My dear wife, I still love you more.

"Help? What help? If I can do it." Hasegawa was essentially making a promise to Hiratsuka's mother.

"Actually, it's also because of this car. Although I've been practicing driving for quite a while recently, I wasn't practicing in this car. So now that I've switched to this car, I've started to notice some problems." Hiratsuka's mother casually changed the subject.

"What's the problem?" Hasegawa looked at the car he was sitting in with a bit of curiosity. This car was driven by Hiratsuka's mother, so its class was naturally beyond question. Hasegawa himself didn't know much about this kind of car.

"I mainly want to know how well this car's shock absorption works, whether the speed is fast enough, and how wide the turns are, etc. And these are things I really can't do by myself. So Hasegawa, please help me." Hiratsuka's mother's eyes became burning and bold as she looked at Hasegawa.

Chapter 110 Hiratsuka Shizuka's Dilemma

"What, what—" Yukino Yukinoshita looked at her younger brother with a bewildered expression, her eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Mrs. Yukinoshita gave birth seven days ago.

In seven days, the wrinkles on Mrs. Yukinoshita's two children had almost faded, and they looked very plump and cute. Their appearances had also grown up. Just like her daughter, although she was still an infant, she looked very similar to Mrs. Yukinoshita, Yukinoshita Haruno, and even Yukinoshita Yukino. You could tell at a glance that she was their child by blood.

But, but, son, son's appearance is a little, a little—

Her son didn't resemble Mrs. Yukinoshita much, but of course, if that were all, Yukinoshita Haruno wouldn't mind, since her son might look more like his father. However, in Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes, her younger brother bore a striking resemblance to Hasegawa, perhaps only six-tenths, possibly because he was too young and hadn't truly grown up. Perhaps when the child grew up, he would resemble Hasegawa nine-tenths.

If we disregard other factors, the fact that my younger brother looks like Hasegawa means he'll grow up to be a handsome guy just like Hasegawa. But, but, that's not right!

Why does my younger brother, born to my mother, look so much like Hasegawa? This shouldn't be! Even if my brother were to resemble someone, he should look more like my father, not Hasegawa! Could it be—

A bad premonition crept into her heart, and it was very strong. However, Yukinoshita Haruno didn't even dare to think about such a possibility. After all, if things were really like that, it would be too cruel for her—not just a little cruel, but extremely cruel!

Although Yukino Yukinoshita herself didn't want to believe this fact, the more you try not to think about it, the more you will think about it involuntarily, to the point that Yukino Yukinoshita's mind was completely muddled.

"Sister, what are you doing? Your little brother is crying. Is he hungry?" Yukino Yukinoshita called out to Haruno Yukinoshita when she saw her sister staring blankly into space.

"Huh? Uh, oh." Yukinoshita Haruno snapped out of her daze and gave her younger sister an embarrassed smile to hide her embarrassment. However, this incident felt like a thorn in her heart, making her feel unbearably uncomfortable.

The best course of action right now is to ask Hasegawa; perhaps that will lead to the truth. However, Yukinoshita Haruno is afraid to seek the truth. Subconsciously, she fears the truth, because if it's true, things will become very bad, perhaps even spiraling out of control.

Holding the bottle, she carefully fed her younger brother, watching his little hands clutching the bottle and gulping it down. A smile appeared on Yukino's face; all those chaotic thoughts from before had been cast aside. Why think so much? The more you think, the more upset you become, and in the end, you're the one who suffers.

"My younger brother and sister are really cute." Yukino Yukinoshita smiled as she looked at her younger siblings. "But they both have really good appetites. Even though Mom has plenty of milk, it's not enough for them."

“They’re growing faster, so they need more nutrition,” Yukino Yukinoshita smiled. She had specifically looked it up and even asked a doctor. The two little ones were very healthy, but their growth rate was faster than other children, so they needed more nutrition. Although Mrs. Yukinoshita had plenty of breast milk, it wasn’t enough to provide enough nutrition for the two children.

