Chapter 18: Marriage?

The next morning, Arthur got up early, after the restless night, Arthur took a shower and turned to see the woman who was lying fast asleep in bed.

Seeing her so defenseless, Arthur frowned, he didn't know what was happening, there were many things he wanted to confirm.

He needed an answer and to know if what he experienced was a dream, after all, that world was very realistic, a gigantic world with people of various races living in it, it was too much to be a simple one-night's dream.

(Have I gone crazy? Do I need to go back to therapy?)

Thinking of his sexy psychologist, Arthur put a hand to his chin and thought it wasn't a bad idea, at least it would ease his worries a bit.

(Hm? Why are there women's clothes in my closet?)

However, his doubts were getting stronger, after all, he lived alone, so he should not have women's clothes in his house, but now more than half of his closet was full of women's clothes, fortunately, his closet is big otherwise, Arthur fears that all those clothes would not fit, with that, that closet that he could never fill, was at the limit.

"... !!"

After getting out of the bathroom and getting ready for work, he is a respectable doctor, after all, several lives were in his hands.

Arthur widened his eyes, after all when confirming the date on his Smartphone, he was surprised ...

[6:45 AM, April 24, 2024]

"What's going on? ..."

Not only had he awakened, but he woke up 2 years in the future.

He was supposed to die in the year 2022 ...

"This is not a dream...."

That's right, if it was a dream, then he would wake up quietly in the year 2022, but now ...

There were many things that he needed an answer to ...

"Mom Dad!"

However, the voice of a child beyond the door was heard ...

Hearing this voice, Arthur became confused again.

However, before Arthur could react, the door to the room was opened and a blond boy of about 4 years old rushed in.

"Up! It's already daytime Mom!"

Like an innocent energetic child, not caring in the least for the privacy of an adult, the child pulled the blanket that covered Aina's body, revealing her naked body.

"Dad ... Mom doesn't want to get up"

But the boy didn't care about this, as he started jumping up and down and looked up at Arthur as he pouted.

And honestly, Arthur did not know what to say, as he remembers, he has no children living at home and much fewer children ...

(Who is this kid?)

Frowning, the boy's face looked familiar, to begin with, this child was not his son, at least not his with Aina, both Aina and Arthur have black hair and eyes, this boy is blond, not to mention the age of the child, it is impossible that it is his son.

(He is Aina's son!)

Fortunately, it did not take him long to remember, after all, Arthur was the one who delivered four years ago, this child is Aina's son with that idiot.

(Now it all makes sense, no wonder his hair is blonde, but ... What is he doing at my house?)

Let Arthur remember when he wanted to have sex with Aina, he always used his house or some hotel, he also made sure to pay a babysitter to take care of the child, like it or not, Aina is a mother now, not just any woman who could have fun and was not an insensitive man to neglect the child for a night of pleasure.

However, he never brought the child to his house, after all, he is not his father, and he never pretended to be, he always drew a line that he should not cross, so even though he played with the child, he did not take the initiative to be closer. For Arthur, this child is just one of the dozens of deliveries he attended as a doctor.

A child that he brought into the world.

But now this child is in his house, this touched the limit Arthur had towards Aina and from how familiar he was, this child must have lived here for some time.

"Hm? Joel? How many times do I have to tell you not to wake me up like this!"

With all the movement of the bed and the noise of the child, Aina couldn't help but open her eyes and discovering that her body was naked, she quickly took the blanket, while reprimanded her son.

She had had sex last night and for her son to see her like that, she was not a good image of a mother.

Yet the boy was too young even to understand why his mother was naked.

"Liam honey ~ can you take Joel to the kitchen? I need a shower"

"Hm ..."

Nodding, Arthur took the boy by the hand, he was still very confused and honestly did not have the energy to speak, so he led the boy out of the room.

"Dad ... why doesn't Mommy wear clothes?"

The curiosity of children is great and a headache for adults, now Arthur knew why ...

-------------

After that awkward moment, Aina under finished bathing and went down to the kitchen, the three of them had breakfast, however, this situation did not keep Arthur worried, there are many things that he does not understand.

Two years of his life are in white, Arthur does not remember absolutely anything of what happened in these two years, besides that Aina and her son now live in his house.

(I need information)

"Thanks for making breakfast dear ~"

"No problem"

Arthur learned to cook from a young age, living alone with his father the situation forced him, so it was natural for him to cook, otherwise, he will starve.

His situation is strange, but also somewhat nostalgic.

"Open your mouth ... Ahhh ~"

After all, Aina was feeding her son, while a happy smile formed on her face, this made her beauty even more dazzling, like a model.

(That smile...)

For some strange reason, this smile on Aina's face caused an unpleasant memory to appear in Arthur's mind.

After all, if you remember correctly, this smile and expression is the same as Aina did when she was with that idiot, a smile that she never showed on her face when she was with him since Aina always showed her face. cold of her.

"Now to dad!"

"Hehehe dear say ... Ahh ~"

Smiling, Aina took the fork again and brought it to Arthur.

Seeing that it was useless to refuse, Arthur accepted her gesture silently.

"Liam, the wedding dress arrived yesterday afternoon, do you want to see it? Also, the preparations for the Banquet will be ready tomorrow"

However, Aina's words were like a bomb for Arthur, who even choked on his food.

"Cough ... cough ..."

