haruchiyo's pov.

I decided to spend time with Aisa not because I had any intentions of reconciling with her, but rather to fulfill my duty as a responsible father figure for her son. Since I am the one who impregnated her, I firmly believe that I have the inherent right to provide care and support for my child through her. My ultimate goal has always been to ensure that my children do not experience the hardships of growing up without the presence of a father, nor do they suffer from insufficient support from their parents.

I do not mean to imply that Aisa and Y/n are financially struggling, but it appears that way since they are currently unemployed and unable to contribute to household tasks. This is in contrast to their brothers, who not only excel in combat skills but also excel in domestic responsibilities.

If Kazutora and Keisuke had the opportunity to witness their sisters discovering that they both had children with the same father, they would undoubtedly be ecstatic. I am confident that they would have no reason to criticize me as, in addition to being attractive, I am also financially prosperous.

"And cheater" Aisa's gaze meets mine, and a playful chuckle escapes her lips, as if the connection between us grants her an intimate understanding of my innermost thoughts. In retrospect, those moments held immense fascination during our past encounters. It was as if she has an uncanny ability to decipher the intricate workings of my mind effortlessly, offering me solace and reassurance in times when profound contemplation consumed me.

As I settled onto the swings, cradling Hanzu in my arms, a wave of nostalgia washed over me, evoking memories of our carefree teenage years. It was during these tranquil moments, observing the sun's descent into a melancholic horizon, that I found solace and comfort in the company of Aisa, until the nightfall emerged, the sky adorned itself with the gentle glow of the moon, casting a serene ambiance upon our surroundings.

While gently planting a kiss on Hanzu's shoulder, "He's the exact replica of Keisuke." I expressed to her my observation on Hanzu's appearance. It dawned upon me that Aisa must be providing him with nourishing meals, contributing to his impressive growth. As I looked at him, a striking resemblance to Kali emerged, evident from their shared captivating smiles and laughter.

As I gaze into Aisa's stunning mesmerizing brown eyes, I find myself unable to look away. I am captivated by their beauty and entranced by the deep and rich color. It's as if time stands still as I continue to admire her eyes, transfixed by their enchanting allure. Aisa's radiant smile, oh so radiant, is a testament to the promise that Keisuke made to her. He vowed to never let those lovely smiles fade away, for they hold the power to enhance her beauty like never before.

"Wait, is there something wrong with my face?" I tilted my head downward and attempted to force a smile. It is about time we departed, considering we have been present here for an extended period of approximately five hours. By the way, what is the current time? "It happens to be 9 PM," she responded without any inquiry on my part, demonstrating her ability to anticipate my questions.

I gently returned my son to her embrace and planted loving kisses on their foreheads, cherishing the bond we shared. As I tenderly ruffled Aisa's hair, I gathered all of her belongings, simultaneously guiding her as we made our way towards my parked car.

As I strolled along, I involuntarily tilted my head backwards in response to a gentle tap on my shoulder. To my surprise, it was a mature woman with a noticeably malnourished appearance, dressed entirely in white garments. She bore a resemblance to my girlfriend, Y/n, albeit with an added touch of age manifested in the presence of deeper wrinkles on her face.

"I'm feeling really uneasy today, and it's because of you. If you want to see her alive, you need to hurry up and drive home."

I was taken aback and my mind was overwhelmed with confusion, trying to understand the meaning behind her words. In that moment, a rush of thoughts flooded my brain, causing my head to almost explode with bewilderment. However, amidst the chaos, I instinctively turned my head towards the right, only to witness a group of people clad in PMHN uniforms - Psychiatric Nurses Association - aggressively chasing after her. It was at this precise moment that she uttered her final words, "Time is ticking♡," before sprinting away without ever glancing back. My initial reaction was to scream out in frustration or disbelief, but before I could even process it fully, Aisa, sensing my distress, gently placed her hand on my back and gazed at me with deep concern and worry etched on her face.
