"Don't worry, Jiko. Judging from what happened yesterday, the child is definitely not in bad health! And Jiko's health is not that bad. She is no different from ordinary people in her daily life. Don't talk about yourself like that!"

If he doesn’t pamper his new wife, who will? Watanabe’s next words were a strong dose of medicine: “Kiko, don’t be sad anymore. Thinking too much is really bad for the baby in your belly…”

"I know that, I won't think too much about it! It's enough to have Tetsuya-kun by my side~!"

"I will always be here..." Watanabe promised, still wiping Noriko's tears carefully, and joked:

"Noriko, please stop crying. If someone sees you, they will think I'm bullying you, and it will cause a misunderstanding and cause a lot of trouble."

Watanabe also did not mention the specific name to avoid trouble, and mentioning the specific name would also make it seem that his teasing towards Kiko had changed.

However, the direction of this sentence was particularly obvious, and Jiko immediately thought of Hoshimi Haruka.

She obediently stopped crying and opened her slightly swollen eyes to show Watanabe: "You can't tell that I cried, right?"

"Wash your face and eyes and it should be seamless," Watanabe suggested.

"it is good!"

With Watanabe's help, after washing with warm water, Noriko regained her energy and spirit. Her signature gentle smile appeared on her face again. She asked:

"When will Hoshimi Haruka come? Tetsuya-kun~ Do I have time to prepare dinner now?"

"I don't know exactly when she will come. It could be the next second, or it could be another hour or two... As for cooking, forget it. Let's not even talk about whether she can get used to the food. The key is that she is such a busy star with a full schedule. She should just come to visit and won't have time for dinner."

As for whether Hoshimi Haruka's schedule was full, Watanabe Toru had no idea. However, he was sure that since Hoshimi Haruka came to Tokyo, her lower abdomen had always been full. That was the hard work of Watanabe Toru himself, so he was naturally impressed.

But Noriko said, "It's better to be prepared, just in case."

"Then listen to Noriko. I'll help."

Watanabe put his arm around Noriko's waist and went to the kitchen. When he was about to put an apron on her, the doorbell rang.

"Is it Hoshimi Haruka...is she here?" Since it was inconvenient to turn around, Kiko asked Watanabe behind her.

"I don't know either..." Watanabe was also confused. He agreed to come back in about half an hour, but it's not even 20 minutes yet!

He explained: "We had agreed at the company that if she came to the apartment, she would call us downstairs in advance, so..."

"Not her? Then who could it be?" Jiko murmured, and a name popped up in her head.

Watanabe escorted her to the door and looked through the peephole. Noriko turned around and said, "It's Miss Saotome."

"When did she come back?" Watanabe frowned, calmly expressing that he had just learned about Saotome's news.

"Yesterday morning? Or maybe the night before yesterday. Anyway, let her in first."

Jiko opened the door and warmly hugged her best friend whom she hadn't seen for nearly half a month.

"Kiko is pregnant now, so be careful not to touch her. After all, I'm going to be the child's stepmother~!" Saotome hugged her gently and politely, then walked into the apartment with Kiko.

She skillfully changed out of her high heels, and Noriko specially prepared slippers for Saotome. Then Saotome mustered up the courage to see Watanabe.

After a day and a night of settling down, Saotome finally felt better. She couldn't keep hiding from Watanabe.

He could definitely hold it in, but she really couldn't hold it in for even a moment!

Even if she had to endure Watanabe Tetsuya's cold stares and his cold words, Saotome Hazuki accepted it!

Now, seeing Watanabe's stunned look, Saotome held back her laughter and greeted him.

"Long time no see, Mr. Watanabe."

Watanabe said "hmm", and as expected, did not give Saotome a good look, and followed the two women into the living room.

He saw them talking and laughing, and Saotome even leaned over and put her ear to Kiko's belly, blinking her fox eyes and listening carefully.

The woman was facing Watanabe sideways, and she was very thoughtfully wearing a slightly revealing low-cut dress. From the angle Watanabe was standing, he only needed to lower his eyes slightly to see the entire view.

