"Mikey, you're here..." Koko's voice faltered, the discomfort was clearly seen.
"Emma's here too!" Emma's innocent interjection provided a brief respite from the adults' awkwardness.
"Are you okay?" Rindou's genuine concern was evident, contrasting sharply with Koko's muttered retort.
"Are you an idiot or what?"
Mikey chose to ignore the dynamics, leading Emma into the dining room.
"Mommy, Emma and Daddy are here!" Emma's cheerful announcement echoed in the room as she dashed towards Denise, who was setting the table with Guini. The executives observed Denise's composed demeanour, a stark contrast to the emotional turmoil of the previous night. Despite the tears shed and the harsh words exchanged, Denise appeared as if nothing had happened. Ran attempted to assist in the kitchen, only to receive a curt dismissal from Denise.
"Good job, sweetie! Sit down so we can eat," Denise said, smiling warmly at Emma. The executives, caught in the tension, couldn't help but wonder if the food was tampered with poison or anything, nervously swallowing the lump in their throats.
"Mommy, Emma wants seconds."
"Sure, sweetie."
"Auntie, Uncle Rinny says the food's great!"
"Thank you, baby. Tell him to eat and be quiet."
"Come on--"
The usual breakfast banter unfolded, easing the tension gradually. Yet, beneath the façade of normalcy, a silent tempest brewed.
Mikey's heart felt heavy, burdened by unspoken words and unresolved issues. He quietly finished his meal, placing his utensils down, signalling he was done eating. His gaze lingered on Denise, contemplating whether now was the time to bridge the chasm between them.
"Wife..." Mikey's voice was soft, a tentative attempt to breach the barrier Denise had erected between them.
"We can talk later," Denise replied calmly, her attention focused on feeding Emma.
