The three Kamiyama men sigh together while the fourth one giggles when they see the redhead waving his arm in front of the house. Rie steps out of the car, excited to see her long-time friend. "Ren, you coward! Why didn"t you visit me once in prison? Do you know that you missed an opportunity to see me in prison clothes?
Kiyohira and Yuta sigh. What"s exciting about wearing a prison uniform? Is it something that she should be showing off?
"Rie Chan, I wanted to come but…" Ren glances at Kiyohira. "That man prohibited me from visiting you."
Rie narrows her eyes on Kiyohira. "Why?"
"I am your husband. He was your first love." Kiyohira mutters, "Which husband lets his wife see her first love?"
"He"s still not over it?" Rie clicks her tongue. "There"s no cure for jealousy."
"You should divorce him and be with me, Rie Chan." Ren takes her hands. "I still think that you married the wrong guy."
"Ais.h.!.+" Rie slaps his hand. "Find a wife already. Why are you still single? If you have a daughter, I will give you one of my sons."
"Did she just…" Yuta gapes at her mother"s back. "Father, how could she decide this without asking us?"
"Don"t worry. Ren is likely to never get married," Kiyohira tells him while getting out of the car with Little Sho in his arms. "I don"t think that he ever kissed a real woman."
"That"s not true," Rie and Ren utter together. Kiyohira and Yuta look at them suspiciously. Takes.h.i.+ shakes his head. It"s starting again.
"I have kissed him once," Rie tells her husband. "It was before we got married though."
"Yeah, Rie Chan did it to me once." Ren touches his lips. "Rie Chan, should we try again? Both of us have matured now. Maybe our feelings have changed over the years."
"You!" Kiyohira yells at Ren. "Get out of here. You can"t show your face here again."
Yuta kicks Ren"s leg. "Why are you trying to steal someone else"s woman?"
"Both of you," Rie pulls Yuta"s arm. "Calm down. n.o.body is going to steal me away."
"I don"t like you." Kiyohira stands in front of his wife and first son. "I told you to find a real woman for yourself."
"I don"t need anyone." Ren folds his arms. Then, he notices the baby boy who is watching him with big round eyes. The boy looks like a small copy of Kiyohira with a shadow of Rie in his face. "Where did this come from?"
"Meet our second son, Kamiyama Sho." Rie introduces her second son with a grin.
"You went to prison alone and you came out with…" Ren exhales. He leans closer to Little Sho who blinks his eyes at him. Then, the boy raises his arms and grabs Ren"s red hair.
"Ow!" Ren hollers in pain when Little Sho pulls his hair. "Rie Chan, help me! My hair… Rie Chan, it hurts. Help!"
Yuta nods at his brother with approval. His little brother is doing well.
"Little Sho, let his hair go." Rie grabs the baby"s hands and frees Ren"s hair. Ren steps away and looks at Little Sho with tearful eyes. Some red strands are still in Little Sho"s fists. He wiggles his arms toward Ren, gesturing him to come closer while squealing with happiness.
"He"s happy after pulling my hair." Ren takes another step backwards. "Rie Chan, why does he hate me?"
"He doesn"t hate you, Ren." Rie laughs. "He likes you a lot."
"Why is he hurting me if he likes me?" Ren is too scared to come close to Little Sho who is looking at him with s.h.i.+ny eyes. "I am not a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t. I won"t come close to you."
This is good. Kiyohira looks at Little Sho proudly. His second son will take care of this red-head.
Little Sho smiles at Ren and waves his arms, wanting him to come closer. Ren shakes his head. "No, I am not coming. Don"t look at me like that. I don"t like anyone who pulls my hair. That"s my limit."
"Why do I feel bad for him?" Takes.h.i.+ sighs. He goes toward Kiyohira and takes Little Sho in his arms. So light. "Should I turn my hair red for you, Little Sho?"
The baby coos at him as if he"s telling him to do it.
"Fine then." Takes.h.i.+ smiles at Little Sho. "Now, I also want one of these."
Kiyohira chuckles when he hears Takes.h.i.+"s words. "Get one soon then."
"Yeah, I look forward to cousin-sisters." Yuta lets out a low laugh. Since it didn"t work out with Aunt Iori, there must be someone else who can move his uncle"s heart. How does he find that person? Then, there"s this redhead uncle.
But why is he taking care of these single men? He might as well start a match-making company.
He looks at his mother who is smiling at them with happiness in her eyes. His mother will be happier if they are also happy. She clearly cares for both of them.
In his previous life, his mother died when after he turned five. His father also died near her grave. The dates of their deaths were last month. Kawamoto Ren is still alive. Nina is dead. Maddox is dead before his time. Mira"s parents and her grandfather also died before their time. He wonders if some people died because some people are alive in this lifetime. His interference has changed many fates.
Where is she now? It"s been more than a year since she left. He hasn"t found out where Maddox"s daughter is. Will she find that child and kill her to get the consortium? But she"s too small and weak to fight Yuan Bo. There"s no way that Yuan Bo would take her lightly after finding out that she killed Maddox Kang.
Why he is still bothered about her? If he could change his parents" fates, she could also get the consortium. She will stop at nothing to get what she wants.
"How long are we going to stand here?" Rie asks the men. "Let"s go inside."
Yuta smiles. He wishes her luck. He hopes that she gets it. He can"t hate her, but he can"t love her anymore either. His family is more precious to him now.
