Having Had My Bride Stolen, I Just Want to Live Peacefully - Chapter 21

“Please excuse my intrusion.”

“Go ahead.”

Nene-chan takes off her loafers at the entrance.

Her thin white legs stretched out from the pleated skirt are visible to the eyes.

Suddenly, Nene-chan stopped moving.

“…Whose high heels are these, brother-in-law?”

“Aah, those belong to my former supervisor. She came to my house yesterday and we were drinking together.”

“Oh, I see.”

I heard a cold voice that I had never heard before.

I don’t think the air conditioner is on, but the temperature in the room seems to have dropped a little.

“She seems to have gotten quite drunk yesterday, and now she’s lying down in the bedroom, so keep it down.”

“In the bedroom…”

“Yeah, I was cooking when she suddenly came. Come to think of it, I left my apron on.”

I remember leaving my apron on for a sudden visitor.

I just fell asleep, so it’s a little wrinkled. I need to wash and iron it later.

“Hmm, did you eat that dish together?”

“Well, yes…”

“I see.”

Nene-chan’s voice is even lower.

“Uhm, there’s still more left over, so shall we eat Nene-chan?”

“Oh, is that all right?”

“Yes, of course. Actually, I made it for Nene-chan.”

“For me?”

The tone of her voice suddenly returns.

It’s morning, so I guess it was just a groggy voice earlier.

“Yes, Nene-chan is my cooking teacher. I want you to judge if I have improved.”

“Then I’ll eat it.”

Besides, I was always the only one eating lunch, and I was a little discouraged because Nene-chan was just looking at it.

The food I eat is different, but it’s better to eat it together.

“”Thank you for the meal.””

Nene-chan carries the pork belly to her small mouth.

I stared anxiously at her.

“It’s soft and delicious. I’ll give you a passing grade.”

Nene-chan draws a flower circle on my palm with her fingers.

However, I feel tickled, but I am honestly happy to be praised for the food.

“Thank you. I will continue to work hard.”

“Hehe.”

When I returned it as seriously as a real student, Nene-chan laughed at me.

“Well, if Nene-chan doesn’t mind, will you continue to eat what I made?”

“Okay.”

Surprisingly, she answers immediately.

If this makes her realize that I can live a healthy life by myself without any problems, mother-in-law won’t have to pack me bento, and maybe Nene-chan won’t need to keep teaching me how to cook either.

Then, I heard the door click open.

Miyoshi-senpai comes out of the bedroom holding her head.

“Ugh, my head hurts. Good morning, Ichinose-kun. I’m sorry, but do you have anything to eat?”

“I have the rest of yesterday. If you have a hangover, shall I make miso soup later?”

“Thank you, I’ll be saved.”

Miyoshi-senpai, who was walking half asleep, stopped walking.

“Who is this, Ichinose-kun?”

She opened her clear eyes wide and asked me in a husky voice.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Fujisaki Nene. You’re the former supervisor of brother-in-law, right? Thank you for always taking care of brother-in-law.”

Before I introduced her, Nene-chan quickly stood up and introduced herself.

Her bow was so beautiful that it made me realize that she was the daughter of the Fujisaki family.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Miyoshi Yui. As you may know, I am the former supervisor of Ichinose-kun.”

Miyoshi-senpai rakes up her hair and Nene-chan smiles.

Then they looked at each other and remained silent for a while.

“Miyoshi-senpai, how about having dinner with us? Nene-chan, have a seat as well.”

Both of them remained standing, so I urged Miyoshi-senpai to sit at the table and told Nene-chan to take a seat.

“Thank you, Ichinose-kun. Fujisaki-san, may I join you?”

“Yes, I don’t mind.”

Nene-chan seemed shy, but it didn’t seem like that.

This is the first time more than three people have had breakfast together.

I’m usually alone with my mother, and I’ve been alone ever since I graduated from university.

The larger the number of people, the better the taste will be.

◇◆◇

“Fujisaki-san, can you imagine Ichinose-kun couldn’t do anything without me when he joined the company? Since then, he has been working hard with me side by side. It’s only now that his efforts have paid off that he can do his job.”

“Oh, I see. But I might be able to imagine that. Brother-in-law’s cooking is really good now, but the first time he made it was dark brown. He worked hard with me and got better at it. Brother-in-law is a hard worker, isn’t he?”

“Yes, yes. I know best that he’s a hard worker.”

“I’m the closest to him right now, so I know him very well.”

“But it’s his first time cooking, you know.”

“Side by side, you say?”

I knew both of them and thought I had to go around, but that was not the case.

As far as I’m concerned, their conversation goes on and on without me.

Miyoshi-senpai’s remarks completely changed the atmosphere that seemed gentle.

“I was curious. You said you’re Fujisaki-san, didn’t you? Are you by any chance a relative of Ichinose-kun’s ex-fiance?”

“Yes… I am.”

“Then let me tell you that your family has nothing to do with Ichinose-kun anymore, doesn’t it? Because your sister broke off the engagement.”

“Miyoshi-senpai, There’s a reason for that…”

“Ichinose-kun, don’t say anything, and I’m asking her. What on earth do you mean by she still coming to your house and calling you her brother-in-law?”

She pointed out with a strong stare.

Her husky voice becomes even lower, making the listener feel pressured.

Nene-chan’s red eyes wavered.
