"One time, he came back looking completely distraught, and I was out on duty then. Seeing him like that, I took him to my room in the dorms to calm him down, and when I asked him what I could do for him. He said, "sleep with me." By then he already had Sophia, you know her correct?"Lila nodded.
"I was aware of the other girls too. That"s why I . .was hesitant, yet when I saw him in pain, I let him touch me. The next morning, he seemed to have calmed down. He was surprised to see me next to him, and even if I tried to cover it up, he knew right away what he did despite having only a faint memory of it. Haru asked me if I liked him, and of course, I said yes. But I told him straight," I like you who likes Teras.h.i.+ma Lila." He told me he couldn"t make me his girlfriend, but unlike Sophia, he would treasure me. That made me really happy even though we couldn"t be in a relations.h.i.+p with each other."
So that"s the story, now she understands it. Sophia, Haruka didn"t mean to treat you so coldly or treat you the same as the other girls. It"s because he made the promise to Sakis.h.i.+ta here and because the two were friends before he even started the relations.h.i.+p with you. Finally, all the pieces have come together; she was under the impression that her past was messed up. But after listening to this story, she"s changed her mind.
Ryoko continues, "After those two broke up with each other, Haru broke up with the others also. However, he remained with me right up until I left with on the exchange. Haru was supposed to be my partner for the exchange program; however, he said that he wanted to see you. To make everything right. When I saw the news that you two got together, I was relieved."
"It took us too long. We stalled and circled each other, and honestly, it was because of me. I knew I liked him, but I could not let the people who helped me in his absence in my life down. I couldn"t abandon them easily." That"s right, she couldn"t abandon them, "But eventually I lost control of myself. To be beside Haruka and not tell him my feelings were painful. That"s why despite all odds I said it. I didn"t think he liked me back; it was a major surprise."
"Haru must have been awkward about it."
"Right, he"s hopeless in terms of that stuff. Thank you for telling me about this Sakis.h.i.+tsan. I"m relieved now. Haruka loves me just as I love him. I"m happy. "
Now her thoughts have cleared up on the matter. Her uneasiness has gone down. Haruka really loves her, this ring that"s proof of his love, his affectionate actions, how he calls her name lovingly and now these stories from the time they were apart. She can really feel his love.

Following morning - Park -
Lila decided to keep Haruka company before they came here he was holding onto her so tightly. He must be afraid by all of this. But he still decided to come along. The two of them searched the park and eventually found the kid in question. It was easy to find him. Lila wondered why none of the media had discovered this child before. A child that resembles Haruka.
"Daddy?!!"
"Yeah."
Haruka seemed awkward but walked over and picked the child up. "I"m sorry I"ve left you alone for so long."
…
Star Town - East - J Street
"I"m sorry, it"s not very large," Ryoko seemed embarra.s.sed since she kept shuffling around uncomfortably.
When Haruka suggested that he dropped them back home too, Lila felt the pain in her heart grow worse, but she shook her head. Isn"t she the one who suggested that she came along? Haruka seemed very nervous, that"s why she came too.
"Should I get you a bigger house?"
"Oh no, you don"t have to do that…"
"It"s okay, tell me where you work. I"ll find a better spot."
Lila sighed; she really doesn"t want to be so petty about this. But she can"t help it. Her gaze darted towards the child who kept glancing over at her. It looked like he was deciding whether or not she was an enemy.
"Mommy, Daddy, who is that? Why is she here?"
Now Lila was the one who felt awkward. Why does she look like the third wheel here?
"That"s your daddy"s...wife."
"But you"re my mommy, and she isn"t."
Haruka wore a complicated look on his face. "Listen--"
"Mommy and daddy, I don"t like her. Can she go away?"
At that comment, Lila sighed deeply. This is kind of annoying. "I"ll step out for a bit."
"Lil-"
She gave him a small smile and walked out of the doors. The moment she did, a relieved sigh she had been gelding back pa.s.sed her lips. That situation was very awkward for her.
"Lila?" a voice called out.
Lila glanced over and spotted silver hair. "Kiryu?"
He jogged over, "What are you doing in Sakis.h.i.+ta Ryoko" s---" he glanced over at the window. There Haruka was clearly visible; he was playing with the child. "I see…"
"Yeah."
"If your jealous just tell him."
"I can"t; he looks so happy…" Besides, Lila didn"t want to come across as needy and desperate. She didn"t want to come across as selfish too. There are so many beauties in this world, why would Haruka stick with someone like her who can"t accept his past?
"Finding out that he has a child isn"t easy, I thought you already knew otherwise I wouldn"t have said it."
"No," Lila shook her head. "You don"t have to worry. Haruka probably heard about the child too, but he wasn"t sure since that would mean she was alive. According to the story, he told me, she died. So it"s normal that he didn"t believe it."
