This... Is this an implicit agreement?
After seeing her daughter's expression, Ishihara Yoshiko also had an answer in her heart.
This time, her glance toward Haruka Yuzan was even more filled with complicated emotions.
Her daughter's boyfriend was handsome, polite, responsible, and seemed to come from a good family.
Then she looked at the person beside...
Such an outstanding boyfriend, she definitely didn't want her own family issues to affect their relationship...
"So, Madam Miko, what have you decided?"
Haruka Yuzan was still patiently squatting there, trying to persuade the lady,
"Is it Hoshina and her sister, or that piece of trash beside them?"
Ishihara Yoshiko fell into hesitation, her eyebrows furrowing slightly as she looked at the small man moaning in pain beside her.
Noticing her gaze, Arisugawa Daichi lying on the ground glared back viciously, as if he was saying,
If you dare leave, I'll kill you.
Frightened, Ishihara Yoshiko instinctively shrank her neck, and Haruka Yuzan also noticed this scene, sighing softly, "Why are there always people who don't learn their lesson?"
Smoothing the wrinkles on his clothes, Haruka Yuzan stood up with a smile and walked over to Arisugawa Daichi before squatting down again.
"What, what are you going to do?"
Arisugawa Daichi shrank back in fear, "Don't come near me, you clearly promised you would let me go!!"
"Relax, I never said I was going to do anything to you."
Haruka Yuzan revealed a serene smile and patted the man's face in front of him; a slap resounded, instantly sobering up Arisugawa Daichi quite a bit.
Putting aside how strong the other person's slap was, now that he was sober, realizing the quality and air about Haruka Yuzan was not something anyone could cultivate.
I can't afford to provoke him!!
Truth be told, aside from at home, whenever it involved others, as long as Arisugawa Daichi was sober, he would always be in the most cowardly state, not daring to provoke anyone, unable to afford upsetting anyone.
Luckily, Arisugawa Daichi was often drunk, which somewhat deterred the people around, and by extension, offered a small amount of protection to the mother and her two daughters.
So after sobering up he feels cowardly, but while drunk he becomes invincible, huh?
I've discovered a new concept of deity...
Haruka Yuzan couldn't help but laugh at his own stray thoughts.
This smile, in the eyes of Arisugawa Daichi, became exceptionally terrifying, "What, what are you going to do?"
"Relax, I'm just here to make sure you don't say anything unpleasant."
Haruka Yuzan always had the feeling he was the big villain, and after hypnotizing himself a bit in his mind, he continued to speak with a smile, "Remember what you promised me just now?"
"Forgotten? Let me remind you then."
As Haruka Yuzan was about to raise his hand again, Arisugawa Daichi was scared into retreating repeatedly,
"I, I remember now, rest assured, I, I won't interfere in this matter anymore, please let me go."
Looking at the fearful coward in front of him, Haruka Yuzan let out a somewhat disappointed sigh. The man was caving too quickly; he hadn't even started to teach him a lesson yet, and it was a bit of a pity.
Seeing her husband's behavior, a faint disappointment flashed across Ishihara Yoshiko's eyes.
Even now, he still hasn't stood up to express any objection, has he?
A soft voice drifted over, and Arisugawa Mai looked at her mother with teary eyes, pitifully.
The gaze of her younger daughter was clear, like a serene spring on a summer day, invoking an inner desire to protect her.
Ishihara Yoshiko looked at Mai, then at Hoshina, and finally nodded slowly.
"Okay, Hoshina, I agree."
This decision seemed several years overdue, but... even if it was made now, it wasn't too late, there was still time and measures to make amends.
Ishihara Yoshiko knew, the faint hope in her heart would not materialize, no matter when, Arisugawa Daichi was still that same man.
Drinking, sleeping, hitting people, he filled almost every attribute of being a scumbag, in the early years relying on her to work and earn money to support the family.
When Hoshina grew up, she became very "rebellious", wanting to work instead of going to school, dressing like a bad girl. Fınd the newest release on NoveIꜰire.net
But deep down she knew, Hoshina did this only to relieve her own pressure.
Just as Hoshina had said, maybe it would be better to leave him.
Arisugawa Mai threw herself into her mother's arms and began to cry bitterly.
Too much had happened today; there was no time to think it all through.
But the little girl knew, from now on there would be no more drunken dad, and she, her mother and sister could live happily together.
"Mai, I'm sorry for all these years."
Ishihara Yoshiko gently touched her daughter's hair and began to cry as well.
Though her words were to Arisugawa Mai, her gaze was on the tomboyish older daughter.
These years, the person she had let down the most was probably this older daughter in front of her...
For the sake of this family, she really had given so much...
Arisugawa Hoshina's gaze flicked away, and although she still looked disdainful on the surface, the smile at the corner of her mouth had betrayed her feelings.
Seeing the madam agree, Haruka Yuzan also let out a slight sigh of relief; the first step was finally taken.
