Chapter 108: Chapter 97: The Final Celebration (Requesting Monthly Votes)
The afternoon sun was exceptionally bright,
the bustling world brushed by a breeze, and silence had fallen within the villa.
After the celebration, life reverted to its calm normality.
However, in a certain room of the villa, the "final celebration" was still underway.
The madam was completely soaked in the world of intoxication, her cheeks flushed with an enchanting red.
This noon, only the pleasant music and Yuzan's charming jeans lingered in Haruka's memory.
Even though the room was well soundproofed, Reiko Onodera still kept her voice down.
Sunlight streamed through the window, stretching their shadows long...
The afternoon birds had already returned to their warm nests, even the morning breeze, leaving the air somewhat moist but still comfortably warm.
.....
Time trickled by, and as everyone slowly awoke from their naps, the quiet and peaceful atmosphere began to dissolve.
"This sleep, I always feel like I've missed something."
In the dimly lit room,
Misaki Saki sat up in bed, feeling rather empty inside after awakening.
The hair she had tidied in the morning was now disheveled again; she casually put on a camisole, covering her snow-white delicate skin.
Even when taking a nap, it was important to keep her body relaxed.
But for some reason, she felt like she shouldn't have napped, should she?
Thinking this, Misaki Saki couldn't help but snicker, then lay back down straight, a cute little face that seemed to scoff at her previous thought.
Is there anything more important than sleeping? Looking for inspiration? Viewing materials? What a joke, where would she find materials in the middle of the day?
Haruka Yuzan?
Upon that thought, a stronger sense of disdain flowed across the girl's face. She hugged the blanket with her little arms and legs and lay back down.
Don't think too much, just go back to sleep!!
The diligence quota for today was already used up in the morning!!!
Now was Saki's time to enjoy!!
The best moments are those when you can lie down in bed after being busy, comfortably closing your eyes.
The only sounds were the whisper of the breeze, and unlike the noisy outside world, this was undoubtedly the best lullaby.
Slowly, even breaths filled the air, and the breeze brushed against the tranquil, lovely face; the blond-haired little girl in a camisole lay down and fell back asleep.
...
"Ah....."
Rika Onodera yawned adorably, and as she opened her eyes, she saw her mother walking back through the room door.
"Mommy!"
Not knowing how long it had been since she'd woken up to see her mother, Rika Onodera seemed very happy, reaching out for a hug.
"Shh!"
Reiko Onodera squatted down quickly, hugged her daughter, then gestured toward the sleeping Mariko Akiyama in bed and whispered,
"Don't disturb grandma's sleep, shall we go outside and play?"
Upon hearing this, Rika Onodera instantly covered her mouth with her hands and nodded vigorously,
"Mmm-hmm!"
"Good, go wait for mommy outside. I'll fetch a few things and join you, okay?" Reiko said with a smile.
The weather was rather hot; a few strands of hair stuck to her forehead, and sweat dampened her collar, the white garment clinging to her soft skin, her cheeks lightly tinged with pink, as if she had just finished some activity??
However, she was indeed in particularly high spirits, as if rejuvenated, blossoming into her second spring at 28???
Or perhaps it was her body's second spring.
"Mmm-hmm!" Rika Onodera nodded obediently and then tiptoed out.
She seemed exceptionally joyous.
Watching the adorable little figure leave, Reiko Onodera pursed her rosy lips, a bashful smile creeping over her face as if that of a young girl, madam never knowing just how captivating she was at that moment.
Glancing at her mother still sound asleep on the bed, Reiko stole out of the bedroom on tiptoes, taking a set of clothes with her.
It was after she saw her mother and Rika asleep that she had gone to find Haruka Yuzan.
The breeze lifted the thin curtains, and the gentle sunlight beamed in; the dozing Mariko Akiyama slowly opened her eyes, glanced at the firmly shut bedroom door, and sighed softly.
Changing environments at her age, how could she easily fall into a deep sleep??
...
"Rika, watch TV in the living room for a bit, I'm going to take a bath," Reiko instructed.
"Okay! Go ahead, mommy, I'll be good here!"
After settling the little one, Reiko headed to the bathroom on the first floor.
She couldn't help it — she was sweaty and sticky, which was too uncomfortable.
If she quickly finished her bath, she could spend more time with Rika.
....
The villa was never short on variety when it came to bathrooms.
A convenient layout indeed.
In the bathroom,
white steam filled the space,
water glided over the madam's soft skin, and Reiko, looking at her perfect figure in the mirror, couldn't help but wear a content smile.
After so many years, she'd finally done it —
Soon, the madam finished her bath, placed her worn clothes into the laundry basket, dried her hair, and stepped out.
In the living room,
Rika sat obediently on the couch, clutching a giant fat cat in her arms, both deeply engrossed in "Tom and Jerry."
"Meow!"
Roast Meat meowed in the girl's embrace, as if cheering on his idol.
