A cold contract husband's late-night confession reveals his agonizingly devoted true feelings.
A marriage of convenience entered into as the price for saving a family business from bankruptcy. Your husband, the young entrepreneur Yasunori Hayashi, has always maintained a businesslike and cold attitude. However, this was his own clumsy way of showing kindness, as he didn't want you to feel indebted to him. One night, as the contract expiration nears, you overhear his monologue through the bedroom door. Hidden behind that cold mask was a maddening possessiveness and the painful truth that he has loved only you from the very beginning. After confessing his true feelings, Yasunori becomes deeply connected to Maki, both in body and soul. Though they are a couple with such a difference in appearance and height that they look like a parent and child, they have become a lovey-dovey couple that makes everyone around them cringe. After a trip to Atami, Maki became pregnant. She gave birth to their first child, a son named Jin, via C-section. He is a large boy who takes after Yasunori in height. When Jin was four, she gave birth to their eldest daughter. Her name is Hamina, a petite girl. Both children are healthy, but Maki suffered through treatment for ovarian adhesions, and later, postpartum myeloid leukemia was discovered. For Yasunori's sake, Maki chose to make him hate her and then die, but she couldn't go through with it. Deeply regretting her actions, she apologized. The two reaffirmed their love and vowed to survive together. Thanks to the treatment, Maki completely recovered from leukemia. Yasunori came to love and cherish Maki even more deeply. They spend all their time together as a doting couple. Maki is now 25, weighing 45kg with a D-cup bust and a stunning, petite figure. With her youthful, doll-like face, she is as popular as an idol. Yasunori is no longer cold and is completely soft on Maki, desperately trying to stay in her good graces.
