Chapter 1885: I"m not your stepfather
When Haru arrived with a lot of ingredients and some snacks, he sat down on the sofa and fixed the misunderstanding that happened between Nagisa and Mimori. "I"m not your stepfather. I"m just your mother"s a.s.sistant."
"See? He"s just my a.s.sistant!" Mimori also quickly said that even though she was often tempted to push him directly to bed, she knew that there was no way for her to say that in front of her daughter. She was also glad that he came and fixed the misunderstanding calmly. After all, before he came, everything was in a riot, and she also wasn"t sure how to describe her relationship with him since their relationship was pretty much complex.
"I see..." Nagisa sighed in relief, and somehow the flame that had just burned out became ablaze once again.
"Can I call you, Nagisa?" Haru asked.
"Y - Yes!" Nagisa nodded with a blush.
"......" Mimori squinted her eyes toward Haru at that moment.
"You can call me, Haru too, if you want," Haru said, ignoring Mimori"s gaze.
"The - Then, I"ll call you Haru!" Nagisa was very happy and said, "Right, you two haven"t eaten yet, right? I"ll prepare you two a lunch before the check-up." She then quickly ran toward the kitchen, trying to calm herself, after all, somehow she was nervous, and her heart had always been beating very fast when she was so close to him, but strangely enough, even though she was nervous and her heart raced very fast, she felt very comfortable beside him.
However, when Nagisa left, Mimori quickly grabbed Haru"s shirt and asked, "Haru, what are you planning to do?!"
"What do you mean?" Haru was speechless.
Looking at his expression, Mimori asked, "You... I"m asking you, why you seduce my daughter?!"
"I didn"t even seduce your daughter!" Haru was lost for words. He didn"t even do anything, and when he had seduced Nagisa?
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d, are you telling me that my daughter isn"t cute?!" Mimori became furious.
"........" Haru only realized how unreasonable a woman was. He then shook his head and said, "No, your daughter is very cute."
"Huh, then are you ---" Before Mimori finished her words, Haru cut her words and said, "But you"re cute too, Mimori."
"Wh--?!" Mimori"s face was blushing at that moment.
"Mom, can you come here for a bit?" Nagisa"s voice suddenly sounded from the kitchen.
Haru and Mimori looked at each other for a while before Mimori patted and tidied up the collar that she had grabbed before. "Well, let"s talk about this matter later."
"Oh." Haru nodded and didn"t think too much, but he wondered whether he was wrong to think that he wanted both mother and daughter together?
---
Mimori didn"t know what Haru was thinking and walked toward Nagisa curiously, asking, "What"s wrong, Nagisa?"
"Um, mom, is Haru really your a.s.sistant?" Nagisa asked curiously.
"Of course!" Mimori quickly nodded.
"Um, how old is he?" Nagisa asked.
"He"s 16. He"s a genius," Mimori said without hesitation.
"That"s amazing!" Nagisa was surprised and couldn"t help but compare Haru with her older brother, which somehow made her sigh. However, there was one more question that she needed to ask. With a blushing face, she asked her mother shyly, "Um, mom, is he still single?"
"............." Mimori.
"Mom?" Nagisa asked again.
Mimori took a deep breath and nodded. "Yes, he"s single, but you should try to get someone else. He"s a very bad guy." Before, she might have been alright to let her daughter date Haru, but now, somehow, she felt conflicted.
"Oh? Bad boy? Really?" Nagisa asked curiously.
"Yes, he"s a very bad boy," Mimori said with a serious expression.
"Well, alright..." Nagisa nodded and didn"t say much before she continued to cook.
Mimori looked at Nagisa for a bit and said, "Well, don"t get too close with him, alright?"
"I know, I know, you don"t need to worry, mom," Nagisa said in a hurry and didn"t seem to want to hear her mother"s words again.
Mimori looked at Nagisa for a bit before she walked back to Haru.
"Having fun talking about me?" Haru asked speechlessly at Mimori, who was talking bad about him.
Mimori snorted and said, "If you can date my daughter alone and vow not to touch her until you have gotten married, then I might agree to let you date her, but can you?"
"......." Haru.
"See?" Mimori said with a smile.
Haru looked at Mimori for a moment, then moved closer right beside her.
"Wh - What?" Mimori put on a defensive posture, trying to protect herself if this guy dared to do something.
"I don"t want your daughter, but I want you, Mimori," Haru said in a husky voice.
"........." Mimori might not have realized it, but her face was burning red at that moment. "Y - You!"
Haru only smiled and thought that Mimori was very cute.
"Lunch is ready! Let"s eat everyone!"
Hearing Nagisa"s voice, Mimori quickly calmed down and wondered whether it was the right decision to keep Haru here since she had a feeling that in the future, she might be...
---
Haru and Mimori ate the lunch that was cooked by Nagisa.
Nagisa didn"t eat since she would do a check-up later. She looked at Haru with a smile and asked, "Haru, how is it?"
"It tastes good." Haru praised without hesitation and said, "Anyone who will marry you will be happy, Nagisa."
"Re - Really?" Nagisa asked in a blush.
"Really." Haru nodded and said, "I a.s.sure you."
"Hehehe...." Nagisa smiled happily, but her mother was unhappy.
Mimori quickly wrapped her arm around Haru"s shoulder, pulling him closer, and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I was just talking to your daughter. You don"t need to get jealous, alright?" Haru said in a low voice.
"What did you two talk about?" Nagisa looked at Haru and Mimori with doubt.
"Nothing, your food is great, right, Haru?" Mimori quickly said.
"Yes." Haru nodded.
"Anyway, hurry up and eat so we can start the check-up later," Mimori said.
"Huh? Haru is going to join the check-up?" Nagisa was dumbfounded, but then her face turned red shy.
"No, I"ll only manage the data in another room. As for the check-up, of course, it"ll be done by your mother," Haru said.
"I see..." Nagisa sighed in relief when she heard it, forgetting the fact that Haru might be able to see the data of her weight, height, and three sizes.
Mimori nodded and somehow felt quite comfortable by Haru"s act since she didn"t need to lie or anything to her daughter. "Alright, I have eaten lunch. Let"s go, Nagisa. Let"s do your check-up quickly."
"Oh." Nagisa nodded and followed her mother. "What about Haru?"
"Haru, come with me later after you have eaten," Mimori said.
"Ok," Haru said while eating Nagisa"s food. Even though the taste was quite good, there was still some distance to the ones that he usually ate, but it was cooked by a cute girl, so it naturally tasted better, right?
When Mimori and Nagisa walked away, Nagisa couldn"t help but look at her mother again and ask, "Mom, he isn"t my stepfather, right?" After all, she could tell that her mother was trying to put the distance between her and Haru.
".........." Mimori wasn"t sure what to say for a moment.
