Kenichi was a famous but mysterious businessman. They only met him on important project meeting. Other than in then formal meeting, they never saw him. He was not someone who fancied to attend function or banquet for socialising. When he received any banquet invitation, he only sent gift and never attended personally.
Many people wanted to use this rare opportunity to get closer to him. Unsurprisingly, As soon as Kenichi and Cacha entered the function room, few important businessmen and chief of government agency came one by one to chat with him.
These people tried to use this opportunity to score some credit for future opportunities. Kenichi recognised them but he smart enough to read their intention. He did not ignore them out of politeness however did not have any intention to go anyfurther.
He introduced Cacha to them before they enggaged in light conversations, nothing to do with business, mostly about family.
Hitoshi's wife, who were talking with few other lady, noticed it. When she knew that those people who exchanged words with Kenichi held important positions in their organisation,
She could not help but very jealous.
She deliberately said few ill words about Kenichi and Cacha to her chatting friends.
Mamoru was different. He had no ill feeling toward his cousin. What happen before was fully his mistake, nothing to do with His cousin at all. Kenichi even helped him before. He was very greatful toward Kenichi.
Mamoru came to greet them as soon as he saw them. He also bring his son and his wife to see Kenichi and Cacha.
No one knew that he got married and had six months old son. Due to his mother disapproval toward his wife, about two year ago He just registered their marriage. A week later, Grandma Yamaguchi organised a family dinner for them.
"Cousin" Mamoru greeted first.
Kenichi just gave a nodded but Cacha came forward to embrace Michiko, mamoru wife.They met few times before.
Cacha eyes sparkled when she saw the chubby little baby on Michiko arm. "oh.. He's very cute. can I hold him ?"
"Of course" Michiko said
Cacha held the baby and teased him. the Baby was also very confortable in Cacha arm.
Looking how passionate Cacha was with baby, Mamoru teased Kenichi. "Bro, should you have another one or two kids ?"
"No. Two are more than enough. How about you ?"
Mamoru smiled "Well.. My wife is pregnant again, 13 weeks"
"Wow.. so fast.. congratulations" Cacha said.
Michiko smiled "Thank you. I'm turning 35 this year so we prefer to have another one sooner"
"Lets find a seat. It's not good for pregnant woman to stand up to long" Cacha walked with Michiko while still holding the baby.
Mamoru supposed to be with his parents. Since his mother did not like his wife, Mrs Matsunaga arranged them to sit with Cacha.
Kenichi and Mamoru sat quietly as they watched their woman talked harmoniously. They really had nothing to talk about.
"Mamoru" Narumi saw Mamoru from afar and came to approach him.She had been thinking alot for the last few years. She came to realisation that she had feeling for him, she actually loved him. He treated her very well, it was her who started all the argument. He was a faithful man, it was her who had an affair first.
She had been thinking alot for the last few years. She came to realisation that she had feeling for him, she actually loved him.
He treated her very well, it was her who started all the argument. He was a faithful man, it was her who had an affair first.
She wished to fix their relationship and started again from the beginning.
Mamoru turned his head and stared the woman in front of him. He nodded to her ceremonially "Hello"
Narumi glanced at Michiko and Cacha. then she smiled gracefully " Is she your girlfriend ? I heard your mother doesn't like your girlfriend"
Kenichi shook his head and smiled. He was curious how Mamoru would react.
"This is my wife, Mother of my child. What happen between us, it's none of your business" Mamoru said coldly.
Narumi was stunned. wife ? son ? why did he get married so fast ? "I..."
Mamoru without any hestitation introduced his wife to his ex-wife. Michiko had known all about Mamoru past, she did not show any dislike toward Narumi.
Narumi then with hearth brokenly walked back to her seat. From her seat, she glanced at Mamoru few times. She was asking her self, if only she apologised sooner, she would still have chance to reconsile. did not she ?.
Other than Narumi, there was another person who was not in good mood that night. Mamoru's mother was very sour to see her son was sitting with their rival insteas of her. They even chatted harmoniously.
Her friends were questioning if Kenichi and his wife were bad people how come Mamoru was so close with them. Moreover, the Yamaguchi elders and Mrs Matsunaga doted Kenichi's wife alot.
Kenichi naturally knew about Mamoru's problem. Mrs Matsunaga and his grandparents discussed about it a lot.
With one glance, he understood that Narumi still had feeling toward Mamoru. He was not a busybidy but he wished for his cousin to live well and happy.
He took his wine glass and swirled it
"We, men, should take responsibility on every decision we made. Since you chose her, you have protect our wife properly. Don't keep other woman in your heart, Let past in the past"
Mamoru smiled. He naturally understood Kenichi's hint "I will and I won't give up until my mum accepts us. Just like you, I devote my self to my current wife "
Kenichi chuckled "it's not easy.Your mother is stubborn"
Mamoru laughed. Kenichi was right "Pleas pray for me"
Kenichi smiled. He held his wine up. Mamoru smiled back and he too held his wine. They sais no more as Mr ans Mrs Feng came with Mr and Mrs Sato.
Mrs Sato was Mitsuki's mother younger sister, she should sitting the groom family. However, they requested a same table with Mr and Mrs Feng.
Consequently, Cacha and Kenichi were on the same table with them. They were needed as translator. Since Mamoru was there, he was a big help as translator as well.
Kenji were also on the same table with them. He sat down with annoying looked.
"What happen with him ?" Cacha whispered at Kenichi.
"No idea"
