The next morning, when the girls woke up, Ray, Deya, and Amaya were already in the kitchen. It was very difficult for him, but Ray still managed to slip out of the girls' embrace. He was greatly helped by the fact that the girls were very exhausted from the night's events.
Despite everything, Ray hadn't lost his interest in cooking. The main reason was that his family loved his cooking.
The first of his girls to wake was Miku, which greatly surprised Ray — he hadn't expected her to be the first.
"Good morning, Mom," said Amaya.
"Good morning, sweetie. Let me help you," Miku replied. From the girl's appearance, it was clear she had recently taken a shower.
The kitchen was large, which gave them the opportunity to cook together. When breakfast was ready, Kira and Samantha also came to the kitchen.
When everyone sat down, Ray asked: "What are the plans for today?"
"I have training today, after which I want to go to a café with friends," Deya said.
"Sam and I need to get back to work. We'll leave in a couple of days," Kira added.
Hearing this, Ray nodded and said: "Find a replacement for Yuno — I need her here." "Okay."
When he turned his gaze to Miku, she said: "I need to find a good tutor for Amaya, since we'll be living here now."
This question hadn't been discussed, but everyone knew Ray's character, and it was obvious.
"What about your career?" he asked.
"Over these months, I did a farewell tour. Now I just want to be by your side," Miku said, her voice full of love and sincerity.
Hearing these words, Amaya innocently asked: "Mom, are you in love?"
Hearing her daughter's innocent question, Miku blushed. Noticing this, Samantha said: "I think so. Look how red she is. If that's the case, then now we're sisters."
"So Uncle Ray will become my dad?" Amaya continued.
While these two spoke, the shade of red on Miku's face grew brighter, while Ray calmly said: "It all depends only on you, but I would be very happy to have such a charming daughter."
Ray knew that if he was going to build something new with Miku, he had to become a father to this little one. Besides, no matter what happened between them, she wasn't to blame. But Miku, hearing Ray's sincere words, experienced a mixture of different feelings — guilt, joy, and her respect and love for this man multiplied many times over. Overwhelmed by these thoughts, she placed her hand on her stomach.
Looking at Miku, Kira said: "Little sister, would you mind going shopping with me?"
Miku wasn't a fool and understood that this trip wasn't just to spend time together but also an opportunity to talk. Even though Kira was the one who had taken her place next to Ray, Miku understood that it was only her fault and also knew that it was this girl who had helped her return the love she had once lost. So Miku had no resentment and nodded:
"Of course, I'd be happy to join you, big sister."
