Chapter 20: Deception

Since the day Aina fell so low, just mentioning her name infuriated Jenna enormously.

For her, Aina was a mediocre woman, from the moment she made that mistake, she no longer saw her as an equal, but as a humble woman.

No matter what Aina did in the future, Jenna kept watching her from above, having a child with a useless man, being a single mother, giving up her pride, and seducing the one she threw aside from her.

That is why when Arthur asked about this, Jenna immediately told him the truth and that he would also play with her, as his heart desired, destroy his pride and then throw her away, there was no greater humiliation than the man who loved you, turned his back on you after playing with you.

Arthur followed his advice, but he too was principled and knew that he couldn't take things too far for the boy.

After I know everything, his son is innocent.

The mistakes of the parents are not the mistakes of the children, therefore, although he played with her as hers, her heart desired from hers, still, he sent her all the help that her child needs.

Jenna didn't like this, but she also understood that Aina is a mother now, so I trust Arthur.

So Jenna made sure to humiliate her, calling at precise hours and minutes when Arthur was with Aina, only to drop her halfway or in inappropriate 'lady' places.

Arthur always heeded her call and that was enough for Jenna to give Aina a taste of her own medicine.

The humiliation of leaving her for another ...

Her plan worked for her, Aina I hate her.

Whenever Jenna called, Aina had to come back alone and the embarrassment she had to endure leaving love hotels without a car.

People looked at her, her outfit and her appearance, she who always maintained a high pride, to be seen with those eyes, was an absolute no.

But she had no choice but to swallow her pride and continue this war with Jenna.

And for a full two years, it was an absolute victory for Jenna.

Arthur always preferred her and Aina knew that she had no right to, after all, Arthur was clear, that if they could no longer continue their relationship, it was okay if they walked their separate ways.

However Aina did not give up and continued with the fight, this was a test and she had to change herself first if she wanted to win, to start she should stop depending on Arthur and be independent.

So she followed Arthur's advice and became a writer, she bought a house and supported herself financially.

Arthur saw her in a new light and Jenna paid her a little more attention too ...

However, if that was all, then it was not worth worrying about.

Unfortunately, Aina turned out to be smarter than Jenna predicted, as she gradually became closer and closer to Arthur until a year later a life-changing event happened.

Joel's biological father appeared.

The idiot who abandoned her, when he found out that Aina had money and like a house, he looked for her again, however, this time Aina rejected him, she would not fall again.

But that man was more persistent than she thought, as he even threatened to take her child from her.

This infuriated Arthur, the child was not a possession, he was an innocent being who could not have had worse parents.

So after beating that jerk hard, Arthur decided to marry Aina and legally be Joel's father.

After all, Aina had changed and the best years of Arthur's life were fading little by little, it was time to put down roots, so he took them both home to live as a family.

When Jenna heard this, she was greatly disappointed, Arthur disappointed her, he changed.

And Aina couldn't be happier, she finally got what she wanted, she lost every battle, but she won the war.

However this did not make Jenna look at her as hers the same, she always kept looking down.

But none of that matters, if she wanted to blame someone, let it be herself, after all, it is she who never wanted anything serious.

However, there was another problem ...

And that is that Aina did not know anything about Arthur, what food he likes, his favorite color, she did not know anything about that, even after living 8 months together she could not find out, Arthur was not picky about food and discreet in his life.

Even in his room, there was nothing that caught his attention other than a few manga and light novels.

This was a problem, at least as his future wife, Aina had to know the basic tastes of her husband, so she could not help but lower her head and go to Jenna's office to ask for advice, although she hates to admit it, Jenna is the one who most understands Arthur.

What a stupid woman ...

And of course, Jenna took this opportunity to alter the facts and fill her head with lies.

This is her revenge against her and against Arthur who turned his back on her.

"But, he's back ..."

Yet today Jenna saw a glimmer of hope.

That Arthur she knew had returned, his eyes, his posture, and mentality had returned.

From the moment he called her on the phone, he knew she was back.

And the moment she walked into her office, she confirmed it.

That is why she had the patience to listen to him and also to offer her help.

However she didn't forget to tease him with his 'fiancée' either, but just as he remembered, Arthur frowns every time Aina is mentioned.

"He came back ...."

Thinking of that, Jenna smiled.

She could finally enjoy sweet revenge, so checking her drawer, she pulled out an invitation, it was the wedding invitation.

She did not want to go, she did not need to attend that charade, but now that Arthur has returned, she was sure that this wedding would be interesting, so the smile on her face widened in anticipation of this ceremony ...

"But ... memory loss .. another world?"

Recalling the reason for the visit, Jenna thought seriously, there were many things that she still does not understand, but she also knows that Arthur is not someone who makes a joke like that, so what she said must be true.

"Now that I remember..."

Especially that dream where she was in another world, she had read and vaguely remembered that she had heard the names of Arthur, Elizabeth, Cristie, and Spirit Fox.

However because she was excited for Arthur to come back, she didn't get a chance to bring it up.

But now that her head is cold, she quickly turned to the computer and navigated through popular web novels.

