My wife believes me; how could I be a cuckold?

This is also why he insisted on sending Yuna Kanno back.

However, despite not answering his final "sexual harassment" question, Yuna Kanno now shows a determination to stay, which is quite different from his plans.

This is absolutely unacceptable. He must send Yuna Kanno back to ensure the system upgrade goes perfectly.

But before that, he had to figure out why Yuna Kanno wanted to stay here.

After all, the system is currently undergoing an upgrade and is on strike. No matter what he does or says, he will not receive real-time feedback. If he rashly takes action to send Yuna Kanno back, it could cause very big problems.

So after a moment of stunned silence, Makoto Asano came to his senses and began to think about why Yuna Kanno wanted to stay here.

Could it be that, as Risa Kanno said, Yuna Kanno is worried about her safety being alone at home tonight because she might not be going home, and that's why she wants to stay here?

That's ridiculous!

Because she has absolutely no reason to be afraid of being unsafe staying at home alone.

After all, that was her home. What reason did she have to be so afraid that she wouldn't dare to go back home, even at the risk of being bullied by Makoto Asano?

Is there really such a reason, such a reason to be so afraid...?

……what?

At that moment, Makoto Asano suddenly paused.

It suddenly occurred to him.

That reason seems to actually exist.

When he first used the "Nightmare" skill card, he had peeked into Yuna Kanno's past and knew about some things that had happened in her family.

Thinking back to the mess her house was in when he picked her up yesterday afternoon, Makoto Asano could roughly guess what Yuna Kanno was afraid of.

However, if that's the reason, then things will be much easier.

Yuna Kanno only wanted to stay here tonight because she was afraid of facing that scumbag father alone.

The problem is, even if she does go back tonight, she won't be alone at home.

Because her mother, Risa Kanno, hadn't been working overtime at all; what she said on the phone earlier was just a lie to deceive her and make her stay.

Even after figuring out all the details of the matter, Makoto Asano did not intend to tell Yuna Kanno everything directly and then force her to go home.

Clearly, she was in a state of extreme fear at that moment.

So even though the system is currently undergoing upgrades and cannot be used, Makoto Asano is very clear about one thing.

That means if I really force her to go home, her favorability towards me will definitely drop significantly.

However, even without forcing Yuna Kanno to go home, Makoto Asano has other ways to get her to return.

In fact, after figuring out the truth of the matter, Makoto Asano immediately came up with a solution.

Moreover, his method not only solves the problem but also does not contradict his initial plan to treat Yuna Kanno roughly, suppress her firmly, and prevent her from having any thoughts of resistance.

After figuring out a solution, Makoto Asano came to his senses and turned his attention back to Yuna Kanno.

Looking at her expectant eyes, as if she wanted to know whether he would send her back.

Makoto Asano didn't say anything, but instead curled up a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth and bent down to gently blow a breath into her ear.

Only after her earlobes turned slightly red with embarrassment did Makoto Asano say softly, "But I really want to go to Yuna's house. Didn't your mother just say that she might not be going home tonight?"

"In that case, would I have a chance to... do this to you in your own home?"

Even if Makoto Asano didn't finish his sentence, as long as Yuna Kanno could understand it, the effect was already achieved.

Yuna Kanno, whose earlobes were only slightly red before, blushed completely after hearing his words.

At the same time, an incredulous expression appeared on her face, as if she couldn't understand why Makoto Asano would have such a perverted idea.

So after regaining her senses, she immediately reacted fiercely, shouting, "You bastard, pervert, scum! Don't even dream about it! I absolutely will not agree to that!"

Despite being scolded by Yuna Kanno again, Makoto Asano felt no displeasure whatsoever.

This means that the first step of his plan has been completed, and from now on, this event will begin to enter the area he is most familiar with.

That is, to use force to coerce Yuna Kanno into agreeing to go home with him.

Therefore, after being refuted by Yuna Kanno, Makoto Asano did not show any particularly strong reaction.

He simply smiled and said in a calm tone, "Little Yuna, you seem to have misunderstood something—my words are never requests, but commands."

"Since I said I'd take you home after dinner, I'll definitely do it. So I advise you to get some rest now, so you won't be too tired tonight..."

"you--!"

Upon hearing this, Yuna Kanno was speechless. She couldn't help but point at Makoto Asano, who had a mischievous grin on his face, but she couldn't say a word.

Seeing her reaction, Makoto Asano nodded with great satisfaction.

Although there was no real-time notification from the system, he could still tell.

After he said those words, aside from anger and shame, Yuna Kanno's attitude towards him didn't change much compared to before; in fact, her submissiveness might have even increased.

