Stealing Spree Chapter 2046 Trust

She kept her finger on my lips and continued, “Dear, you don’t have to be alard… I won’t be upset even if it turns out to be true.”

What did she an by this? I couldn’t help but ask that to myself.

Did she figure it out herself or did soone tell her about it? Or maybe, the clues Mina and I left for her were already uncovered by her.

Based on her words, she’s not certain about it. At least, until I opened up to her by saying I wanted to apologize.

That settled her suspicion.

With this, one could say that I made a blunder. However, I’ve been aning to confess it to her anyway. That’s one of my reasons for coming here.

At this mont, there’s no trace of unhappiness from Yayoi-san. In fact, apart from the hint of relief as though she pulled out what was prickling her, Yayoi-san's eyes still showered with warmth and affection.

Like she said, she wasn’t going to be upset so an apology would be unnecessary.

Our relationship might’ve started too quickly and we only had a few instances where we could be this close to each other. Nonetheless, I never missed a day checking on her except when I was on a camping trip. But that shouldn’t be enough for her to just dismiss her doubt, right?

Well, there’s no point trying to figure it out myself. It’s best to hear it from her directly.

“Yes, it is true. Their identity is the sa as you and Mina. I love them as much as I love the both of you.” I tried hanging my head low but Yayoi-san prevented from doing so. She wanted to look her in the eye and communicate with her truthfully.

“Your eyes didn’t even waver by saying that. Does that an you love all of us equally?”

“Yes. I was planning to tell you about this in the future…”

“Are you afraid that I’ll be devastated?”

“Not only that. I don’t want you to feel betrayed again.”

“Dear, if that’s the case, it doesn’t matter whether you tell about it right away or in the future. In the end, I’ll still feel betrayed because I will be thinking that there’s only and Mi-chan for you.”

“You’re right… I beca a little selfish, thinking it’ll be better to slowly ease you up with the idea that I can fall in love with multiple won.”

“Mi-chan agreed to your decision, right?”

“Mhm. I asked her for help…”

I was already deliberating about adding an apology at the end. However, I pushed it back down upon seeing her unshaken resolve.

“Mhm. I asked her for help…”

I was already deliberating about adding an apology at the end. However, I pushed it back down upon seeing her unshaken resolve.

No matter what, she’s not going to be upset with . Even with this revelation.

Yayoi-san beca silent for a while, most likely digesting everything that I said.

I thought I should continue revealing everything to her. However, before I could say sothing more, Yayoi-san pulled my head in, resuming the connection between our lips. Her affection for poured through it. And little by little, the sweetness brought by that kiss seed to convey her reason why she was unbothered despite my admittance of guilt.

For Yayoi-san, her current affection prevailed over everything else. That simple.

Her trust in was so high that she never even compared to the man who made her suffer years ago.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been nothing but genuine to her when it cos to my affection for her or there’s another reason.

However, Yayoi-san is willing to turn a blind eye temporarily, letting tell her everything I’m still keeping from .

Whether or not her affection for will change after I tell her everything, it’s still up in the air. At the mont, Yayoi-san didn’t have any intention of flipping the board and letting any negative emotion take over.

Seconds gradually turned to minutes. Soon, our lips separated again and Yayoi-san let out a peal of endearing laughter.

“You’re a totally good kisser, dear. I can’t get enough of it.”

“So are you, Yayoi-san.”

“Un. We’re this compatible, no?” Her lips curled up into a smirk before moving her arms from my back to my head. Then, she pulled my head down, enclosing in her tight embrace.

“Dear, I can see the resolution in your eyes. You ca here ready to address my suspicion. And you did so without faltering. It may be normal to be upset. However, our relationship has been abnormal from the beginning.”

“You promised to take care of – or us. And I still believe that. You may be young but your sense of responsibility has been oozing out of you ever since the first day that I t you. You’re soone who will never break a promise. That’s my initial impression. That hasn't changed yet, right?”

Hearing her words, affird her words and looked up at her with the sa resolute expression.

However, there’s still sothing that needs to be addressed.

“Even if that’s the case. Don’t you feel it’s too much?”

“It is too much. That’s why I’m expecting you to make up for it. Can you do that?”

“How?”

“Simple. Don’t let be in the dark anymore.”

“That’s too simple. And I’m going to do that regardless of the outco.”

“Is that so? Then… I’ll leave you to think about how to make up for it. In the anti, can we finish preparing our dinner? I ant it when I invited you for dinner.”

“Alright. Order to your heart’s content, Yayoi-san.”

“I’ll take you up on that offer then. Here, prepare all of these for …” She reached for an onion and then pointed at the stack of ingredients on the other side of the countertop. “And before I forget, I will also be transparent to you, dear. It’s been so ti since I sensed that you and Mina have sothing you’re keeping from .”

“... How long was it?”

“Last week? I t Haru-chan and Edelweiss-chan. I’ve t those two ways before Mina brought you here for our little competition. Unlike before when they were so averse to the ntion of a boy, they wore the sa expressions as Mi-chan when talking about you. They’re both filled with affection toward you.”

This. So, Haruko and Edel indirectly clued her in. I must say, she’s got so scary observation skills as well to pick that up. But then, even without the trip to Tokyo, we’re already bound to arrive at this sa juncture.

“I see… we’ve been seen through already.” I smiled bitterly before slowly loosening up my hold around her.

When Yayoi-san noticed that I was trying to take a step back, she locked her fingers together from behind , not letting retreat.

Then, with a stern look, she wordlessly conveyed that I shouldn’t escape.

“Don’t feel bad about it. I run a business of my own. I have developed a good eye on people by observing my custors day in and out.” Yayoi-san smilingly stated before easing up her expression. “Ruki-dear, we have a long way to go. I’m willing to bet our future with you. You’re the only one who made feel loved again. You’ve shown clearly that you’re not calculative but sincere with everything you do and say…”

Hearing all of this from her, my face couldn’t help but feel the heat. This kind of trust and devotion… I truly have to live up to it.
