《HIS BELOVED WOMAN》Chapter 18
Advertisement
"We're here" Kaname stated
"Your grandmother's house is quite big for a single person to live" Yura uttered
"She has servants with her so she's not really completely alone" Kaname stated
As they got inside, Yura saw a woman in late middle-age sitting while trying to knit some fabric
"Your Highness, Prince Kaname is here with a companion" a servant stated
Yurika looked at their direction as she said "Kaname, my baby come here"
Kaname walked towards her and they hugged each other
"You have grown a lot" Yurika uttered with a smile
‘She doesn't looked old at all unlike my grandmother who is already 97 years old, she seems like she's still on her 60's’ Yura thought to herself as she gazed at her
"I want you to meet someone" Kaname stated
Kaname moved away from his grandmother and walked towards Yura then he held her hand and brought her to his grandmother
"Darling, this is my grandmother who raised me Yurika Aikawa" Kaname stated
‘Darling?’ Yurika thought as she gazed at them in surprise
Yura bowed her head towards her as she said "Nice to meet you Your Highness, I'm Yura Izumi"
Yurika suddenly got up from her seat and held Yura's head up while caressing her cheeks
Yurika gently smiled as she said "You don't need to be so polite towards me since I'm not really a queen or from a royal bloodline, why don't we go have some tea and talk"
Yura nodded her head as she said "It would be my honor um..."
"Call me grandma" Yurika uttered with a smile
They got seated at a booth near the pond while the tea is being serve
"I see that Kaname had fallen in love with a very beautiful girl" Yurika uttered with a smile
The moment Yura heard those words, she immediately bowed her head as she said "Thank you for your kindness grandma"
Yurika laughed at her actions as she said "Don't be so nervous around me although it makes you look adorable when you're all flustered"
Kaname smiled as he said "We agree at the same thing grandma"
Yura raised her head up and she couldn't helped but smile brightly at the sight of Kaname smiling happily with his grandmother

"It's nice seeing Kaname smiling happily with grandma" Yura stated
"Why didn't you tell me you already had a woman, you should have bring her earlier" Yurika stated
"I'm very good at cooking, do you want me to cook for you dear?" she asked
Yura happily smiled as she said "I would love it grandma, should I help you gather some ingredients for it?"
"There are plenty of ingredients in the kitchen already, why don't I just teach you how to make Kaname's favorite food so you can make it for him too" Yurika suggested
Yura looked at her in surprise as she said "Really?!, I would love to learn it with grandma"
Yurika laughed as she said "I didn't know that Kaname likes the enthusiastic kind of girl"
"I didn't" Kaname bluntly stated
‘Huh?, what do you mean by that?!’ Yura thought
Kaname smiled as he said "The kind of girl I like is Yura herself"
Yura immediately pretended to sip her tea to hide her shyness
Yurika just laughed at them both as she said "Jeez you know how to choose your words properly eh, why don't we go now dear?
Yura nodded her head in response and happily followed Yurika
‘Oh, I forgot Kaname’ Yura thought as she turned to look at him
Kaname who knows what she was thinking smiled as he said "It's alright, I have something to do so go enjoy yourself with grandma"
"Okay" Yura happily replied
The Yura continued following Yurika to the kitchen
"Grandma, what is this?" Yura asked
A minute later
"Ahhh, grandma how do you use this?" she asked
In the next second
"Am I doing it right grandma?" Yura asked
After a while
"Grandma I accidentally poured something in it, what should I do?" she worriedly asked
A minute later
"It's already done now, we should just wait for it to be cooked completely" Yurika stated
"Grandma you're so awesome, you single-handedly finished it without a problem" Yura stated
Yurika chuckled as she said "I had already get used to it but you're pretty clumsy yourself"
Yura awkwardly smiled as she said "I'm sorry grandma"
"It's alright, I actually find you amusing, why don't you tell me all about Kaname while he was with you" Yurika stated

Yura happily nodded her head as she said "Sure"
Time passed by, Yura and Yurika just talked about Kaname and the love story of Yurika and the late king while laughing at each other
"So grandma also has that
clumsiness" Yura commented with a smile
"I think it is done already" Yurika uttered as she grab a spoon and fill it with the soup and blew on it to warm it up
"Here, try it" Yurika uttered as she place the spoon close to Yura's lips
As Yura got a taste of the soup, she immediately smiled as she said "Grandma, it's so good"
Yura grabbed a spoon and also filled it with the other soup she cooked herself and blew on it then made Yurika tried it
"What do you think grandma?" Yura curiously asked
Yurika smiled as she said "It's delicious, it's a little salty but it had sweetness in it"
Yura tried it herself and she was satisfied although it was a little salty
"Grandma's dish is still the best!" Yura uttered as she gave her thumbs up
Yurika laughed then said "Go call Kaname while the servants prepare the table"
Yura nodded her head as she said "Okay"
While Yura was walking through the corridor, she spotted Kaname outside in the garden
"It seems like he just arrived" she uttered
Yura got out and walked towards him as she said "The food is ready, where did you go?"
"I was in the woods practicing archery, I'll go wash myself first" Kaname replied
On the dining table, the three of them gathered together and had dinner
"Your dish grandma is still good as ever" Kaname stated
Yurika smiled as she said "Of course, we both made your favorite dishes, why don't you try the other dish Yura made for you, it's also great"
"Don't say it that way grandma, you said it was a little salty" Yura stated
"Well if Yura made it then it will always be my favorite" Kaname stated
Yurika laughed and Kaname tried the dish Yura made
"It's very good, I like it" Kaname stated
Yurika smiled and gazed at Yura as she said "See didn't I told you dear, you don't have to worry if it doesn't suit Kaname's taste"
"I love it, it's much more better than grandma's cooking" Kaname stated
‘This guy is totally lying!’ Yura thought to herself
"You don't have to go that far, grandma's an expert and I'm nowhere near her level" Yura stated
"But yours is the best though" Kaname stated
Yurika laughed as she said "It's been so long since I laughed a lot"
"You know when we think of that person eating our dish while cooking then the food will also be full of love in it, if Kaname and I cooked for you whose dish would you love to eat the most?" Yurika asked
Yura looked down at the food and tried to think about it
"I guess I would love to try the one Kaname made but I still would have like grandma's dish" Yura replied
Yurika just smiled and continued eating
"I'm getting jealous, I should cook for your grandfather too" Yurika stated
Yura smiled as she said "He would have also love it a lot grandma"
Yurika smiled as she said "The feelings I had for Kaname's grandfather is only one-sided, he only married me for power"
"Grandma!, didn't I told you to forget him already" Kaname stated
"Kaname! you can't ever forget the one you love even if that person hurts you so much but I believe you can accept it and move on" Yura stated
"Has grandma already moved on from it already?" Yura asked
Yurika smiled as she said "Of course, I had already accepted it completely"
"Then grandma should just keep living happily" Yura uttered with a smile
Yurika gently smiled as she said "I am already contented of having Kaname"
"Just now, was darling mad at me?" Kaname uttered as he gazed at Yura
‘Uh oh, I did called his name strongly just now’ Yura thought
"I'm sorry, of course I was not mad at you" Yura stated
"I was just disappointed that it seems easy for you to forget the one you love, it would have taken a lifetime for me to forget you" she added
Yurika sighed as she said "You two are making me jealous again, I had prepared the room for you two so stay here and be comfortable"
Yura smiled as she said "Thank you grandma"
After dinner, Yura stayed in the room prepared for them while Kaname suddenly had gone somewhere
‘He is not back yet’ she thought
"I have to wash myself first before going to bed so that I'll have a comfortable sleep" she uttered as went to the shower room
