Chapter 340 - PREGNANCY (1/2)

Chiharu felt a little sick at the thought of the past at Sayaka's words. If she knew that Sayaka would bring up grandchildren because she showed up in the morning, she would never have visited until later.

The truth was that she came to the house early so that she could bond with Sayaka a little before Makiko came over and delivered a death blow to Akira.  ​​

She believed that if she could be close to her mother-in-law during a crisis, she could occupy the space vacated by Kaoru and Hanae. And if she could control Sayaka, a perfect future would not be out of her reach.

Additionally, she could cut loose that useless pair of mother and daughter before they dragged her down with them. She could not cope with short-sighted idiots. Already, Willow Mental Wellness had called to inform her about Hanae's real breakdown.

She needed to have a better plan for harnessing the Yamazaki family.

For now, Kazuo could only remain as a simple ȧssistant director at the company, even though his father was the CEO, and his grandfather was the chairman.

In a few years, the chairman position would be open, and Daiki would take the mantle as the patriarch of the Yamazaki clan.

It would not be fair if Kazuo did not become the CEO at that time.

However, as things were at the moment, Kazuo would not receive a promotion any time soon. Daiki was keen on evaluating abilities, and his eldest son was a disappointment.

Chiharu also knew that Daiki would not hesitate to make his brother the president when he became the chairman. The only hope for Kazuo rising higher in the rank without him magically developing real abilities was using Sayaka.

The other obvious solution was having a child and making Kazuo a more mȧturė and reliable candidate for promotions and the CEO position.

Regardless of how much Daiki did things strictly, he would be moved by a grandchild. He would offer his eldest son better opportunities to ensure he raised his child well.

But Chiharu was not sure if she could have a child.

She had put in all the efforts she could since the wedding. She had spared nothing to make her wȯmb respond. However, there was nothing.

Eventually, people would start asking questions like Sayaka. She could not use the excuse that they were newlyweds and wanted to enjoy more time together anymore.

And if she were to say that she did not want children… That was not an option.

Chiharu felt a little sick.

”Are you feeling ok? You look a little pale.” Kazuo noticed his wife was not well.

Chiharu realised that she was behaving a little abnormally for no reason. If she lost control of her emotions, people would discover her unusual behaviour. More questions could expose what must never be exposed.

”No, it's nothing. I guess it's the smell of the fish.” She responded with a stiff smile. ”I'll just go rest for a while in your room.”

Kazuo, like Seiji, had a suite in the Yamazaki mansion, although he was not as welcome. Chiharu had only spent a couple of nights in the mansion and only had a few things in the house. So, technically, it was not their room, but Kazuo's childhood bedroom.

”Alright. I will get you after a while for breakfast.” Kazuo was reassured by her words.
