Even if you succeed in jobless reincarnation and time magic, you must live life to the fullest.

I looked up at Aisha.

Even though they had a physical relationship, he still couldn't consider her his wife.

I don't understand why this is happening.

Obviously.

It's just a matter of a name.

But I just can't see Aisha as my wife.

……

"Rudy, do you understand now?"

Paul stood up and looked down at me.

"You yourself never treated Aisha as your wife at all."

"Although this is just based on my experience."

"If you can't see your partner as your wife, even if you get married, it will only end badly."

Therefore, you cannot get married.

"You've all grown up now, I won't interfere in your other matters."

"But marriage is absolutely forbidden."

After Paul said that...

He turned around and left the living room.

……

I stared blankly at Paul's retreating figure.

just now.

What was Paul thinking?

Are you blaming me for being a disappointment to my son?

I still feel helpless about what Aisha has done.

I am not sure.

But one thing is certain.

I……

I cannot make Aisha my wife.

They couldn't even utter a single word of argument or rebuttal.

……

After Paul left.

I sat there blankly for a long time.

At this time.

Aisha suddenly walked up to me and hugged me.

"Aisha... I'm sorry..."

"It's okay, I just need to stay by my brother's side."

No.

What I mean is...

I'm sorry, Aisha.

No matter what, I still can't see you as my wife.

"I...I just need to...be by my brother's side...that's enough..."

Aisha pursed her lips.

For some reason, his voice was choked up.

"……Feel sorry."

I couldn't say anything except "I'm sorry".

to the end.

He could only hold Aisha in silence.

Lilia looked at us with a silent gaze.

Nothing was said.

……

night.

Aisha and I stayed overnight at home for the first time in a long time.

Despite the unpleasant incident that had occurred, Paul's attitude towards me didn't seem to have changed.

They still invited me to stay for dinner and to stay overnight.

Having said that…

I actually wanted to refuse.

"Let's just forget about it, the atmosphere at home is so awkward right now..."

"Even if the atmosphere is awkward, you and Aisha are still my children. It's just that parents and children are having a meal together."

Paul put his arm around my neck and said with a smile.

"Since Father has said so..."

In the end, she didn't refuse.

I think that's probably what I think too.

If we escape at this time...

My relationship with my family may be permanently fractured.

……

Dinner was as lavish as ever.

Lilia always seems to be able to make every meal exquisite...

No, it might just be because I was at home.

all in all.

The dishes tonight are quite plentiful.

That being said.

This doesn't change the fact that the atmosphere was awkward.

The dinner table.

Noren was sitting across from me.

He was cutting the steak with a knife while glaring at me with a fierce look.

It felt like that piece of meat was me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The last time I saw that look was during a time when we had a conflict in my past life.

It's been so long...

But I don't miss it at all.

I need to find a way to improve my relationship with my sister, but where should I start?

"Noren..."

"Don't talk to me!"

Noren glared at me and stabbed the steak with his fork.

"..."

I chose to keep quiet.

Janice didn't give me the silent treatment.

As usual, she even served me food.

"Rudy, eat more."

"Yes……"

"You must not have been eating much lately, you've gotten so thin."

"well enough."

"Oh, thanks to Lilia, but if you eat like this every day, you'll get fat."

Janice spoke in a relaxed tone.

Just a short while ago, she slapped me.

No.

I deserved that slap.

I actually think the beating was too light.

“Mother, you are still beautiful even if you gain a little weight.”

"Really? Don't lie to me."

“Jane, stop putting food on Rudy’s plate all the time. I’m getting lonely as his husband.”
