CHAPTER 680: CHAPTER 418: THE TASTE OF A BROKEN HEART_3

"It’s useful to me! At least it tells me what type of girls handsome guys like."

Uesugi Sakura stared at the coffee steadily dripping into the sharing pot in front of him.

"She’s very pretty."

...

...

...

Both girls were watching him.

"That’s... it?"

"That’s it."

"...Uesugi-san, could it be that you had a fight with your wife?"

"Why do you suddenly think that?"

"This morning, when you mentioned her, you kept daydreaming. Isn’t that what a fight looks like? Daydreaming means you’re thinking about her. Thinking about her makes you blank out. You don’t realize it, but I can see it very clearly."

Uesugi Sakura had to admit, a girl’s intuition is strong; she seemed to have guessed right to some extent.

Hearing what Towa Rina said, Kobashi Rikai looked at Uesugi Sakura’s somewhat distracted expression with curiosity.

Sakura: "..."

"About fights," Towa Rina said, "Ahem, regardless of who’s right or wrong, if you ask me, Uesugi-san, you should apologize to your wife sooner. What couple hasn’t had a fight? Maybe after arguing, the relationship might even get better, don’t you think?"

"I can’t... apologize right now." Uesugi Sakura placed the finished coffee on the tray, the brown liquid exuding wisps of steam.

"Just had a fight?"

"We didn’t fight."

"My intuition tells me that’s impossible."

"It’s true."

"Have you separated then?"

After a moment of silence: "We have separated." Sakura said.

"Hehe, I guessed right, didn’t I?"

Separated!?

Kobashi Rikai found it incredible to hear this.

To think, just a week ago, she saw the couple so in love by the seaside.

Could it really be like the rumors all girls have heard?

Even the happiest couples are forced to separate because of differences in opinions?

Her heart started to race for some reason.

If...if...if Uesugi-kun gets divorced because of this...

Then could it be that I...could I...

This thought only lingered for a moment in her mind.

Kobashi Rikai quickly brushed these chaotic thoughts aside.

No way, about Uesugi-kun...it’s just like a fan’s admiration for an idol.

Just admiration...

Kobashi Rikai breathed a sigh of relief.

Towa Rina continued:

"Isn’t it that, even if it’s not fighting, it’s a major issue where you have different opinions; at least it’s a cold war, right?"

Cold war?

Hearing Towa Rina say this, Uesugi Sakura also began to think about why Hanabi suddenly wanted to leave him.

It started as a year, then suddenly it was ten days.

There’s a feeling that she really wanted him to agree.

Could she use this excuse to never come back?

Hanabi... Hanabi...

Uesugi Sakura began to imagine her appearance in his mind.

She stood under the sunshine, holding her hat with her right hand, wearing a white dress and smiling at him openly.

Once a person has such a thought, they will subconsciously think of the worst-case scenario.

If she suddenly disappeared, what would he do?

Uesugi Sakura felt his old problem was flaring up again, afraid of never seeing her smile again.

He hurriedly picked up a rag to wipe the counter, trying to find something to distract himself from those thoughts.

...

At a window-side seat in the store.

Suzuki Ryo received the coffee handed over by the Cat-Eared Maid.

"Please enjoy, Master."

The aroma of the coffee was intense.

The barista was quite young, and he had some concerns about their skills.

But as he inhaled the coffee’s aroma, lifted the cup, and took a delicate sip, he was immediately won over by the taste.

Sour, sweet, bitter; all flavors were present.

Simply, it was just like the taste of heartbreak.

Though he had never been in love, he was very sure, certain that this was the taste of heartbreak!

Suzuki Ryo took another small sip, his mouth and body both expressing the word "content".

"Ah..." he couldn’t help but exhale a breath of admiration.

He put down the cup and glanced at Uesugi Sakura who was busy behind the counter.

This guy, his skills are undeniable, but he felt that his mood was as complex as the taste of the coffee.

Could it be, heartbreak?

Such a handsome person can also experience heartbreak?
