Chapter 28 - 27: Haruno’s Debt
After finalizing the arrangements for the evening banquet, Yukio snuggled up with Roland again, holding him close until bedtime.
When the time came, she reluctantly returned Roland to her daughter. After all, she couldn’t possibly drag him into her bedroom for the night, could she?
She certainly wanted to. With Little Roland by her side, she wouldn’t have to worry about nightmares.
But Haruno was now guarding him like a precious treasure, determined not to let her mother take him.
Even Yukio herself couldn’t predict what their relationship would become if Roland actually ended up in her bed.
Don’t be fooled by her constant talk about tightening her boundaries and maintaining a distance from Roland.
In reality, when had she ever succeeded in keeping her words?
Every time, she swore it would be the last.
Clearly, whenever she felt the need to tighten her boundaries, it meant she had already trampled them into dust...
"It’s getting late, Little Roland. You don’t need to stay with me any longer. Go back to your room with Haruno—it’s time for you young people now." Yukio reluctantly released Roland’s hand.
Though deeply unwilling, Roland was, after all, ostensibly Haruno’s husband. She had to give her daughter some time with him. Otherwise her daughter might do something that may have irreversible consequences.
