Sister-in-law had fallen asleep.
But Aoyama Xiu Xin could not.
Despite having worked all day, he still had to drag his exhausted body to attend to someone in the evening.
At the home of Deputy Chief Justice Takizawa Shikou.
Ever since Takazawa Chiyu was transferred to the Tokyo District Court, she had moved back home at the urging of her aunt.
She was determined to reclaim everything that rightfully belonged to her!
Tonight, Takizawa Shikou had a social engagement and hadn't returned yet.
His five-year-old daughter was already asleep.
At this moment, only Hashimoto Miho and Takazawa Chiyu, the stepmother and stepdaughter with a seven-year age difference, remained in the living room.
Takizawa Chiyu had just bathed and changed into a light, white camisole nightgown; her black hair was tied up behind her head, her beauty fresh as a dewy peony, free from any artificial adornments.
