His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 299 - JUST A BEDROOM

Seiji led Akira to a bedroom on the first floor and opened the door for her. She walked in and looked at everything with her expressionless face.

The bedroom was designed perfectly for a modern young woman. The colour scheme was white, grey and light blue. The contemporary style was clean and sleek, giving the space a luxurious look. In addition, she could see that the décor in the room was high-end.

Seiji followed her into the room.

"What do you think?" He asked while looking at her face.

"It will do," Akira responded without a change in expression.

She thought the room was well-designed and executed. However, it did not match her preferences. She could not relax in such an environment. However, she was not certain whether she would be staying in this house for long. There was no need to make a fuss.

"We can have it changed if you don't like it," Seiji said.

Akira turned and looked at her brother. He was not displeasing to her eyes.

"Thanks, but it is not necessary."

Seiji did not push.

"Take a moment to get settled in before lunch." He said before leaving.

Akira nodded at him.

Seiji stepped out of the bedroom and closed the door softly. As he started walking back to the rest of the family, he caught a glimpse of the opposite bedroom. His eyes held a concealed anger as he took in the princess-like decoration.

When he had come earlier in the morning, he had asked the main butler about the sleeping arrangements made for his sister.

He had assumed that she would be sleeping in the best room on the first floor because it had the best view and atmosphere. Moreover, it had remained empty for years because Sayaka had always said that if Akira came back she could stay there.

Therefore, he was surprised when he was showed the opposite room. It had also been empty, but it was not as good as the other one.

Naturally, he asked about it.

"The design chosen was not suitable. There was little time to change so Madam Sayaka decided to redo the other room for the Young Lady." The butler paused. "Miss Hanae offered to stay in the other room so that she could be close to the Young Lady."

Seiji remembered those words.

At first, he thought it was not a big deal. He had assumed that there was something wrong with the furniture or the décor. However, after seeing a glimpse of the room, he had a feeling that things were not so simple.

His eyes narrowed a little in anger as he thought of the cold and impersonal room made for his sister. Even though it was tasteful, it did not have any personal touch.

Moreover, he had gained some understanding of Akira by just observing her a little. She was not a social or warm person, but she seemed to have the soul of a cute girl.

When he found the rest of the family, they were seated in the living room. The atmosphere was awkward with Hanae sniffing softly while holding her arm. Daiki looked angry while Sayaka looked crestfallen. Kaoru was comforting the weeping Hanae.

Kazuo and Chiharu did not look affected by the occurrences, although they showed a certain amount of concern on their faces.

"Mom, why did you change Akira's room and give it to others?" Seiji asked after observing the group for a minute.

Everyone was surprised by the question. Even Hanae stopped her soft weeping momentarily. Daiki also seemed surprised by the information.

"I decorated it a little childishly with a lot of princess motif. I realised later that I was designing a room for a young woman, not a little girl." Sayaka sighed.

"Then, why didn't you make changes or leave it empty?" Seiji pressed.

"Hanae felt it was too much to waste the effort. And if she stayed there, she could help out Akira." Sayaka explained.

"I don't think this is appropriate under the circumstances," Daiki spoke up in a heavy tone.

He understood that he would not be able to remove Hanae from the household for now, but he would not allow his daughter to be wronged. He did not believe that Hanae's actions were spur of the moment or childish pettiness.

He had felt some animosity from her to Akira since they had been at the train station.

"Uncle…" Hanae said before resuming crying.

Daiki's face darkened further. He knew that he looked like he was bullying a junior, but he did not care at this point.

"You have already admitted that you framed Akira. There is no need to be closer to her room. I doubt she will feel comfortable enough to ask for your help." He said while making it clear he would not allow for any opposition.

"I will make it up to her." Hanae looked at her uncle with a tear-washed face.

She felt like things were crumbling and falling apart right before her eyes.

She had always believed that she had a secure place in the Yamazaki family. However, it had taken only a single mistake for her to fall from glory. It was just as she had thought. Akira was going to take everything from her.

Even if it was a simple bedroom, she did not want to give it up.

When Sayaka had started coming up with a design, she had encouraged her to go with a princess theme with shades of pinks. She wanted the room to be completely unappealing to a twenty-two years old woman.

However, when the room was completed, it was perfect. Everything in the room was exquisite and perfect. It was still childish, and she did not like it. However, there was something attractive about it that made her want to have it.

So, she had placed some negative thoughts into Sayaka's mind about the design of the room. Then, she had 'generously' offered to move into the bedroom. Her goal had been to make the new girl understand that she was never going to become the little darling in the family.

How could she give up that room after putting in so much effort?

"Don't you already have a bedroom?" Seiji asked coldly.

The tension in the room rose to unimaginable levels.

"It is just a bedroom." Kazuo tried to be the peacemaker.

When Kaoru, Chiharu and Hanae wanted to agree with the statement, Seiji spoke first.

"Then, it should be no problem for her to leave Akira's room and move back to her old bedroom."
