Kirin Finds the Courage to Speak Up (Continued)

"Come in, Mom!"

Kirin stepped aside from the doorway and waited until Kotoha Todo had completely entered the room before closing the door again.

She had absolutely no way to deal with her mother.

Her mother was a wealthy heiress who maintained an innocent and carefree personality from a young age.

This personality remained unchanged even after she married Seijiro Todo; she was still the same as when she was young.

They are unconventional in personality, very bold, and say whatever comes to mind!

However, it can be said that Kotoha Todo and she are completely two extremes.

Kirin sighed again and prepared to walk out of the entrance hall to persuade her mother not to make too much of a mess of the room.

After all, she hadn't done anything shameful; she was just letting her thoughts wander.

Therefore, no matter how hard Kotoha Todo searches, she cannot find it.

"Huh--?"

Only after fully entering the bedroom did Kirin turn her head in surprise.

Because Kotoha Todo wasn't rummaging around as she had imagined; on the contrary, she was simply sitting quietly on the bed.

"Come and sit down!"

Seeing Kirin walk in, Kotoha Todo immediately patted the seat next to her, gesturing for Kirin to sit down beside her.

Although the situation before her left her somewhat confused, Kirin still obediently walked over and sat down next to Kotoha Todo.

"Is something the matter, Mom?"

"Um--!"

Kotoha Todo first drew out her words, then a meaningful smile appeared on her face.

Kirin, in turn, raised her snow-white neck in response to Kotoha Todo.

"Kirin, how far have things progressed between you and William- kun?"

It's truly astonishing what Kotoha Todo said here!

Kirin was completely stunned by those words. Normally, her skin was fair with a rosy glow.

A blush immediately covered all of Kirin's exposed skin, and her bright, watery eyes turned into mosquito coil-shaped circles.

His upper body also became unsteady, as if he could collapse onto the bed at any moment.

"Ara, ara!"

Seeing her daughter looking like this again, Kotoha Todo shook her head helplessly and simply pulled her into her arms.

He placed his hand on Kirin's back and patted her gently, his tone changing from teasing to mild.

You actually really like William, don't you?

The meaning behind Kotoha Todo was very certain.

Kirin immediately raised her head, looking at her mother with some surprise.

"What, did you really think you were hiding it well?"

"Your aunt and father both noticed it!"

Kotoha Todo looked at her daughter with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

She genuinely didn't know why her daughter thought she had hidden her little thoughts so well.

Her deep affection was clearly written all over her face.

Anyone who isn't a complete idiot can see it at a glance.

Surprised as I may be!

Now that her mother had brought the matter up, Kirin felt much more at ease.

She nodded slightly, which was considered an agreement.

Seeing Kirin nod, Kotoha Todo also nodded.

Now that we've confirmed our daughter's stance, things are much easier.

It's important to understand that they were only speculating before, even though Kirin's attitude was quite obvious.

Whenever William is mentioned, she always blushes, her heart races, and she becomes incredibly shy.

The problem is that her daughter is usually too shy, making them unsure of their guess.

"So! How far have things progressed between you two?"

Kotoha Todo asked again, her passionate love and gossip instincts now fully awakened.

The warm breath exhaled from Kotoha Todo hit Kirin's face.

Kirin snuggled even closer into Kotoha Todo's arms, and after a long while, she murmured something.

"It seems like there's no progress, but it also seems like there is!"

This ambiguous statement left Kotoha Todo completely bewildered.

It seems to be there, but it also seems not. What on earth is this?

Countless question marks appeared on Kotoha Todo's forehead.

Kirin noticed Kotoha Todo's question and slowly explained why she had said that.

The reason she said that was because William had looked at her with such pure eyes before.

It's the kind of care and concern an older brother has for his younger sister, without any ulterior motives.

But after she went to ask Senior William about the matter of the Diva...

She noticed that the way William looked at her was different than before.

Although his eyes still didn't reveal any lust, they contained a different kind of emotion.

Kirin is already very sensitive to emotions, sensed it very easily.