This was the first time that Saotome wore such a bold style of clothing in front of Noriko. Perhaps she was testing Noriko's bottom line. Watanabe looked at his ignorant new wife and felt that pregnancy really made her a lot dumber.

"Um...what's going on with my stepmother?" Watanabe sighed in his heart, but still asked his doubts.

Watanabe almost cried out "Ah!?" when he heard Saotome say that at the entrance just now.

"Didn't Noriko tell Mr. Watanabe? Noriko-chan~ wants me to be a second mother to your child, or a stepmother~! It just so happens that I have the same idea, so we hit it off~!

“After all, Kiko-chan is my best friend now, so her child is of course my child too!

"As for my child in the future...Jizi-chan can also be her stepmother!"

"Sure, sure!" Jiko obviously also wanted to be a stepmother.

Watanabe Toru looked at the two women in front of him performing the same drama, and glanced at Saotome Hazuki with an unfriendly look, which was both speechless and full of warning.

I warned her to speak less, but I was speechless in response to the title of "stepmother" and the sophistry of "her children are also my children".

So does that mean her husband and new husband are also your husband?

Watanabe could guess how Saotome would respond to him.

Thinking of this, Watanabe Toru fell silent. Subjectively, there was no such thing, but from an objective point of view, what was the difference between him and Saotome or the lovers and husbands of those evil women?

Building his own Crystal Palace in this way and becoming the owner of the Crystal Palace was not what Tetsuya Watanabe wanted.

At least it is definitely not what he wanted in the past or now.

No longer thinking about such boring things, Hoshimi Haruka sent a confusing text message as promised. Watanabe also looked at the time. Half an hour was up, and he had to interrupt the first close discussion between the child's biological mother and stepmother about the care of the fetus.

"Saotome-sensei, is there anything else?"

"I'm talking to Noriko about pregnancy-related precautions~" Saotome obviously tried not to understand Watanabe's words and didn't want to leave.

Watanabe could see that she wanted to stay at his house, waiting for Hoshimi Haruka to come.

He just felt that Saotome was sticking to him like a psoriasis and he couldn't get rid of her no matter how hard he tried. It was really annoying, so he went to look at his newlywed wife next to him.

Noriko read the meaning in Watanabe's eyes and said to Saotome, "Hazuki-chan, let's talk again next time we have a chance. We have something else to do later and can't talk with you anymore~!"

"Okay... Actually, I still have something very important to tell Watanabe-sensei and Noriko-chan."

"Ah? What's going on..."

Saotome was still delaying time. She was eagerly looking forward to Hoshimi Haruka's visit so that she could stay a little longer and see Watanabe a few more times. So she had to tell Noriko in front of her that "Matsumoto Hitomi has died and the funeral will be held tomorrow."

Watanabe stared at her coldly. Saotome felt very uncomfortable at this moment. She realized that she must have said something wrong again. At least she must not reveal any bad news in front of Noriko.

However, the words had already been spoken, and there was no way to retrieve them even if Saotome wanted to take them back. She could only lower her head sullenly, like a little girl who had done something wrong.

Watanabe didn't even want to give her a glance. He is already a veteran actor, who is he performing for?

"What's wrong with Hazuki-chan? What happened? Why are you looking down?"

Curious, Kiko turned around subconsciously and saw her husband Watanabe typing on his cell phone. It seemed that he was contacting Haruka Hoshimi. Her sixth sense disappeared on its own. She asked more questions, but Saotome said nothing more.

She shook her head: "Let's talk about it next time. Since Kiko-chan and Mr. Watanabe have something to do later, I won't bother them and go home."

However, it was too late, and she really did as she wished, being dragged down by Saotome.

She had just gotten up from the sofa in her low-cut, hip-hugging dress, and before she could straighten her clothes and take a step, the doorbell rang again.

Watanabe gave Saotome a quick, cryptic look, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Just do your best! My child's stepmother!"

Watanabe stood up and held down Kiko who was about to get up, and said gently: "Kiko, don't go. You just ran a trip. Chat with our child's stepmother for a while. I'll go open the door."