"I found her!..."

Fortunately, it was not difficult, finding her and what she saw surprised her, since that world that Arthur spoke of, 'exists'.

Because without hesitation she bought all the published web volumes and started reading them.

And each volume was a revelation for Jenna, since what she was written in this novel coincided with what Arthur explained, at least the names and the world in general.

There were two possibilities.

One, Arthur read this novel and due to some anomaly, in his dream, he experienced the events of that novel.

However, what Arthur said did not fully coincide with what was written in the novel, so there were many variables to contemplate and with Arthur's personality and the novel's genre, Jenna was sure that even if they forced him, Arthur would not. read a novel directed towards women, especially one with Reverse Harem.

Second, what Arthur said is true and if he lived that life, that's why the events in the novel don't match his dream.

"I need more information, I think this is the author's name huh? Damsel? What kind of child pseudonym is this?"

Because she was worried, Jenna immediately looked for the author and was surprised by his pseudonym, however, this did not stop her from searching her social networks and thus sending several messages, she needed information, at least she had to confirm if what Arthur said is true or his mind was playing with him.

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

"I'm home..."

Night had already come, so even though he didn't want to, Arthur had to go back to his house.

So with a heavy and half-hearted body, Arthur plucked up his courage and opened that door.

"Welcome back dad!"

And it was Joel who received him with a big hug and a smile.

"Hum I'm home"

Seeing the child so happy, cold sweat began to run down his body, being called 'dad' is something that is not used yet, and upon seeing the child, she knew that this child couldn't stop calling him that.

"Aina? Where is your mother?"

"She's upstairs, mom said she was working and she shouldn't bother her"

"I understand..."

Caressing Joel's head, Arthur remembered that Aina was now a writer and a very famous one at that and honestly, Arthur was curious about what she is writing, after all, he continues to enjoy anime, manga, and novels.

So he decided to take a look ...

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

"Again? This is very annoying, but her ideas are interesting"

Scratching her cheek, Aina sighed.

For more than an hour, a fan of hers wrote to her on her social networks.

She at first thought of ignoring it, you have thousands of readers so she does not have the time to respond to each of her messages, at most she reads them.

And over an hour ago, one of her fans wrote him something interesting, something she couldn't ignore, about the life of her main male character.

She had not written something, but the events were told with total clarity that even she was surprised why this fan knew about something so complex about her novel.

Did he read her mind?

That is impossible, right?

So with curiosity, she responded to the messages from her, who she had imagined, that it would turn into a debate.

This fan knew cases about her characters that only existed in her mind and some had not even occurred to her.

This was surprising ...

[Damsel: You're wrong, Arthur is still not powerful enough to receive Margareth's legacy, the eyes of Infinity will be available after he reindeer before]

[Golden Egg: Are you sure? Because Arthur is capable enough to wake them up at a young age]

[Damsel: I'm sure, to wake up, Arthur should pass the judgment of fate and as a child, it is impossible for him to do so]

[Golden Egg: Hmmmm ~]

Each message was more detailed than the last and best of all, the debate was without a doubt about Arthur and the Van Panthohime house.

"Job?"

Yet she was so focused on answering that she didn't realize that Arthur was next to her.

"Kya ?! Liam ?! Don't scare me like that dear"

"It was not my intention"

Hearing her voice made her jump, but seeing that it was Arthur, she sighed in relief.

"Fans?"

"Yes that's how it is"

Seeing this series of messages and thousands of readers online, Arthur asked curiously.

"Your book is popular"

"Of course it is, I just followed your advice dear ~"

She had spent so much effort writing this book, that she thought at first she was a waste of time.

Who would have thought that it turned out to be one of the best-selling books, as well as the reason why she was able to buy her house.

"Life with my adorable Fox? It must be very good, what is the gender?"

With hundreds of thousands of readers purchasing this novel, Arthur was tempted to read it, as well as satisfy the curiosity about what was going on in Aina's head.

(Hmm, the cover is a bit familiar ...)

Likewise, the cover was an image of the female protagonist, while behind her, buildings and some men of various races, for Arthur this scene is a bit disconcerting, but also a bit familiar due to the female protagonist.

Unfortunately, he could not understand, Ludi his cousin in that image is 16 to 17 years old, totally different from her 8-year-old child's appearance, not to mention that in an image made by an artist, several important features could not be drawn.

Besides a 2D drawing, it cannot be compared with the image of a 3D person.

"Josei, if you want to read it, I can lend you the original manuscript ...."

"No, thanks"

However, just when Arthur was willing to buy it, that this novel is the worst possible genre for a man, it killed his illusions.

After all, he didn't want to read any reverse harem, he's had enough of his real life, he doesn't want even in fiction, his man's dreams to be stolen.

So he politely rejected Aina, likewise, he walked away little by little and returned to the kitchen.

(Aina must have a great imagination if she is writing such a literary monster)

Josei is taboo and Arthur would not read it, even if he is beaten or fed mental retardation pills.

As is to be expected of a woman, her mind is a Labyrinth to which there is no way out.
