My dear wife, I still love you more.

"...So, you already knew?" Mrs. Yukinoshita looked coldly at Yukinoshita Haruno sitting below her.

"Mom, I want to know, how exactly did things start between you and Hasegawa, and what happened to my father? I don't believe he died from an illness." Yukinoshita Haruno's expression was complicated, but a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. She raised her head, looked directly into her mother's eyes, and asked earnestly.

"Do you think that your father's death was caused by the discovery of my affair with Hasegawa?" Mrs. Yukinoshita immediately understood the meaning behind Yukinoshita Haruno's words.

"That's why I want to know the answer." Yukinoshita Haruno bit her lower lip, looking stubbornly at her mother.

"Since you want to know, that's fine. You are my daughter, and you have the right to know. The reason I didn't tell you before was simply because I felt it wasn't necessary."

“How could it be unnecessary? Even though I don’t particularly like him, he is still my father,” Yukino Yukinoshita said loudly.

"Is that so? It seems I've forgotten about that. But since that's the case, I'll tell you now. That guy has a mistress, and his mistress gave birth to a boy for him. Moreover, the boy takes his surname, the surname he had before he married into the Yukinoshita family."

After hearing what Mrs. Yukinoshita said, Yukinoshita Haruno couldn't help but frown. This kind of thing could be serious, but it wasn't a big problem either. After all, it was very common for men and women in high society to keep one, two, or even three or four lovers. Illegitimate children were not a rare occurrence.

“If it were just that, I wouldn’t care. Even if he were to pass on some things that originally belonged to the Yukinoshita family to his son, as long as it wasn’t too outrageous, I wouldn’t care that much. But he wants to hand over the entire Yukinoshita family to his son.” As she said this, Mrs. Yukinoshita gave a cold smile.

Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but widen her eyes, her face filled with disbelief: "No, that can't be, right?"

"Impossible? He's already taken action. In fact, in order to reduce the number of outsiders the Yukinoshita family has, he even hired someone to kill my sister's husband."

"What? Uncle, Uncle was killed by someone hired by my father?"

"So he died at my sister's hands. He deserved it."

"Is that so?" Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes were filled with confusion. She hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Her father, though he seemed a bit gloomy before, she never imagined he would do such a thing. He was killed by Hiratsuka's mother, but she was doing it for revenge. So, Yukinoshita Haruno didn't even know if she should hate Hiratsuka's mother.

"As for Hasegawa, it was actually Hasegawa who discovered this matter. After discovering his plot, Hasegawa came to stop him, but by then, Hasegawa was a step too late. That guy, Honekawa Suneo, had already drugged us."

"Drugged?" Yukino Yukinoshita was stunned, and then involuntarily began to think of what she had done to Hasegawa.

"That's right, it was that kind of drug, and a really potent one at that. He wanted to kill my sister and me in this humiliating way so that he could take control of the Yukinoshita family. It was Hasegawa who appeared, stopped him, and saved us."

Chapter 113 Confession?

Emerging from Mrs. Yukinoshita's room, Yukinoshita Haruno was completely stunned, her mother's words echoing in her mind.

Yukino Yukinoshita never dreamed that things would turn out this way. Hasegawa was actually her mother's savior, but the way he saved her life was something Yukino Yukino couldn't quite accept.

It turns out that the reason she and her mother were able to have close contact with Hasegawa was because of drugs, only the methods of administration were different.

Most importantly, her belly showed no signs of pregnancy, but her mother's belly was already carrying two more lives.

At this moment, Yukino even wished she could switch places with her mother. If it were her who was pregnant instead of her mother, then Hasegawa would already be her husband.

Furthermore, what Yukinoshita Haruno found somewhat unacceptable was that Hasegawa had saved more than one person when he rescued someone! Hiratsuka's mother, and even Hiratsuka Shizuka who later got involved.

