Chapter 164: Girlfriend

Eh? What happened?

Suzuki Ara was dying to know. She had always wondered why Aki would suddenly look so depressed when someone mentioned his girlfriend. She was curious.

She continued to watch as her brother slowly recovered from his sudden gloominess until he was able to look at her again. At first, he looked like he didn't want to say anything, but it seemed he thought it would be unfair for Ara not to know anything when he knew everything about her relationship with Kou.

"Ara, I told you last time that like you, I was also arranged to marry someone since young, right?" he asked, and Ara nodded, remembering their conversation from the night before she went to Hakone.

"Actually, it's only somewhat true," Aki said which made her all the more confused.

What was "somewhat" true?

"When we were young, our dad had just gotten Suzuki Raiden Group off the ground," he began.
