Chapter 13 Section VI

After eleven o'clock that night, when Mariko came home, she hoped that her husband had already gone to bed, and at the same time entered the entrance, because she hated to see her husband's face. It's a pity that instead of going to bed first, Tajima was still waiting for her. "I have something that I must explain to you." Tajima said in a firm tone.Mariko's expression also became very stiff, and the remaining drunkenness suddenly woke up. It seemed that tonight would not escape the fate of face-to-face negotiation. "At any rate, please sit down." Tajima said in a dry voice.

Mariko sat down on the sofa silently, with a sense of vigilance naturally welling up in her heart. "Don't be deceived," she told herself, because she saw that her husband wanted to justify what she had done. "That..." Tajima said in a low voice, rubbing his hands in panic. "I beg you to forgive me..." "..." "Needless to say, I love you deeply, even more deeply than when I got married. This time, it can be said that I was possessed by an evil spirit..." "I do not know what you're talking about." "You really don't know?"

"What's the matter?" Mariko looked at Tajima with malicious eyes. After Tajima coughed lightly, he looked at Mariko's face suspiciously. "You really don't know?" Tajima said again. "Actually, it's Miss Kuwahara's matter..." "What's wrong, Miss Kuwahara?" "That was... a month ago, she started to seduce me. I was seduced by her because I couldn't restrain myself, and I did something that I regret. What I want you to understand is that I love you deeply..." Tian Said the island blushing. The husband looked very flustered, but Mariko was very calm, and the husband's flustered expression looked very funny.

"Are you referring to that incident where you and Yumiko Kuwahara went to the Sendagaya Motel for a tryst?" "How did you know about that?" A look of panic appeared on Tajima's face, and his complexion also changed. The distorted face looked like a child playing a prank. The husband is a bit childish, but he cannot be forgiven for that. "Yes, how did you know?" Tajima said with a pale face. "I look funny, don't I? I'm afraid you'll be offended if you find out." "I can't see that you are frightened. Didn't Kuwahara Yumiko have a good chat with you in the studio today?"

"That's Kuwahara coming uninvited, I didn't ask her to come..." "She is your model, she came to you at will, don't you have any responsibility at all?" "No, I'm not avoiding responsibility, I just want you to understand that it was just a misunderstanding, of course! I'm also wrong. "It's all wrong. I can't change the facts even if I say more, but I don't want to lose you because of this mistake. If I lose you..." "If your love for me hasn't changed, this kind of thing shouldn't have happened." "If you say that, I have nothing to say. I don't even know why that kind of thing happened. I think I must be bewitched."

"So you want me to forget..." "If possible, I hope you can forget." "It's easy for you to say!" "It's natural for you to be so angry. I know I'm sorry for you, but I don't want to..." "Don't want to lose me?" "Yes, I don't want to lose you." "I'll consider it." "Would you really consider it?" "Yes, I will consider it." Mariko spoke in a softer tone, and stood up from the sofa.With a timid look on Tajima's face, he pouted and said, "You won't abandon me, will you?"

"Abandon you?" Mariko said with a wry smile. "I'm just thinking about it, why do you think so?" "Because I guess you have a boyfriend." "..." Mariko not only opened her eyes wide in surprise, but also reminded her of what Jingguan said. Jingguan said that he seemed to see her husband following her, so maybe her husband was really following her then? Perhaps the husband followed Mariko and saw her entering the bar with Jingguan, so he suspected her of misbehavior? The husband is a self-willed and jealous person, and this speculation may or may not be correct.

"No matter what, I won't let you leave me." Mariko left Tajima's words behind her, walked out of the living room, and climbed up to the second floor.
