After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 343

Chapter 343: Meet Your Children
Aberdeen Hotel, Two years ago

Inside their honeymoon suite, the atmosphere between a certain newly wed couple was far from expected.

Althea glared, but at the same time she looked heartbroken at his bandaged chest.

It was huge and covered his entire chest. She could also see dabbles of blood and it was obvious it wasn’t even near getting healed.

Her petite hands landed on the taut skin just outside the white bandage. “No wonder you were so cold!”

Then the heartbreak expression turned to one of determination. This man must be taken to the hospital! Their honeymoon can wait!

“This won’t do, we have to—” She gestured to stand up to go to the phone, when she was pulled down by strong arms.

Any more words were stopped by his mouth on hers. Her eyes widened and she gasped, with him taking advantage of the opening and entering with his tongue. He immediately began consuming her sanity.

Her back rested on the bed as he kissed her, her hands creeping up to wrap around his wide shoulders, making her slowly forget about her worries.

“Nothing can stop this.” He told her, gasping, burying his head on her neck.

Althea’s eyebrows furrowed, touching him tentatively. “Your wound…”

“No. I’ve been looking forward to this for years.” He said, his serious face filled with determination.

If one didn’t know what he was referring to, people might have thought it had something to do with saving a country.

Under his deep stare, Althea’s face flushed in embarrassment and she couldn’t help but send him a glare.

In Garan’s eyes, however, it just lit up the beast inside even more.

A bit morbidly, it wouldn’t be just her virgin blood on the cot that night.

As soon as the door closed, their lips met again with an explosion of repressed passion.

Garan quickly brought her to her comfortable mattress, hovering over her with his whole mass.

He placed some of his weight on her, just enough for her to feel his… everything.

His free hand wandered from her legs to her waist, continuing north to her plump chest.

She wrapped her arms around his neck as his warm tongue entered her mouth, exploring her long-missed taste.

He soon parted from her to kiss her cheek, her temple, her ears, and her neck, leaving as many traces as he could.

He was rewarded with her soft mewl and it drove him crazy.

His movements became more frantic and Althea’s moans became more and more pronounced, until—

The sound of children’s heartbreaking cries exploded outside the door.

Althea’s eyes widened and her mouth shut. Meanwhile, Garan was too engrossed in her softness to mind anything else.

“Wait!” Althea yelled, patting his shoulders repeatedly to stop him from devouring her.

He seemed to have taken the patting as encouragement and she almost gasped with what he did next.

With a flushed face, she bit her lips to stop a moan and grabbed his hair to stop him.

But he was level 20 and she was only level 8. What could she do against such a wide gap but pull repeatedly, hoping for the best?

Garan’s eyebrows rose in puzzlement and he stared at his wife’s face, eyes asking if there was something else she wanted him to do or somewhere else she wanted him to kiss.

“I’m serious,” she mumbled, face flushed, “Stop it.”

It took a while for Garan to realize she really wasn’t being coquettish. He gave her neck one final peck before lifting most of his weight from her. Suddenly, Althea stood up and went to the door, puzzling Garan to no end.

It was only now that he heard the cries of children outside.

He frowned, deep azure eyes staring in the direction of the sobs, eyes filled with puzzlement.

He had never been affected by children crying, but why was this so heartbreaking?

…

On the other end of the door, Harold was at a loss of what to do.

The white hair that had disappeared since upgrading metaphorically came back within the last couple of minutes.

“Oh no… babies, hush…” he uttered trying to lull them both, each snug in his arms.

It was no use, however, as the poor little things continued to sob.

At this time, Maya and Horus were playing with their new friends outside and Theo was with Eugene, so there were no other presences other than the three of them. This made the couple’s arrival—and ignorance—much more noticeable.

Hence, it wasn’t so surprising that the babies were now crying desperately after being ignored so blatantly by their mother.

Obviously, whenever their mother came to where they were, her attention was all on them!

Why did she walk straight past them?!

Old Harold really, really, didn’t know what to do!

First, he was still in a state of disbelief that the boss suddenly brought a man home and they went straight to her room. And now, he was in dilemma of whether to disturb the boss’ good deeds.

Fortunately—thank goodness, gracious Lord, bless the universe—the door soon opened revealing a very red Althea with a guilty face.

Without another word, she took both babies and took them in her arms.

She felt their softness and smiled. They quickly stopped crying, snuggling closer to their mother’s warmth and scent.

Garan watched as her wife approached an old man with two babies and brought them to her arms in order to stop them from crying.

He watched as she calmly lulled the two children—so naturally—and he honestly had no idea what to make of it.

Did she adopt babies while he was away? Maybe? After all, his Althea had always been very kind.

When the babies completely calmed, Althea’s head turned to his direction and froze, as if just remembering him there.

She cleared her throat and walked to him, smiling awkwardly. “I… forgot to tell you.” She said, extending her arms a bit so he could see the two extremely beautiful children closer.

The two infants set their huge eyes on him, babbling and drooling, confused and curious.

He felt his heart was hit. But it didn’t compare to the shock that Althea’s next words gave him.

“Meet your children.”

“…”
