The Love That Remains

Chapter 55: Welcome back



"Who was the father?"

Sung Jun has been holding himself back. Fang Aisa's past hasn't happened in this life. He would make sure that it would never happen. He didn't want to ask her the name of the father of her unborn child. It was her another life. In this life, she is his woman.

But...he couldn't ask. What if she still has a feeling for him? What if he appears in future and she leaves him? He needs to be prepared.

There is another possibility. He could be the father. Sung Jun hopes that he was. But what did it make him? Fang Aisa has said that he had left her for someone else. He had a fiance. Sung Jun could guess who it was. Did he really leave Fang Aisa pregnant and alone?

The worst part was that he couldn't even protect her. Someone killed her and her unborn child. Fang Aisa knows who it was. What would she do? Who was that murderer?

Some things haven't happened yet. What is stopping it from repeating?

He needs to know. Even if it hurts him, he wants to know.

"I had a one night stand." Fang Aisa stares at him. Her face doesn't betray any feeling. "You and I had been in a relationship in our previous lives, but you left me for some reasons. I was upset and drunk one night and slept with a stranger for revenge. That man left before I could see him the next day. I don't know who was the father of my child."

Sung Jun narrows his eyes. One night stand? Then, he recalls her drunk behaviour. He is a bit relieved to know that she didn't have feelings for someone else. But he is also annoyed by her recklessness. Sleeping with a stranger for revenge? He didn't like the idea that there was someone else other than him. Then, she doesn't even remember that man. Still, Sung Jun finds himself envious. Fang Aisa had that stranger's child. Not his. For Fang Aisa, that child would always be her first child.

"You are not allowed to drink anymore." He lets go of her hands.

"Hey...it was another life." Fang Aisa looks away from him. "The car has already stopped. Where are we?"

Sung Jun doesn't answer her. They get out of the car in front of a manor. He takes her hand. Warm hands. Fang Aisa's eyes widened in pleasant surprise.

"This is our home." Sung Jun wraps his arm around her shoulder. "Just you and me."

"That...is ours only?" She seems too surprised for some reason.

"Yes, I brought it five days ago."

Her mouth forms an 'O' and she blinks several times before she asks again, "You randomly brought it? Your father agreed?"

He frowns. "I didn't ask him?" She knows a lot about him and his father, doesn't she?

"No..wait...five days ago? You didn't even know that I was alive." She steps away from him.

"Dumb wife." He flicks her forehead. "I already knew. Wei Si Si sent your photo to the school group."

Her lips form a thin line. He laughs when he sees her reaction. "I had everything prepared since the moment I saw your picture."

"I can never win against you." She covers her face with her palms. "You even brought a house... How were you sure that I would come with you?"

"You didn't have a choice, my wife."

"It's really ours?" She asks again. "Our home?"

"Yes." He confirms.

She happily jumps on her feet and hugs him tightly. "Jun, let's build a home together."

He is surprised to hear her words. He didn't think that she would be this happy. She came with him in strange circumstances.

"Stay with me forever." He whispers to her ear.

"I will," Fang Aisa replies. "We will find happiness this time."

He feels the warmth spreading in his heart when he hears her say that. Finally, she is accepting him. He hopes that she isn't tricking him. She kisses him on his lips and says, "Let's go inside."

He nods and takes her hand again. Together, they step inside the house, thinking of their bright future.

But a different sight greets them inside. The manor is full of people dressed in lavish clothes. It's decorated with flowers and sparkling lights. In the middle, Sung Jun's father is standing with the family butler. He has a plastic smile on his face.

"Welcome back, my dear son," He speaks in a loud voice. "and my lovely daughter-in-law."