Now Yukino finally understood why Hiratsuka Shizuka had that attitude when she heard Yukino say she wanted to compete fairly with Hiratsuka Shizuka for Hasegawa. It was as if Yukino had no chance of succeeding at all, and she even repeatedly told Yukino to go see her mother and see her mother's attitude. So that's what happened.

Yukinoshita felt like crying. If she had known things would turn out this way, she shouldn't have drugged Hasegawa in the first place. If she hadn't drugged him, things wouldn't be like this now. Yukinoshita was completely at a loss as to how to treat Hasegawa: lover? mistress? husband? or father?

Not long ago, Yukinoshita Haruno was thinking of drugging Hasegawa again to win him over, and even get pregnant so that she could control him and get him to marry her. But now, Yukinoshita Haruno has given up on that idea.

Even as dusk fell and Yukino Yukinoshita went home from school, Haruno Yukinoshita still seemed dazed.

"Sister? What's wrong? You seem a little off?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked when she saw Yukino Yukinoshita's appearance.

"Uh, no, nothing. I was just thinking about some things at the company." Yukinoshita Haruno subconsciously made up an excuse; she hadn't intended to tell her about her mother and Hasegawa. After all, Yukinoshita Haruno had absolutely no idea how to talk to her younger sister about this.

"Oh. Are your little brother and sister awake now?" Yukino Yukinoshita didn't pay much attention to what Haruno Yukinoshita said. She didn't understand or want to know about company matters, and besides, she adored her younger brother and sister. The first thing she wanted to do when she got home was to hug them. Yukino Yukinoshita was completely captivated by her two incredibly cute siblings, and even at school, she often thought about them.

Yukino Yukinoshita even considered making bracelets or other accessories for her younger siblings to wear, replacing the Mr. Pan accessories she was wearing.

"Younger brother and sister? They, they should be awake, right?" When Yukino Yukinoshita asked about the younger brother and sister, she immediately thought of their true identities and of Hasegawa.

"It's so good that you're awake." Yukino Yukinoshita smiled happily and headed straight for her younger brother and sister's room.

Seeing Yukino Yukinoshita like this, Haruno Yukinoshita wanted to say something to her, but couldn't bring herself to say it. In the end, she could only look at Yukino Yukinoshita's figure and then give a bitter smile.

……

Hiratsuka's mother leaned against Hasegawa's chest, her fingers tracing circles on Hasegawa's chest.

"Hasegawa, now that Haruno knows the truth, all that's missing is Yukino. I think we should tell Yukino the news too, so they all know you're the children's father. That way, it will be much easier for you to visit the children or do other things, and you won't have any worries. You could even have the children call you 'Dad,' as long as you don't do it in public." Hiratsuka's mother suggested this to Hasegawa.

Hasegawa was somewhat tempted by these words, but couldn't help rolling his eyes. Was this something he could just casually tell anyone? Especially Yukino Yukinoshita.

Yukino Yukinoshita was just a high school student back then—oh, now she's a university student. But this kind of thing is still a bit too much of a burden for her, especially considering she still has some feelings for Hasegawa.

"What? You're not planning to acknowledge your two children?"

"Of course I want to admit it, but this kind of thing—never mind, let's hold off for now." Hasegawa shook his head, but he was thinking about how to handle the matter.

Before the children were born, Hasegawa didn't have any strong feelings about it. But now that the children are born and are so cute, Hasegawa has a stronger idea: to adopt the two children and let them call him "Dad" when they are able to speak.

"Whatever, you're the father of those two children anyway." Hiratsuka's mother said with a smile, then flipped over again: "Hasegawa, today I'm going to be a knight."

……

After saying goodbye to his mother, Hiratsuka, Hasegawa returned to his home.

"Hasegawa, I want to eat Baumkuchen!" Shiina Mashiro immediately came up to Hasegawa as soon as he returned, grabbing his arm and saying.

"A Baumkuchen. I don't think we have any left at home. I'm sorry, I forgot to prepare one. Just a moment, I'll go make one for you right away," Hasegawa said apologetically to Shiina Mashiro.

"Okay." Shiina Mashiro nodded obediently.

