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

Makoto Asano suddenly realized that half a minute wouldn't be enough time for Eriko Miyajima to put on all those clothes.

Not to mention that she must have tried on her two already soaking wet clothes beforehand, so the actual time she spent getting dressed would have been even less.

Is it possible that she wasn't wearing anything underneath?

Of course, it's also possible that when she knocked on the door, she only took off her skirt and top, and didn't actually undress herself completely.

Rather, this possibility is actually greater.

Even so, Makoto Asano couldn't help but look at Eriko Miyajima in front of him again, taking a closer look.

Unfortunately, because he was quite tall, his coat was a bit too big for Eriko Miyajima; the hem almost reached her knees.

For the same reason, even though the jacket was completely soaked by the rain, it couldn't fit snugly against her body, so she couldn't see what was inside.

Because he didn't see what he wanted to see and his curiosity wasn't satisfied, Makoto Asano sighed subconsciously.

However, this "boyfriend shirt" style seems pretty good.

Let them try it next time...

Thinking of this, he became excited again.

Meanwhile, Eriko Miyajima, who had been keeping her eyes on him ever since the door opened, naturally noticed his series of changes as well.

In just a moment, Eriko Miyajima, who was already feeling incredibly ashamed because of her revealing clothes, roughly guessed his thoughts, and her face began to burn uncontrollably.

Even the hair that was wet from the rain seemed to be steaming from the heat.

"Asano-kun, is there something you need when you knock?"

The reason I didn't have time to change clothes was because I was in a hurry to open the door, and I was in a hurry to open the door because I thought Asano Makoto had something urgent to say after hearing him knock on the door.

But after opening the door, he didn't say anything. Instead, he just kept staring at us, as if there was no problem at all.

Therefore, Eriko Miyajima's tone of voice unconsciously carried a hint of annoyance.

Interestingly, although Makoto Asano had done similar things before, she felt shy but never embarrassed or annoyed by them.

Perhaps this also reflects that the relationship between the two has become much more familiar than before.

Because when they weren't very familiar with each other, her politeness wouldn't allow her to do such a thing, but now that they've become closer, it's okay.

However, rather than being angry, her annoyance at this moment seemed more like a cover-up for her shame and the joy that Asano Makoto felt because she had attracted him.

"Ahem, what is that..."

Knowing full well what he had just done, Makoto Asano, sensing something was off about Eriko Miyajima's tone, coughed twice in an attempt to distract her.

He scratched his cheek awkwardly and explained, "When you went into the bathroom, I was thinking of putting your bag away for you, so I took it in my hand. But when I came out, I forgot to put it down and accidentally brought your bag out with me."

After saying that, looking at Eriko Miyajima's disbelieving expression, as if to say "you knocked on the door for such a small thing", he immediately added, "Actually, I was thinking of putting it back after you finished showering and opened the door."

"Just now someone suddenly called, and I was afraid the caller had something urgent, so I... Ah! But Eriko, don't worry, I didn't touch your bag, nor did I peek to see who made the call."

Seeing Asano Makoto raise one hand to swear an oath while handing over his bag, looking as if he was afraid she would misunderstand, Miyajima Eriko couldn't help but chuckle softly, and she didn't seem so angry anymore.

However, she didn't have the time to continue doing so.

After laughing, she suddenly realized what Asano Makoto's words really meant.

After all, there's only one person who would call her at a time like this.

That was her boyfriend, Yuta Yamada.

Eriko Miyajima paused for a moment, then immediately took the handbag from Makoto Asano and rummaged through it to find her phone.

Because there was about a minute between the phone ringing and her opening the door, the call had already been disconnected.

However, after opening the phone and checking the call log, the name "Yamada Yuta" can still be clearly seen.

Even though nothing had happened between her and Makoto Asano... nothing had happened yet, she couldn't help but feel a surge of tension and subconsciously looked up at Makoto Asano in front of her.

"Forehead……"

Noticing her gaze, Makoto Asano pretended to know nothing.

After another two seconds, he said with a look of sudden realization, "Eriko, go inside and answer the call. Close the door. I'll be fine."

However, upon hearing this, Eriko Miyajima shook her head and said, "...No, no need, Asano-kun, it's enough that you're here."

Before he could even speak, Eriko Miyajima dialed her boyfriend's number right in front of him, as if she had made up her mind.

Then, the phone rang again.

About ten seconds later, the call was connected.

The moment the call connected, her boyfriend's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Eriko, what are you doing? Why didn't you answer the phone?"

"Nothing."

