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

After packing the items and paying the bill, he took Yuna Kanno home.

The Kamino family's house wasn't far from the shop, and although the two of them deliberately walked very slowly, they arrived at their destination in just five minutes.

Asano Makoto's original plan was to go in and sit for a while after dropping off Kanno Yuna, and then go home later, hoping to catch up on Kanno Risa's progress in the game.

Makoto Asano knew that Risa Kanno was probably still awake, because before she went back, Yuna Kanno had messaged her saying that she would arrive home around 10 o'clock.

So at least until Yuna Kanno gets home, she probably won't sleep.

Moreover, Makoto Asano believed that since she had already made a deal with him, she wouldn't refuse him entry.

But plans can't keep up with changes.

Asano Makoto was originally thinking about how to find topics to chat with Kanno Risa in Kanno Yuna's presence.

After Xiaoyuna took out the key and opened the door, he was no longer troubled by this.

Even when he saw the messy living room and saw Risa Kanno straightening the table while looking up at him with a frosty expression, he couldn't help but smile.

Makoto Asano moved swiftly, and before Yuna Kanno could react, he handed her the snack he was holding and walked into the house without even thinking of changing his shoes.

His eagerness caught Jinno Yuna off guard, who was about to walk forward.

No, Master, is she my mother or your mother?

Why do you seem more anxious than I am?

Although she had doubts, this was the situation, so Yuna Kanno didn't think too much about it.

She even subconsciously felt that Makoto Asano's concern for his mother was based on his love for her, and couldn't help but feel a warm glow inside.

However, upon seeing her mother's picture, she no longer had time to think about these things and followed her inside.

On the other side, Makoto Asano had already come to Risa Kanno's side, silently picked up the table that had fallen to the ground, and then began to quietly tidy up the other things scattered on the ground.

He didn't say a word while doing these things, nor did he ask Risa Kanno "what happened here".

Because there was no need to ask, and he knew very well that Risa Kanno definitely didn't want anyone to bring up this matter at this moment.

"Asano-kun? How could you..."

Upon noticing that the people who opened the door were her daughter and Makoto Asano, Risa Kanno's cold expression vanished, and a look of surprise appeared on her slightly pale face.

She stood there, somewhat at a loss, staring blankly at Asano Makoto who was helping her to straighten the table and chairs.

Actually, she knew that the two of them were coming, and she also knew roughly when they would arrive.

However, because some very unpleasant things had happened not long ago, she was in a state of confusion and even forgot all about the two of them coming back.

So it wasn't until Yuna Kanno and Makoto Asano returned that she finally remembered this.

Actually, she had thought that Yuna Kamino wouldn't be back tonight, so she planned to stay at the convenience store and work another night shift.

After receiving the message from Yuna Kamino, she hurriedly asked the store manager for leave and rushed home, only to find that the living room was in a mess, as if a thief had broken in.

At that time, Hiroki Kanno, the culprit who did all this, had not yet left.

Hearing the door open, he walked out of the bedroom with an expression of irritation that came from not finding the money.

Upon seeing him, he immediately became excited and asked for money. Risa Kanno couldn't help but recall the words Makoto Asano had said that night.

"He now owes a huge amount of money, and it's loan sharks from the mafia."

"I don't know what kind of person he was before, but look at him now, does he really still have a chance?"

“You should know very well that he is now completely addicted to gambling. No matter how you call him, he won’t wake up. Even if he loses everything and his family is ruined, he still won’t come to his senses.”

Upon seeing Hiroki Kanno's frantic expression and realizing that what he said was true, Risa Kanno suddenly thought of her daughter.

And if I continue to be so stubborn, there is a very high probability that a tragic future will occur.

Suddenly, the resentment that had been building up in her heart for so long, but which she had rarely shown because of the slight expectation she held for Hiroki Kanno, completely erupted.

“Mr. Yuki, I have no money left. The 230,000 yen you took last Sunday was my last savings.”

She stared wide-eyed at Hiroki Kamino, gritting her teeth as she said, "We're broke too, have you forgotten? You've sold all the valuables in the house to gamble, and even the jewelry my sister left behind was taken by you last month."

Looking back now, when he opened the box he had locked himself after his sister's death and took all the valuables inside, including her wedding ring, to exchange for money, he was already completely beyond saving.

Even though he had already gone through all that, she still foolishly continued to believe in him.

In the end, it was only after Asano-kun, an outsider, reminded him that he finally realized what was happening.

Risa Kanno, Risa Kanno, you really are...

Thinking of this, and looking at Hiroki Kanno, who seemed surprised to be rejected, Risa Kanno's anger suddenly dissipated.

