Chapter 255 The Tomizawa Family: A Loving Father and Filial Son
Sonoko Suzuki looked quite surprised. She recognized Yuzo Tomizawa, but had no idea he had two older brothers: "Yuzo-nii, you have older brothers? How come I've never seen them at banquets before?"
Tomizawa Yuzo scratched his head. He should say it was because none of the three brothers wanted to properly inherit the family business; at most, they coveted the inheritance, so most of them were rather rebellious.
Compared to his two older brothers, although he also has his own comic book career, he is neither completely immersed in writing novels like his eldest brother, nor does he get engaged to a woman of unknown origin like his second brother.
Moreover, because he was about to marry Ayako Suzuki, his father was becoming more and more satisfied with him.
Fortunately, Xiaolan inadvertently spoke up to defuse the situation: "Has everyone arrived?"
Yuzo Tomizawa breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "My two older brothers won't arrive until tomorrow, but Dad should already be at the villa."
After saying that, he took out his phone and dialed the landline number at his villa.
"No one's answering? What time is it?"
Conan glanced at his watch and answered first, "It's 3:10 now."
"That's strange, Dad should have arrived at three o'clock."
Sonoko Suzuki suddenly ran off, waving as she went: "Now that I know Uncle Tomizawa is here, I can't stay on the beach any longer. I have to go say hello to him."
With no other option, the group had to follow Sonoko Suzuki back to the villa, change their clothes, and then meet and greet the owner of the other villa.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, she saw a man around sixty years old talking to Ayako Suzuki with satisfaction.
Tomizawa Yuzo exclaimed in surprise, "Dad—Dad?!"
Tetsuji Tomizawa laughed and said, "Yuzo, I've already come here by myself."
The kind and honest man was clearly unhappy with his father's domineering behavior: "Honestly, I already said I was bringing Ayako to see you later, and I asked you to wait for me at the villa?!"
Tetsuji Tomizawa waved his hand dismissively: "Don't say that. I just want to try your future wife's cooking tonight."
There was no other way. Since Tomizawa Tetsuji had come to the Suzuki family villa, and the two families had not yet officially become related by marriage, and the head of the Suzuki family was not present, the two sisters had to entertain him together.
With Sonoko Suzuki not around, they couldn't go out to play and could only pass the time at the villa.
Fortunately, whether it's out of genuine love, a desire to cultivate one's character, or simply to appear cultured, wealthy families always have a study filled with all sorts of books, even if they only visit the villa occasionally for vacation.
So Akutagawa Hiko wasn't actually that boring.
Moreover, the weather is really not good right now. It seems that due to the passing of a typhoon, the weather has changed drastically in a short period of time, and the waves at sea are not small. There is still a certain risk in playing at the beach now.
The sound of a baseball game was deafening, perfectly matching Akutagawa's stereotype of elderly people watching TV. Apart from the head of the Tomizawa family, no one else seemed to care about the game.
It was clear that this man had made the atmosphere awkward for quite some time. Tomizawa Yuzo smiled apologetically at the group and then turned to his father to complain.
"Dad, even if you're a fan of Kagoshima Air Force, there's no need for you to stay here and watch forever."
Actually, Tomizawa Tetsuji also wanted to leave after dinner, mainly because he didn't have much in common with these younger people.
If Tomizawa Yuzo hadn't said he wanted to introduce Suzuki Ayako to his family and prepare for their future life together, he wouldn't have come all this way alone.
However, his satellite TV couldn't receive a signal, and he really didn't want to miss the exciting game, so he had no choice but to come here to watch TV for free.
It's already nine o'clock, and it's obviously impossible to continue broadcasting the baseball game that has been intermittently suspended for some time due to the heavy rain. Now it's evening news time.
It was clear that Tetsuji Tomizawa was very unhappy with this ill-intentioned news interruption; his thick eyebrows twitched and trembled incessantly.
Just then, Ayako Suzuki came out pushing a stroller and was met by Tetsuji Tomizawa's expectant expression: "Ayako, do you have a radio at home?"
Conan, a concerned citizen who was reading a detective novel, glanced at the timetable on the table: "Uncle, it seems this game isn't being broadcast on the radio."
Tomizawa Tetsuji's face immediately fell, and Suzuki Ayako quickly brought him a cup of coffee to comfort him: "Uncle, don't look so sad. It's only a five-minute break. A cup of coffee will make it all go by."
"That's really nice, the young lady of the Suzuki family has excellent manners."
After taking a sip of his coffee, Tomizawa Tetsuji said to his youngest son, "Yuzo, you're really lucky to have married the eldest daughter of the Suzuki family."
Tomizawa Yuzo was very dissatisfied with his father's words. What did he mean by being lucky? He was able to marry the eldest daughter of the Suzuki family. It wasn't because of her status that he married Suzuki Ayako.
"I didn't marry Ayako because she's from the Suzuki family; I just liked her, nothing more!"
Relationships between people of similar social standing are more likely to last, but the prerequisite is that there must be feelings involved. Only with Suzuki Kanako did he learn what love tasted like.
As a result, his inspiration for drawing comics has been overflowing lately, and he has received unanimous recognition from editors and friends in this field.
Ayako Suzuki walked over to Yuzo Tomizawa with a smile, acting as a mediator between the father and son. She gently took Yuzo Tomizawa's hand, her face full of tenderness.
"Of course I believe that, but being the eldest daughter of the Suzuki family is also my identity, a part of who I am. You also love me as the eldest daughter of the Suzuki family, right?"
Tomizawa Yuzo blushed slightly: "Ayako—"
Tetsuji Tomizawa snorted and turned back to watch the match, which had resumed its live broadcast.
This time, however, he was clearly less engaged and began to introduce his two sons, though he didn't say anything nice about them.
"My eldest son, Taiyi, insists on not following in my footsteps and wants to become a novelist. He is still single. My second son, Daer, although he works in a company, is actually engaged to a woman of unknown origin."
Tomizawa Yuzo still valued brotherly affection: "Dad, please stop talking badly about my brothers."
It would have been better if he hadn't spoken, but once he opened his mouth, the anger spread to him, making them seem like a loving and filial family.
