"Manta knew?!" Realization dawned on Masaichi.
"Of course. He is more reasonable than you are." Midori had a smug look on her face.
Xiu Jin started his irritatingly contagious laughter again.
Aoi Xiu could not help but chuckle.
These made Masaichi even more irritated. "Why you..!" He leaned in over his sister.
Just then, he felt small hands pushing him away from his sister with all their might.
"No, Tousan! Aunt Midori is pre-nant!" Manta was still getting into his new vocabulary.
Masaichi almost laughed. His son is quite adorable. He took the boy into his arms.
"When did you start keeping things from me?" he interrogated him as they went out to the lanai.
Midori heaved a sigh of relief, then eyed her mother. "Did not even defend me..."
"Didn't even invite me..." Aoi Xiu contorted her lips before walking away, playfully shifting the blame back to her daughter.
Midori turned to her father. "Otousan, why are you here?"
