Sixteenth Chapter

With that, temporary goodbye.

Watching the car of Esme speed through the road, John stood there.

Its really not speeding,vi more like faster than carriages. Its an ancient car, she rode.

"I cannot believe it! In 24 hours, i got reborn, possessed an Earl's heir, time travelled, got super powers, survived titanic then got a freaking super super gorgeous, walking calculator and quirky girlfriend!!!!" He said to himself without taking another breath.

"Its just the end of 1st Volume and i already got a girl. The author is kind and very considerate. He must be supported by the readers. Must be. Yeah." John added.

"I must have exhausted all my luck now, right?" He cant help but wonder.

"All things go downhill from this point? I certainly hope not."

"Okay...now where to go???" John do not know what to do next, there's no manual on possessing a person and time travel.

"In doubt...always go North...." he determines where the north is.

"Not the ocean. South then." John decides to bravely take his first step to the next stage of his journey.

"Aunti Finna, you look happy? A ship just sunk. It ought to sunk though the moment it hit Altantic, the stupid shipbuilders did not account the reaction of the steel used in extreme negative freezing waters." She explains how Titanic sunk just by observing it.

"Milady.. It was really unfortunate. Thank God you are all right. And Milady, i have not seen you giggling in a long time since you were a child." Finna expressed.

"I am all right. I dont giggle. Giggling are for girls." She deadpan said it.

"So you say. Hehe. Milady, you got to send telegraph to the Lady and the Lord."

"I will. Later. Auntie Finna, are you familiar with mermaid lores?" Her eyes on the filthy streets of Manhattan where people going to and fro to toil for the day.

"Arent they fairy tales from books? Half human half fish. Brother's Grimm fairy tales."

"Yes. They have a whimsy bit imagination. Do you reckon that they have blue skin?"

"I dont know, they are lores afterall." Aunti Finna tucks in Mary.

"Yes. Lores, afterall." Esme's eyes sparkles.

"Milady, are u going to adopt this child?" She added.

"She have relatives in Mayfair." Esme shifted her gaze to Mary, she reveals a geniune smile.

"Too bad, she likes you."

"How do you know? Did she speak in your mind???" Esme moves closer to peek at Mary. She is messing with Auntie Finna.

"Chuckle. No. If anyone can speak to minds, it should be you. I know because she smiles when she looks at you."

"Eh? That's unscientific at all. Wait. If i have considerable numbers of baby. Watch their eyes." Her face brightens.

"This calls for an experiment!"

"Ugh." Auntie Finna, even tho she is used to see the quirkeness of Esme, still time to time gets surprised.

"Now. Where is the place where there are considerable number of babies. A hospital. Auntie. Driver... To the hospital." She prompted. Her face full of determination and adventure.

"Milady no...not today. You have to rest. You just experienced a tragedy."

"Ah. Yes. Another day. Hmm. Should we offered John a ride? Maybe he got lost?" Her brain cannot stop working. She have that thoughtful look.

"Perhaps milady." Finna smiles only.

"Well, he insisted otherwise. If he got lost, it his fault." She shrugged and looks at the horse drawn couch they just passed by.