However, Chiyuki Sengoku, who was in the living room, glanced at Hasegawa and said, "Hasegawa, I'm telling you, why are you always running around lately? And you're so focused on cooking for Mrs. Yukinoshita. If you didn't know better, you'd think Mrs. Yukinoshita's child was yours. Look how much you're worried about it."

Sengoku Chiyu was just saying it casually, but after hearing Sengoku Chiyu's words, Hasegawa couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, realizing that she had hit the nail on the head.

"Teacher Chiyu, you can't just say things like that." Hasegawa's acting skills kicked in, and he said it calmly.

"Uh, yes, yes, it's my fault, it's my fault. I shouldn't have said that." Sengoku Chiyu scratched her head and laughed.

I haven't been feeling well lately, so I'm asking the author to get back into the swing of things.

Chapter 114 Yoga

"Sister, what's wrong with you lately? You seem a bit strange." Yukino Yukinoshita carefully held her younger brother, but stared blankly at Yukino Haruno holding her sister, who was even crying. Yukino Haruno barely came to her senses and couldn't help but ask Yukino Haruno.

"Huh? No, nothing. Why are you crying? Are you hungry?" Yukinoshita Haruno was woken up and found her younger sister crying in her arms. She quickly and carefully comforted her.

At this moment, a servant came to take care of the child and took the child from Yukinoshita Haruno's arms.

"Sister, are you really alright?" Yukino Yukinoshita frowned and asked, looking at Yukino Yukinoshita in her current state.

"No, what could be wrong? It's just that there's been so much going on at the company lately, so I can't help but think about things there sometimes. Well, I'll head over to the company now," Yukinoshita Haruno explained with a smile and a shake of her head.

"Oh, I see. Sister, you should rest a bit and not overwork yourself."

"I'll learn from Yukino's concern; I'll pay attention." Seeing Yukino's caring attitude, Haruno felt a little comforted: "Yukino—"

"What's wrong, sister?"

"Um, I wanted to ask you, what do you think of Hasegawa, what do you think of him, um, how is he?" Yukinoshita asked hesitantly.

"Huh? Sister, why are you suddenly asking this? Hasegawa? That Hasegawa guy is a bastard, a piece of scum!" Yukino Yukinoshita's expression changed, and she said it with a look of disdain.

"Yukino, that's what you think." Yukinoshita Haruno nodded. "So, you... you don't have any feelings for Hasegawa anymore, right?"

"Huh? Sister, why, why are you suddenly saying this?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Haruno Yukinoshita, her heart skipping a beat.

This is the umpteenth time. Her attitude towards Hasegawa keeps shifting. First she supported them, then she opposed them, then she agreed to their relationship, even offering help, and now it seems she's going to oppose it again. Yukino Yukinoshita is completely baffled by her sister's actions.

"Um, I... I just feel that Hasegawa... he doesn't seem to be a good match for you, little sister—"

"Sister, stop talking. Whether it's suitable or not is my business. Alright, sister, aren't you busy with company matters? Then hurry up and go." Yukino Yukinoshita interrupted Yukino Haruno, her tone tinged with displeasure.

Seeing Yukino's expression, Yukino couldn't help but smile bitterly. She knew her repeated actions were a bit excessive, but she had only just found out herself—that Hasegawa and their mother had an affair, and now they even had a child. What was she supposed to do? Turn a blind eye? Or try to bring Hasegawa and her sister together? Besides, even Yukino herself had a kind of longing for Hasegawa, dreaming about him constantly, to the point that she had to change her panties every morning. What was she supposed to do in this situation?

Things wouldn't have been so complicated if their mothers hadn't gotten involved.

After Yukino left, Yukino sighed. She had no idea what her older sister was trying to do.

"Little brother, tell me, what is your sister doing? She's so unpredictable, I have no idea what she's thinking. But, little brother is so much better, he's so cute." Yukino Yukinoshita smiled as she looked at her little brother in her arms. Of the twins, Yukino Yukinoshita preferred the little brother. She always thought he was incredibly cute, even though her sister was also very cute, she still loved her brother more from the bottom of her heart.

