After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 355

Garan’s lips twitched under his wife’s very cute glare.

He did it on purpose, of course, he did.

He knew how many eyes followed his wife’s movements everywhere. He didn’t blame them—who wouldn’t find his wife beautiful—but how could he not show his position?

He pretended not to see his wife’s adorable stare and just held her hand a bit more tightly. He then nonchalantly pushed the stroller along the wide sidewalk with his other hand.

Like before, they walked along the tree-lined avenues, garnering attention wherever they went, though this time… they had their little babies with them.

"Mwhamammm…" Little Pepper cooed, and Little Meatball gurgled.

"Googghmmnghwgh…"

Althea chuckled as she looked down at the stroller. She saw her children’s eyes wide with wonder, taking in their surroundings.

They went on walks every day, but they have yet to lose interest in the same scenery even after so many days. It was very cute and it honestly felt hopeful.

She lifted her eyes and met Garan’s who were staring at her and the children warmly. They stared at each other for a while, their minds recalling the adventures they had to go through before finally arriving in this… peace.

It took a while, but their family was finally complete.

At this thought, they smiled brightly at each other, hearts full.

…

While the couple was walking leisurely, forgetting why they rushed out of breakfast in the first place, the Terran Mercenary team was waiting around in the restaurants abutting the central plaza.

As they waited, a few team members took turns watching the people coming to the Village Center across the street.

It wasn’t that they didn’t know where the captain was, but they dared not disturb him.

Not to mention… this place was heaven!

They were totally in vacation-mode the past few days!

Sammy lied lazily on the chair of the restaurant, sipping his lemonade with a noisy gurgle. "Ahhhh, this is the lifeeee!"

Of course, it would’ve been best if they found family like the Captain, Gill, and even Ryo (all of whom were currently with their families).

Luis nodded as he ate cookies one after another like a hamster.

"I think the captain forgot all about us."

"With a wife like sister-in-law, anyone would forget everything else…" Sammy mumbled dreamily, making the others’ heads turn to him.

Except for a few who happened to be near when she visited the barracks, the others had never met Althea.

The Captain’s wife, the woman he loved more than the world. The mysterious woman who could actually tame such a man.

But more than being the Captain’s wife, they were also very curious about the Miss Althea in the citizens’ mouths.

They had heard the Lord of Bright say sister-in-law held a high position in Altera, but they couldn’t have imagined that it was to the degree that she was revered by everyone.

Regardless of which Althea they were more curious about, those who didn’t know her surrounded Sammy for some gossip.

They surrounded him so quickly that some of his lime juice leaked and he glared at the men in abhorrence. "Shame!"

"Ah, no, sorry," Luis asked, leaning over, though he didn’t look particularly guilty at all. "How is she? Is she really so beautiful?"

The image of the woman in memory deflated Sammy’s anger and he became a little dazed.

"Hnmm~ Like a fairy, an angel, an elf, a goddess," Sammy said dreamily, hearts in his eyes. The captain took sister-in-law to the shooting range for date night, he happened to be there.

Maybe because they were so immersed with each other, or because he had dark skin that he blended in the night—maybe both—they did not notice him in their flirting.

In all fairness, they did not do anything improper and were really learning to shoot. But the sweet atmosphere between them was palpable.

And sister-in-law… was so beautiful and charming. When she smiled, the whole room lit up, her every movement let your eyes follow her.

People might wonder how such a woman would fall for such an ice block like their captain, but the captain was a completely different person in front of his lover.

He almost believed the man was not their captain, he just wore his skin.

"The captain really lucked out!" Luis could still remember how scary the captain was, especially with women who had designs on him.

He could still remember the many, many times the women-averse captain made women cry with his harsh words. Even beauties like Vanessa were no exception.

It was a mystery how such a woman didn’t get scared off!

In fact, Garan was an Idiot as early as Vismont. It was just that he sprinted to Altera too quickly no one really saw his expression.

Sammy looked at their disbelieving expressions and cackled.

"You’ll see," he said, "You’ll find out later."
