"Wow, Natsuki-san… your wife is incredibly beautiful."
My mother praised Envi's looks, which instantly made her beam with pride.
"Just look at her long, flowing black hair and those uniquely colored eyes… and that elegant black dress she's wearing suits her perfectly. Naoko, you really are stunning."
Hearing that made Envi blush a little, though he quickly recovered, letting out a light laugh. "Hehe, it's a pleasure to meet you, Ayase-san. I've heard so much about you from Natsuki. You truly are a remarkable woman for enduring such difficult circumstances."
I was honestly surprised he could say something so… normal for once.
My mother smiled warmly at the compliment.
"Well then, Ayase-san, would you like to know some interesting facts about Natsuki? Hahaha, I promise you'll love them!"
I could already feel my blood pressure rising. I wanted to shut him up immediately, but Mother seemed genuinely excited to hear more.
"Haha, you're such a lively person, Naoko-san."
