In Odaiba, Minato-ku, Tokyo, at the same time period, Mizuki Kudo came home from work, and instead of habitually going to take a shower first, she took the initiative to sit next to her mother.

Wakana Kudo took the TV's remote control from the side and pressed mute. She got straight to the point and said, "Is there something going on?" ”

Kudo Mitsuki said without the slightest beating: "Sakura is pregnant." ”

Kudo Wakana was stunned at first, and then said unhappily: "Nowadays, young people are popular to marry their children, and she is an exception!" What does a man do? ”

Mizuki Kudo said truthfully: "City councilor of Wakayama City. ”

Kudo Wakana looked sideways at her, and asked herself with a serious face, "The child in Sakura's belly is Shuichi's?" Impossible, impossible, impossible. ”

Mitsuki Kudo said bluntly: "Why is it impossible? Mom, you don't need to excuse Xiuyi at all. ”

Kudo Wakana said seriously: "It's not easy for your dad to change his opinion of Xiuyi." If this one thing is known to him, it will be a big deal.

What's more, not long after your brother became a city councilor in Wakayama City, there was such a scandal, which is not a joke. I'm sure you won't be able to watch Shuichi's future ruined! ”

Mitsuki Kudo has told the truth: "Although Shuichi and Sakura have had an interview, they have not talked at all. Shuichi's meaning is to let Sakura get rid of the child in her belly, but Sakura is going to give birth. ”

Kudo Wakana frowned and said, "Why didn't Shuichi mention such a big thing to me?" ”

Mitsuki Kudo said truthfully: "Didn't Shuichi come to Tokyo on the pretext of a business trip that day, and bought you a special pastry from Toraya?"

I guess he wanted to talk to you about this, but for some reason or temporarily changed his mind. ”

Kudo Wakana said: "The child in Sakura's belly is really Shuichi's seed?" ”

Mitsuki Kudo completely trusted her best friend and said, "Mom, if you don't believe it, then you can wait until the child is born and then do a paternity test." ”

The sadness on Kudo Wakana's face appeared: "What's going on! ”

Mizuki Kudo has one thing to say: "Now, Sakura has voluntarily quit her job at the Karuizawa Commercial Bank's Roppongi branch in Minato-ku and stayed in a rented apartment to raise her baby. ”

Wakana Kudo asked rhetorically, "Why did she quit her job?" ”

Mitsuki Kudo said seriously: "It was the job I asked her to quit voluntarily." This belly is getting bigger day by day, and it's getting more and more impossible to hide from people!

The place where Sakura works, her colleagues know that she is not married. suddenly conceived a child, so naturally it is inevitable to attract criticism behind the scenes.

Even if you can cope with the past for a while, you can't cope with the future. Even if it is a marriage with a son, there must be a groom and a wedding.

Where to find the groom? The child's biological father is again married. If Sakura's colleagues hadn't been invited to the wedding, she wouldn't have been able to stay at her place of work since she had a baby.

This is specifically to keep the job to hire a bunch of extras, in case you wear a gang, and don't you lose face even more? Besides, it's not worth it for a job. Big deal, when Sakura finishes giving birth and comes to work on my side. ”

Wakana Kudo not only knew that her daughter had joined in, but also stood on Sakura's side and said, "Do Sakura-chan's parents know about this?" ”

Mitsuki Kudo said truthfully: "I don't know for the time being. I told Sakura not to tell her parents. I just want to know what you mean, Mom. ”

Kudo Wakana muttered vaguely: "This is a human life after all." ”

Mitsuki Kudo asked her to make a clear statement: "Mom, what you mean is to agree to let Sakura give birth to the child." ”

Kudo Wakana said expressionlessly: "I don't agree, is it useful?" You and Sakura have already made up their minds. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a month before you told me about it. ”

Mitsuki Kudo and Pan explained their bitterness and said, "It's not that I don't want to take the initiative to tell you earlier, but this matter is quite troublesome." Shuichi is my own brother, and Sakura is my best friend.

I'm caught between the two of them, what do you want me to do? Mom, you are from the past, and when you encounter such a thing, you have to give people a certain amount of time to think it through.

I don't believe it, you didn't have an ideological struggle back then. Whether you give birth to me or not to give birth to me depends on your thoughts. ”

While Kudo Wakana did not deny it, she was completely moved and said, "The child is innocent. Since Sakura has decided to give birth to the child, it is good to give birth.

All the expenses incurred in this are paid by our family. As for Sakura's parents, they have been hiding it, which is neither appropriate nor a long-term solution.

It's even more inappropriate for you to come forward and say it. Let Sakura speak, it's hard for her to take the initiative to step over that threshold, so I'll tell it!

Tomorrow, no, you and Sakura will negotiate and let her move to our side as soon as possible. It's not a problem for her to live alone in an apartment as a pregnant woman. ”

Mitsuki Kudo laughed and said, "Mom, I know you have a good heart. ”

Wakana Kudo said eloquently: "I have been a single mother, and I know that it is not easy to be a single mother. Shuichi is not your dad. In the future, he will have to say whether he recognizes the child in Sakura's belly! ”

Mitsuki Kudo immediately expressed her personal attitude and said, "If you don't want it, then I want it." In any case, this child is the blood and blood of our Kudo family after all. To be precise, it's the blood and bones of the Ishihara family. ”

Kudo Wakana said with a serious look: "You really plan to adopt this child in the future." ”

Mitsuki Kudo didn't say anything and smiled: "If I adopt this child, someone will send me to the end in the future." ”

Kudo Wakana said eloquently: "If you have made up your mind, I won't persuade you." Of course, I can't persuade you. However, things have to be re-planned. Tell Sakura's parents about it, then there's no hurry.

Before that, let's hear what Sakura means. If she says, "If you don't tell, then we don't tell." She said, you can tell, then I'll talk about it. And then there's the question, will Sakura agree to give the child to you to raise? ”

Mitsuki Kudo swore solemnly: "Regarding this one thing, even if I am not completely sure, I am ninety percent sure." Who Sakura is, no one knows better than me.

Where did she suffer from the life of being bound by children? Besides, as the queen of the sea, even if there is no Xiuyi in her future life, she will not be able to fall in love with other men. ”
