Chapter 107: Chapter 96: Sister Reiko, Is Everything Okay? (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_3

The sense of unreality was so overwhelming that Reiko Onodera hadn't even reacted yet.

"Mom."

It wasn't until Rika Onodera sweetly called out that Mrs. Onodera finally snapped out of it, instantly choking up.

She covered her mouth with her hand as if she was gasping for breath, and her reddening eyes seemed to twinkle with tears,

"Ri, Rika."

"Mom, I came to Tokyo to celebrate your birthday with you!!"

Rika Onodera ran over and hugged Reiko Onodera tightly.

Mrs. Onodera wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, squatted down, and hugged her daughter tightly,

"Rika, Mommy missed you so much."

Mrs. Onodera, always having a soft heart, found it hard to hold back her emotions after being separated from her daughter for such a long time and finally seeing her again.

Watching this scene, Haruka Yuzan standing off to the side also couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Destined to face hardships, this mother and daughter, if placed in the East, would surely be the case of a single-parent family plus a left-behind child.

Misaki Saki was there adjusting the camera, trying to capture this touching moment without disturbing the reunion.

The digital camera, after having been bought for so long, finally fulfilled its original purpose.

To record the beautiful moments of life.

What was all that other stuff I shot before?!

On the other side, Chiba Shimizu, who had just come out of the kitchen, also saw this scene.

Miss Chiba, always so calm and cool, for the first time showed a hint of... envy???

It's hard to imagine that someone so admired could show envy towards others.

.....

"Mom, don't cry, I came to see you." Seeing her mother's condition, Rika Onodera also felt like crying.

"Yes, it's okay, Mommy just missed you too much."

Reiko Onodera wiped her tears again, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her emotions.

There was no helping it, the surprise was just too much...

Taking a deep breath and just as she stood up, she saw her own mother standing in the living room.

"Mother, how did you all come?" Reiko Onodera also voiced her confusion,

"Reiko, you have to thank Mr. Haruka. It was him who kept asking me to take Rika to Tokyo for your birthday," Mariko Akiyama credited all the success to the young man.

"I didn't want to come at first, but I couldn't withstand Haruka insisting... "

Lunch was over.

The first-floor living room was left for Mrs. Onodera and her mother to catch up.

Haruka Yuzan took Misaki Saki back up to the second floor, with Chiba Shimizu following silently behind.

After tossing the fluttering little girl into her room and shutting the door, he turned and went back to his own bedroom.

Leaving some space for the madam, it was time for him to rest as well.

A gentle breeze lifted the curtains, revealing the beautiful scenery outside.

The weather was just right now, but soon, it might be necessary to start using the air conditioner all day.

Haruka Yuzan lay on the large bed, wondering what nice things he could get after completing the madam's wish list.

"Click," the door opened,

Recognizing the person who entered, Haruka Yuzan immediately sat up in bed.

"Sister Reiko, what's up? Is there something wrong?"

The person was indeed Reiko Onodera.

Skinny jeans hugged her full, shapely legs, and she wore a white long-sleeve top. Her dark braided hair fell in front of her chest, and her little face was flushed, irresistibly enticing.

She looked like a peach that was ripe for the picking.

The madam closed the door behind her, apparently locking it.

"Haruka, I really want to thank you today." The madam sat down beside the bed and voiced her gratitude to the boy.

She was truly thankful for everything that day, for the boy before her... she could only try her best to repay him...

Thinking this, the madam's eyes turned shy, darting away...

"Sister Reiko, no need to be so formal, it's all something I should do."

"What about Rika and auntie?"

"They've gone for a nap, I took the afternoon off..." Reiko Onodera said shyly, her face reddening.

Haruka Yuzan chuckled and didn't say anything more, gazing at the madam's rosy lips and leaning down to kiss them directly.

"Haruka..."

"Is this okay? Sister Reiko?"

"It's okay."

...

Warm sunlight streamed in, casting the overlapping shadows of the two on the ground...

Land long neglected cannot be revived by just one or two heavy downpours...
