For Our Happier Path

Mrs. Saeki was surprised when Heisuke suddenly returned and said that they had a guest. Hisaki also walked inside the apartment, telling the same.

"I'll prepare the tea," Hisaki immediately sprang into action. She brought up a can of tea leaves and put the kettle on the sink, "Darling, you entertain the guest."

Mrs. Saeki quickly tried to tidy her appearance despite not having much to do. She asked confusedly, "Who is it?"

"Mr. Hokama," answered Heisuke while putting down the plastic bags inside the sink, "He said that he wants to visit you so, I invite him to our home. He has been waiting at the gate for some time now."

Mrs. Saeki was startled. Something unperceivable flickered in her eyes.

In less than five minutes, Mr. Hokama who was waiting outside was invited in by Heisuke. The middle-aged man respectfully greeted Mrs. Saeki as he headed inside.
