Eternal Melody

Chapter 629 I found a purpose

They really went ahead and did it. However, she did feel the odd atmosphere. She never thought they would do it like that. Her lips hurt; there are still traces of blood. Yuhi kissed her so harshly, and she dared to look at the state of her body. It was a good thing Yuhi was sensible to put on her nightgown for her.

Yuhi catches her in his arms. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I'm just slightly tired. "

"I see, then-" Yuhi extended his hand out. "Don't let me go."

"Okay."

Yuhi said this in a normal tone, yet she felt more depth to his words. Perhaps she is overthinking it. She still feels lightheaded due to all the kissing, and he truly meant what he said about filling her up. Aaahhh, Ibuki Sumire, stop with the unusual thoughts.

As she thought, if she is with Yuhi, she couldn't calm her beating heart down. He is only holding her hand, yet she can feel the love he has for her transmitted through the warmth of their hands.

After walking for awhile, Yuhi led her downstairs. There she spotted an annoyed-looking Atsuro alongside Shin, and her gaze brightened once she saw a boy with short brown hair. Her beloved child!

Huan rushed up to her. "Mommy!"

Oh he is so cute! Sumire snuggled her face against the young boys. "Did you gain some weight? Oh my, it makes you cuter."

"I did it for you, mommy!"

'Oh, so cute, but it's hard to focus when somebody harshly glares at me.' Why is Atsuro glaring?

"Even if the walls here are thicker. It's easy to pick up movements if you have an ability." Shin suddenly commented.

Uh, then that means- ahh, how embarrassing. It's no wonder Shin looks flustered, and Atsuro is glaring.

"Huan, you must protect me. Your uncle Atsuro is scaring me."

Huan wrapped his arms around her protectively. "I won't let him get to you, mommy."

Atsuro's eyes twitched, annoyed. "Brat, this is my thanks for saving you?"

"Saving? Did something happen?"

"The other day, when we were going on a walk, some pests showed up."

"It's Atsuro's fault, Sumire. He keeps making enemies recently."

At those words, her gaze darkened. "You told me before it's safer to leave him with you. But if you're doing ridiculous things and not hiding your face, perhaps I should find somebody else?"

"Since your on that topic. I was actually thinking the same, at least until this mess dies down."

"Is it that bad?"

"Considering how they are openly attacking me, then yes. But you don't have to worry about it. I can-"

"No, since they are being so open. Then our side should do the same."

Besides, this reckless attack pattern reminds her of someone all too well. The person directing those attacks on Atsuro is surely the second eldest daughter of the Nagawa family. Mira would plan more wisely, so it's obvious that the daughter is doing this one.

If that is the case, "We should attack in the open too."

Atsuro sighed deeply. "I thought you were too behaved recently. You were just waiting for an excuse to start chaos."

"Isn't it fine? My condition has been good recently."

Other than catching that fever from Sano. Her body has been in a much better state. Otherwise, she wouldn't have even suggested this.

"Yuhi, tell her not to-"

Yuhi, who was silent this entire time, was actually playing with her hair and occasionally kissing it.

What is he doing in front of other people?

"You know, Atsuro, I think you need to stop trying to decide everything for Sumire. Not even I have the right to do that, much or less you who has no relation with her."

Her sweatdropped when she heard Yuhi's harsh and blunt words. Yuhi is telling the truth but does he have to be so straightforward? She saw a dark aura wrap around Atsuro. It felt like there were lightning bolts between the two.

Shin spoke up, breaking the tension as he appeared behind her. "I'll keep her company; she will be fine."

Atsuro seemed reluctant but nodded. "If that's the case, then alright. For now, Sumire, find someone to look after that child. I'll send over his stuff later on."

"Thank you, Shin."

"Your welcome. I heard strange rumors the other day that you're getting along with Yuhi's ex now."

Ah, it's more like after that talk, they exchanged numbers. Yuhi, who was sending Atsuro out, overheard and frowned. Uh oh, maybe she ought to have told him?

Shin didn't wait for a reply and quickly hurried away.

She can definitely see the benefits of this friendship. Indeed no sooner had the two left she received a message; it was a picture of Yuhi from before. How rare! Yuhi, however, snatched her phone and sighed deeply.

"You know why are you getting so happy over this?"

"Ehhh? Why not! It's a picture of you I'll add to my list of treasures. "

"Treasure, huh." Yuhi trails off and suddenly leans forward, wah?!! His lips grazed against hers briefly."You know when the real thing is in front of you, do you need something like this? "

Sumire felt her cheeks redden. "Yuhi, that's unpleasant of you."

After what they did, it is difficult to look him in the eye. It was the first time they had ever done it like that. They have joked around about their desires towards each other many times, but this is the first time they have done it like that. Perhaps she ought to stop fooling around with him so much.

"Hmm?"

Before his lips could meet hers, though, "Mother and mister kwis?"

She almost forgot about Huan. Really whenever she's with Yuhi, she can't seem to calm herself down. But she glanced over at Yuhi, who had bent down to pick Huan up.

"Mister, do you like my mother?"

'Mister' huh? It's not like she expected Huan to call Yuhi his father, but it is a painful reminder that she does not have Yuhi's child. A child with Yuhi, huh? Right now, it is still difficult for her to think of such things. After all, she truly thinks of herself as a bad mother.

It is difficult for her to care for herself, which is why the child remains with Atsuro. Her mental state has gotten better, but it is indeed not wise for her to raise the child by herself.

"Yes, I do a great deal. I love little Huan too. "

He is so sly. It really is bad for her heart if he keeps smiling like that. However, she catches another glimpse of his face; she supposed it isn't too bad if he keeps on doing so.

She has never met someone who has smiled so much; she said that before regarding Mamoru. But if she thinks about it carefully, the description suits Yuhi instead. Back then, she was on the verge of collapse after Ru's death; she was merely wandering. However, after she met him, she finally found a purpose.

No sooner had Ru passed away did she meet him, the one who would have a great impact on her world. Who would have thought that the two of them would end up this way? Back then, she would never have thought that she could remain so close by him like this.
