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

Should we simply ignore it, discard all concerns, and continue working with Eriko Miyajima?

how can that be possible?

Putting aside whether he was heartless enough to abandon Konno Yuuka, and whether Konno Yuuka's already fragile heart would collapse because of his sudden departure.

If he really does that, Eriko Miyajima will definitely be affected by it.

She is a very kind and caring person. If she knew that something had happened to Konno Yuuka, and that it was because Asano Makoto was reluctant to spend time with her, she would definitely feel so guilty that she would want to cry.

How about we try a different approach? If I get a call from Konno Yuuka halfway through with Miyajima Eriko, should we just end it here, leave Miyajima Eriko here, and rush home?

That definitely won't work either. One of the reasons I just mentioned is that he doesn't want to become impotent at such a young age.

In addition, there was another reason: when Konno Yuuka called, he wasn't the only one who was interrupted.

As the name suggests, partner sports require at least two people to participate; one person cannot participate alone.

So when he left, Eriko Miyajima was forced to stop as well.

If you can feed her well before you leave, that's fine, but if you can't feed her well, then you'll be in big trouble.

Asano Makoto's purpose in coming here was to explain to Miyajima Eriko that nothing would happen between him and Konno Yuuka during this period, to reassure her and not to be so unhappy, and that he would come back to be with her in a while.

But what would happen if he left halfway through what he was doing because of a phone call from Konno Yuuka? Asano Makoto didn't even want to think about it.

And as I just said, sex and love are inseparable.

In other words, as long as you express your love to her properly, you've done your job.

It won't take much time to talk. As long as I explain it clearly now, there won't be any problem even if Konno Yuuka calls me back.

With that in mind, Makoto Asano immediately made a decision.

Looking at Eriko Miyajima, whose eyes were glazed over and who was waiting for his embrace, he stepped forward and gently pulled her into his arms.

But that was all; he simply held Eriko Miyajima in his arms, but did nothing else.

After a while, Eriko Miyajima, who had been waiting for him to make his next move, realized something was wrong, and her eyes regained their clarity.

Chapter 269 This woman has feelings for A-Cheng

Eriko Miyajima realized something was wrong.

Because Makoto Asano had been holding her for quite a while, but hadn't done anything.

He neither pushed her down in the entryway, nor touched her clothes, nor even bent down to kiss her.

It would be even stranger if she still didn't realize the problem given all that had happened.

"...A-Cheng? What...what happened?"

Upon realizing the problem, Eriko Miyajima asked instinctively, her tone filled with confusion and a hint of urgency.

Makoto Asano hesitated for a moment before answering somewhat tentatively, "Um...it's nothing, it's just that I have to go back soon."

Eriko Miyajima was stunned.

Makoto Asano continued to hold her tightly in his arms, explaining, "As you know, Ms. Konno is still at my house, so..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entryway fell silent.

After a long while, Eriko Miyajima nodded silently: "Hmm... I understand, Makoto. It's okay, I understand."

You could tell from her voice that she had already moved past her emotional state.

Seeing that she wasn't in a good mood, Makoto Asano immediately comforted her, "Ms. Konno is only staying at my house temporarily. She might leave tonight, and I can come and keep you company tomorrow."

Eriko Miyajima was held quietly in his arms, listening to what he was saying without saying a word.

These words were effective.

It was this explanation, which consisted entirely of Asano Makoto's words without any evidence, that made Miyajima Eriko feel that Asano Makoto still cared about her and that she hadn't been abandoned.

So she did feel much more at ease.

However, she wasn't particularly enthusiastic, only nodding occasionally and saying "hmm" to indicate that she had heard.

This doesn't mean she doesn't care about these things; on the contrary, she cares about them very much.

She simply believed in Makoto Asano, believing that he was just too gentle to leave the injured Yuuka Konno unattended, which was why he went to comfort her.

As a woman herself, she certainly knows how vulnerable a woman is when she's been hurt by a scumbag.

However, she always believed that Makoto Asano was a very gentle person with principles.

Just like that stormy night in the hotel, when Makoto Asano confessed his feelings to her, but then took the initiative to break off their relationship, she was certain of this.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that she likes Makoto Asano, and that's exactly what she likes about these places.

So, could it be that the gentle A-Cheng would take advantage of someone's vulnerability and have something happen between him and the injured Ms. Konno?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Instead of worrying about these things, you should worry about whether Ms. Konno will develop feelings for Makoto and try to take him away from you!

Therefore, she has always trusted Makoto Asano about this matter.

Although she hadn't been very happy these past two days, it was only because Makoto Asano didn't have time to be by her side, and definitely not because Makoto Asano went to comfort Yuuka Konno.

This is one of the reasons why, although she felt much more relaxed after hearing Makoto Asano's explanation, she didn't seem very enthusiastic.

Besides, there is another reason.

That's her current state; she's filled with intense shame, making it impossible for her to think about anything else.

You should know that she had just mustered up a lot of courage to invite Makoto Asano to "dance together".

And what happened? Asano Makoto actually rejected her!