“Little brother, you’re so cute. When you grow up, you’ll definitely be just like Hasegawa—Hasegawa?” Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly paused. She had just subconsciously mentioned Hasegawa, and then, looking down little by little, she saw her little brother in her arms.

Yukino Yukinoshita had always thought her younger brother was incredibly cute, even feeling a sense of familiarity, and she adored him. But then she thought about Hasegawa's face, and then looked at her brother's little face. Aside from his youthful appearance, he was undeniably adorable, but in reality, they were probably cut from the same mold.

"No, that's not right. My brother, my brother should, should look like Dad, how, how could he look like Hasegawa?" Yukino Yukinoshita became a little dazed, as if she had vaguely discovered some truth.

Of course, Yukino Yukinoshita absolutely did not believe such a thing, even though her younger brother looked so much like Hasegawa. Yukino Yukinoshita still did not want to believe it, and she preferred to find other answers.

Actually, whether or not she answered, Yukino Yukinoshita already had a pretty good idea in her mind. She even understood why her sister's attitude had suddenly changed again.

However, no matter what, Yukino Yukinoshita was unwilling to believe this outcome.

……

"Hasegawa-kun, you've arrived." Mrs. Yuihama looked at Hasegawa with a happy expression.

"Madam." Seeing Mrs. Yuihama's joyful face, Hasegawa felt all the pressure in his heart disappear. Only in Mrs. Yuihama's presence could Hasegawa feel completely relaxed.

"Hasegawa, you're here." Sawamura Sayuri ran over happily and jumped into Hasegawa's arms. "Hasegawa, you haven't come for so long. I thought you had forgotten about us."

"No, I've just been a bit busy lately." Hasegawa gently patted Sawamura Sayuri in his arms.

"Busy because of Yukinoshita-san giving birth, right? Hasegawa, you really are amazing. You even managed to win over Yukinoshita-san." Sawamura Sayuri said with a teasing smile.

"Um, this, what's wrong?" Hasegawa frowned, not looking at the smug-looking Sayuri Sawamura.

“How do I know, right? Hehehe, with my discerning eye, how could I not see something like this? And it’s not just Mrs. Yukinoshita, right? There’s also Mrs. Hiratsuka…” Sawamura Sayuri smiled slyly. “As expected of Hasegawa, he’s managed to win them over.”

"Uh, how do you know everything?"

"Hehehe, that's because I'm good! Hasegawa, how are those sisters? Do they serve you comfortably? How do they compare to me and Yuihama-neechan?" Sawamura Sayuri asked with a curious look.

"Um, well, why are you asking this, Sayuri?" Hasegawa felt a little embarrassed.

"Hehehe, Hasegawa, you're still embarrassed? We're practically an old married couple. What positions haven't we tried? Why are you shy? Come on, let's try some new positions today. Tell us, what positions do Mrs. Yukinoshita and Mrs. Hiratsuka usually use? We'll imitate them and learn from their experience." Sawamura Sayuri looked like a seasoned pro.

Mrs. Yuihama listened with a blush, but she usually wouldn't object to such things. Whatever position Hasegawa wanted to use, as long as she could do it, she would cooperate completely with Hasegawa.

The positions that Mrs. Yuihama was more often explored with were mostly when she was with Sayuri Sawamura.

Sometimes, Mrs. Yuigahama wondered why Sayuri Sawamura could come up with so many strange and unusual positions. Whenever Mrs. Yuigahama couldn't help but ask, Sayuri Sawamura's answer was always, "Well, what can I do? I have a daughter who's a doujinshi artist." With just that one sentence, Sayuri Sawamura shifted all the blame onto her daughter.

……

Hearing the noises outside, Eriri blushed and buried herself in the blanket. However, the blanket was quietly opened a crack, and a red ear peeked out, listening for any sounds it could hear.

Eriri has been staying here recently.