"Yes, they're so cute. The two of them. Hasegawa is a very good cook, and he seems to know a lot about nutritious meals. Let him cook more nutritious food for Mom, so that Mom will have more nutrition and her breast milk will be more nutritious." Yukino Yukinoshita said with a smile.

“Hasegawa—yes. His cooking skills are indeed very good.” Yukinoshita Haruno nodded with a smile, but as she turned around, she subconsciously bit her lower lip, and her eyes became complicated.

"Sister, my brother and sister are really cute. And I always feel that the younger brother is more handsome. He even looks a little familiar. Uh, hehe, I misspoke. After all, he is our younger brother, so it's normal for him to look familiar." Yukino Yukinoshita scratched her head and smiled shyly.

Because she had watched her younger siblings grow up little by little, Yukino Yukinoshita didn't think too much about complicated things, or rather, at this moment, she didn't think about that relationship.

Yukino's lips twitched twice; she didn't know how to respond to Yukino's words.

……

"Hasegawa, when are you planning to go to Yukinoshita's house?" Hiratsuka Shizuka leaned against the door frame, watching Hasegawa cook in the kitchen.

"Um, this——"

"What? You're too scared to go, or you don't want to take responsibility? Hasegawa, you should know that those two little ones are your children. As their father, you don't want to acknowledge them, do you?" Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Hasegawa with a mocking smile.

"No, no, I really want to acknowledge them, but, but they, they—" Hasegawa gave a bitter smile. He received photos of the two children from Mrs. Yukinoshita. The daughter was fine, since she looked a lot like Mrs. Yukinoshita, but the son... Hasegawa noticed he was looking more and more like him. If he went to the Yukinoshita family now, he feared the Yukinoshita sisters might notice something.

Well, Hasegawa thought that even if he didn't go, the Yukinoshita sisters might figure something out. However, if he didn't get involved, there might still be room for maneuver, but if he really did get involved, things would most likely be exposed.

"Tch, not a man!" Hiratsuka Shizuka curled her lip, her face full of disdain.

Listening to Hiratsuka Shizuka's words, Hasegawa felt helpless. If he could, he wouldn't want to be like this either, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"Alright, hurry up and cook. Once the food is ready, I'll deliver it over there. Honestly, don't you think it's too much to ask me to be your errand boy?" Hiratsuka Shizuka pouted, seemingly very unhappy as she spoke.

"Actually, you didn't have to come. Your mother said she could—"

"Her? Did you send her here to run errands and deliver food, or to do 'that' with you?" Hiratsuka Shizuka sneered, a hint of annoyance flashing across her face. She harbored resentment towards Hasegawa and her mother's disgraceful relationship. This made Hiratsuka Shizuka extremely unhappy, so she intervened this time, depriving her mother of one of her daily excuses to find Hasegawa.

Hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka's words, and recalling how Hiratsuka's mother used to exploit Hasegawa several times a day before Shizuka took on this task, Hasegawa felt somewhat embarrassed now that Shizuka had brought it up.

"Hasegawa, I just find it strange. Why do you like older women? Compared to my mother, I'm definitely better than her, right? After all, I'm older than her, and in every way, I should be more suitable for you. Why are you willing to have this kind of thing with my mother, but you seem to avoid me like the plague?" Hiratsuka Shizuka finally couldn't help but ask. She had been curious about this for a long time. She really wanted an answer from Hasegawa.

"Well, Sister Jing, actually, it's not like that at all. I, I just—"

"Just what? Mrs. Yuihama, Sayuri Sawamura, my mother, and even Aunt Yukinoshita. Four of them, all of them are much older than you, and they are all mothers—uh, Hasegawa, you wouldn't be into this because they are mothers themselves, so you—Hasegawa, your tastes are truly disgusting." Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Hasegawa with the eyes of someone looking at trash.

"No, it's not what you think. I'm more passive than anything else. Apart from the case of Mrs. Yuihama, whom I genuinely like and therefore take the initiative to pursue, I'm always passive in other situations," Hasegawa said with a wry smile.

"You're passive?" Hiratsuka Shizuka still looked at Hasegawa with disdain, but in her heart she was thinking about what Hasegawa said about being passive. It seemed that things were really like that.

