⇢ Chapter 19.

"What the hell were you thinking meeting that bastard?! Why didn't you tell me?" Hisashi yells at Shota after finding out that he met with Kai. After the meeting, Shota went back to Tensei office to drop off the recorder and tell him what Kai said. Unfortunately, the part where Kai said he doesn't want Eri wasn't caught on the recorder so Tensei can't use it.

Shota texted Hizashi that he met Kai and then the moment he walked in the house Hisashi started yelling. "I'm sorry, it was all so quick. I wasn't even going to tell Tensei until Touya told me..."

Hizashi cuts off Shota, "Wait, what? Touya was here?"

"Yeah, he came to get some sugar and I gave it to him," Shota says.

"Wait, sugar?! Like sugar sugar or like 'sugar'." Hizashi says as he tries to demonstrate. Shota stares at Hizashi, thinking if he should smack him or kick him.

"I'm gonna ignore that whole weird thing you just did, and actual sugar, dumbass. You're the only one who gets my sugar, but after that, I don't think I want to give you anything." Shota says as he walks in the house.

"Shota! Okay, I'm sorry for asking, but I find it weird how you guys get along. But, that's beside the point—why would you agree to meet with him? I'm glad you told Tensei, but you should have told me" Hizashi says as he held Shota hands.

"I know, and I'm sorry. I should have told you, but I thought I could talk to him. Maybe use our past to guilt him or something. But I realized he is still the same. If not, worse. He doesn't even want Eri, he just wants to break me." Shota says as he lets Hizashi's hands go and hugs him. "He twisted. He doesn't care about anyone but himself. He will ruin her Zashi, she can't go through that" Shota whispers.

"He won't, we won't let him." Hizashi said as he hugs Shota even tighter. They just stood there for a few moment until Hitoshi and Eri walked in.

"What's wrong?" Eri asks when she see her dad and papa hugging sadly.

"Nemuri was being mean to daddy so we gotta go beat her up," Hizashi says as he covers Shota so Eri doesn't see him crying.

"Who you gonna beat up, loud mouth?" Nemuri asked as she walks in with their dinner.

"Oh Shit!! Hey, Nemuri, how you doing?" Hizashi says as he realized he fucked up and about to get his ass kicked.

"Pops was saying he can whip your ass. How you made dad cry and how you're an evil old hag. And how your tits are fake and Yuu is only with you for the money." Hitoshi lies as Hizashi stands there in shock on how he is getting thrown under the bus.

"Wha.. What I never said that!! Right, Eri?!" Hizashi asked as he tried to save his life.

"Well.... Daddy always said lying isn't good.." Eri said as she realized Hizashi just lied about why Shota was sad.

"If you tell me why Daddy is REALLY sad, I'll help you..." Eri says with a little smirk.

"I'm getting beat by a kid.." Hizashi whispers to himself. "Fine, you win monkey. Daddy is sad because someone from his past is back and he said some things to daddy to make him sad." Hizashi explains to Eri.

"What! Who? My fake dad?" Hitoshi questioned.

"What that bastard said now?! I'll fucking rip his damn face off that fucking little dic—" Nemuri unable to finish as Yuu shoved a tissue in her mouth

"Sweetie, language,"

"Thanks, Yuu. And, no, not that bastard... some other one. I'll tell you all later, I just wanna lay down.. I'm tired." Shota said as he rubs his head and walks to his room.
