Chapter 372 - DENYING OUR PAST (1/2)

Hina turned her gaze to Seiji.

Even though they were not together, the previous night had changed things a little. Plus, she could not deny that she liked Seiji from the moment she saw him. Otherwise, she would not have made that suggestion to Akira.  ​​

Seiji felt the sharp eyes on him and felt a bit of cold sweat.

The entire day, he was a little awkward about the things that happened between him and Hina. Truth be told, it was mostly his fault. He could not hold back after the two of them left the party. The occurrence was both great and weird.

When Hina was sweet and endearing as they kissed in the deep night, he felt like a beast taking advantage of someone's daughter. But he could not resist her soft voice, and it made him lose control. It felt like an indulgent and gentle scratching on his heart.

However, he did not forget that she was a tough lady at heart.

And she looked suspicious of him after the random woman called to him nauseatingly. How could he not be a little scared of this wife bequeathed to him by his sister?

”Brother Seiji,” Mio called out again coquettishly after not getting a response for a few moments.

Seiji's face darkened further, and Hina looked at the woman walking towards them while twisting her waist like a snake.

'Peh! What kind of walking style is that? I should recommend a physiotherapist for her.' She thought pettily.

”Why are you standing outside here? Are you here to cause trouble?” Seiji asked coldly.

The question was directed at the crowd, but they was under Mio's control.

”Brother Seiji, this restaurant is too much. I came here to treat my friends and support a local business. Who knew that they would take my kindness for evil? They even chased me away. You have to get justice for me, Brother Seiji!” Mio said while stepping closer.

Seiji frowned. ”You keep calling me Brother Seiji. Do we know each other?”

The entire reception area fell into complete silence.

Then, some people who could not hold back their laughter chuckled and giggled while hiding their mouths behind their hands. As followers of Mio, they should have supported her when Seiji said a mean thing to her.

But no one could deny that it was funny when someone arrogant was put down.

As for Hina, she laughed loudly and patted Seiji's back in encouragement. The little person in her heart put her hands on her waist and laughed gleefully at the arrogant woman trying to take someone she had put her stamp on.

Mio felt so hurt by the response from Seiji that she did not even look at Hina or the disloyal followers.

”Brother Seiji, how could you say such a thing? We have met so many times. I always visited Hanae at your home. We interacted many times. Are you trying to deny our past because of this strange woman?” Mio turned her vicious eyes to Hina.

Hina pointed at her nose in surprise. She was only watching a drama. She did not want to get dragged to the centre stage.

”I did not allow my cousin to call me brother. How can you, as an unrelated person, call me so intimately? Are we so close?” Seiji asked.
