Kasumi had married her current husband when Hazuki was already a child.
She had been a single mother, and after her daughter grew up a bit, she met her current husband. He seemed like a good man, so they started a family. She was very happy with her life—a well-behaved daughter and a gentle husband. It was her ideal family.
"Hello. You must be Hazuki's friends. Welcome! My name is Kasumi," the woman said with a warm smile. Her beautiful face and exaggerated, sexy figure were enough to make any man's jaw drop.
"You look so young, Ma'am. If we didn't know better, we'd think you were Hazuki's older sister," Alex complimented her with a grin. "You're so young and beautiful, Kasumi-san. I can't believe it."
"Oh my, you're exaggerating," Kasumi said, unable to hide her smile. Any woman would be happy with such praise, especially coming from a boy with such a unique, magnetic aura. She stepped aside. "Please, come in—"
Hazuki followed behind with "dead fish eyes." This jerk is showering my mom with compliments and completely ignoring me. Am I that much less attractive than her? Dammit!
She bit her lip, unwilling to lose. "Alex-kun, what about me? Don't I look pretty today?" She had to take the initiative.
"You're pretty too, Hazuki-san," Alex said casually. The contrast was painful: he had smiled like a flower at the MILF, but his tone with Hazuki was purely perfunctory.
Hazuki was fuming.
"Hazuki, it's our first time at your place," Kaede cut in to smooth things over. "I didn't know you lived in such an expensive apartment. Impressive."
"So what if it's an apartment... I'm more jealous of Rin. Having such a great boyfriend. I wonder if I'll ever find a guy like Alex-kun."
She sat down at the table, intentionally resting her large chest on the surface and sighing dramatically.
Hazuki, could you be any more obvious? The smell of 'green tea' is overwhelming, Kaede thought, her brow twitching. But her sister Rin answered earnestly, "Alex is the best. There is no better boy in the world."
Rin, don't answer her so seriously! You're basically inviting her to steal him!
"I think so too. It's a shame I didn't meet him first... but meeting him now isn't too late either. Right, Alex-kun?"
This girl really wants to seduce me, Alex realized. Fortunately, Kasumi brought over some black tea, interrupting her daughter's games. "It looks like you're all getting along. Please, have some tea."
Ma'am, where do you see us getting along?
Alex thanked her. He glanced over and saw the man of the house sitting on the sofa. He was holding a newspaper to hide his face, but his eyes were peeking over the top.
Specifically, he was leering at his daughter's massive chest and her sexy, hot figure.
Kaede and Rin didn't notice, continuing to chat with Hazuki. As for Hazuki, she likely knew her stepfather was watching, but she didn't care. In fact, she puffed out her chest proudly. When she saw Alex wasn't looking, she got annoyed again.
Finally, Alex looked toward the kitchen. The beautiful MILF had no idea about the bizarre dynamics in her own home. she was happily preparing food in her own little world.
Alex shook his head. What a freakshow of a family.
From the husband to the daughter, they were all twisted. The mother was the only normal one. To save her from the inevitable pain, I'll have to step in and 'rescue' this poor woman myself.
Alex stood up with his teacup and strolled into the kitchen. Hazuki wanted to follow, but Kaede and Rin grabbed her hands.
"WHAT?! Kaede, you're his girlfriend too?!"
Hazuki's attention was instantly diverted.
Meanwhile, Alex was alone with the mother. "Kasumi-san, do you need some help?"
"No need, Alex-kun. You're a guest. Just relax in the living room," Kasumi said, turning around from the sink with a smile.
"Kasumi-san, you really are a good woman," Alex complimented, stepping closer to her side.
"Oh, stop," the woman felt a bit self-conscious. A good woman... That was a bit of a heavy compliment. Usually, people said "good mom."
Kasumi felt the boy standing right next to her. His masculine scent filled her nose, making her heart race with a strange nervousness.
"It's a shame," Alex whispered. "You're a good woman, but your daughter is quite a bad girl."
"What?" Kasumi was shocked. She completely forgot the intimate distance between them as she turned to look at him. Hearing someone speak ill of her daughter to her face was...
"Alex-kun, what did you say?" Her brow furrowed, and her expression soured.
"I know it's hard to accept, but it's the truth," Alex smirked. "Didn't you notice? Hazuki invited us over specifically because she's targeting me."
"Targeting you?"
"I already have a girlfriend, and she's Hazuki's best friend. Yet she's doing this anyway... wouldn't you call that 'bad'?"
Alex didn't back away. Instead, he leaned into the woman's soft body, leaning forward until their gazes locked.
Kasumi felt a crushing pressure. He was just a student, a high schooler, yet her body felt unable to resist him. Her breathing became ragged, and she averted her eyes. "Best friends... your girlfriend is Kaede or Rin? Maybe you misunderstood, Alex-kun. And love... it's hard to say who is right or wrong."
"But Hazuki and I have only met once. We barely know each other."
"That..." She didn't know that part.
"She's only met me once, yet she's perfectly willing to expose her body to me and steal her best friend's man. Kasumi-san, do you think that's normal?"
He was so close. His chest was pressed against her, and she could feel his heat and his strong, youthful body. The vegetables Kasumi was holding dropped into the sink. Her heart was pounding.
"That... that really isn't good. I... I'll talk to her, Alex-kun..." her voice was soft and melodic. "Please... don't do this."
Alex smiled and took a step back, giving her room to breathe.
The MILF let out a sigh of relief, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear. Just as she gathered herself, Alex spoke again.
"It's not just Hazuki, Kasumi-san. Your husband has a problem too."
"What?"
"Haven't you noticed? He has very wicked thoughts about your daughter—his own stepdaughter."
"IMPOSSIBLE!!!"
The woman gasped, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Alex-kun, that kind of thing—"
"You really haven't noticed? How pitiful," Alex sneered. "If you don't believe me, you can test him yourself."