Faced with Yuta Yamada's question, she did not feel nervous. She simply considered her words for a moment before calmly replying, "I was just about to take a shower when you called as soon as I entered the bathroom, so I didn't have time to answer."

For some reason, while she was speaking, her gaze remained fixed on Makoto Asano, her beautiful eyes fixed on him without blinking.

Upon hearing this, Yamada Yuta on the other end of the phone didn't suspect anything, but asked with some surprise, "You're already home? So fast?"

"No."

"Then you are—"

Before Yamada Yuta could finish his question, "So how did you take a bath?", Miyajima Eriko interrupted, explaining, "I rented a hotel outside..."

She paused slightly at this point, then added, "With Asano-kun."

Chapter 160 Cleaned up

When he heard Eriko Miyajima reveal his name directly, Makoto Asano couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise.

What surprised him even more was that when she said this, Eriko Miyajima's tone was incredibly calm, generous, and composed, without even the slightest ripple of emotion.

It's as if booking a hotel room with him is a very common thing.

At this moment, looking at Eriko Miyajima who had turned on speakerphone right in front of him, Makoto Asano couldn't help but hesitate.

He hesitated, wondering if he should speak up.

However, just as he was about to introduce himself to Yuta Yamada on the other end of the phone, Yuta Yamada asked urgently, "With Asano-kun? Where is he?"

Clearly, even the most oblivious person would subconsciously begin to have doubts after hearing Eriko Miyajima's answer.

This time, when faced with his question, Eriko Miyajima remained silent for a short while, but really only for a short time.

She quickly replied in a calm tone, "Of course he was outside the door. When I first came into the room, I said I wanted to take a shower, and he just left."

What to say?

If you were to say she lied, that wouldn't really be accurate.

Because Makoto Asano is indeed outside the door right now.

The only problem was that the door was open, and Makoto Asano was even standing opposite her.

However, Yuta Yamada was unaware of this. Upon hearing his girlfriend's reply, he awkwardly chuckled and said, "Ah! Is that so? Haha, well, Asano-kun is a good person after all."

"Yes, he really is a very good person..."

As she said this, a strange light flickered in Eriko Miyajima's beautiful eyes as she looked at Makoto Asano.

On the other side, Yuta Yamada couldn't help but feel guilty.

Yes, Asano-kun is clearly such a sensible and kind person, yet I subconsciously doubted him just now.

That's truly a sin.

No matter how you look at it, they must have encountered something very special to book a hotel room, right?

Just like...

Thinking of this, Yuta Yamada remembered the real reason he had called and quickly asked, "Eriko, has a typhoon hit your area too?"

He was no longer going to ask which hotel the two had booked, or how many rooms they had booked.

After all, Makoto Asano is so sensible, he naturally considered things very carefully and booked two single rooms, or even two double rooms.

In any case, it's impossible for the two of them to be in the same room.

And Eriko is so understanding, she would never do anything to betray him.

So he gradually felt relieved, and even the last remaining doubts in his heart disappeared.

On the other side, after hearing his question, Eriko Miyajima nodded and said, "Yes, a typhoon suddenly came just now, and Asano-kun and I got soaked. So we found a nearby hotel to take shelter from the rain and take a shower to prevent catching a cold."

"Me too, a typhoon suddenly came, and it's so big. Judging from the rain, it probably won't stop anytime soon."

Hearing her affirmative answer, Yamada Yuta couldn't help but smile wryly, "I called you because of this. I was thinking that since it's raining so hard, I might as well not go home tonight and stay at the company to work overtime... Our boss is very nice. He even reserved beds for us at the company and said that it would be fine for us to live at the company every day."

As he spoke, he sighed again and said, "I was thinking of telling you about this so you wouldn't have to cook for me when you got back, but I didn't expect you to be caught in a typhoon and couldn't come back."

"That's it..."

Hearing her boyfriend say that, Eriko Miyajima didn't know what to say, so she could only give a perfunctory reply.

After she finished speaking, the two fell silent.

Because they didn't know what to say, no one spoke again.

After a while, unable to bear the atmosphere any longer, Yuta Yamada suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Eriko, let's not talk about this anymore. Go take a shower first, or you'll catch a cold."

"Yes, Yuta, you should also take care of your health and not work too late."

"Don't worry, I'm very strong!"

After saying this, before Eriko Miyajima could say anything more, Yuta Yamada hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Makoto Asano immediately said with some concern, "Eriko, go take a shower."

At this moment, perhaps because of the cold, Eriko Miyajima's body began to tremble slightly, and even her face began to turn an unusual red.

Actually, the air conditioning was already on in the room, and the temperature was gradually rising.