"What's up, dear? Are you okay?"

Seeing Arthur coughing, Aina quickly reached for a glass of water, just like a loving wife would.

"Cough... I'm fine ... What about the wedding dress?"

Yet for Arthur, her words were his greatest concern.

"The one we requested a month ago ... Don't you remember?"

(Of course not!)

One month? What kind of dress takes so long to make? Besides ... Wedding?

What the hell is going on?!

"Will someone in your family get married? Or is it for a friend?"

Honestly, Arthur was afraid to ask this question, for some strange reason he already knew the answer, but still, he had to confirm ...

"Hahaha"

But what he received was Aina's laugh.

"What a funny joke, Liam ~ ... We are the ones who are getting married"

And just as Arthur suspected, the situation is not good.

-------------

(What the hell is going on...?)

After breakfast, Arthur could no longer stay in that house, not with that woman there.

So he fled, with the excuse of going to work, he had to find an answer.

And he thought that at least at work, his mind would calm down.

What a terrible mistake ...

Since he arrived, his fellow nurses and doctors congratulated him on his early marriage.

This upset him more, fortunately, he also found the answer he wanted.

One of his nurses, with whom he had a relationship in the past, kindly explained.

Apparently, he will marry in three days. His wedding invitations had been circulating for a month, and according to gossip, Arthur lived with his fiancée for more than 8 months.

This also explains why the boy knew very well about the house and why women's clothes were in his closet.

"I still can't believe it, Dr. Liam ~ as I recall, you are not someone who goes back to his old girlfriends"

Smiling provocatively, the sick woman slightly revealed her cleavage to provoke him, however, she was right.

Arthur did not return to those who abandoned or betrayed him, including this nurse, Arthur there was no reason to trust someone who betrayed him again, not to stumble over the same stone.

In the past, Arthur had also dated women with children and he knew that for the relationship to work, the man had to love both the boy and his mother.

But as always, these relationships were of short duration, women did not know how to differentiate between maternal love and the love of a couple.

Since most of them used it as a wallet, especially those who had financial situations.

"I am also confused"

"Really? But, Dr. Liam, she sure had it easy ~"

For men, the biggest obstacle in conquering a single mother is always the child, children are always a barrier where many men tend to fail.

However none of that applied to Arthur, after all, when he delivered, Aina made a great effort to seduce him and Arthur, I take this opportunity to have a piece of the cake, it may be immoral and unethical, since Arthur was only Allowing himself to be carried away by his desires and all the love he had for that woman, he died a long time ago, but it was the same Aina who allowed it, the proud woman who always kept cold had yielded.

That is why since Joel was born, Arthur maintained a close relationship with his mother, because of that, the child tended to mistake him for his father and was very attached to him, not to mention that Aina urged the child to recognize him as the father of he.

This of course made Arthur stay away from the child and draw the line.

He did not want the child to get the wrong idea, at the same time he was also very clear with Aina, he no longer loved her, he made his intentions clear from the beginning that she was only a sexual partner and that any other reason must be discarded, but because of this, Arthur also made sure that Aina's home is warm and kept special attention on Joel, illnesses and all the attention that a baby should have, even late at night, Arthur did not hesitate to help, when the child needed medical attention.

It seemed that Arthur still loved Aina, however, this was not the case, he simply fulfilled his part of the agreement, so Arthur continued looking for love, because of that, Aina witnessed seeing Arthur go out with other women.

But what could he do?

Arthur was very clear, he no longer loves her.

But apparently, due to certain events concerning the child, the line that divided between love and responsibility was broken and Arthur proposed to Aina, who he did not hesitate to accept.

"It's not what you think ..."

"Really? Well anyway, congratulations on your wedding, Dr. Liam ~"

With those words, the nurse continued with her work, she was quite jealous of Aina, after all, she also wanted to marry, especially with a wonderful man like Arthur, at the same time I also regret how idiotic she could be.

She still remembers how beautiful and affectionate Arthur can be, romantic dates, always attentive to any difficulty or problem, and above all, he never disrespected her, during their relationship, Arthur did not cheat on her, he remained faithful to her and always took His opinion taken into account, even his family was delighted with him.

It was perfect... But she had to screw it up.

Fortunately for her, Arthur kept his mind calm and acted mature, as he knew the difference between personal and work. So the fear that she had of losing her job did not happen.

After all, no one would like to continue seeing the person who cheated on him, it is more if she is your employee, but Arthur did not complicate his life and did nothing about it.

Work is work, it's that simple, this is a hospital, hundreds of lives arrive every day.

That's why Arthur kept his cool and continued to work with her, as long as she doesn't do something unprofessional that requires a layoff, Arthur didn't kick her out of her.

(Well what's past is past)

But there was no medicine for regret, for a moment of pleasure, the time she spent with Arthur turned into a dream, after all, she cheated on him with another man.

A mistake that caused alcohol and the moment ...

(Aghrr! What a fool I was! I want to get married too!)

Shaking her head regretfully, the nurse knew this was useless, even as she tried to explain and get back to Arthur.

He did not leave her, things were more than clear, after all, only a few drinks were enough for a random man to take her to bed, she in the end turned out to be another woman who only saw Arthur as a wallet.

Surely if Arthur didn't have money, he wouldn't give her a second look.

Money kills angel faces ...
