All Chapters of Do You Love Me, Uncle?: Chapter 261 - Chapter 270

"Ishida? Who is Ishida? Who is Abe?" Akiko frowned, hearing unfamiliar names come out of Kenji's mouth."Ishida… Wait a minute." Doubt crept back into Kenji’s mind, especially as he remembered how much pain Akiko felt whenever she talked about her parents."How?" Akiko, impatient, tried to sit up, but Kenji held her down gently with an embrace, stroking her head."Just stay like this. I need you close to me," Kenji said, wanting to think as clearly as possible."What are you trying to say? What do you want to tell me?" Akiko stayed still but was clearly curious about those strange names."All of those names are part of a promise I made. I promised to tell you what really happened—why you had to leave Osaka, right?" Kenji replied.Convincing Akiko to leave Osaka for over two months had been no simple task. All of Kenji’s attempts and lies had failed to sway her, especially with Akiko’s pregnancy drawing closer to its term.It made no sense to Akiko that Kenji would ask her to go far awa

Ishikawa's sharp gaze was uncharacteristic of him, given his usual calm demeanor. Among the other clans, Ishikawa was known for not demanding much. But of course, Kenji didn’t care. He bowed as usual, showing respect to his elders. Kenji also bowed to the stranger he was meeting in person for the first time.The man, older than Ishikawa, might have been scrutinizing Kenji—evaluating him—but Kenji didn’t need to return the same level of scrutiny because he already knew who the man was.The man with more wrinkles than Abe was Kawamoto, a member of the Tensei clan. Although he didn't come from the main family, like Abe, he remained one of the most influential.Kenji already knew who he was, having speculated and gathered information about the prominent families within Tensei. Kawamoto was one of them. Kenji’s prediction wasn’t far off—Kawamoto would be Abe’s successor.And they were the only ones t

Akiko slowly adjusted the blanket covering Natsu’s body. She had wanted Natsu to get a little sunlight, but the spring morning sun wasn’t very bright, and the air had turned too cold. So, Akiko decided to pull the blanket snugly around Natsu again.Natsu squirmed in protest, feeling confined once more, but didn’t cry. The child was very calm.Yui had mentioned there were still a few weeks left before Natsu would become a disturbance to their peaceful sleep. Yui advised Akiko to rest while she could before that time came.Akiko smiled as she watched Natsu yawn, his little red lips puckering adorably.“You’re so handsome,” Akiko said, gently tracing her fingers around Natsu’s lips to check if he was hungry. But Natsu closed his eyes again—Akiko had just fed him about half an hour ago.Akiko felt grateful once more for her abundant breast milk. Yesterday, Akiko expressed concern when she obs

Karin actually wanted to respond to Kenji's objection, but the words got stuck on her tongue when she saw Akiko's hand gesture calming Kenji.The gesture wasn't obvious, but Karin's eyes followed every detail of how Kenji closed his mouth because of that small touch. In truth, that small gesture hurt more than Kenji's words, making her realize even more that from the beginning, she had no chance to be with him.Karin accepted the marriage, believing Kenji would eventually turn to her, which made her act like the perfect wife at the start of their marriage.Kenji never spoke harshly or yelled at her, let alone insulted her outright, and Karin thought that behavior was a positive start. But now she realizes that Kenji wasn’t being kind back then. He just didn’t consider her important enough to pay attention to.It was the epitome of neglect, far worse than anger or harsh words. If he had become angry or uttered harsh words, Kenji would have at l

Akiko helped tighten the baby wrap around Shogo's shoulder and smiled contentedly. Natsu was now in a secure position. Shogo was the eldest woman in Kuryugumi at the moment, about seven years younger than Masaki.For the Omiyamairi ceremony—the baby's first visit to a shrine when they turn 100 days old—Natsu was supposed to be carried by his grandmother in front of the altar, but that was, of course, impossible. Therefore, Akiko asked Shogo to stand in for her. Shogo was overjoyed and had been playfully teasing Natsu, making his eyes widen with delight."His eyes are just like Nidaime’s. Sandaime doesn’t resemble him as much, but little Natsu-chan has Nidaime’s face too."Akiko could only smile at the comment and deliberately avoided letting Shogo get a closer look at his eyes. Akiko knew that Natsu’s eyes closely resembled her own, which would make explaining her relationship with Masaki a bit tricky
