After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 263

Althea was helping the babies roll around when the expected knock came. "I’ll get it," She said, and Harold nodded to take the babies in her arms.

Harold shook his head with a smile, cooing at the babies who were startled by the sudden separation from their soft and fragrant mother.

"Aww, c’mon kids, let your mother meet her friend." he gently said, and after a few moments, the babies did stop squirming. The old man smiled, wrinkles forming on the side of his eyes, and he lifted his head to look in the direction of the door.

The boss may not look so excited outwardly, but anyone who knew her could see her eyes brightened at the sound and her steps were faster than usual.

Outside, Althea opened the gates with a bit of urgency. Immediately, she saw the beautiful woman with long golden curls and a curvaceous body. Even if she was a little dirty due to the current situation, she was still very attractive.

Terran had undergone major globalization a hundred years prior, so every country on the planet was of mixed races. However, among all her acquaintances, Winona was one of the more exotic-looking ones with her silvery-gold hair and silvery-blue eyes.

The moment the gate fully opened, revealing her, the girl’s image flashed by and Althea was wrapped in a huge hug a second later.

"Ohh! Altheaaaa!!" The blonde sobbed, and Althea’s eyes twitched as she felt snot on her neck. "I missed y–"

The girl’s words stopped at the realization of something. She abruptly parted with Althea, placing her hands on her shoulder.

The woman looked at her up and down with a pale face, eyes staying on her stomach.

"The babies—"

Althea smiled, gently patting the girl’s shaking hand on her shoulder. "They’re fine." She said with a soothing voice, but the fact they were ’premature’ didn’t ease the other woman’s worries.

"Let me show you." Althea just said, putting her hand on the other girl’s and pulling her in the house. "Rest assured, they’re both very healthy."

"Well, if you say so…" Winona mumbled, but it did put her heart to rest somewhat. Althea was brutally honest with her and wouldn’t sugarcoat these things.

Anyway, it was only now that Winona managed to appreciate the house and the yard.

Despite her remaining worries, Winona couldn’t help but whistle at the masterpiece-of-a-house she was looking at. "Damn. You really know how to live wherever you’re thrown in, huh?"

This was true. There were plenty of times they had to camp due to work, and somehow Althea managed to live comfortably every time.

Whether it was multifunctional tents, pre-prepared hot foods, ultra-effective mosquito repellants, or whatever, Althea would always look like she was on a leisure outing.

At this point, Winona couldn’t help but make a joke. "Girrrll. To be honest, I always doubted that zombies or monsters could kill you. I just thought the plants here could."

Althea’s steps paused a bit. Could she say it really almost happened?

Fortunately, they were already at the door and Winona saw the children as soon as she came in, distracting her from this line of questioning.

She squealed at the sight of the babies and their chubby cheeks and rounded eyes.

"Oh my, are these the twins?! They’re SO CUTE I’M GONNA DIEEEE."

The blonde gasped at the cute-attack and wanted to run to them but was held back by Althea by the collar. "You’re dirty. Take a bath."

"Oh, whoops!"

She looked at her embarrassing state, a far cry from her usual high-end and always well-put image.

She cleared her throat and looked at Althea embarrassedly.
