After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 139

City G, seven months ago

A sunny mid-morning in one of the country’s most premier tourist cities, a very eye-catching couple held hands as they walked along the beautifully greened street.

The weather that morning was excellent, the temperature was cool and the breeze was refreshing. Most importantly, they finally got to spend some time with each other. _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}

It has been a while since they’ve gone out for the sake of a walk. Garan’s deep azure eyes turned to his wife. Her hands entwined with his, her attention was fixed on looking around the new city.

She was the embodiment of an avid sightseer. Her emerald eyes dilated occassionally, mouth parting a little when she saw something of interest. Very curious, and very cute.

Garan felt guilty of not being able to give her this as often as he’d like. Althea always liked to explore and go to new places, and yet he couldn’t give it to her.

He raised their hands and kissed her palm, cerulean eyes looking at her gorgeous emerald ones with apology and love.

He always told himself it was for a stable future for their family, but a huge part of him felt he kept missing important things.

If only he could divide himself, he would.

She blinked under his hot stare and mouthed ’what?’. But instead of answering, he just smiled and shook his head. He simply raised her hand and placed the back of her hand against his lips.

Althea’s eyebrows rose, curious, and her free hand found his stomach, knowing he had a ticklish spot there. He flinched as his lips twitched. This made her giggle and continue to ’attack’ him, thinking she could get him to tell her of his thoughts.

(In fact, Garan did not have a ticklist spot at all, at least not after puberty, as his body was trained very thoroughly to not have many weaknesses. However, he was sure to play along with his wife every time.)

Garan pretended to flinch so he could pull his wife flush on to him, making her gasp. His eyes darkened and he leaned down, ready to capture her lips.

Before the two could go on an all-out PDA, however, the laughter of children approaching caught their attention. They were five children, very cute, and they were playing and laughing, oblivious to the world outside their own.

They were so adorable that the very sight of them placed a smile on her face.

But as one ran in their direction, trying to escape the ’it’ in their game of tag. He did not notice that there was a tile slightly ajar. Althea saw it though, and she immediately looked worried at the sight.

"Oh no, watch out!" She uttered out.

It was too late and the child fell down near them. Althea quickly got out of Garan’s grasp and she leaned down to help him up.

His playmates also arrived next to them standing up next to the fallen child.

The children gaped at her as she patted the dust off their cartoon jumpsuits.

"Are you okay?" She asked, voice very gentle and soothing.

"Yes. Thank you beautiful sister~" one child said.

"Thank you beautiful sister~" The others repeated.

She giggled and they blushed, scurrying off with their small feet after saying another milky thanks.

Althea didn’t notice how her eyes warmed. "What lovely children…"

"Hmmm," A voice sounded beside her, "You will make a good mother." He said as he placed his huge hand behind her waist. She chuckled as she returned to his embrace, also returning the compliment.

"And you will make a good father."

At this, he looked unsure, showing a rare silly expression on his face, making Althea’s lips twitch in both amusement and a little melancholic.

"Oh, stop doubting. You’ll make a great father." She repeated, "You forget how you were when Ansel and I were growing up."
