Chapter 325 - THE MASSACRED EGG (1/2)

Akira did not know what Sayaka said to Daiki after he came back from his golf trip. However, after that talk, her father acted with extreme care and caution. He was attentive to Sayaka like she was the queen, and he was a faithful knight.

He poured her tea, served her food and pulled her chair. He also came back early after work with a range of ostentatious presents like a huge bunch of roses, an edible arrangement and craft chocolate. ​​

In essence, he behaved like a lackey.

Akira looked at her mother with curiosity and wondered if she could learn about the skill she had used to turn her father into a loyal servant.

Her mind drifted to a certain fox with evil eyes. How good would it be to have that Takahashi Kaito as her minion?

The thought filled her with pŀėȧsurė as she pictured herself ordering him with a wave of her hand while he rushed about to fulfil all her wishes.

However, after a moment, she wondered why she was thinking about him. He had not appeared before her for a whole week. Perhaps, he was already gone. From what she had gathered from her mother's gossip about the city, he was not even a resident of Mountain Ridge.

Maybe, she would not see him again. She stabbed the sunny side up egg on her plate.

It would be a good thing if he did not appear before her. If he did, she would show him who is the boss. She stabbed the egg again and again.

”Akira, are you alright?” Sayaka asked cautiously as she looked at the massacred egg.

Her daughter had impeccable table manners and would eat all her food with care. Therefore, the strange behaviour made her a little worried.

”Yes, everything is alright.” Akira smiled. ”I guess I'm not hungry.”

The smile on her daughter's face was a little wider than usual, but it made Sayaka a little scared. She wondered if she was imagining it.

She looked at her husband. He discretely shrugged his shoulders. He had also noticed the peculiar actions, but he thought it best to say nothing after seeing the fate of the egg.

”Are you worried about the bet with your aunt? Don't worry. Seiji said he knows someone with a suitable violin. At worst, we will buy another crystal piano.” Sayaka comforted Akira.

Akira frowned a little. She did not care about the bet. It was not interesting betting on something she knew she would win. But at least, she would put that vile woman down and own something new and interesting by the end of the day.

”There is no need. Hina will bring my violin before the party.” Akira responded.

Sayaka realised that Akira truly did not care about the bet.

”Then, why do you seem on edge?” She asked.

”I am not on edge,” Akira responded stiffly.

”Tell it to your breakfast.” Sayaka looked meaningfully at the plate.
