Chapter 52
【A week later, you showed no intention of getting a divorce.】
【Asano Nao reminded you, but you said you were too busy recently and that the divorce procedures were too complicated. Besides, marriage wasn’t that big of a deal, so you continued your marriage.】
【At first, Asano Nao was a bit worried, but when she found that married life hadn’t changed much and she didn’t have to face any responsibilities or expectations, she gradually relaxed.】
【After graduating from sixth grade, Miu was admitted to a city middle school. Every morning, you drove her to school and picked her up in the afternoon.】
【Before the start of middle school, you changed Miu’s surname. From then on, she was no longer Yumemi Miu, but Minami Miu.】
【After Miu started school, she joined the school’s classical music club and would only come home in the evening. You told Asano Nao that since there was no one to help you with the convenience store anymore, why not have another child?】
【Asano Nao couldn’t refuse your small request. After all, you only wanted a child to help manage the convenience store. How could she not fulfill that for you?】
【The following year, Asano Nao gave birth to a younger sister for Miu, and you named her Rikka. After Rikka was born, Asano Nao was a bit anxious and restless. You understood that your wife was feeling emotional pressure regarding Rikka.】
【You deliberately talked in front of Rikka about how unreliable her mother was, letting Asano Nao overhear. At first, Asano Nao was tormented by this, not wanting her daughter to have a bad image of her. Gradually, she got used to it and stopped worrying about Rikka’s expectations and dependence on her. The mental pressure disappeared, and her emotions returned to normal.】