"It was all due to uncontrollable factors that things turned out this way. I initially wanted to treat it as an accident, but... but later—"

Although Hasegawa didn't continue speaking after that point, Hiratsuka Shizuka already roughly understood what was going on.

Indeed, it was an accident involving her, her mother, and Mrs. Yukinoshita. After that accident, Hasegawa seemed to act as if nothing had happened, and didn't even contact them. But later, it seemed her mother couldn't hold back anymore, so was it actually her mother who took the initiative?

His own mother, Mrs. Yukinoshita, and even Sayuri Sawamura. Were they all proactive?

"Hmph! They take the initiative, so why don't you refuse? In the end, it's because you're shameless, you're lusting after their bodies." Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't want to reason with anyone at this point.

"Yes, yes, I'm despicable. I just lust after their bodies. It's all my fault. But what can I do now that things have come to this?" Hasegawa spread his hands, speaking with a sense of helplessness.

"Tch! You talk like you're so innocent. If you hadn't reacted to their bodies, would things have turned out this way?"

"Sorry, I really can't do that." Hasegawa rolled his eyes. It's not like he's incapable of acting on his body's instincts, and Mrs. Yukinoshita and Mrs. Hiratsuka are indeed very tempting, okay? How could Hasegawa not react?

"Tch, you're just despicable, what excuse are you making?" Hiratsuka Shizuka sneered again.

Watching Hasegawa bustling about in the kitchen, meticulously preparing various nutritious meals, Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but think he was incredibly handsome, even knowing he was a scumbag and that her mother was among his women. She was still irresistibly drawn to him; after all, he was just too handsome to resist.

"Perhaps, if I take the initiative, I might be able to win over Hasegawa. After all, Hasegawa was won over by his own mother and others who took the initiative." Hiratsuka Shizuka leaned against the door frame, watching Hasegawa's back, and thought to herself.

However, as soon as Hiratsuka Shizuka realized what she was thinking, she immediately shook off the thought. At the same time, she felt extremely ashamed that a woman would have such thoughts.

However, Hiratsuka Shizuka then felt that it didn't seem like a big deal. After all, it wasn't the first time for her and Hasegawa. They had already had a relationship once, so it didn't seem reasonable to have a second one.

Then Hiratsuka Shizuka banished the thought, and if she weren't standing right behind Hasegawa, she would have slapped herself to bring herself back to reality.

A few minutes later, Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but let her mind wander again: Why can't I do it? Why can others do it but I can't? Look at my mother, she's been so happy lately, her face is always smiling, it seems like she's so happy she wakes up laughing in her sleep, her complexion is so good, she looks so smug.

Why can everyone else, even her own mother, have such a successful life, but she can't?

No, no, why would I think like that? Hasegawa is a scumbag. He's cheating on several women, including my mother and Aunt Yukinoshita. They're all my elders. How could I, as a junior, have such thoughts?

But Hasegawa is such a rare, very, very charming man. Is it really okay for me to give up on such a charming man? Especially since I've already given him my first time. Is it too, too unwilling to give up now? Why should my first time be ignored like this?

But, but, Hasegawa is really a scumbag. Besides his mother and Aunt Yukinoshita, he has other women. Who knows how many women Hasegawa will end up with?

Chapter 111 Supplementing Nutrition

In the end, Hasegawa still went to Yukinoshita's house with Hiratsuka Shizuka.

After thinking it over, Hasegawa realized that some things still needed to be faced eventually. Besides, as a father, he really wanted to see and hold his son and daughter. Having left them unattended for so many days, Hasegawa missed them terribly.

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Hasegawa sitting in the passenger seat, her eyes slightly narrowed.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you thinking about? Look ahead, watch where you're going, don't close your eyes." Hasegawa noticed Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes and quickly reminded her.

Hiratsuka Shizuka rolled her eyes. "I didn't close my eyes. But Hasegawa, have you thought about what you're going to do? What are you going to do about this brother and sister? Keep denying it, see them occasionally, or—"

"I... I'm not really sure either. I'll just have to take it one step at a time. I'm quite troubled right now." Hasegawa gave a wry smile. "Of course I want to acknowledge them. After all, they are my children. But, but, you know—Mrs. Yukinoshita probably won't agree to me doing this."

