Chapter 166
“Sis, why do you look so flustered?” Manatsu turned her head, her small brows furrowed. “Like in the cartoons, when the lady knight secretly kisses the princess’s prince.”
“Daddy doesn’t know either.” Minami Yuuki poked her cheek. “But more importantly, Daddy is curious—what kind of cartoons has Manatsu been watching?”
The little girl immediately became excited and started enthusiastically recommending her favorite show to her father.
At the entrance, Mayu opened the front door. It was Reina who had returned. She took the girl’s hand and walked with her into the living room.
The woman, now a wife and mother, had not changed in appearance, though a newfound maturity added to her charm. Her grace had evolved—from the slightly youthful elegance of a noble lady in a Taiga drama to the dignified presence of a queen.
“Mommy!” Manatsu threw herself into Reina’s embrace. “Today, Manatsu made egg tarts with Sis!”
“Oh? Were they good? Did you save one for me?” Reina asked, smiling as she picked up her daughter.
“Ah… I forgot to save one for Mommy. I’ll make some next time!” Manatsu looked at her mother apologetically.
“Then Mommy will be looking forward to it.” Reina put her daughter down, then glanced at her husband on the sofa and nudged the little girl. “Go play in the game room with Sis.”
