Chapter 1329: Know your place

With the arrival of her mother, Komoe took only a minute before acting like she had just woken up. She even rubbed her eyes until they went red just to make her act believable.

Her mother surprisingly bought it. However, Komoe's act continued.

She turned her head to me and her feigned sleepiness suddenly disappeared.

Yep. Just like yesterday.

As if what happened before her mother showed up was an illusion, the girl reverted to how she acted before her confession. She went on all fours and crawled towards me. And without a care about what her mother would think, she placed her head on my lap and clung to me.

Thankfully, Auntie reacted the way I expected her to, she scolded the Komoe before urging the girl to hurry up and prepare for school.

However, I noticed that her eyes were smiling at the sight of her daughter being that close to me.
