Chapter 286 She is Sure of Winning [2K7]

Watanabe house, in the living room.

“What do you think they will talk about?”

Sitting on the gray wool carpet, Hamabe Ryoko pursed her lips and lay down on the coffee table.

She laid the wool blanket yesterday.

The reason is because Watanabe Akiie likes it.

When she was in Okinawa, she noticed that her aunt, who was used to practicing yoga, preferred to sit on the floor rather than sit on the soft sofa.

For this reason, the living room and floor-to-ceiling windows there are covered with fine velvet carpets.

“We talked about life, ideals, the future, and other random things.”

Watanabe Yu, who was sitting on the sofa, picked up the TV remote control and changed the channel.

On such a leisurely holiday, he would rather watch other programs to pass the time than listen to the sleepy noon news.

For example, classic documentaries or movies.

“Bad guy, I’m talking to you seriously!”

Ryoko Hamabe turned her head and patted someone’s thigh unhappily, and her heroic eyes also showed a bit more charm.

At the beginning, You gave her the impression of being reliable. Although he liked to make jokes and was sometimes not very romantic, overall, he was indeed a very mature and stable person.

But as they spent more and more time together, she got to know him more and more comprehensively, and she discovered what was different about him.

For example, when they are alone, his maturity and stability will fade away, and be replaced by childishness.

Of course, she doesn’t hate it.

Rather than a reliable husband who always has a stern face, she prefers a husband who can joke with her in private and is reliable when necessary.

“Hey, it hurts!”

Watanabe Yuu pretended to grin.

“I didn’t try hard at all.”

Hamabe Ryoko gave him a coquettish look.

But next second.

She still raised her bare hand and gently rubbed the place she had just patted.

“Okay, I was just kidding.” Watanabe Yu grabbed her wrist, “But, I was serious about what I said.”

“…?”

Hearing this, Hamabe Ryoko tilted her head in confusion.

What does ‘I mean that?’ mean?

So, such an obviously joking statement as “talking about life and ideals” is really true, right!?
“Because that’s my mom’s personality. When we’re alone together like this, she always talks about life, ideals, and the future. In her words, such conversations can quickly bring people closer together.”

At this point, Watanabe Yu couldn’t help but chuckle.

“in addition.”

Then he coughed lightly and changed the subject.

“in addition?”

Hamabe Ryoko met his gaze.

“You’re getting cuter and cuter!”

Watanabe Yu released his hand that was holding her wrist and instead gently lifted her pretty face.

Maybe it’s because of the filter, or maybe it’s because of something else.

The more he got along with Ryoko, the more he could feel how cute this girl was.

When the outer shell that keeps people at a distance falls off, what remains inside is straightforwardness, kindness, liveliness and cheerfulness.

“…Humph, it’s no use trying to please me!”

Hearing this, Hamabe Ryoko’s pretty face turned red. After humming twice, she squeezed out this harmless answer.

“I’m telling the truth.” Watanabe Yuu withdrew his hand, “Then, they might talk about something else.”

He did notice it.

A certain girl’s small earlobe was also stained with a layer of cherry pink.

However, out of responsibility for his own “safety”, he did not intend to point this out.

“for example?”

Hamabe Ryoko turned her head away and hid her red cheeks with her short hair.

Obviously, they have even done things further, but she is just so disappointing that as long as he simply praises himself or occasionally says a straight shot, she will blush and her heart will beat faster.

Just like the heroine in the love comic she had read a long time ago, the kettle boiled immediately after being touched on the head by the hero.

“For example, more details on future plans.” Watanabe Yuu considered his words, “including but not limited to the subsequent development of Yuuna Company, Ayana’s attitude towards the Amamiya family, etc….

“Here I would like to emphasize ‘Ayana’s attitude towards the Amamiya family’.

“As is my mother’s habit, she will definitely ask Ayana how far she intends to go, that is, how far she intends to go in her ‘revenge’.

“Then my mother will formulate the next strategy based on this answer.

