Hisaki waited for Mrs. Saeki and Heisuke to return anxiously. She believed that both of them already had a heart-to-heart talk with each other.
"They still won't come back?"
Hisaki kept looking at the wall clock while sitting in the living room.
It was already close to an hour from the first moment Heisuke and Mrs. Saeki walked out of the apartment.
Hisaki couldn't see them at the river from this distance. They might be further down the riverside.
From the moment she washed the dishes until now, Hisaki's train of thoughts kept on going in her mind.
Truthfully, this matter caught her off guard. Never did such a thing happen in her previous life, not that she was aware of.
Mrs. Saeki remained a single lady until her death. She never remarried any man. Her life was solely focused on herself and her only son.
So... about Hisaki's question in this chapter, it would be answered, kinda, in the New Year specials ;)
