The lunch meeting came to an end, and Reiji finally felt more relaxed after meeting Eden's mom. As they stood together outside the restaurant, Lili looked at them with a smile.
Lili: "You both look so good together."
Reiji blushed slightly while Eden reached over and held his hand. Lili got into the car, rolling down the window before she left.
Lili (warmly): "Take care, my babies. We'll meet again soon."
Reiji and Eden waved goodbye as the car pulled away. Once it disappeared from view, Eden turned to Reiji with a playful smile.
Eden: "So, what do you think of my mom?"
Reiji (smiling): "She's so cool and sweet."
Eden chuckled, teasing him.
Eeden: "My bride was so shy in front of his mother-in-law."
Reiji (flustered): "Shut up—I wasn't shy!"
Eden (grinning): "You were."
Reiji: "Was not."
Eden slipped his arm around Reiji's waist, pulling him a little closer.
Eden: "You looked beautiful today."
Reiji quickly pushed him back, whispering in embarrassment.
