Stealing Spree

Chapter 2284: Lively House



Upon arriving home, I immediately noticed my father's car parked outside. And the activity within the house was undeniably lively.

I could hear Minoru's laughter along with Fubuki's. Looks like those two kids hit it off, huh? More importantly though, our neighbors, Akane's parents, were also inside.

As soon as I approached the front door, it swung open revealing a face that I hadn't seen for weeks...

"Miwa-nee, you're--"

I hadn't finished talking yet when the woman immediately rushed to embrace me, my head immediately getting buried within her bountiful chest.

"Welcome home, Ruki."

That's all she whispered but hearing her voice like this again was enough for me to be a little emotional.

My arms wrapped around her, reciprocating her embrace as I replied, "I'm home, Miwa-nee."

It's been a while, but I missed this a lot. Even though we hadn't really lost contact since we had our phones and she's sending me regular updates, being here physically again was a whole different story.

Miwa-nee's embrace was warm and comforting. It was like coming home to a motherly figure after a hard day of work. Her breasts felt as soft and welcoming as ever. I looked up and I was met with her warm smile that was filled with her longing for me. Slowly, I raised my body, capturing her lips with mine. The kiss was gentle and sweet, filled with the affection and longing that had been built up over these few weeks of separation.

Her work getting that divorce from her ex-husband took a lot longer than we estimated but it didn't matter now. She's back.

The kiss didn't last long. It's just enough for us to express our feelings before Akane and Fuyu, who also came to greet me right at the door, let out fake coughs to get my attention.

"Husband, I get that you've missed Miwa-nee but I missed you too! I'm getting jealous here."

With her quirk still on, Akane had become openly expressive with her jealousy but it's not like she's trying to compete with them. She simply wanted me to pay her attention too so she could be as clingy as possible.

Then, there's Fuyu. Although this was probably a little complicated for her given that she didn't want to know the other women connected to me, she's still here to welcome me home.

"Ruki-kun." Her smile was a mix of sweetness and shyness, which I found utterly charming. Fuyu looked at me with those sparkling eyes that seemed to hide a multitude of thoughts. "How was your day?"

"Long, I guess? And I doubt it'll be over soon." I answered.

Miwa-nee released me from her embrace, letting me go over to the two girls behind her. Akane didn't miss that cue as she quickly jumped at me. On the other hand, Fuyu just waited for me until I stopped before her.

After kissing Akane and completing our usual ritual of welcoming me home, I stretched my arm out to Fuyu, hooking it around her waist.

"Thanks for waiting up, Fuyu," I whispered before kissing her as well. She didn't dodge it and welcomed me warmly, even though she was obviously a little embarrassed to be seen like this by Miwa-nee.

Miwa-nee cleared her throat, reminding us that she was still there. "Alright, you three. I can get jealous too, you know?"

We all laughed at her remark, breaking the tension that had been building up. I naturally didn't miss that cue and pulled her back to me as well. And together, the four of us just stood right in that space before the front door, savoring this moment.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

When we moved to the living room where my parents, Akane's parents and the two kids were sitting, they looked at us with knowing smiles.

"Papa!" Minoru rushed over to me with Fubuki falling behind a bit.

The little girl was looking a little cheeky as she looked up at me, her eyes alternating between me and Fuyu before saying, "Onii-chan, what did you do to my Onee-chan? Why is she red?"

I picked up Minoru and then patted Fubuki's head, answering her question, "Nothing. I simply teased her. What do you think? I did great, right?"

The little girl rolled her eyes before grinning, "Yeah. You did! But you should've shown it to me!"

"Fubuki!" Before I could reply, Fuyu was already at her side, pinching her cheeks as though telling her to behave. She scolded the little girl while hiding her embarrassment. Too bad for her, her sister was too much of a tease.

I thought she would also ask me about Minoru but I guess she didn't really take it too seriously even when she heard the boy calling me 'Papa'.

After a while, that chaos brought by Fubuki settled a little bit as my gaze turned to my doting mother and my father who was trying to keep his cool.

As for Aunt Akemi and Uncle Satoru, one was shaking her head as always while the other had a wry smile. This was a scene that he wasn't used to seeing.

Anyway, after spoiling Minoru for a bit, Miwa-nee took him from me. Then the room became lively again as the discussions continued.

There wasn't much of a topic since they were just catching up. When I sat down next to my mother, it became my turn to be doted on as she whispered to me, "Baby boy, you should relax tonight. I know you have many questions but hold that for tomorrow, okay? Let's just celebrate Miwa's return."

Well, she's right. There's no need to stress over anything here. I looked at my father and his face said it all.

In any case, it didn't take long before we heard Miwa-nee, Akane and Fuyu calling us to the kitchen where they prepared our dinner.

Yep. They had been cooking together so after moving here, they immediately returned to

finish it.

The dinner was lively, to say the least. And while the focus remained on me without truly touching the key points like my relationship with the girls or the other issues I was facing like the Ichihara. It was simply lighthearted and filled with teases.

Fuyu wasn't that used to the gathering but I made sure that she wouldn't feel out of place by putting her at my side. And obviously, Akane took the other side.

Miwa-nee didn't mind that at all so we just continued like this until we finished eating.

Aunt Akemi and Uncle Satoru were the first to excuse themselves. I thought they would be drinking since my father had already taken out a bottle from his collection shelf.

Miwa-nee embarrassedly turned her head away when my father brought up how it dwindled to a few bottles when it was filled up close to a full before.

Looks like they hadn't addressed it yet personally or my father just wanted to get back at Miwa-nee. Either way, with Akane's parents going back to their house next door, my father also followed them. That's where they're going to drink.

My mother remained but I doubt she'd stay for long. She's as clingy as Akane, after all. She wouldn't be able to take being away from my father for too long.
