Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

After thinking for a long time, Miyazawa's father said something unexpected.

He explained in a serious tone, "On the one hand, it's because I'm on vacation during the winter break, so I have more free time. On the other hand, I want to take my family to Osaka for a visit."

"Since we are going to discuss the marriage with Haruno's family, why don't we do it together? We can set a date and meet in Osaka later."

"Will you come with us to Osaka?" Sawayama Haruno was a little tempted. He said shyly, "That's fine, but I haven't decided when to return to Osaka yet."

"Is there something else going on at school?" Miyazawa's father asked curiously.

"No, it's about work to be exact."

Sawayama Haruno scratched his head and smiled apologetically, "I'm preparing to start writing my second book recently. In addition, I have to deal with the copyright development of my first book. At the end of the year, I will probably have to go out of town to attend the annual meeting of Kodansha."

It can be said to be very troublesome, but Sawayama Haruno really cannot be absent.

Money is not as easy to make as imagined. Even a player like him who has cheats has to face all kinds of troubles.

Fortunately, Miyazawa's father seemed to understand the difficulties of the job. He nodded and said thoughtfully, "That's no problem. At worst, I can just take Mana and the others with me."

"If that's the case, I understand."

Seeing that he said so, Sawayama Haruno had no choice but to nod and agree.

The two chatted for a while about the Zeshan family, and at the same time, the atmosphere upstairs seemed a little inexplicably strange.

Miyazawa's house, in the study on the second floor.

Miyazawa Mana brought two stools, one of which was left for Maki to sit on, while their mother sat on the chair in front of the desk.

When the three of them sat together, there was an inexplicably frozen atmosphere, as if they were in a courtroom, so depressing that people didn't want to talk.

Miyazawa Maki also noticed this and regretted that she should not have left Haruno alone and come up. She should have waited until he finished talking to his father and then dragged him over to be punished together.

Now I'm alone here and I don't know what to say.

If it were any other time, after two or three sentences, they would probably become unhappy again, right?

Thinking of this, Miyazawa Maki became a little depressed.

To be honest, she didn't want to be angry if possible. After all, she just saw a video yesterday, which was about how getting too angry during pregnancy could affect the development of the baby.

It was precisely because of these reasons that she was reluctant to be the first to speak.

"Maki."

Mana Miyazawa, who was sitting next to her, seemed to have noticed her dissatisfied expression, and after hesitating for a moment, she chose to be the first to stand up.

She asked the most concerned question directly on behalf of her mother.

"Did the doctor say anything special when you went to the hospital for a checkup last time?"

"what?"

Miyazawa Maki turned her head away and snorted, "They are just twins, Haruno told you that, too."

"What's the gender of the twins?" Miyazawa's mother suddenly asked.

"How would I know?" Miyazawa Maki said impatiently, "You have to wait four months before you can check the baby's gender. Didn't you go through it yourself once?"

"."

Miyazawa's mother didn't say anything, but her eyes kept moving back and forth across the desk, and she looked very guilty. "Are they really twins?"

Miyazawa Mana carefully reached out her hand, wanting to touch her sister's belly but was hesitant.

She said with a bit of hesitation: "But... Maki's figure seems to be the same as before, there hasn't been much change."

Even if you see it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe that Maki already has two babies.

In Miyazawa Mana's understanding, pregnancy generally means that a woman's belly will bulge, and if it is twins, it will definitely appear more serious.

But Maki acted like nothing happened now, which made her worry that something might have gone wrong.

"Oh, you're talking about this?"

It would have been better if she didn't say anything. Once she said it, Miyazawa Maki remembered what the doctor had said to her.

She wrinkled her nose and tried to recall, "The doctor seemed to have mentioned this issue, but he didn't specify any significant consequences. He just told me to go back to the hospital for more checkups."

"It's probably to prevent the baby from developing abnormally. I'm also wondering why there haven't been any changes in myself. But since I don't feel uncomfortable, I haven't paid much attention to it." She added.

This was what the kind old lady had told them the last time she and Haruno went to see the doctor.

However, both Sawayama Haruno and she were troubled by the twins at the time, so they didn't really take this kind reminder to heart. What's more, the medical examination report at that time also showed that Maki was in perfect health and had no problems.

But that was all last week. It might be a little weird that there hasn't been any change now, right?

"Since the doctor said so, it would be better to go for another check-up." Miyazawa's mother spoke.

"There are people who don't show their pregnancy, but there are very few people who don't show their twins." She looked at Miyazawa Maki and reminded her, "Find time for Haruno to accompany you to the hospital again."

"Tsk, I know."

Miyazawa Maki responded reluctantly.

The room fell silent again, and the three of them didn't know what to say.

If I were to recall family conversations like this, I'd probably have to go back to junior high school.

After all, since high school, Maki's conflicts with her family have been getting more and more serious.

I couldn't even sit down and have a good chat with Mana, let alone with Mana and her mother.

It has been too long since we last met, so I didn't know what to say when we sat down this time.

At least for Maki Miyazawa, she couldn't think of how to start.

“Is this how it feels?”