Hearing her husband utter the word "stepmother" through gritted teeth, Kiko burst out laughing, while Saotome felt embarrassed and on pins and needles.

She regretted it very much now, and made Watanabe unhappy again...

Things kept piling up, almost as high as a mountain. Saotome looked at the mountain and sighed, realizing that she could not find any good remedies at all!

If I have to say, there is only one...

Saotome Hazuki looked at Shimizu Noriko who was beside her and touching her belly again. Her turning point lies in Noriko and the baby in her belly.

As long as she can ensure the safety of Kiko and the child, protect them from the crazy woman Mizunotsuki, Tsukimiri and Hidaka Mari, and ensure Kiko's safe delivery and the child's healthy birth into this world, she will be one of the biggest contributors and she deserves the title of "stepmother"!

Saotome is not sure whether the other women will take any action, but for Saotome, who was once her comrade-in-arms, the crazy women Mizunotsuki, Tsukimiri, and Hidaka Mari might get angry one day and target Noriko or even the child!

Saotome Hazuki asked herself, she absolutely could not just sit back and watch and let them do whatever they wanted.

Even if she had no intention of using her merits to win favor and wanting Watanabe Toru to treat her gently, Saotome could not let go just because Kiko treated her sincerely and the baby in her belly called her "stepmother"!

Saotome Hazuki has made up her mind that this time, she will never allow herself to fail again!

On the other side, Toru Watanabe had already opened the door to welcome Haruka Hoshimi back. Because the apartment was not spacious and the living room was next to the entrance, he could not tell Saotome about her presence, and it was not safe to tell her on Line.

But Watanabe knew that Haruka Hoshimi should know that Saotome had not come out since she entered his apartment. After all, the 24-hour endless surveillance outside the door was not for show.

Hoshimi Haruka tried hard to keep smiling, and turned around from the end of the entrance. She immediately locked her eyes on Saotome who was sitting on the sofa, and said in a surprised tone:

"Hmm? What a narrow road for enemies! I didn't expect to meet Miss Saotome here.

"And she's wearing such a sexy skirt..."

“…Hehe, long time no see, Lady Hoshimi Miko.” Saotome had the muscles on her forehead stretched as she acted with Hoshimi Haruka.

Watanabe Noriko listened to their greetings, looked left and right, tilted her head and said, "Yazuki-chan, and Hoshimi...Miko-sama? Do you know each other?"

Chapter 290: The Red Magatama Necklace of the Shrine, Kiko Blesses Hoshimi Haruka to Have a Son and a Daughter

Toru Watanabe found that his home was about to become a mess.

On the left is Noriko, who is still kept in the dark, and on the right are two actresses with superb acting skills. Toru Watanabe is almost confused about the purpose of their coming to his house and what they are going to do next.

How did it become such a chaotic situation now?

Watanabe Tetsuya blamed all the faults on Saotome Hazuki.

If she hadn't come to his apartment without prior consultation and refused to leave, how could things have been as troublesome as they are now?

A greeting and a warning would be enough. Fighting with the old woman Saotome in public would not only be ugly, but also damage her image. Hoshimi Haruka nodded and looked at Shimizu Noriko:

“Miss Saotome and I are both from Kyoto, and our families and companies have business dealings, so we can be considered acquaintances.

"You are Sister Noriko, right? I have often heard your name from Brother Toru these days."

Hoshimi Haruka openly called Watanabe Toru "Brother Toru" and also openly looked into Shimizu Noriko's eyes, staring at her face, not missing any subtle expression that flashed across her face.

She is virtuous, gentle, dignified and elegant, and especially beautiful. At first glance, there is nothing remarkable about her, but she is just right in every way. She is exactly the image of a girl that her brother Tetsuya Watanabe likes the most, and she perfectly meets all his fantasies about a wife.

No wonder my brother likes this woman in front of me, falls in love with her, and walks into the palace of marriage together...

Putting aside her appearance, Hoshimi Haruka's next move was to carefully sense whether Shimizu Noriko had any resonance with her. When the two were so close, even the immortal old woman in the Shimizu Shrine could not conceal the resonance of her subconscious deepest part.
