章 596: I'm not an aunt, I'm still young

The festival continued.

Despite having eaten a full lunch, and a delicious one at that, the smells of food wafting in the air were tempting enough that Isabelle could feel her stomach grumble.

She wouldn't give in to temptation and overeat, but it was still tempting.

But her attention was focused on her surroundings instead.

All around them were people enjoying the festival. Many had dressed in colorful, festive costumes and masks, in keeping with the festival theme, and the masks on the faces of the children in particular were so adorable she wanted to coo at them and pinch their cheeks!

She had not had children, yet! She had no niece or nephew, yet! She hadn't been a mother, and she had not yet had the privilege of being an aunt!

She was!

Young!
