"A SON?" Ren's eyes grow wide, popping out of the sockets. "Rie Chan has a son?"
Takeshi gives him a solemn nod. "Brother left with Yuta. I don't know where they are, but I am sure that my brother will come back with her and Yuta."
"Yuta..." Ren mumbles the name, too shocked to say anything else. Rie already has a son. Are they growing too old? Oh! She's married to Kiyohira too. It's not odd that she will have a son. Is he an uncle already?
Then, that call earlier from Kiyohira? Ren finally gets the idea of the situation. He hopes that they are together now.
"What does he look like?" Ren asks curiously. "My best friend's child must be smart."
"He's a prodigy." Takeshi scratches his nose. The boy is so young, but he already has mastery over other languages. His bearing is also different. "He must be a genius."
"A genius." Ren blinks hard. Why is this not surprising? "He inherited Rie's genius."
Takeshi narrows his eyes on him. "Why can't it be my brother's genius?"
Ren snickers and asks, "Do you think that Kiyohira is a genius?"
Takeshi purses his lips. He can't say much about his brother's commen sense. There are questions that are better left unanswered. He doesn't want to insult his brother. He defends Kiyohira "He was always top in the class. He is also gifted with music. Also, there's no one like him when it comes to the business world. So, yes, he's a genius."
"Maybe Yuta inherited from both sides." Ren gives in partially. Both Rie and Kiyohira are his friends, but he will always support Rie more. It's the fellow gamer's pride. She's also his first love. "By the way, can't you track your brother and find out where he is? I don't think that I can wait longer. I want to meet my nephew and my friend."
Takeshi scowls at him. "They are meeting after a long time. Why should I track them down and let you know where they are? Get out if you aren't going to help. I am going to sleep. I have to wake up early tomorrow."
Since his brother is gone, all the responsibilities will be on him. Though it's not like the time when his brother fell in the coma after the fire at the Kamiyama mansion, he still doesn't know how his brother handled the Kamiyama Group with ease. The employees find his brother more reliable than him. It's the same for him.
He is also wishing that his brother would come back soon. But he also doesn't want to fail his brother. He will do his best.
"You used to be nice before." Ren makes a face. Honestly, he doesn't want to go back. There's a crazy s.u.c.c.u.b.u.s in his apartment building. But it's already late. After what he did to her, she will probably stay away from him. "Don't worry. I don't need your help to track Kiyohira down."
Takeshi shakes his head at him. "Do whatever you want. Keep me out of it."
After 5 years, his brother would like to spend some quality time with Sister-in-law and Yuta.
"Sure, Sure." Ren waves his hands as he walks away from him. Is this boy really Kamiyama Kiyohira's brother? He's too decent.
Outside the villa, cold wind slams against his face. But his face isn't burning up like before. He trembles in cold -- no coat. He recalls where he left his coat.
"Tsk! Tsk! What's wrong with girls these days? She better not appear before me again. I will complain about s.e.x.u.a.l harassment if she does something like that again."
He arrives at the apartment building. He climbs up the stairs. Rie Chan has a son. He wonders how Yuta looks like. He has one more buddy now. He can't wait to meet his friend and her son again. Kiyohira and Rie chan probably resolved their differences. He wonders what they are doing now.
"Mhmmhmhmhmhmhm!"
Dressed in a cowboy's clothes, Nina smiles darkly with a victorious look in her eyes when she hears his muffles. "I dated a cowboy. He taught me some useful skills."
Pale, Ren tries to break the ropes, but it's too tight. She chuckles and winks. "I have never met a man like you. I can't wait to get to know you more."
