Chapter 649: BRAVE AND CALM

Emi laughed a little at the look on his face.

She understood his feelings. Usually, teachers encouraged parents to be there for their children and give them all the time they wanted. But that was not realistic. Managing expectations was an important part of parenting, especially for the rich and powerful.

“Right now, you are feeling like you will do your best. But despite your best efforts, your life will get in the way. And if you act rashly now, you will cause her even more disappointment in the near future. At this moment, you need to look at your life and find what you can give her with minimal risks of heartbreak.” She said.

“Disappointments are inevitable. The best you can do is give her a little stability with regard to your love and attention. It is better to say you will have dinner with her once a week for a month and show up those four times than promise to be there every night and show up only two times a week.”

It sounded counterintuitive, but the picture of Misaki waiting at the table for five nights came to Yagi’s mind. It made him sad. And he knew it would happen if he promised it. His work did require him to keep late hours of the night.

He needed to think of something he could do to help him connect with his niece and give her a chance to build some trust. And it had to be something he knew he could keep.

Yagi nodded as he understood. “You are wise beyond your years, Teacher Emi.”

.....

Emi went back around her desk and started packing up her things. It was already too late to be in school. She needed to go home. She would probably not have enough strength to cook and bake, but she could still drink her wine and watch the latest episodes of her shows.

“You are not a bad student, but I will be watching your work. I will give you a test soon enough.” She joked.

“Oh, how long do I have to prepare for the test?” Yagi stood up, crowding the office.

Shio felt a little too small before the tall man, but she was not really uncomfortable. “It will be a surprise test. A pop quiz, if you will. You seem like someone who might cram the night before if I give you a timeline.”

Yagi laughed as he opened the door. He allowed Emi to walk out with her handbag before stepping out. Emi locked the office and looked up at Yagi. Their eyes met as they stood close breathing each other in for a long moment.

Emi licked her supple lips lightly with her pink tongue as her breath became short. Yagi followed the small movement with the eyes of a predator. His breath became a little heavier as desire built up in him. He lifted his foot, planning to step closer to the beautiful woman.

“Uncle...” A small voice spoke up from behind Emi with uncertainty.

Yagi stopped his motion and looked at his niece. She seemed worried and unsure while darting between the two of them. However, she still looked like she thought her uncle would do something bad to her teacher.

Emi turned around with a calm face. She betrayed nothing. For someone who was all but shaking a moment earlier, she was the face of calm and maturity. She was the perfect teacher.

“Misaki, I have talked with your uncle. I am sure the two of you will discuss the details later.” Teacher Shio said with a smile.

Misaki still looked unsure. “The details?”

“It is nothing world-changing. I want what is best for you. So does your uncle.” Teacher Shio added.

Misaki shifted her gaze to her uncle. “He does?”

Emi could not help laughing out loud. No matter how much of a little gangster Misaki was, she was still a cute child after all. And her confusion about her uncle was just too hilarious. But it showed that their relationship was not beyond salvation.

“Yes, and the best begins with you drinking fewer carbonated drinks.” Emi walked to Misaki and took the orange canned soda from the young girl.

“Hey! That’s mine.” The girl shouted.

Emi walked away while waving a hand behind her. She opened the canned soda and drank it as she left the two people.

Misaki sighed.

Another of the reasons that Teacher Shio was not defeated by the worst class in Blue Monarch Institute was because she was also a bit gangster. But more like a cool gangster no one saw coming because her moves were too smooth.

And her favourite move was taking snacks from her students and eating them right in front of them.

Misaki turned to her uncle and found him watching the disappearing figure with those scary eyes. She had seen those dangerous eyes before when one of the household staff members said something bad about her in the house.

But there was something different about these eyes. And her uncle was smiling a little. Please visit f𝑟e𝙚𝒘𝗲𝚋𝚗oѵ𝘦𝙡. c𝒐m

“What are you planning? I am warning you. You cannot hurt Teacher Shio.” Misaki said with false bravado.

She was not frightened of her uncle. He would never hurt her or do anything to harm her. But she never knew how to approach him naturally or say the right things. Her deepest and hidden wish was that they could be like a real family, a father and daughter.

She hoped that he would want to always stay with her, and not just because he wanted to fulfil a promise to the dead father she did not remember. So, she was always scared that she would say something that would push him away.

But no matter what she did, he always seemed out of reach.

She had tried to be the best niece she could be, but he never seemed to notice her. Then, she realised that he was not a normal guy. Even though she was not sure what he did, she knew he led a lot of bad people, and they feared and respected him.

A small part of her thought that maybe she should be more like him. Maybe, he would see that she was not a helpless child that was only a burden to him. Maybe, he would understand that she did not need him to protect her all the time, even from himself.

Unfortunately, when she was in front of him, she always turned back into a cowardly baby. She hated it. She wanted to be brave and calm like him.

She wanted to be unshakeable.
