Aria was in the bathroom for quite some time but managed to calm down, she left the bathroom wanting to go to the lounge but stopped and looked at her siblings together, she shook her head slightly and decided to get fresh air.Outside her mother was on the veranda and it looked like she had been crying, she looked at her daughter and quickly wiped her tears away and put on a smile, Aria went to her mother and asked, "Ma, what"s wrong?"
"It"s nothing really. Why are you outside?"
"I need fresh air, the house has many people in it."
"Mn", Erina nodded slowly, a sigh was heard coming from Aria and she said, "Ma, what you did was wrong."
"What did I do?", she looked at her daughter confused.
Aria looked at her mother and said, "You came between daddy and their mother, if you didn"t they would be happy and you wouldn"t be so miserable."
Erina"s eyes widened then she frowned, "Aria what nonsense are you speaking?"
"I know daddy doesn"t love us because of you."
Yos.h.i.+no came outside and looked at the 2 of them, he overheard what they said, he looked over at Aria with a slight frown, what she said wasn"t false but the person he didn"t like was his wife, he loved his children, all of them, he truly did.
"Aria, why aren"t you inside?"
"I"ll go just now daddy, I just needed fresh air", she looked at him feeling a bit uneasy.
Yos.h.i.+no walked up to her and hugged her with his right arm and kissed her on her head after saying, "I know it"s not easy to suddenly find out that I have children with another woman but please try and get along with them okay? They are going through a tough time now and I want you to help make things a bit easy for them."
He could feel how she was shaking against his body and he felt slightly bad when she was little she was his world but as time pa.s.sed and the other children came along he showed her less affection than before.
Realising this Yos.h.i.+no tried thinking of a way to spend time with all of them. Yos.h.i.+no Jnr came out onto the veranda and saw this, he felt a little awkward and was about to go back in when they noticed him.
"Is something wrong?", asked Yos.h.i.+no snr.
Feeling a bit fl.u.s.tered Yos.h.i.+no answered, "Uh no, I just came to see if Aria is okay."
Aria felt a bit strange, she let go of her father and walked over to Yos.h.i.+no and said while holding his hand, "Mn, I"m fine, let"s go inside."
They went in and on Yos.h.i.+no snr"s face was a smile, Erina sneezed from behind him and this brought his attention to her, he turned and looked at her who was leaning over the railing, he walked up to her and leaned on the railing too.
Erina said, "I don"t want your ex"s children in my house."
Yos.h.i.+no sneered and answered, "You better behave yourself or you will be more miserable than you are now, that"s my house, not yours and you will be their mother till t.i.tania returns, so that means you will be cleaning the house, making breakfast, lunch and dinner for them and was.h.i.+ng their clothes, you will also make sure that they are comfortable at all times and I don"t want you upsetting them just because you don"t like their mother. Remember you and I are married so those kids are practically yours too."
After this conversation, he went back in the house and watched his children introduce themselves, that night Erina and Yos.h.i.+no along with their kids stayed over because Hikari didn"t want his papa to leave.
The next morning around 11 am Jin Ha and Jae Hyun came over, immediately the triplets lost their composure and started balling their eyes out. Yos.h.i.+no was shocked because the triplets were really good at hiding their feelings, he had Hikari in his arms who didn"t really know what was going on.
Jin Ha and Yos.h.i.+no spoke for a while, while Jae Hyun attended to the triplets and put them to sleep during the afternoon. He went to the store and checked if everything was well and instructed them not to take up to much cake orders until Yuki was on her feet again.
He and Jin Ha stayed for the rest of the week and helped the kids settle into Yos.h.i.+no"s house and returned the following week because Jin Ha needed to work and so did Jae Hyun.
---
During the next 2 weeks Yos.h.i.+no spent time with his children and made much progress getting to know the triplets but it was finally time for them to get back to school and Yuki needed to manage the shop again.
The siblings spent time together and Erina was doing a good job at being their mother, for some reason, everything seemed okay and she began to adore Hikari more and more.
