My new wife discovered my past.

Mrs. Watanabe first responded to Mr. Miyagawa's inquiry.

[Watanabe Noriko: I couldn’t get in touch with Ms. Saotome, so I didn’t invite her.]

[Mr. Miyagawa and Ms. Saotome work in the same office. Do you know what happened?]

[Miyagawa Lu: Saotome-sensei asked for a long vacation more than ten days ago. I don’t know the details.]

[Kato Yui: Maybe there was an emergency at home?]

[Miyagawa Lu: I think so. Saotome-sensei mentioned it before.]

They all tacitly avoided mentioning the name "Matsumoto Hitomi", and it was obvious that Mrs. Watanabe disliked her very much.

After all, Matsumoto Hitomi's admiration for the engaged Watanabe Tetsuya is so obvious that only a fool would not see it.

In this situation, it would be ridiculous if Noriko Watanabe were to be generous to Hitomi Matsumoto.

[Kato Yua: How about we get together tomorrow and chat? I'll decide the time and place!]

Keiko was waiting for this sentence! She had originally wanted to find the most appropriate time and topic to invite him, but she didn't expect that someone would immediately offer her a pillow when she felt sleepy.

Kato Yua's efficiency is so efficient and useful!

Miss Kato is the sky! Miss Kato is the best in the world!

Unable to help but cheer for Mrs. Takahashi in her heart, Mrs. Watanabe immediately echoed her in the discussion group with great joy.

[Watanabe Noriko: Okay, okay!]

[Then I'll leave it to Mrs. Takahashi!]

Miyagawa Lu changed her position on the bed, without taking her eyes off the phone screen.

Regarding herself, Miyagawa Lu also had something that she originally wanted to talk about with her best friend Matsumoto Hitomi first, wanting to hear her advice.

Since Mrs. Watanabe and Mrs. Takahashi both have appointments tomorrow, Miyagawa Lu thinks it wouldn't be a bad idea to go to the appointments first, talk to them, and ask for their advice...

Chapter 221: Jizi: What! I’m not the only one pregnant?

Rinto Takahashi came out of the bathroom and wiped his hair. He saw Yua Kato with her phone screen on and two fingers typing flexibly. He felt strange: "Why didn't you put on the mask on time today? It's rare. Who is she chatting with?"

"With Mrs. Watanabe and Mrs. Kurosawa." Kato Yua didn't even raise her head.

"Mrs. Kurosawa?"

Just as Takahashi Rinto was about to get on the bed, he was stunned. Finally, he thought about it and realized that the "Mrs. Kurosawa" she was referring to was Miyagawa Lu.

"You~!" He couldn't help but raise his hand and slap Kato Yua's round and plump body as she lay on her side. Takahashi Rinto lay comfortably on the bed and told her:

"Kurosawa and Miyagawa are not like the two of us, nor are they like Watanabe and his fiancée. They are an office romance that is strictly prohibited by the school, and they have only just broken that window paper and have been dating for less than a month...

"Just say something like 'Mrs. Kurosawa' in private and make a few jokes. Don't keep teasing them in front of the two parties involved. After all, it's not like the four of us are engaged... It's not good to say too much."

"I know~" Kato didn't feel any dissatisfaction with Takahashi's sermon. She just frowned and snorted at him: "Be gentle! You know my current situation."

Takahashi Rinto apologized repeatedly, causing Kato Yua to snort a few more times.

"By the way, what were you talking about with them?"

"We are going to have another tea party tomorrow like the one we had a month ago."

"It seems like you guys are planning to come here once a month... just you, Mrs. Watanabe, and... Mrs. Kurosawa?"

"Yes."

Takahashi Rinto nodded thoughtfully: "They are all married women, so this is fine... What are you going to do at this tea party?"

"It's just that Mrs. Watanabe and Mr. Miyagawa both have something to say." Kato Yuai's mind was not at all on the conversation with Takahashi Rinto. She thought for a moment and set the specific time and place for tomorrow's tea party in the discussion group.

[Kato Yui: How about the Aoyama Hanaya coffee shop in Omotesando at 2pm?]

[Miyagawa Lu: It's the flower shop cafe that has a different theme every week!]

[Yes, yes!]

[It’s super popular on Instagram and TikTok!]

[I've always wanted to go, but unfortunately I don't have the time]

[Watanabe Noriko: No problem]

"I have something to discuss..." Takahashi murmured. He didn't want to see what Kato was talking about in the group. He only thought of what Watanabe asked him to do yesterday.

The investigation has made some progress, but Takahashi Rinto is unsure about the various aspects involved. He plans to find an appropriate time to meet with Watanabe Toru in person to explain the situation in detail.

Since the women's group is holding their second tea party tomorrow, the men's group may be able to do the same!

But when he thought of the outsider Ryosuke Kurosawa, Takahashi Rinto hesitated again. It would be fine for him alone, but if a guy like Kurosawa who was so reckless and had no family support got involved, ten of him would not be enough to kill him!

We can only exclude Kurosawa for the time being...

Takahashi Rinto was thinking this and was about to contact Watanabe Tetsuya when his phone screen lit up with a message from the men's tea party group chat.

[Ryosuke Kurosawa: @Tetsuya Watanabe @Rinto Takahashi, everyone~ let's go fishing tomorrow!]

Takahashi Rinto: ………

Who is in the mood to go fishing with you now!!!

"Noriko, Noriko~"

A familiar and warm call rang in her ears, and Shimizu Noriko knew it was the voice of her fiancé Watanabe Tetsuya. (PS: I would like to remind you again in the text that due to force majeure, the "married" and "newlywed wife" settings of Watanabe Tetsuya and Shimizu Noriko in this book must all be changed to "unmarried" and "fiancée", etc. I hope that readers can understand, thank you.)

