Small bit of pain? He doesn't want her to be in pain at all. Haruka frowned, and he looked at the cheerful girl in his arms. Why do they have to go through this? Why can't he just be happy with her? He really ought to take her away. "Wife," Haruka mumbled in his arms. "Do you like this dress? I'll make sure you keep it."
Lila laughed, "I'll keep it if you like it, Haruka."
"It's easy to take off," Haruka said as he ran his hands through her back.
"Uh, don't do anything. I still have to go back on stage."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
"Can't I get a feel, wife? I can't have you at night anymore."
"Right, you have your mistress at night."
"Mistress? I don't have one."
"Then, your other wife? Maybe I'm the mistress."
Haruka sighed and continued to place kisses on her cheek. "Wife, wife…."
"Okay silly, I understand. I'm still your wife," Lila looked him up and down. "But understand my unease hubby. I trust you, and unlike before, I know you've changed. You'd give up everything for me. However, I don't trust that woman," Lila sighed. "She's very cunning, you can't tell, but she's a white lotus... "
Haruka, however, wasn't paying attention to that. He kept staring at her, why is she so beautiful today? Maybe there is something wrong with him. "Ah, are you even listening?"
"I am," Haruka nodded. "Forget her, what song will you sing in the selection round?"
"Hmmm," Lila trailed off. "I thought I'd just sing start of a dream.."
"Yeah, I guess that's fine for now."
Lila peered over at him, "Not jealous anymore? Don't brood later, either…"
"I won't, no matter what song you sing now I'll be okay with it."
"Thank you, Haruka. I love you!"
After hugging her for a few minutes, Lila returned to the stage. 'I love you, huh?' Lately, whenever he is with Lila, he gets the feeling that something has changed between them. He doesn't think about having sex constantly anymore. Just holding her in his arms is enough for him — just these small moments with her...
…
Haruka returned to the judging panel, but his gaze didn't leave his wife. Ever since she accepted him, Haruka has felt that everything has been one huge dream. Even now, he doesn't understand why this girl chose him despite everything he's done. Lila, she - is it because she doesn't remember the things back when she was fifteen? If she remembers it all, would she hate him? The current Lila won't be so forgiving. Look at what happened with her relationship with Austin Kiryu; it became strained because he cheated on her.
If she truly remembers, would she abandon him?
…..
Haruka knew he couldn't go over, so all he could do was wait till Lila had finished speaking. The entire time though, he felt restless, Lila she — rushed over so quickly when she heard Austin Kiryu was here.
She cheerfully made her way over, "Haruka? You waited for me!!"
"Yeah, Mei said she would go back with friends."
Lila looked him up and down and beamed happily. "So, we can take a stroll in the park?"
"Sure, whatever you want."
"I'm happy."
Haruka brushed his fingers across the girl's bottom lip, and Lila paused. "Um, should we go somewhere else first? I think you're pent up."
Haruka smiled, "No, it's fine. I harassed you earlier."
"Are you fine because you have a mistress now? You don't need to jump on me twenty-four seven."
"Wife…"
Lila chuckled, "I'm joking; let's get going."
The two of them left the building and walked in silence for a while. Other couples and people were walking past wearing winter gear. His gaze fell on Lila's clothes and frowned, "Aren't you cold?" Lila still wore the dress from the show and only a light cardigan on top/
Lila nodded, "Ah-huh, but you see this is part of my plan so you could give me your jacket."
"Did it not occur to you that would mean I'd freeze too?"
"Wahh!"
Well, forget it. Haruka removed his jacket and wrapped it around Lila. "All for my wife."
Her gaze softened, "It's warm... " Lila trailed off, "Say Haruka. After the competition ends, were going abroad together, right? Over there, what do you plan to do?"
"I was thinking of expanding the music scene. If you're with me, well," Haruka scratched his hair with his right hand. "I'd like to continue as we have been with the manager thing."
Lila smiled, "You don't want to sing with me?"
"Lila.."
"Devil is doing very well now with you in the band, and I thought that maybe we could continue.."
"As DEVIL?"
"You don't like the others?"
Haruka thought back to his conversation with Ryunosuke and sighed. "It's not that I dislike them, but if they came with us...I wouldn't be able to hog you for myself."
"Silly, you don't have to do that. I'll monopolize you, anyway."
Seeing how sure she was of that, Haruka could only stare at her with wide eyes. Why does this girl render him speechless? Then again, it seems like when it comes to things regarding her; he always ends up this way. "Wife, let me stay with you tonight. I need to show you I love you."
Lila laughed, "Okay, do that. But," she leaned forward and brushed her lips against his, "The one who will show you these things is me."
___
Meanwhile, a certain long-haired girl was frantically using a book to cover her hair to shield her from the rain.
Why did it rain out of nowhere? This sucks. It doesn't help that it's late now, there is no chance for her getting a ride. Kotori spotted a nearby convenience store and quickly made her way over. She was already drenched all over, but she didn't want to catch a cold. Maybe she can buy an umbrella and towel. Hearing somebody sneeze beside her. Kotori quickly took out her handkerchief, "It's a bit wet, but if you'd like…"
"Huh, your Ayase Kotori?"
At that comment, Kotori turned to see who she gave her handkerchief too. Silver hair and silver eyes. "Austin-san.." Kotori trailed off, "Were you watching?"
Kiryu smiled, "Yeah. I had some time, so I figured I'd come see Lila for a bit. I wanted to cheer her up."
"About the rumors?"
"Well, it's obviously fake... But, even then, she's probably beating herself up about it."
This person cares a lot about Lila-chan, doesn't he? The two of them were dating for barely a year, but they were childhood friends. He must have loved her for a very long time.
"I overheard them talk, things still seem to be okay," Kotori recalled how happy Lila-chan was when Haruka kissed her.
Kiryu smiled, "Yeah, she seemed chirper when I saw her."
So that's where Lila-chan went after the program was over.
"Can I ask something? You, even though it's fake. Why won't you take advantage of the situation?"
At that comment, Kiryu looked at her with wide eyes, "I'm surprised you'd say something like that."
Kotori's cheeks reddened, embarrassed, "Uh, I don't mean it that way." That sounded way too cunning of her. "I mean, Lila-chan cares a lot about you still, so I thought you'd…"
"Yeah, I know, but those remaining feelings will eventually disappear. Whatever love Lila has for me, she will realize it isn't that kind of love anymore. When she finally understands, I'll let her go for real."
"Is that okay with you?" Kotori looked at his expression. He seemed very sad. "It isn't, so why?"
"Because since childhood, all I've ever wanted for her is to be happy. I've always loved her, yes, but I never thought of pursuing a relationship with her."
"That's…"
"If I wanted to be in a relationship with Lila, I could have done so a long time ago. But, I feigned ignorance of her feelings and pushed her away for so long."
"..."
Kotori didn't know what to say; this was a first for her. Dealing with this type of situation. "Where is your house?" Kiryu suddenly asked.
"My house?" she repeated, half in a daze.
"Yeah, I think we should go to your place."
Wait, wait what?!!! What is he suggesting?
Kiryu must have seen her panicked face since he suddenly said, "Uh, that's not what I meant. I just wondered which place is closer to change from our wet clothes."
"I live in the Orchard district."
"Ah," Kiryu nodded. "Quite far, then let's go to mine. We have to run, but do you mind?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
