"Dumb."
Kiyohira turns his head to look at the woman standing beside him. He didn't notice when she woke up and walked to him. He can't even tell how long she has been watching the video along side him. Her eyes are still on the frozen Chisa on his phone's screen.
"She really lost her brains." Rie's lips curl up into a smile. She's holding the blanket around her body with her hands. Her shoulders are hunched. The mirth in those dark eyes shakes him a little. He smiles unconsciously. His wife has changed.
"Takeuchi Seiji dissolved the adoption already," She murmurs absentmindedly. Takeuchi Seiji might have been her father once. Kamiyama Hitomi might have been her mother once. She was never their daughter. "We aren't even blood-related."
"Desperate people will use anything." He puts away the phone. Rie's calm response has surprised him. He doesn't know how he expected her to react, but it might not be this calm. "You didn't wake up when I tried to wake you up."
"Chisa's voice is more effective." She stumbles on her step. He catches her. Her nether regions are aching. She looks at him grudgingly. "Did you have to f.u.c.k me that much?"
"Who was the one who screamed 'more' and 'faster'?" Kiyohira takes her to the bed. "I intend to continue after dinner. Tomorrow, there's so much work."
She purses her lips. This guy would never say 'f.u.c.k' before. Now, he says it nonchalantly as if asking for afternoon tea. "By the way, what do you eat? How come you are not tired?"
"Eating you can never make me tired." He places her on the bed. He puts the tray between them. She watches him bone the fish intently. Nobody has done this for her before.
"You don't worry about the reputation of Kamiyama family like before." She squints at him, wanting to see any change in his expression. Chisa's words must bother this guy. Two years ago, he wreaked havoc because of that scandal. The adoption might have been dissolved, but things can't be that simple. She was his step-sister once.
"There are things more important than reputation." He takes the spoon near her mouth. He is gazing at her tenderly. Wife is always testing him. That's good. It means that she's interested in him. Let's feed her first. Then, exercise later and...
"You didn't use a c.o.n.d.o.m this time either." Rie scowls at him. "You never change, Kiyohira. Does it hurt to buy c.o.n.d.o.ms when you have a woman in your bedroom?"
"..." She knows exactly what to say to render him speechless.
She takes the spoon from his frozen hand and shoves it in her mouth. She quietly finishes the food and mumbles, "It's also my fault for not thinking of this outcome. I will get those pills tomorrow. I hope that you didn't get me pregnant today again."
"You don't want to become pregnant with my child?" Ever again? He stares hard at her. They are already married. He loves her. She likes him in bed at least.
She shrugs once. "I don't want to have children."
"Why?" Is it related to the loss of the first child?
"I don't think that I can..." She becomes quiet, gazing into the distance. "I want to sleep."
"Answer my question." He places his finger on her cheek and turns her face toward him. "Why don't you want?"
She sighs and says, "I don't even want to remain married to you. My decision is same, Kiyohira. You will know in the future why."
