Chapter 293 - NEW FACES (1/2)

When the group alighted the vehicle, Sayaka was still walking in the air because her daughter had looked at her. Like really looked at her and seen her…

Sure, they had faced each other when they met, but she had felt like Akira preferred her father a thousand times more. As a mother, she felt defeated and held a small grudge towards her husband. ​ ​

Now, she held his arm tightly, trying to suppress her emotions.

Akira did not know the reason for her mother's excited face. Her attention was on the large mansion before them.

Her face did not change, but she was gobsmacked. Who would have such a ridiculous mansion and call it a house? In simple terms, it was the kind of building that only unrealistically rich people in anime had.

On the side, Hanae snickered in her heart as she looked at the surprised Akira. It was clear that the girl could not remain aloof anymore.

”Akira, welcome home!” Daiki smiled kindly.

Sayaka felt like her husband was currying favour and trying to get ahead of her in earning their daughter's love.

Already, he communicated on the phone with her more. While she… She had probably been blocked after the day she had called Akira over twenty times…

”Akira, let me help you with your suitcase.” She offered immediately.

Akira would have coldly said 'no' to another person, but she suppressed the urge.

”It's alright. It's not heavy.” She responded.

She did not want anyone to touch her luggage. She had not carried a lot of things, but apart from a few clothes, she had a few precious items inside. She could not feel at ease if the bad was in someone's hands.

Sayaka was a bit disappointed, but she felt their relationship was progressing. At least, her daughter had spoken a few more words.

”Auntie, uncle, let's go in,” Hanae spoke up while suppressing her annoyance.

She could see that the couple was set on spoiling Akira even though she was cold to them. It made her feel like life was unfair. She had been currying favour with them for years, but it seemed like it did not matter anymore.

”Yes, yes. Akira must be tired.”

Sayaka realised that they had been standing outside the house for a while. It was already midday, so Akira had to be tired from travelling.

Hanae gritted her teeth, but she had to keep smiling.
