Chapter 647 - Decision

After minutes of an emotional moment with my parents, the show that we’re watching returned to air. Because of the absurdity of its sound effects and background music, that successfully put us out of that solemn mood.

My dad laughed, my mom laughed and soon enough, I got infected by it. The tears that formed and spilled from our eyes were soon wiped off as we returned our focus back to what was being shown on the TV.

There’s a lot that was still left unsaid and a lot of things that we could talk about. However, with our silent agreement, we dropped all those tonight.

According to them, they’d be here for at most two weeks if no job landed on my old man’s lap within that time.

As for their job, they’re both government officials that are part of law enforcement in the country. They couldn’t tell me clearly or they’re not allowed to.

But they both possessed a front identity that they often used when dealing with people.

My dad is supposed to be an international lawyer mostly dealing with confidential cases. As for what ‘confidential’ entails, he didn’t divulge too much into it. It’s literally the meaning of the word. It’s probably for my protection or knowing it wouldn’t benefit me at all. He’s doing that job apart from what they couldn’t tell me.

Back when they could still stay here without going on a trip for too long, he worked as a defense lawyer.

My mom is supposed to be my old man’s personal bodyguard. However, since they’re a married couple, she could just stick with him all the time and no one would believe that she’s an excellent fighter.

I know… Like I mentioned before, Aunt Akemi was only the leader of the delinquent but my mom was definitely scarier than her. A hidden boss.

However, only a handful of people knew of it…

Personally, I hadn’t witnessed that side of her yet. In my memory, she’s always the lazy-looking gorgeous housewife.

Before they left for the night… they told me to keep that information to myself. If my girls ask me about the nature of their work, I was instructed to only tell them that he’s still a lawyer while my mom is a tag-along who refused to leave his side.

Although that’s probably the true nature of why she’s still always with him, that earned my old man another chilling glare from my mom.

Well, I understood the complications and I didn’t want to worry my girls about it. I could keep it as another secret that was better left unsaid. Besides, I also don’t have any idea what their position in the government really is.

Someone that handles national security? Isn’t that too convenient or rather, far-fetched?

I don’t know. And with their warning, I probably better off not knowing.

They left the house before midnight after talking to Miwa-nee once more and watching Minoru.

They already talked to her earlier and… as expected, Miwa-nee just gave up trying to keep it a secret. In the first place, my mom knows whose child Minoru is.

One of the reasons for their return and stay in the country is that boy… They asked Miwa-nee if they could spend time with him.

Apart from that, they also told Miwa-nee that they could take Minoru with them for a while when the time for her to return to her husband arrived.

During those talks, I was right beside Miwa-nee and… she turned to me to ask for my opinion on whether she should grant what my parents wanted to happen.

In the end, I told my parents to let us think about it for a few days. Although I said ‘us’ I will try my best not to influence Miwa-nee’s decision…

Even if Minoru is ours, Miwa-nee raised him by herself and I hadn’t been acting as his father yet. It’s unfair for her if I did that. Even if it’s considered irresponsible of me, I could only be a support for her this time rather than another decision-maker…

Naturally, my parents wouldn’t force her to make a decision so they immediately agreed when I raised that.

After sending them to the door – like I guessed, they’re going to stay at a hotel rather than get their room back or use an empty room – I checked on Akane first.

The girl asked for a kiss and a hug before urging me to go to Miwa-nee’s side.

Although she didn’t hear anything, she could easily guess that Miwa-nee needed me tonight.

“Thank you, Akane. You can sleep first. I promise you’ll be waking up with me next to you.”

“Don’t be an idiot, husband. Do what you must. I won’t hold it against you if you can’t return. I’m not your only girl. You gave me the highest privilege among everyone by sharing a room with you. It’ll be unfair for everyone if you still keep on going back to me when the other girls need you by their side… Tonight, Miwa-nee needs you. Go to her.”

After scolding me and urging me further to just remain at Miwa-nee’s side, Akane flashed her beautiful smile, reassuring me that she’d be fine and she wouldn’t hold it against me…

I had long expected that she’d eventually reach this line of thought but hearing it from her like this, it still felt like she’s sacrificing more for me. On top of that, stopping her was out of the question. Because if I did, stepping forward from this would be next to impossible. We’d be in a loop if that happened.

Akane placed a finger on my lips, preventing me from opening my mouth. “Don’t you dare, utter an apology. Save it, idiot husband. I don’t want to hear it. Instead of that…”

She then grabbed me by my collar and pulled me up to climb our bed. With her legs wrapping around my waist, Akane placed me on top of her.

“… shower me with your love instead. I will not entertain any apologies or your sullen look. Just do the usual, husband. Show me how much you love me.”

Along with that pronouncement, Akane’s lips overlapped with mine before her arms also wrapped around my back.

Along with her beautiful golden hair shining brightly under the moonlight passing through our window, Akane’s ruby-red eyes completely entranced me.

I understood everything she wanted to relay to me. That’s why I never put up any resistance. Before going back to Miwa-nee’s room, I’ll be pouring my affection for this silly girl.

It will always be like this from now on. When it comes to them sacrificing parts of their privilege, I can only turn a blind eye to it rather than giving an apology that they have to do it. That way… it won’t be too heavy for both of us…

“If that’s what my silly girl wants, I will not hold back…” I returned her kiss with the same intensity. And in less than a minute, I threw down her silk nightwear along with my own shirt. Our naked bodies entangled with each other as the room that was originally slightly cold rose in temperature.

“Akane, will you stay with me until the end?”

“Gladly, Ruki. Nothing can separate me from you.” Akane unhesitatingly answered, her expression filled with her undying affection for me.

With that as our last exchange for the night, our room soon became filled with groans and moans of affection-filled pleasure.
