Really? He doesn’t have anything? Nei looks at Tsukiko.
Then, would you like me to talk on your behalf?
uugh The father groaned.
It’s useless to keep secrets when she’s here Momoko-neechan says with a smile.
It’s better if you consider that you can’t hide anything to Ruriko, Kou-chan, Seki-san, or me
Anna-sama, we will not reveal secrets to anyone outside this room. Please do not worry Shou-neechan told the father.
Ruriko and I, and Kou-chan will keep your secret safe too
Yeah, we’ll keep it safe and secret I promised the father. Then.
Erica may have noticed the truth about her birth. And I believe that she’s angry because we have been quiet about it all this time The father had no choice but to talk. Anna Erica-san looks at her Father quietly.
Ever since our marriage, we weren’t blessed with a child. We often come and go to the doctor, tried various methods, but, it doesn’t go well.and then, in the end, we had to resort to a surrogate birth Momoko-neechan and I weren’t surprised. That’s because Shou-neechan already told us this story. Anna Erica-san herself already knows the truth from the journal her Grandfather left behind.
Even if you say it surrogate birth, there are various ways to do it. However, the one we chose is to use our fertilized egg and put it inside the surrogate mother’s womb. Therefore, Erica’s born from the flesh of another woman, but, she definitely is our daughter Anna-san’s father insists.
Of course, Surrogate birth is illegal in Japan, so the mother had to give birth in America. The surrogate mother isn’t in the paper so legally, Erica’s our daughter The father looked at his daughter and speaks.
I’m really sorry for hiding it and not telling you! But, Erica, you’re my daughter, Kazumi and my. Anna Erica-san can’t endure what her father’s saying and is about to say something. At that moment;
Okay, cut! Nei intervenes. Then. Anna Kenichirou stares blankly into the air.
Father?
Dear? Erica-san and her Mother are confused with Kenichirou’s sudden change.
It’s okay, I only stopped his thoughts with my power Tsukiko said.
He doesn’t see anything. Hear anything. And when I resume his thoughts later, he will not know anything during the time I stopped his thoughts.
Meaning. Anna Kenichirou-san currently has his time stopped! Nei said.
As expected. Anna Kenichirou-san didn’t know the truth. That’s what we confirmed
What do you mean? Momoko-neechan asks Nei.
Well, Anna-sama’s mother, Kazumi-san, right? You’ll know when you ask her Nei smiled at the mother.
Please tell us! We know that Anna Erica-san’s born from a surrogate mother in America, but, whose semen was it on the fertilized egg? She asks cheerfully in this serious talk.
Who are Anna Erica-san’s real parents? The mother looked at her suspended husband.
Does he really not hear anything?
Yes, Anna Kenichirou-san’s senses are all cut off Tsukiko in her shrine maiden outfit replied.
Mother, please tell me. I want to know the truth from Mother Anna Erica-san asks her mother with a straight look. She already knows the truth from her Grandfather. Even so, she probably wants to know the truth to come from her mother’s mouth.
She was born when father-in-law was still lively The mother starts talking with a small voice.
It’s hard to make a fertilized egg with my husband, and so we used father-in-law’s seed instead. No, father-in-law gave such instructions Meaning.
We kept it a secret from my husband. Father-in-law used his sperm, and my egg cell, and placed the fertilized egg into a surrogate mother’s womb The mother speaks of the truth.
Then that means Erica-san’s biological father is her Grandfather Momoko-neechan said.
I see. So that’s why he adopted Erica-san as his daughter before dying to give her the equal inheritance as his son. She’s given the rights because she’s actually his real daughter Not his granddaughter, but his daughter. She’s left with half of the inheritance because she’s adopted.
Father-in-law was afraid that if my husband were to notice that Erica isn’t his daughter, then he might treat her horribly The mother said.
So that’s why she’s adopted, and the inheritance Anna Erica’s personal assets are all independent, even if she gets on bad terms with her Father.
My husband is truly happy that Erica’s born, and father-in-law doesn’t want him to know that it’s his body that can’t make a child. After some long time, all sorts of methods, we finally had a daughter.
He’s thinking that if his son was to discover that the daughter wasn’t his, but his father’s, then the love might turn to hate a hundredfold Nei said.
Yes, I believe so too The mother said. Erica-san’s listening quietly. Then, Shou-neechan;
We know the fact about Erica-san’s secret in her birth because the surrogate mother was affiliated with the Kuromori house Anna Erica-san turned to Shou-neechan in surprise.
Anna Erica-san’s late Grandfather was seeking in Kuromori house, to be precise, with Morimoto-san, the clerk of the Kuromori house, for a woman who can become a surrogate mother A woman who can stay in America and gave birth to a child in secret. Furthermore, a woman who is tight-lipped, and will never reveal secrets of their customers. If that’s the case, the prostitutes of the Kuromori tower are qualified. Anna-san’s Grandfather went to the Kuromori tower. Then, I see why he asked Morimoto-san to be the middleman.
Then, Morimoto-san introduced an ideal surrogate mother who had experience in giving birth a few years ago Shou-neechan said.
Is Takahata-san doing well? The mother asks.
I also had to pretend that I’m giving birth so I was with Takahata-san in America for half a year. Until Erica’s born. I was there for the childbirth, and so was Takahata’s little daughter. That would be Takahata Marika-san. 14-years-ago. Meaning. Anna Erica-san and Takahata Marika-san are sisters born from the same mother.
Takahata Youko-san is still alive and well, although, she’s been in poor health lately. As for her daughter, Marika-san, she’s in high-school now Erica-san listens to Shou-neechan’s report to the mother.
My, I see. I never met Takahata-san again after I took Erica to America. No, that was the arrangement so I had no choice, but. The mother said in loneliness.
Okay, cut! Nei gave the sign and Tsukiko used her power. Following the father, the mother’s thoughts also stopped. She’s now in a state of stopped time.
Tsukiko-san, did you check the mother’s memories? Is she not lying?
Yes. She told us honestly everything she knows Tsukiko tells us the state of the mother’s thoughts.
So, what do we do, Yo-chan? Nei smiles wryly.
I mean, Anna-san’s mother only told us half of the truth here, right? Chapter 1148. Approaching the Night Checking Answers 2 Chapter 1148. Approaching the Night Checking Answers 2
With this, even Anna-san’s mother only told us halfway to the truth, right? Nei says while staring at the Anna couple whose time is stopped in their thoughts because of Tsukiko’s Miko power. Anna Erica-san’s expression is stiff, she’s not saying anything.
What do you mean? Momoko-neechan asks Nei. Momoko-neechan doesn’t know anything ahead of Shou-neechan’s explanation after dinner. Shou-neechan’s a professional, so she doesn’t bring out unreliable information until she gets to the bottom of it. Also, we got the exact information from Takahata Marika-san while we’re on the move.
Erica-san’s mother thinks that the husband is the reason why they can’t make a child, but. Nei looks at Anna-san’s mother staring at the empty air with a blank expression.
You see, it’s actually the mother that has a problem. So, Erica-san’s late Grandfather.
No way? Momoko-neechan realized.
Yep, the grandfather explained to the father that the sperm and egg cell of the couple is fertilized and is placed on a surrogate mother, but that was a lie Nei said. Anna Erica-san’s father believed that explanation. Therefore, even if it’s born from a surrogate mother, he thinks that she’s his and his wife’s daughter. However.
