My mother getting angry? Now that’s a first. Even for me, I have yet to see her become really furious about something.

Not counting the ones where she’s just menacingly smiling, she’s clearly the type who seldom shows what’s on her mind. Most of the time, one could only guess what she was thinking.

Even in my situation, I could only try and guess why she’s allowing me to do this ‘madness’ from a normal perspective.

But considering what Miwa-nee confessed that day, it could be a normal reaction, right?

Or so I was hoping it would be.

Miwa-nee has yet to finish retelling that story.

“You see… I thought she was angry because I did that to you. I was wrong.” Miwa-nee paused here and grabbed my hand tightly. Her eyes looked at me with definite concern. “The reason why she’s furious was that I chose to marry that guy instead of waiting for you. Even back then, she must have thought that it would be fine for you to take as many girls as you want.”