"Disagree? Aren't you pretty good at dealing with women? You can handle so many of them all by yourself without any problems. Why don't you try persuading Aunt Yukinoshita in bed?" Shizuka Hiratsuka blurted out, pursing her lips.

Hasegawa was taken aback by what he heard, and he even began to consider how likely the possibility of what Hiratsuka Shizuka had mentioned was. However, things were not so simple to decide, and many aspects had to be considered. Even Mrs. Yukinoshita herself could not make a hasty decision about Hasegawa acknowledging her child, because there were simply too many factors to consider.

"Hasegawa, you don't actually want to seduce Aunt Yukinoshita, do you?" Hiratsuka Shizuka noticed that Hasegawa seemed to be seriously considering what she had said, and couldn't help but chuckle a little. Well, making the best of a bad situation.

"No. If things could be solved so easily, would I need to worry?" Hasegawa shook his head.

"So you're saying you actually considered this idea?"

"..."

"Hmph, scumbag!" Hiratsuka Shizuka snorted coldly, once again labeling Hasegawa a scumbag. At the same time, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt uneasy. Hasegawa was such a scumbag, so why did he let her off the hook, even letting her mother be a scumbag? Was she, Hiratsuka Shizuka, really that bad? So bad that even scumbags wouldn't treat her like a scumbag?

Hiratsuka Shizuka's attitude change seemed a bit inexplicable, but Hasegawa wasn't in the mood to think about anything else right now. He was about to see his children again and even hold them in his arms. Hasegawa wasn't thinking about anything else at the moment.

Seeing Hasegawa like this, Hiratsuka felt even more resentful. She even had the urge to pin Hasegawa down in the passenger seat and do *that* to him, but she remained rational and didn't actually put those thoughts into action.

……

"Hasegawa, you're here." Yukinoshita greeted Hasegawa with a smile, as if she hadn't noticed anything unusual.

"Yes, I'm here, Haruno." Hasegawa breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing Haruno's condition. "Where are your younger brother and sister now?"

"They were just making a fuss, they should be asleep by now." Yukinoshita asked about the two children as soon as Hasegawa arrived, her apprehension deepening, but she didn't show it. At least she didn't let Hasegawa notice anything.

"Um, can I go see them?" Hasegawa asked cautiously. Although Hasegawa knew that asking such a question might reveal something, a major reason he came here was to see the two children.

“Of course, come with me.” Yukinoshita Haruno still smiled: “Hasegawa, you seem to really like those two.”

"Um, yes, I prefer children." Hasegawa nodded quickly.

"Since you like children so much, Hasegawa, have you ever thought about having one or two children yourself?"

"Well, well, I think this is a bit too early for me. Let's wait, let's wait a little longer."

"Too early? Hasegawa, do you really think so?"

"Yes! Really!"

Yukino Yukinoshita led Hasegawa on a walk, chatting casually, but her words always seemed to carry a hint of deeper meaning, or perhaps she was trying to test something.

……

Looking at the two sleeping children, Hasegawa couldn't help but smile. In Hasegawa's eyes, the two children were so cute, so incredibly cute, that they were probably the cutest children in the world.

"They truly are my son and daughter!" Hasegawa murmured to himself.

"You? Hasegawa, what are you saying?" Yukinoshita Haruno seemed not to have heard Hasegawa's words.

"Uh, no, nothing. I just meant that these two kids are really cute," Hasegawa quickly said.

"Yes, these two children are really adorable, I like them very much." Yukinoshita Haruno smiled as she looked at the two children, but her eyes couldn't help but become a little complicated.

"Hasegawa!" Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly called out to Hasegawa.

"Hmm?" Hasegawa turned to look at Yukinoshita.

"Hasegawa, since you like them so much, how about you adopt them as your son and daughter?" Yukinoshita Haruno said with a smile to Hasegawa.
