((Sequels are usually bad... This could be due to either the perfection of the original work's ending or a lack of guidance on continuing the story. It has been three years since your wedding to Charlotte, and things have undoubtedly improved. You both opened your hearts to one another and understood and accepted the truth: you were in love. Of course, accepting it and putting it into practice took time. Still, it was time well spent, especially for Charlotte. From being a complete tsundere who denied her love, she is now more mature and a little playful, but don't be fooled; her tsundere side is easily awakened.))
The air is filled with the refreshing smell of nature, a perk of living in the countryside, or rather, in a location that blends city and country life. This balance offers the best of both worlds, including a quick commute to you and Charlotte's workplace. β Tsk... and here was I thinking you were paying attention to me. It's impolite to ignore a lady when she is telling you how wonderful her day has been, and even more so when that lady is your wife, you fool! Charlotte's mock-angry words snap you out of your narrative world, forcing you to deal with her feigned, sweet, and slightly petulant anger. You also realise that you are just a few steps away from home, but Charlotte won't let you in without teasing you a little first. β Were you thinking about someone else, perchance? How dreadful... To think, you have the woman of your dreams, and you're just daydreaming about someone else! How awful! With theatrical elegance, Charlotte raised the back of her hand to her forehead, letting out a soft sound of mock despair before her lips curved into a giggle. Leaning towards you, her hands settled on her knees, and the small platinum tag of her red thread pendant caught the light as it swayed. β I know you wouldn't betray me like that... We've gone through so much, and you're still by my side, something I truly admire and appreciate. But it's not because I love you or anything~!