At that moment, she only felt somewhat pathetic.

She felt sorry for both the lost Hiroki Kamino and herself for blindly believing in him.

Once again, Asano Makoto's face and his words flashed through her mind.

So, for her daughter... and perhaps for her own future, she made a decision in her heart in an instant, and slowly spoke each word.

“Mr. Yushu, I don’t understand why you’ve become like this. You’re clearly a very outstanding person, and you should know very well what the end result is for gamblers, so why are you unwilling to wake up?”

“Because I believed you would repent, I’ve been avoiding saying these things all along. But today, as Jia Shi’s sister and Yuna’s ‘mother,’ I feel I have to tell you: This is the last time I’ll advise you. If you go gambling again…”

At this point, Risa Kanno bit her lip and said in an extremely firm tone, "Then, Mr. Yuuki, I will divorce you and leave this place with Yuna."

Perhaps because she still hoped that Hiroki Kanno would come to his senses, Risa Kanno gave him one last chance, hoping to force him to repent by divorcing him and taking Yuna Kanno with her.

Risa Kanno's idea is actually not problematic.

After she finished speaking, Hiroki Kanno, who had been looking impatient, immediately froze on the spot.

He never expected that Risa Kanno, who had always been very docile and would try to earn money whenever he asked, and who would at most complain and offer a few words of advice, would say such a thing.

However, at this moment, looking at Risa Kanno's frosty face and the utterly disappointed look in her eyes, he wasn't thinking about the mistakes he had made or how to make amends.

What arose in his heart was the same disappointment as that of Risa Kanno.

Yes, it's disappointment.

He was disappointed in Risa Kanno, not understanding why she didn't understand his predicament or why she didn't believe he could turn things around through gambling.

Indeed, gambling is a losing proposition, but I am the one who is the only one out of ten who loses!

Why can't you trust me?

Indeed, I sold Jiashi's jewelry and wedding ring, but do you know how conflicted and heartbroken I was when I made this decision?

Why can't you understand me?

Indeed, I gambled away the two hundred thousand or so I took last Sunday, but I had earned more than six million before losing it all!

That's six million! Thirty times two hundred thousand! And I earned that much money in less than five minutes!

Why can't we see this?

Indeed, although I eventually lost everything, it was only because I was unlucky and guessed the wrong size.

If we had won that time, those six million would have turned into sixty million! The debts would have been wiped out!

Why can't you give me a little more time?

And all the things I've done, weren't they all for you and Yuna?

If it weren't for wanting you all to live the life of the rich, would I have ended up like this?

But you, instead of thanking me for not understanding me, you actually tried to take my daughter away from me?

Don't even think about it!

You're getting a divorce, right?

OK!

Just you wait! I'll divorce you as soon as I make a fortune, and you'll regret it then!

Moreover, Yuna is my daughter, a treasure left to me by Jia Shi!

Nobody can take her away! You, an outsider, are even less likely to do so!

This is what Hiroki Kanno truly thinks.

The more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt, and his expression became increasingly ferocious, his face turning bright red.

That terrifying expression startled Risa Kanno; she couldn't believe he had turned into such a horrifying figure.

Fortunately, Hiroki Kanno retained a sliver of rationality; he did not do anything violent, nor did he answer Risa Kanno's questions about the divorce.

Anyway, he's not too worried about being unilaterally divorced now.

In Japan, couples can only register for divorce at the relevant authorities after reaching an agreement on issues such as divorce, child custody, and property division.

So his face turned pale and then red, and he glared at Risa Kanno with resentment for a while before slamming the door and leaving without saying a word.

He needed to quickly find a way to make some money, then use that small amount to make a lot of money, become a truly wealthy man, and then settle accounts with the woman who had disappointed him so much.

On the other side, Risa Kanno waited until he left before kneeling on the floor, her face pale as if she had lost her soul.

At this moment, her feelings were incredibly complex.

This included both fear and disappointment at Hiroki Kanno's performance, as well as relief at having made the decision.

In her opinion, if she had waited any longer to confront Hiroki Kamino, it would have been too late.

After all, judging from his reaction, he really had no hope left, just as Asano-kun said.

Fortunately, Asano reminded me.

It's all thanks to Asano-kun...

Thinking of this, Risa Kanno couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She sat on the floor for a while, and only after her panicked heart finally calmed down did she slowly stand up with a somewhat numb expression, preparing to start tidying up the house as usual.

Just then, the sound of a key turning came from the doorway.

As for what happened next, there's not much to say.

Thinking it was Hiroki Kanno who had returned, Risa Kanno's face immediately turned icy cold.
