275. Mother And Daughter

"Y-You!" a blue-haired woman said dumbfoundedly as she gazed at her boss and daughter sitting too close. 

She didn't know what to do about this situation. Her daughter, who had always been shy and introverted and never showed any interest in the opposite sex, was right now holding onto the arm of a man intimately.

She felt like a parent being introduced to their daughter's boyfriend, just like in those TV dramas she used to watch.

If it was just meeting Yoshino's boyfriend, it wouldn't be this much of a problem. Being a single mother made her a bit overprotective of her daughter, but that was just about it. She wouldn't make too much fuss and just bless them. 

But the situation in front of her was far from that. 

The man her Yoshino brought back home was not only her boss but also someone with whom she had a complicated relationship with...

.....

"Nagisa, could you let go...please.." Itsuki had an awkward expression as he felt Nagisa's intense glare as he was pressed against the wall. 

Nagisa quickly pulled him aside, and the moment they were alone, she angrily pushed him against the wall. Still, their height difference made her look more cute than intimidating. 

"You beast!" Nagisa hissed in anger as she caught his collar in rage. She was both angry and hurt. She felt like Itsuki only got close to her to get with her daughter.

This revelation filled her with disgust and betrayal. Her daughter was just 18, so this man must have been planning this for a long time. She knew he wasn't exactly human, but she felt he should have the same morals as them because he looked and acted human. 

" I don't know what you are thinking, but I believe there is a vast misunderstanding here, and if you let me explain, you will understand everything," Itsuki said calmly, with a helpless expression on his face.

From an outsider's perspective, he could see how suspicious his relationship with Yoshino looked, so he first visited her mother to discuss it. 

The thing was ...Yoshino's mother, Nagisa, and he had a bit of a history. 

She was a single woman, and to make matters worse, she was a Single mother with a daughter in the hospital. Knowing Yoshino's fate, he took care of her mother. 

With her character, he knew Nagisa wouldn't accept any kind of private help and would most likely be wary, so he opted to come in person. He felt like doing it in person on that particular day since it was one of his contracted spirits.

One thing led to another, and for Nagisa, he became her shoulder to cry on and nearly became her dick to ride on. Itsuki could only blame himself for being a womaniser.

Nagisa was a charming young woman, and with her cheerful nature, Itsuki couldn't help but be drawn to her. 

They could be considered friends, and Itsuki wasn't genuinely trying to seduce her. Still, during one of her emotional rants, things heated up, and she ended up in his arms while they made out. 

But it didn't go beyond that, as he knew Nagisa divorced her ex-husband because he cheated on her. He, who had relations with many women, could be considered worse in her eyes.

He didn't wish to deceive her, so he revealed the truth, and as expected, Nagisa was hurt by this revelation. Still, since they weren't in a relationship and were just friends, Nagisa couldn't lash out at him. 

From that day onwards, his visits became less frequent until he stopped seeing her other than at the office or on rare occasions. He never expected to meet her under these circumstances because he had resigned himself from never being with Kurumi or the others. 

Itsuki let out a complicated sigh as he gazed at the seething woman in front of him, who was staring at him with a myriad of negative emotions, such as anger, betrayal, sadness, and so on.

.....

Nagisa gritted her teeth at his nonchalant attitude and the calm way he handled this. 

She was angry and hurt, but she was also jealous. Nagisa was angry at herself because she felt envious of her daughter. 

Her feelings for Itsuki only grew more when he stayed away from her, as she started to miss his company. She was more hurt by how easily he walked away from her than by the revelation that he was a womaniser.

It was complicated and frustrating. Nagisa hated cheaters and womanisers, so she was hurt very badly when she found out that the man she was crushing hard on was the kind of person she hated most.

But even then, she couldn't hate this bastard that much, nor erase him from her mind. 

Nagisa's feelings only increased as they became akin to an unrequited love. She had deep feelings for him but couldn't accept that he had other women.

So, seeing her daughter bringing a man home and that man being the bastard that had been the cause of her sleepless nights made Nagisa nearly explode, but she held it in. 

So she pulled him aside in the guise of having a private chat, and they were in this situation now. 

"Go on.." Nagisa said with a stoic expression as she stepped back. She wanted to hear what excuses this man was about to make for seducing her baby girl.....