She suddenly touched her belly subconsciously, her expression uncertain.

This is an indescribable feeling.

Will I encounter such a situation in the future?

Although Haruno repeatedly emphasized that he would handle family relationships well, Maki thought that if she continued to have this feeling of "having something to say but not being able to say it" in the future, her relationship with the babies would definitely be a mess.

She doesn't want to repeat her own mistakes, so she wants to make changes here.

After realizing this, Miyazawa Maki took a deep breath and said reluctantly, "That."

"Maki."

Unexpectedly, Miyazawa Maki and her mother spoke almost at the same time.

The two looked at each other, and even Miyazawa Mana beside them looked up in confusion.

"You speak first."

Miyazawa Maki reacted the fastest and immediately threw the question back to the other party.

Seeing this, Miyazawa's mother no longer hesitated.

"I just want to say that I may have made a mistake in educating you and Mana."

"Eh"

The other party admitted his mistake so straightforwardly that Miyazawa Maki fell into a brief period of confusion.

Looking at her mother's expression gradually softening, she was a little confused about what she was really thinking.

"When we were in elementary school, there was actually no difference between you and Mana."

Mother Miyazawa sighed slowly.

"Everyone liked you guys back then, but since junior high school, I don't know what's changed. Mana seems to have become more motivated, but you're still stuck in the same position."

"As a mother, I will not change my opinion on whether I love my child or not because of what others say, but I will want to change my child because of what others say, under the pretext of making her better."

"Especially after seeing Mana successfully fulfill the role of an older sister, I wanted you to emulate that. It's probably because of this misconception that we're in this situation today."

Chapter 306 How about staying here tonight?

"What's the point of saying this now?"

After hearing what the other party said, Miyazawa Maki felt aggrieved for no reason.

After all, I have always been compared with my sister Mana, but I always lose.

This psychological shadow has been haunting Miyazawa Maki and has not completely dissipated until now.

It is precisely because of this view from her family and others that her relationship with Mana is now so strained.

“It’s probably useless, but I still want to say it.”

Miyazawa's mother smiled somewhat lonely.

"Maki has twin babies now, so I say these words. I hope you can do better than me in this kind of thing."

"I've been forcing you to chase Mana all this time, but now, as an unfit mother, I should apologize to you."

Miyazawa's mother paused for a moment and said very seriously: "I'm sorry, Maki Mana."

She did not choose to apologize to Maki individually, but also included Mana.

Perhaps she felt that her desire to always treat the other person as a perfect sister was also imposed by her parents.

Although Miyazawa Mana seemed to be more accepting of this matter than her sister, it was still a form of family coercion, so Miyazawa's mother felt that she had to apologize to the other party here.

Obviously, after this sentence came out, Miyazawa Mana's expression changed subtly.

"Mother."

She opened her mouth, not quite sure what to say.

This was the first time she saw her awkward mother showing such a vulnerable expression.

It almost makes people forget how strict she used to be.

Even Miyazawa Maki didn't expect that the usually tough opponent would take the initiative to apologize. After a moment of confusion, she opened her mouth and slowly said, "He forced you to do that?"

"??"

Miyazawa Mana instantly came out of her sad state and looked at her sister speechlessly.

Miyazawa's mother was obviously choked by her little daughter's question. After a long silence, she explained, "No, Zeshan is not that kind of person. He would not threaten me with the baby and you."

"This is just what I want to tell you. Even though you may still hate me, you are still very important to your mother."

"When I had that big fight with you before, it was because I really didn't know what to do. I couldn't just leave it alone, but if I did, it would be counterproductive, so I just kept arguing."

"But fortunately, Zeshan helped both of us to keep enough distance between us," she whispered.

We can't ignore it, otherwise it will backfire.

It perfectly describes the previous state of their home.

After all, Miyazawa's father works away from home all year round, and she is alone at home. Although Mana is a worry-free child, Maki's problems are so difficult that she has no way to solve them.

Plus, she is also a gender-confused person. When two equally gender-confused people get together, it goes without saying that they will start arguing.

If Maki Miyazawa had been left alone at that time, the relationship between her and Mana might have become worse, or she might have done something even more extreme one day.

But controlling her would only make her rebelliousness worse, after all, she simply wouldn't listen to anything.

Fortunately, all these things took a subtle turn on that rainy night. Sawayama Haruno took her away accidentally, which resolved the conflict between the two people with awkward personalities.

After so long, Miyazawa's mother reflected on her actions and attitudes up to now. After witnessing Maki getting better at Haruno's house, she finally realized that this was the only way.

"Suddenly we're talking about that guy again."

For some reason, Miyazawa Maki's mood also became a little depressed.

She pursed her lips and said reluctantly, "So last time you agreed to let me continue to live in Haruno's house, was it for this reason?"

"Well, you were also looking forward to continuing to live there, right?"

"whispering sound"

There's obviously a better way to say it.

No, even if the other party agrees in a nice way, I will misunderstand it as something else, right?

It is precisely because she is also an awkward person that Maki can understand the other person's "clumsiness" in such matters.