This was the first time she had been rejected. In the past, she didn't even have to say anything; Asano Makoto would take the initiative to grope her.

Even if Asano Makoto doesn't do anything, he will never refuse if she invites him.

But now? She was actually rejected!

If there's no invitation, or if the invitation is accepted, then it's fine; you can immerse yourself in the other person's affection and won't have the mind to think about those messy things.

But if you are rejected when you are attracted to someone, it is so shameful that once you regain your senses, you will keep thinking about it and you can't stop thinking about it.

This is actually the same as doing something stupid while drunk and then refusing to face reality when you wake up the next morning. It's just that this kind of thing puts a lot more effort into cultivating a sense of shame.

Therefore, at this moment, Eriko Miyajima wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

If she weren't currently being held by Makoto Asano, thus avoiding having to make eye contact with a certain idiot who didn't understand a girl's feelings and rejected her, she would have even wanted Makoto Asano to hurry home and take care of Yuuka Konno.

However, although she was too preoccupied with other things she was already quite at ease with because of this incident, Asano Makoto saw it differently.

He felt that the reason why Eriko Miyajima was not in a good mood was because she was still unhappy that he had left her alone next door to go and accompany Yuuka Konno, and even let her stay at his house.

After thinking about it, he felt it was necessary to explain the matter in detail.

"Eriko, don't worry. When Ms. Konno came over yesterday, I played games with her all morning, and then we went for a walk around town in the afternoon to help her relax. We parted ways in the evening. I really didn't do anything else. Oh, right, and her..."

Asano Makoto recounted, word by word, the events he and Konno Yuuka had done the day before, after some minor edits.

Aside from some unnecessary and unspeakable things, such as the massage and Konno Yuuka running into the wrong room in the middle of the night, he told Miyajima Eriko everything that happened yesterday, regardless of whether he had mentioned these things on his phone before.

There's only so much you can say on a phone, so it's really better to explain things face-to-face. After all, it won't hurt to say it again.

"Actually, yesterday, I didn't really want her to stay at my house. After all, it's not really appropriate for another woman to stay in the house of a single man like me, especially now that I have you. But..."

Asano Makoto continued, this time explaining why he had agreed to let Konno Yuuka stay at his house.

"But when I got home, I found her squatting at my door, and her face was so pale that she looked like she was about to faint. I had just come back from watching a movie, so it looked like she had been waiting for a long time."

"Then I remembered that when we parted yesterday evening, she told me that she was going to break up with her scumbag boyfriend, so she was sitting at my door at that time, probably because of that."

When they parted last night, Konno Yuuka didn't say what she was going to do, but Asano Makoto knew.

Before Konno Yuuka came to his place, he had guessed that she was probably going to break up with Shida Yoichi that night.

While watching the movie yesterday, when Konno Yuuka's stability value fluctuated wildly, the "Boyfriend" section in her information panel changed from "Shida Yoichi" to "None".

In addition, her information panel now includes a new section for "Affection Objects," which naturally includes "Asano Makoto," whose affection level has reached 71 points.

However, Makoto Asano would never tell Eriko Miyajima about this, and it wouldn't matter if it was Yuuka Konno who told him.

Asano Makoto's intention in saying these things was simply to explain why Konno Yuuka suddenly wanted to stay at his house, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.

However, to his surprise, after he said those words, Eriko Miyajima's expression suddenly changed.

She sensed something was amiss.

Although she was reluctant to think in that direction, what Ms. Konno had done was enough to explain everything.

During her most painful and helpless moment after the breakup, she chose to sit outside the door of a man who had only comforted her, even though she waited for a long time and no one came, and she didn't go home...

Although she had some doubts before, Eriko Miyajima is now completely certain.

This Ms. Konno has feelings for her A-Cheng.

Chapter 270 I'm waiting for you

Eriko Miyajima had many thoughts in her mind, and her expression changed constantly with these thoughts.

However, because Makoto Asano was still holding her in his arms, he didn't notice the change in her expression.

Makoto Asano, who was completely unaware of these events, continued to explain: "She looked very strange at the time, and I was a little worried that she might do something drastic. Besides, I couldn't just ignore her sitting at my door, and it was so cold at night, so I couldn't bear to see her stay outside any longer. Therefore, I invited her into my house to sit down."

"After I brought her home, I gave her something to eat and chatted with her. She seemed to be a little better."

"But it was already late by then, and I guess she felt it wasn't safe to go home at that time. She asked me if she could stay at my house for one night. I thought I'd help her to the end, and she didn't seem to have fully recovered, so I agreed to let her stay in the guest room."

The more he talked, the more certain Eriko Miyajima became.

Especially when Asano Makoto said that it was Konno Yuuka who offered to stay overnight, she became completely convinced that this Ms. Konno had feelings for her Makoto that went beyond friendship.

In an instant, a sense of crisis enveloped her heart.

If a beautiful woman like Ms. Konno were to actively pursue A-Cheng, then...

Eriko Miyajima still believes that Makoto Asano will not initiate anything between him and Yuuka Konno.