Although he had previously said that he couldn't force Yuna to go home, otherwise he might lose favor with her, it was clear that the current situation was completely different from before.

The reason why Yuna Kanno didn't want to go home before was because of fear and apprehension. She was afraid to stay at home alone and face her bastard father who might come back at any time.

If Makoto Asano forces her to go home under these circumstances, she will definitely be extremely disappointed in him, and her favorability towards him will naturally plummet.

The reason she doesn't want to go back now is simply because she feels ashamed and indignant about what Makoto Asano said earlier, and she doesn't want to do that kind of thing with him in her own home.

Compared to the seriousness of the previous situation, this matter can perhaps only be considered playful banter between young lovers.

After all, in Yuna Kanno's eyes, Makoto Asano has always been this kind of person, always liking to force her to do things she doesn't like.

So even if Makoto Asano forces her to go home at this time, apart from feeling helpless and ashamed, she will not have any negative emotions towards Makoto Asano, nor will she lose too much goodwill towards him.

And this is precisely what Makoto Asano wanted to achieve.

In reality, his plan was very simple: he would just find a reason that fit his persona, and then use that as a pretext to tell Yuna Kanno that he would go back with her and spend the night at her house.

Ultimately, the reason why Yuna Kanno didn't want to go home was simply because she was afraid of being alone at home.

If that's the case, wouldn't it be enough if someone could stay at home with her?

Even if "staying with her" is just empty promises, it doesn't matter at all if I leave immediately after dropping her off at home.

Because after sending her home, she would naturally see Risa Shinno, who had already returned home, and would naturally realize that her mother had lied to her on the phone.

However, she didn't feel any negative emotions about it; on the contrary, she felt a little fortunate.

I'm glad I can be with my mom at night instead of being home alone.

I'm also glad that I'm lucky enough that I don't have to be bullied by Makoto Asano in my own home anymore.

In short, everything so far has been as Makoto Asano had envisioned.

Therefore, after a "quarrel" that was not intense but whose outcome was already predetermined.

With a face full of shame and indignation, Yuna Kanno got into Makoto Asano's car and embarked on the road back to her home.

Chapter 84 Mother and daughter meet

Six p.m.

When Risa Kanno returned home from get off work and opened her bedroom door, she saw that the living room was almost unchanged from when she left that morning, and she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

This means that her husband, Hiroki Kanno, did not return home tonight.

Risa Kanno changed her shoes in the entryway and walked into the living room. She sat down in a chair and rested for a while before starting to clean the room as usual.

Because the house wasn't ransacked by Hiroki Kanno today, her work was much easier than usual, and she cleaned it up in no time.

After tidying up the room, Risa Kanno began to eat dinner.

After taking a bite of the unidentified paste she had just painstakingly prepared, she closed her eyes in pain.

"It tastes so bad..."

Risa Kanno can't cook, and the food she makes is really not worth praising.

It's just that cooking at home is much more economical than eating out or ordering takeout.

After all, the family was so poor they could barely afford food, so they naturally tried to save money wherever possible in areas where it was necessary to spend it.

Thinking of this, Risa Kanno sighed silently, then closed her eyes, held her breath, and prepared to finish this bowl of food that could barely be called food in one go.

Just then, she suddenly heard the sound of a door lock turning.

She suddenly looked up at the door directly opposite the dining table, and a sense of nervousness began to creep into her heart.

Because she knew that her daughter, Yuna, wouldn't be coming home tonight; she would be staying at her boyfriend's house instead.

The only person who has a key to their own house, besides themselves, is... wait?

Risa Kanno paused for a moment, a look of surprise immediately appearing on her face.

Just when she thought the person who opened the door was her nominal husband, Hiroki Kamino, she suddenly heard the voices of a young man and woman coming from the doorway.

Although she couldn't hear the conversation clearly and had never heard the man's voice before, she was very familiar with the woman's voice because it was her daughter, Yuna Kanno's voice.

That is to say...

Yuna said she was staying there tonight, so why is she suddenly back?

Just as Risa Kanno was thinking this, the door was opened a crack, and the previously inaudible conversation gradually became clearer.

"You really are a bastard and a pervert! You think about that in everything!"

This is Yuna Kanno's voice, and you can hear the shame and anger in her tone.

At the very moment those words were spoken, the door was flung open.

Just as Risa Kanno was about to subconsciously begin to ponder the meaning of that sentence, she saw one... two familiar figures behind the open door.

The person standing in front, needless to say, is none other than Yuna Kanno, who is currently using her right hand to grab the doorknob and push open the door.

However, Risa Kanno did not look at her daughter, but instead looked directly at what was behind her.
