Chapter 138 - Truth Revealed
...
As Branda separated from me, a string of saliva broke down between our lips, while my mind kept blanking out due to the shocking statement I had heard again.
B-Babies..? I-I impregnated... both of them??
While my mind was being a chaotic mess, Daisy hugged Branda close to herself and laid her head on Branda's chest as she happily spoke,
"It's such a blessing~! Ah... Carene..? Oh! Y-You don't have to worry about us, alright? Y-You don't have to... take responsibility for our..."
I came to my senses soon, as my eyes scanned the nervously fidgeting Daisy and quickly realised her worries.
Although she was saying that I was free to go, she still had some expectations for me as the blood related parent of those unborn children.
Raising up my spirits, I tried to smile calmly as I spoke to Daisy,
"No, don't worry. Those kids belong to the two of you, just as they do to me. I will do my best to support you two and our kids from now on... although I don't really know much about parenting or anything like that yet..."
I couldn't say much, before Daisy crashed straight into my chest as she hugged me super tightly and sobbed as she spoke,
"N-No... only you accepting them... as yours is e-enough..."
Seriously, this girl... she is a lot more fun when she's all carefree and smiling. Crying really doesn't suits her.
Branda looked like she couldn't make heads or tails about our conversation, but she hugged Daisy's back to console her somehow.
Yup, I think these two would become fine parents. Of course, I would drop by to help out too.
But man... I had thought of only being seriously involved with my three close ones. Looks like I have to take Karime's words seriously and use condoms from now on. Can't afford to get entangled into any more relationships.
Should I buy a big pack on my way back?
...
After our little emotional interaction, little Katey began to vie for affection, as all three of us relaxed and started to do our own things.
Daisy was busy in the Kitchen, while Branda was organising her work documents while continuing to chat with us light heartedly.
As for me... the duty of placating the bored little princess had become my duty by default. Not that I minded it at all.
Although she didn't inherit her Mother's bubbly and talkative nature, I somehow preffered Katey's quiet and shy nature, as she just kept on hanging around me while showing me her school accolades from time to time.
In the end, the couple didn't want to burden me with much, so they only allowed me to drop by to babysit Katey when they go out or to help them with shopping when they need help.
As for what happens when the children are born... that was a topic that was left unsaid.
Of course, sex was risky while pregnancy and the two wanted to take absolutely no risks. So, sex was off the table for good.
I was glad though, as I had been overdoing it too much as of late.
It was as if all loose ends were tied up... save for one. Branda still thought that she got impregnated by my 'clit' and was amazed that it could happen. After glancing once into Daisy's eyes, I decided to keep the misunderstanding as it is.
Much better than her freaking out over nothing.
...
After bidding the three goodbye, I went back home.
With nothing much better to do, I decided to practice driving on the empty streets to get more skilled.
There wasn't much excitement left when compared to the first time, but it provided a good enough distraction to take my mind away from the parenting anxiety issues.
After texting a message to Celesta, I drove to Sis Lin's house and unlocked the front door as I made my way into her Kitchen.
Since the ingredients were enough for two more days, I decided to put off shopping for now.
Recalling Sis Lin's happily smiling face as she devoured my food, I couldn't help but become super excited about seeing that smile again tonight.
Celesta won't be panicking about me not returning early, so I could stay with Sis Lin for a while tonight.
Also... I plan on coming clean to Sis Lin.
I can't imagine telling Celesta the truth, but Isla knows about me having other girls. It won't be fair to Sis Lin if I keep her in the dark about it. And maybe... one day, I would be able to tell Celesta the truth as well.
...
Sis Lin looked somewhat exhausted when she arrived, but smiled cheerfully upon seeing me. After giving me a strong hug, along with a deep kiss... Sis Lin went to take a shower, while I began to contemplate on when I should let the cat out of the bag.
After waiting in silence and nervousness for a while, Sis Lin came downstairs, looking very refreshed and lovely. My eyes refused to leave her beautiful figure away from their focus, but I knew what had to be done. Hence, I waited for her to arrive before me, when I spoke to her,
"Um, Sis Lin... the dinner is ready. But, there is something... that I need to say..."
Sis Lin tilted her head in confusion as she looked at me while waiting for my words.
"Actually... since some time ago..."
...
Sis Lin waited in silence as she let me say everything that I was holding back since earlier.
After I told her everything, including my first time with my ex-roommates, my new relationship with Isla and all the other casual relationships till now, I fearfully raised my head to look at her as I tried to gauge her reaction.
Sis Lin's face looked completely blank, as I looked me in the eye and spoke,
"And, so..?"
I couldn't help but gulp in nervousness, even when I couldn't understand what she was talking about.
"Carene... I am an adult, you know? It's very natural for an attractive woman like yourself to have many lovers. Actually... I am really happy that you told me everything honestly. It shows that I am not just any girl to you. It tells me that you cherish me and don't wish to lie to me."
"My past relationship had everything that it shouldn't have. Mistrust, abuse, distrust, facade... those things led to the collapse of that relationship."
"In my relationship with you, I wish for both of us to be honest to ourselves and towards each other. And... you have already proved your conviction. I promise that I will love you till the day you don't need me anymore, so please don't make such a sad face. I won't every abandon you, Carene. No matter what happens, I will forever be with you."
It was my turn to have a blank mind. Tears were falling uncontrollably without notice as I was having a hard time holding them back.
Sis Lin smiled at me gently and wrapped her arms around me, bringing my head close to her chest as she let my tears fall on her clothes.
Darn it... I guess that being a dependent one isn't so bad sometimes...
...
After I finally calmed down, my mind became very relaxed as I felt a strange closeness with Sis Lin. It was as if the walls of secrets between us broke down, and I was able to enjoy her company without worries.
Of course, her smile when she ate my food was the best of them all.
Yup, it's just too good to be alive.