Jiko did not open her eyes, but just slightly pursed her lips in a half-awake and half-asleep state.

The warm touch lingered for a long time, making Watanabe Noriko feel quite satisfied, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

It's so happy and beautiful. I wish Toru could hug her and kiss her like this forever~!

Noriko Watanabe had a sweet dream.

However, reality gave her the most painful blow.

"Kiko... I still have some work to do at the Jiugong Group. You can get some more sleep. I have closed all the doors and windows of the apartment tightly. Don't worry.

"Get up after you've had enough sleep. Remember to tell me when you go to see Mr. Miyakawa in the afternoon. I'll leave the car to you...

"I'm leaving, Jiko, I love you..."

The sound gradually faded away and became smaller and smaller. Kiko was so scared that she wanted to reach out and grab it, but she was powerless. Not to mention moving her body, she couldn't even open her eyes. She could not do anything. She could only feel how Watanabe left her.

When she woke up at ten in the morning, Noriko didn't know why she was crying. She used to cry occasionally, but recently she had some strange dreams more and more frequently. Whenever she thought of her new husband, Tetsuya Watanabe, she always felt that he was like sand in her hand, which made Noriko Shimizu feel lost.

"...Toruya-kun?" She called out subconsciously, and then Kiko remembered that her Toruya-kun had already gone to the Jiunomiya Group.

There seemed to be a huge hole in her heart. After washing up, Watanabe Noriko was in a daze and had no energy. She lay listlessly on the sofa, watching the replay of last night's show on TV in a daze...

As far as Kiko could remember, this was one of the rare times when Watanabe was not with her on her weekends.

The messages I sent to Tetsuya-kun basically fell on deaf ears. I only got a few and hasty voice replies, which roughly meant that he was very busy at the moment, interspersed with a few intimate kisses, and nothing else.

Noriko Shimizu listened to these few sentences, which lasted less than 30 seconds in total, many times.

All we can say is that Watanabe's voice really works wonders, or it may be the best medicine for Noriko.

Even with just a few words, Noriko Watanabe felt as if she were alive again.

Nearing noon, after simply cooking a bowl of pasta, Noriko Watanabe began to change her clothes and prepare for the second girls' tea party scheduled in the afternoon.

Noriko Shimizu originally wanted to wear her hair in twin ponytails, which was Tetsuya Watanabe's favorite style, but since he was not there, Noriko had to casually comb her long hair and wear a denim skirt.

Because she was pregnant and had to drive later, Jiko didn't wear high heels.

The Aoyama Hanaya coffee shop where we agreed to meet is not far from the Nezu Museum where we had the tea party last time, both near Omotesando.

From the outside, the coffee shop really lives up to its nickname of flower house. Hydrangeas and various green plants are placed in a circle inside and outside the store. The rich and fragrant floral aroma mixed with the sweetness and bitterness of coffee beans hits you in the face.

As soon as she entered, Noriko Watanabe saw Mr. Miyagawa and Ms. Kato who had arrived ten minutes ago. They were sitting by the window and saw Noriko and waved to her.

"Here, this is the coffee Mrs. Watanabe ordered, at room temperature." Kato asked Noriko in advance and kindly helped order it.

"Thank you so much, Yui-chan. I was so hot and thirsty after walking all the way here that I almost couldn't take it anymore~"

The coffee was said to be at room temperature, but it was actually still a bit hot, so Jiko didn't dare drink it in big gulps.

"I haven't seen Mrs. Watanabe for a month. I feel like she has become a little haggard."

"also?"

Kato Yuai explained: "Miyagawa-sensei just told me the same thing."

"Oh, oh, that's not what I meant!" Miyagawa Lu hurriedly waved her hands to explain to Mrs. Watanabe.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Miyakawa, it's just... is my expression really that obvious?"

"I can't say it's obvious, but compared to the impression I had of Mrs. Watanabe a month ago... you can tell at a glance that she's looking haggard." Ms. Kato recalled and asked:

"Is Mrs. Watanabe sick? Otherwise, why would she choose to drink coffee at room temperature?

"If you really weren't feeling well, you should have told us earlier. It's just a party. You can always come back at any time. There's no need to force yourself to attend."

"Yes, yes! Mrs. Takahashi is right!" Miyagawa Lu continued to play the role of supporting actor.

"Well... actually, this is what I came to you to tell you." Holding a cup of coffee in her hand and feeling the warm aroma, Jiko faced the two girls' hopeful, anxious and puzzled gazes. She opened her mouth but was unable to tell them immediately that she was pregnant.

What does the look between them mean?

In the end, her mouth failed to block out the distractions in her brain, and when the time came, Jizi could not back down: "I went for a physical examination yesterday, and luckily... I'm pregnant."

After saying this, the woman lowered her eyes shyly, waiting for the surprised and joyful congratulations.

"Wow! Congratulations to Mrs. Watanabe!"

"The child born from the strong union of Mrs. Watanabe and Mr. Watanabe is absolutely super cute, the kind that can debut as a child star!"

Hmm? No! The content is correct, but what's wrong with the tone of your awesome reading! ?

It was Noriko's turn to look at Kato and Miyagawa in surprise. The two girls tilted their heads and smiled slightly, as if they knew everything.

what! ?

"Ms. Kato, Mr. Miyagawa...you...knew that I was pregnant a long time ago?" Watanabe Noriko was puzzled. Her mind was thinking furiously:

"But I just went for a check-up yesterday and didn't tell anyone. How did you know?"
