ASFUCITWON Chapter 51: The Story of Kasumi 7
🕑 Added 2024-12-10 12:45:52 +0000 UTC"Yes... Thank you, aunt, for letting me feel that. I... don't know what to say, but it... made me feel better."
I silently stared at Reiji, watching how he lowered his head like someone unsure of what he had just said.
A small smile spread across my face.
Reiji... if I can reach your happiness in this way, then I will do it.
Kyoko, forgive me for not being able to take care of your son well all this time.
But I promise, from now on, I will try to give my best for Reiji.
I will make Reiji happy, Kyoko... for you.
"It's okay," I finally said, my voice low, almost like a whisper. "I just came to check on you, and it seems you're okay now. Because of that, I will leave."
I turned slowly, but before I could take a step away, Reiji's soft voice stopped me.
"Uhm... Aunt?"
I paused for a moment, turning slightly without really looking at him.
"What?" I asked briefly, trying to suppress the annoyed tone in my voice.
Even though I always felt amused being called "aunt," this time it felt lighter.
"Thank you so much for all your help. Even though I can't remember everything clearly... but really, thank you," Reiji said, his voice sounding sincere despite being quiet.
Reiji's eyes were downcast, as if afraid of what I might say.
"I hope you're happy with the Clan Leader. Anyway... I feel guilty about what happened earlier," Reiji said softly, but full of remorse.
I noticed a slight glimmer in Reiji's eyes.
Even though Reiji is still young, I could feel that he was beginning to show his maturity, even in a very simple way.
It seems Reiji understands that touching my chest might create a bad relationship with my husband.
But that won't happen, because after all, I have come to regard Reiji as my own son; as his mother, isn't it natural for me to let my son touch my chest?
So I smiled gently, because Reiji turned out to be very kind, just like Kyoko. I hope Kyoko is here to see Reiji, who has such a good nature like hers.
"Fufu... You're too serious, Reiji." I called softly, stepping closer to him.
"Of course I'm happy with my husband," I continued with a small laugh, trying to lighten the mood.
My red hair shimmered in the soft morning light. "Never think otherwise. Do you think I'm doing this because I'm not happy?"
Reiji looked at me with a clear expression of confusion on his face.
I could sense there were many questions Reiji wanted to ask, but it seemed he didn't know where to start.
I sighed and continued, my voice now softer, yet still firm. "No, Reiji. I am happy. I have a complete family, and I have considered you a part of that family. I have long regarded you as my own child."
Reiji's eyes widened, as if my words were something he had never imagined before.
"So," I said with a gentle smile, "for me, if a child touches their mother—even if accidentally—it’s not something you need to worry about."
"All children have touched their mothers' chests, right? After all, you are still a child, so the faint desire to drink milk may still linger within you."
I then pulled Reiji into an embrace, gently patting his back.
Reiji's body felt stiff for a moment, but he slowly began to relax in my arms.
"Don't worry," I whispered, gently stroking Reiji's head. "You can always talk to me. If something is bothering you, just say it. I'm here for you."
After a moment, I slowly released the embrace.
My smile remained on my face, filled with sincere affection.
