Yaeko looked at the young man beside him. She had known him from her daughter and had saved her several tis. She observed him from his side. She had to admit with his appearance it would be easy for him to get as many girls as he wanted.
Yaeko was still doubting whether he was trying to court her daughter or not.
"What's wrong? Why did you keep looking at my face?" Yaeko was blushing in response. She didn't answer him and looked away.
Yuuki wrinkled his eyebrows,'Did she hate that much?" He rubbed his nose. He decided to change the conversation.
"Did you just go ho?" Yuuki asked.
Yaeko sighed, "Yeah," her work made her very tired.
"Is your job making you go ho this late?" Yuuki asked.
"I'm a single mother, I have to work so late for my child," Yaeko said. Her work made her stress and it really took a lot of energy.
"Where did you work?" Yuuki asked.
"I'm working as an editor on a Nogi publisher," Yaeko said tiredly.
Yuuki raised his eyebrow, "What kind of book?"
"Light novel," Yaeko said.
"Light novel?" Yuuki was surprised.
"Yeah, it's a novel for a teenager," Yaeko looked toward him who had a surprised expression, "What? You didn't expect to work in that place?"
Yuuki nodded, "Yeah but that ans we're more connected than we thought."
Yaeko raised her eyebrow, "What do you an? Are you gonna flirt with an old lady like ?" There was a blush on her face.
"I don't an that I have a light novel publisher company, that ans we have the sa line of working," Yuuki tried to fix the misunderstanding.
"Oh, that's what you an," Yaeko felt quite disappointed but suddenly she heard his voice next to her ears.
"You're not an old lady, you're still a very charming woman in front of my eyes, Yaeko," his deep voice made her shiver. She tried to fight her blush and looked at him with hateful expression.
"DON'T TEASE SOONE OLDER THAN YOU!!" Yaeko reprimanded him.
"Hahaha, you're very cute, Yaeko," Yuuki teased.
"YOU!!!" Yaeko showed an angry expression.
They were talking to each other until they arrived at her apartnt.
Yaeko felt reluctant to walk away. It had been a while since she was having ti like this though her partner was several years younger than her and she felt strangely comfortable with him. She opened the door and looked toward him.
"Thank you for delivering back," Yaeko said, but she didn't want to separate from him.
"Yes, don't worry about it," Yuuki smiled.
Yaeko tried to think of a way to make him stay, "That's right, how about you visit my apartnt?" When she realized she invited him inside her house. She felt very embarrassed,'What if he rejected? Did you not be aware of your age?' She started to get pessimist but when she heard his voice.
"Sure, I have always wanted to visit your ho," Yuuki said while he took off his seat belt.
"Good, my mom can make the most delicious perilla juice and both Yuzu and Shouko will be happy to see you," Yaeko felt a bit excited.
"Hey? Did you agree with my relationship with Shouko, mother in law?" Yuuki asked.
"DON'T CALL MOTHER IN LAW!!" Yaeko felt uncomfortable when she heard him call her mother in law.
"What should I call you then?" Yuuki asked.
"Hmph," Yaeko didn't say anything and looked away.
When he looked at her he had never thought this woman in front of him was this cute. He chuckled at her actions.
"Wh-why did you laugh!!" Yaeko showed an angry expression.
"Nothing, I just think that you're very cute, Yaeko," Yuuki felt almost chard by her.
"Don't tease soone older than you idiot!!" Yaeko walked away but turned her head when she saw him didn't move, "What are you doing there? Hurry up and follow !!"
Yuuki smiled and walked toward her, "Wait for !"
Their ages are too far apart but who cares as long as there is feeling nothing is going to block it.
Yuuki followed Yaeko by her side. He saw her open her apartnt door.
"I'm ho," Yaeko said.
"Welco ho, Yaeko," a short grandma with a kind smile greeted her. She noticed a young man behind her and looked quite curious, "Who is this?"
Before she introduced him, he introduced himself first, "Hello, grandma, my na is Yuuki."
Yaeko grumbled by his side and nodded at her mother.
"Oh!! You're Yuuki!! Co one!! Let's go inside! Did you have your dinner? How about you eat here? That's right, I'll give you my special perilla juice!! Shouko!! Yuzu!! Co here, Yuuki cos to our ho!!" Ito was very excited. She looked very lively and greeted him as if he was coming to ask her daughter to marry.
Yuuki smiled, "Haha, thank you very much."
Suddenly both girls ca out when they heard their grandma call them.
"What are you doing here??" Yuzu was confused.
"Youuki!!!" Shouko was excited and walked toward him.
They talked with each other and made Yaeko feel helpless. She was wondering whose house was this?
Ito asked a lot of questions since it was her first ti seeing him. She had heard her daughter and her grandchildren talking a lot about him. She was quite curious about him and from her perspective, he was a very attractive young man. She would be relieved to leave her daughter to him.
Yuuki and Yaeko didn't tell them about the earlier matter since it would cause them to be worried. He stayed for a while and decided to go ho since it was quite late.
"Bring this with you," Ito gave him a perilla juice.
"Thank you," Yuuki received it.
"You should co often," Yuzu said.
"Yeass, yuu shoald coem often," Shouko also nodded.
Yuuki nodded at them and looked toward Yaeko who looked away.
"You can co anyti if we're not that busy," Yaeko wasn't being honest.
"Yes, I'll co to your ho," when he was going to walk out Ito pulled his hand and told him to crouch down. He nodded and followed her request.
"Please take care of my daughter," Ito bowed.
Yuuki felt strange,'Isn't it take care of your granddaughter?' He shook his head and didn't think much about it, "I'm going ho first".
After that, he went back to his ho.
Yuzu and Shouko went back to their room since he had gone ho.
When Yaeko wanted to take a rest back to her room but her mother told her to stay. She sat beside her and listened to her.
"Do you like him?" Yaeko was blushing when she heard her mom's words.
"What are you talking about? He is the sa age as Shouko!! It wouldn't be strange if soone called his mom," Yaeko felt hurt when she said that.
Ito shook her head and held her hands, "Be honest with your feelings, I don't want you to spend your days stressing about your daughters and work."
Yaeko shook her head, there was no way such a young man would show an interest in an old lady like her, "I'm going to sleep first." She left her and walked toward her room.
Ito shook her head and she felt her daughter was just too stubborn. She knew her daughter's age was just too far apart from him but she wanted her to be happy before she left them.
