Chapter 491 - WELCOME HOME (2/2)

Kaito smiled and pulled her into his arms in a tight hug. He gestured outside as they reached the bottom of the hill. He had already ordered for two guards to be stationed at the entrance of the gate. He was not sure about having guards in the long run, but they were necessary for the moment.

”This is the only entrance into the property. I had the fence rebuilt by the Furukawa family. They have great perimeter security products. Of course, I also used Shun to get them to install some military-grade sensors and barriers. The Furukawa family has taken up a few military contracts in the past, so they have some good stuff.” Kaito said.

”I can't see the house.” Akira peered through the window as the vehicles went through the gate, but all she could see were trees.

”Of course, you can't see it from here.” Kaito flicked her head. ”We are at the bottom of the hill. If someone wants to come to bother us, they will have to take up a significant climb. The hill is surrounded by a small but old forest. It does not have a lot of wild animals. Just a few small creatures.”

”There is also a small lake somewhere, but it is probably going to be frozen for the next couple of months.” Kaito continued selling the property to Akira with enthusiasm.

”You must really like this place.” Akira smiled at Kaito knowingly.

Kaito laughed. ”I did not care for it at first. I visited the place once, and it seemed a little old and worn out. I thought we would keep living in the apartment, but alas! There was a big surprise waiting for me when I returned.”

”When I found out about Little Precious, I thought about what kind of childhood I would like her to have. A small part of me considered going back to Tokyo. But I do not want to go back to everything that made me the old Kaito.” The words had a wistful edge.

Akira knew what he meant. He did not want Little Precious to be connected to his old lifestyle. She understood what he meant because she also wanted to be a better person for their baby girl. But…

”I like the old Kaito.” She said with a bright smile and clear eyes.

The appearance touched Kaito because it ċȧrėssed the softest part of his heart. He knew that she meant what she said, and it was like honey being poured into his heart. He leaned forward and kissed her lips softly.

”You do not want to know or like the old Kaito.” He said after a moment.

”I can like who I want,” Akira said stubbornly.

She knew the things that Kaito was talking about. It was inevitable that she came in contact with his information while she was looking for him. However, even though he was not a good person, everything that happened made him the Kaito she loved.

Kaito did not argue with her because the vehicle stopped. The two doors to their vehicle were opened by the subordinates, but Kaito rushed out to help Akira out of her seat. The vehicles were safe, but the increased height was a little precarious for a short pregnant lady.

”Welcome home.” Kaito gestured at the house.

”Your parents must have been very forward-thinking. This place is beautiful.” Akira said as she looked away from the house and admired the way it was nested in the centre of the hill.

”All the credit does not go to them. I made some major modifications in the last week.” Kaito said with pride.

”Oh, why did I not see you carrying building materials?” Akira asked mischievously.

”I am a delegator. All you should know is that this home is my genius brainchild.” Kaito insisted.

”If you say so…” Akira said with a mischievous smile as they walked into the house.

Even though Kaito had made the orders for the changes and had monitored the work, it was the first time he was seeing the home in person. It looked fresh and new in comparison to the original drab house.

He could already see his future with Akira and Little Precious. Somehow, he was anticipating the beauty of ordinary life with an adorable wife and an undoubtedly cute daughter.

”Welcome home.” A low and cool voice spoke up as soon as they entered the house.

Kaito stepped forward and shielded Akira behind him with a fierce look in his eyes.
