Makihisa Tohno narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Haru. Plain black t-shirt, gray slacks—clearly not someone of means.
Then, he looked at Aoi, her Yamato Nadeshiko aura captivating him. Seeing her gaze fixed on Haru, who had just made such an outrageous claim, Makihisa smirked.
'Trying to impress a woman with empty boasts—typical of a lovestruck fool. And what a waste of such a beauty. But did he really think he could use me as a stepping stone to win her affection? Not a chance.'
Makihisa scoffed, then turned to Akira Fujou, his eyes filled with annoyance. "Couldn't you find a more convincing—plant?"
Akira, seeing Makihisa's displeasure, his face hardened. He couldn't afford to lose this 'golden goose'.
"Kasugano-san," he said coldly, "I'm afraid I've already decided to entrust Kohaku and Hisui to Tohno-san's care."
"You're selling children! That's illegal!" Aoi's voice was sharp, her face a mask of anger.
"Oh, it's nothing like that. I'm their uncle, after all. It's just that Tohno-san is in a better position to provide for their future." Akira grinned, his expression a perfect image of avuncular concern.
Aoi's eyes narrowed. She hugged the twins tightly.
