As...as a mother-in-law?!
Haruka Yuzan was startled, lifting his head in some astonishment to look at the elegant and noble lady before him, wondering how she could say such words in such a tender tone?
However, Lady Otome seemed not to notice anything amiss; her bright, large eyes curved into beautiful crescent shapes as she smiled and said, while caressing her cheek,
"Of course, though we could hire a nanny, it's better to keep the child close by. You and Yumeko are still in school, and if everything is left to me alone... the pressure would be too much..."
Her gentle demeanor was truly comforting and pleasing to the soul.
"So, Mr. Haruka, please be sure to take safety precautions, okay? I don't want to become a grandmother so soon... Taking care of kids, although fun, is really exhausting, you don't know, when Yumeko was little, that...."
"Mother!!"
