  「ただいま」の言葉が欲しくて....
  I wanted the words “I'm home”...
  どなたかがレビューしたようにHQには珍しく（？）地味な富豪のお話しｗ?それでもクライアントに呼び出される以外は仕事的には結構自分を優先できる地位にいることは確かなCEOという設定で、代理出産をした亡き妻の友人であるヒロインとの関係の土台としている。まぁ代理出産を望んだのにその言い出しっぺの妻が亡くなり、二人の関係がお金で解決する方向にいっていないだけでも良心的...だけどその不安定さがマタニティ―ブルーズのヒロインには辛い。ヒロインはその成育歴を考えると、3人の子育てで手をあげないのが不思議なくらいだが、非常に理知的で感情に走らないように自分を自制している。その姿がウジウジしているように見え、読み手側に焦燥を感じさせて共感を呼べないところにHQとして難があるかもしれない。しかし子育てで何が一番必要かと言えば愛着で、それをヒロインは子どもたちにちゃんと与えていた。実はヒロインこそ愛着を待ち望んでいる「小さな子ども」で、不安の根はそこ！?煮え切らないヒーローだったけど最終的にはヒロインの本当の姿に気づいてくれて良かったと思う。

  As someone reviewed it, it's unusual for HQ (?) a story about a sober millionaire lol? Nevertheless, the fact that he is in a position where he can prioritize himself quite a bit in terms of work other than being called by a client is set up as a reliable CEO, and it is the foundation of the relationship with the heroine, who is a friend of his late wife who did surrogacy. Well, even though she wanted a surrogacy, the wife who started that statement passed away, and it's conscientious that the relationship between the two isn't going in the direction of being resolved with money... but that instability is painful for the heroine of Maternity Blues. Considering her upbringing, the heroine is almost strange that she doesn't raise her hand in raising 3 children, but she is extremely rational and controls herself so as not to run into her emotions. There may be difficulties as an HQ where that figure seems to be uneasy, and it makes the reader feel impatient and does not evoke sympathy. However, when it comes to raising children the most, it was attachment, and the heroine properly gave it to the children. Actually, the heroine is the “little kid” who is waiting for attachment, and that is the root of her anxiety!? He was an unbearable hero, but I'm glad they finally realized the heroine's true form.

  いい年したヒーローが余りにも不甲斐なくてイライラする。信頼度が低いのは己れの所業のせいだと気付くの遅すぎる。

  It's frustrating because the good old hero is so unfortunate. It's too late to realize that my low level of trust is because of my work.

  良い話！
  good story!
  This review contains spoilers. とっても良い話でした、なんども裏切られて不安になる気持ちがすごくわかるし、共感できる部分がありました。

  This review contains spoilers. It was a very good story; I really understood the feeling of being betrayed and anxious over and over again, and there were parts I could sympathize with.
