His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 655

Chapter 655: LITTLE SISTER

Shio Emi was exhausted when she got home.

However, there was a slight smile on her face. She had long forgotten about her annoyance earlier when she was waiting for Yagi Seiryo.

At the time, she assumed he was an irresponsible parent just like most of the parents in the Blue Monarch Institute. Moreover, the rumours about him were countless, and they ranged from the mundane to the outrageous.

Some people claimed that Misaki was not his niece, but his daughter born by an unsuitable woman he dumped, possibly in a river. This was one of the tame rumours. The more malicious gossip indicated he had murdered his entire family for money.

Some of the children made him out to be a monster while others seemed to idolise him.

Misaki never seemed affected by the rumours.

But Emi was always worried that she was hiding behind a fa?ade of carelessness to hide her discomfort about her uncle. After all, it must be difficult for her to live under the dark shadow cast by her family’s reputation.

.....

However, when she talked to Misaki, she found it was not the case.

She remembered the crafty look on the little girl’s face.

“Teacher Shio, when I hear that people fear my uncle, I feel relieved. People might hate someone they fear, but they can’t do anything to them. So, I am happy with the reputation my uncle has.” She said before laughing.

It was then that Emi realised that Misaki loved her uncle and treasured him.

Shio looked at her empty house and pursed her lips with annoyance. It was perfectly clean and too organised. The appearance of the interior space grated on her nerves. She was a tidy person, but she liked when her house looked a little lived-in.

She liked to see a fluffy comforter on the sofa, a book on the coffee table and the occasional struggle of finding a remote.

But the house was flawless.

She knew someone came and cleaned the house every day when she went to work. The kitchen would be stocked with fresh food, and any home repairs conducted with extreme efficiency. If she had not put her foot down, someone would be cooking for her.

She picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.

As a teacher, she probably should have chosen to watch the news. But she chose a dating reality show. It was completely shallow and without content. All it had were beautiful people who argued over the most meaningless things.

The sound filled the large house.

She smiled. She did not understand how something so annoying and frustrating made her feel relaxed and at home. She walked to the kitchen and washed her hands while looking at the screen on the far wall.

She had synced the TV screens in the house for the ultimate watching experience.

She opened the fridge, and as expected, the space was filled with fresh food. The amount of food in the refrigerator was overwhelming. It happened each Friday because she did not allow anyone to come to her house over the weekend.

Could she starve in two days?

She suppressed her usual annoyance and picked out a bottle of white wine. She poured a glass before walking out of the kitchen, laughing as two girls started fighting in a pool at the provocation of another girl.

The three of them were interested in the same man, but the third one enjoyed dramatic irony because she never exposed her intentions.

Of course, Shio knew the show was scripted, but the flow was too ridiculous.

After a long bath, she went back to the kitchen. She took her phone and looked at it for a long moment. She hesitated for a moment because she wanted to order food. However, when she thought of the fresh stock in the fridge, she could not.

Plus, it was healthier to cook anyway.

She had to eat food outside while at school, so it was better to have a change in pace. She took out some marinated chicken from the fridge along with an assortment of vegetables.

As she was cooking, her phone rang.

She looked at the phone and found one of her brothers calling. She pursed her lips in irritation, but she answered the call. She knew if she ignored it, she might hear someone knocking on the door. And she did not like disruptions to her current life.

“Little Emi, have you missed your big brother?” The voice was familiar and comforting.

“No.” She said mercilessly.

“Do not be shy about missing us. You must be so scared of being all alone. Why don’t you join your family in Kyoto? It is much more peaceful here. You know you will love it here.” The voice was earnest.

Emi rolled her eyes. She had heard the convincing argument for the last few months from her entire family. When their family moved to Japan, she went directly to Tokyo to work at the Blue Monarch Institute.

She was familiar with the city, and she could not pass the opportunity for an independent life. But her family preferred a more traditional lifestyle.

She could not say she would never return to her family, but she was enjoying her current life for now.

Plus...

A handsome face with a hint of dangerous energy appeared in her mind...

Her heart skipped with excitement, and her face became a little hot.

No! He was a parent of one of her students. And he was older. And he had an extremely shady background.

She could not think of him in that way.

That did not mean she would go to Kyoto.

“Did you call so late to sing this old song?” She retorted. “I already said I will come to visit during the anniversary banquet. For now, I am too busy with work.”

“You know that job is going nowhere. You are wasting your talents.” The voice on the other end was exasperated.

“Do not worry. You know me. I have a plan. Trust me.” She said. “If there is nothing else, I am hanging up.”

“Wait, I wanted to tell you that I will come to Tokyo in two weeks.” He said.

“I am sure I can squeeze a few minutes from my busy schedule to have dinner with you.” She replied with a laugh.

“You will need more than a few minutes, little sister. I will stay with you. See you then.”

Immediately, the call disconnected.

Emi was livid.

She dropped her knife on the vegetables with anger.

“We will see about that!”
