melly as a reward, and now Melly is also a person with sugar, so I'll reward you with the housekeeper grandpa."

Looking at such an innocent little girl, Reagan's hand holding the Skittles couldn't help but clench, and a smile appeared on his face again.

Melly looked up at the sky, the sun hadn't come out yet, but it was already dark, and then patted her dirty clothes.

"What are you going to do?" Reagan asked.

"Melly is going back." Melly replied, arranging her clothes.

"Aren't you waiting?" Reagan was inexplicably anxious.

Melly glanced up at Reagan suspiciously, as if she were looking at a fool.

"Didn't you say that how long Melly waits here, Yuna won't come out to play with Melly? The candy is all for you, and Melly naturally wants to go back, otherwise my mother won't find me and poke me in the head again. ”

"This ......"

After Melly finished tidying up her clothes, she turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Reagan suddenly reached out and called out to Melly.

"Huh?" Melly looked back confusedly, "All I have is that candy." ”

"No, that...... Do you want to go in? Reagan pointed to the inside of the Viscount's Palace.

Melly's eyes were shining at the moment, "Can I go in?!" ”

"Well, even if it'...... Come and experience being a maid in advance. ”

"Little maid!"

"You can say the same, but it's not paid, but you can provide three meals."

"Yay! Thank you Grandpa Housekeeper! ”

"My name is Reagan......"

"Thank you, Grandpa Reagan!"

Reagan straightened his face again, as if facing those maids, and took the lead in the Viscount's Palace, "Don't be stunned, come in." ”

"yes yes!" Melly followed behind, waving her hands excitedly.

And Reagan, who was walking in front, showed a happy smile from an angle that Merry couldn't see, if he had a granddaughter, it would probably be so big.