"Lila," Kiryu patted her shoulders. He didn"t hug her, which was a bit surprising. "Regarding this matter, if you need to talk to someone. I"ll be here for you."
"Thank you."
…
After she finished helping with the packing in a few rooms. Lila took a quick break and sat down on a somewhat battered-looking couch. Ryoko-san seems to have been living in very harsh conditions. She even has a small child to raise too. It must be difficult. If Haruka knew of their existence earlier, then perhaps he could have helped them sooner.
"Haruka…" When she looked up she spotted Haruka entering the room.
"It"s hubby, why aren"t you calling me that today?"
"Hubby. ." Lila felt very awkward about calling him this now.
"Good girl, here"s your reward," Haruka"s lips are on hers in seconds. The familiar warmth and sensation of his lips made her feel so happy. The entire morning she had been so anxious, she thought he had forgotten her. They"ve hardly said a word to each other after all.
"Nngh," Lila ran her hand through his as Haruka"s lips made its way to her neck. One of his hands were lifting her s.h.i.+rt, one hand on her thighs.
Haruka…
"Wife," Haruka mumbled as he placed marks along her neck. "Wife, my wife, Lila."
The way he repeated it over and over made her think that he knew. He knew about her unease. Is he trying to rea.s.sure her this way? It wouldn"t be surprising for the two of them whose relations.h.i.+p started in such a strange way. Acts of intimacy like this help them become honest. The thoughts and feelings they normally can"t convey, like this they"d find out everything once they explored each other"s bodies.
"Honey...unngh.."
Haruka smiled, "..were in another person home. But your voice is still so loud."
At that comment, Lila froze. Ah, that"s right -- how could they do this here? "Haruka, wait...do you really think we should…"
"Wife, you"re so easy to read. I won"t tell you not to worry, because you"ll only become more uneasy that way. All I can do is show you, my love."
Those words, "They are the ones she told him." Ah, she wants to cry. "Wife, you really do taste good."
She whipped her attention back to the feeling of Haruka entering her, and her fingers ran through his back. No longer teasing her, Haruka was serious even though she was the one who told him not to brush aside important topics for this. Even though she was the one who told him to tell her straight what the problem is. In the end, she"s such a hypocrite. Saying those words but look at her now.
Lila ignored all other sounds; she just focused on Haruka. On her husband and him alone. But maybe she shouldn"t have done that, otherwise, she would have heard the sound of breaking gla.s.s. By the time Lila did look up, she noticed a stunned Sakis.h.i.+ta Ryoko.
"Oh, I"m terribly sorry….."
"No uh.."
"What"s wrong?" Haruka quickly got up and made his way over. He extended his hand out to the girl who had collapsed on the ground.
"Thank you... I"m sorry for interfering."
"It"s okay, what did you need?"
It"s okay?!! Lila looked at Haruka dumbfounded. Is this really the Haruka she knows? Normally he would get all grumpy...
"I was um thinking, is it okay for you to accompany him to school for a while? There"s also a few events...lately my work.."
"Hm, that"s fine."
"Thank you so much…"
Oh… That expression ...no-no, Lila quit getting jealous. But it"s difficult after all watching Haruka"s family time. She wonders if this gentleness is because of the child alone, or has he always treated her this way? Her thoughts broke off when her phone rings.
"h.e.l.lo?"
A chilling voice filled the other end, "How do you like my other surprise?"
Her gaze darkened at the man"s words, and Lila quickly stepped out of the room. Onto the hallway, she raised her voice slightly. "Quit messing around! Isn"t it enough that you traumatized Haruka so many times?"
"Tut, tut," Zane said disapprovingly. "It"s not my fault that he immediately ran out when he saw what condition she was in. If he stayed, he would have known that she was alive. Then again if he stayed, then do you think you two would be together now?"
At that comment, her face color drained, and she felt her body tremble. Zane is correct.
If Haruka didn"t rush of that time and discovered that the girl was alive, he would have stayed with her. He would have found out she was pregnant and taken responsibility. Nothing would have happened between them.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
"So, how does it feel? Haruka knows he has a child now, I"m sure it will be just a matter of time before he leaves you."
"Shut up!"
"You"re free to come to me anytime."
Lila quickly ended the call and sank to the ground. Haruka wouldn"t do that; he wouldn"t leave her.. Haruka loves her so much, he wouldn"t just abandon her because he has a child with another woman. But, she recalled him making housing arrangements earlier. How about if he did that because he planned to stay with them?
Her thoughts broke off when she was encircled into a familiar pair of arms. "Kiryu? Didn"t you go back?"
"I couldn"t leave," he mumbled. Lila immediately understood. This person is also stupid, just like her.