“Don’t be fooled by her usual appearance of being a good lady. When I was in primary school, my teacher treated me differently and didn’t let me eat lunch. I felt very wronged, so when I got home, I cried and told my mother about it.

“And guess what?

“She took me by the hand and went to the teacher to explain the matter clearly.

“The school apologized and the teacher was punished.

“Since then, the teacher who was particularly fierce and had a bad reputation in the grade suddenly stopped doing anything.

“After half a year, she was fired.

“In short, she probably really didn’t expect that my mother, who seemed gentle and kind at the parents’ meeting, would confront her head-on because of me.

“Sorry, I went a little too far.” “Anyway, what I mean is that my mother is a very protective person.”

Speaking of this, Watanabe Yuu felt inexplicably emotional.

For the vast majority of children, when they feel wronged, their parents’ attitude is their confidence.

The tougher the attitude parents show on this issue, the more confident they will be.

Correspondingly, they will have more courage to say no when faced with bad things in the future.

“…That’s great.”

Hamabe Ryoko was silent for a moment, then said this with a smile.

But anyone could hear the envy in her words.

“Shouldn’t you say you’re really happy at a time like this? She’s your mother too, isn’t she?”

Watanabe Yu gently held Ryoko’s hand.

He knew that in her past life, she had been alienated and bullied by those people.

Before her family misfortune happened, her happy family and harmonious parents gave her confidence, and she dared to say no to injustice and grievances. But with the misfortune in her family, she and her grandmother began to depend on each other, and many things changed.

“……Um.”

Feeling the warmth coming from her palm, Hamabe Ryoko pursed her red lips and nodded gently.

Yeah, Yuu is right.

Now, her aunt is also her mother.

But before she can truly call out the word “Mom”, she will have to wait a little longer. Only after a certain decisive ceremony in her life can she truly and legitimately call out the word “Mom”.

“Then let’s get back to the point.”

Watanabe Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at the picture playing on the TV screen.

As luck would have it, the channel he randomly switched to was currently playing “Summer Trails”.

The plot just progressed to that critical node.
——When the heroine and the hero walked home hand in hand.

“After chatting about all this, they might go shopping or something, and then…”

Watanabe Yu deliberately kept the story in suspense.

“Then?”

Hamabe Ryoko gently moved the hand he was holding.

“She’ll buy clothes for Ayana and for you, but as for me… I’m afraid it’ll be tough.”

Watanabe smiled and shook his head.

He knows my mother too well.

After having a daughter, the son was picked up.

However, he didn’t have any objection. He wished his mother would be nicer to Ayana and Ryoko because they had such a hard life.

“Auntie won’t do that.”

Hamabe Ryoko leaned back slightly and leaned on the sofa.

then.

She raised her head, met Watanabe Yu’s gaze, and said this very seriously.

“She’ll definitely keep things fair.”

She has this confidence.

Besides, even if her aunt was really as Yu said, Ayana would not just sit there and watch.

Even though Ayana always teases herself by calling herself a husband’s slave, in fact, this hypocritical saint lady is the same.

In their hearts, he is always put first.

“Then make a bet.”

Seeing that Ryoko was no longer sad, Watanabe Yuya breathed a sigh of relief and continued with the conversation.

“Okay, what’s the bet?”

Hamabe Ryoko raised her eyebrows in interest.

She didn’t think she would lose.

She believed in her aunt, and she believed in Ayana even more.

“Well, how about next Saturday’s free time? The winner can use the other’s free time as he pleases. What do you think?”

Watanabe Yu thought about it and gave an answer.

He felt this was something more meaningful.

If he won, he planned to take Ryoko to the port area to see the seagulls.

Of course, if he lost, he would have to listen to Ryoko, the winner.

“can.”

Hamabe Ryoko nodded happily.

Come to think of it, she hadn’t been out on a date with You in a while.

“Then we’ll see.”

“Hmm~”

Hamabe Ryoko winked playfully.

She still said the same thing.

She will definitely not lose in this matter!

Do you understand what it means to be sure of victory?
