[BL] Mr. Romano Contracted Husband-Chapter 56: A Sister?!

Something unexpected happened when Louis, Julian’s father, suddenly hugged Arcane as if he was very proud of having changed his son for the better.

"Thank you for changing our son into a better person. I am very proud to hear that," he said.

This made Julian and Arcane feel very confused. Why did Louis say such a thing?

The man admitted that he himself was trying to make Julian an independent person. However, his overprotective nature towards Julian prevented him from letting his son do everything on his own.

"Mom and Dad are too worried about everything I do. You guys still often overreact just because I fell off my bike on my way home from school," said Julian with a sigh.

Arcane nodded in agreement. "Overreacting to something can shape Julian’s mind into thinking that it is a negative thing. It depends on what kind of reaction you give."

"Ahahaha... That’s right. Sorry about that, we’re just very worried that something bad will happen to you. We couldn’t bear it if we lost you too," replied his mother.

They feared losing their son as much as they had feared losing their daughter who was born before Julian.

"This makes me very afraid that the same mistake will happen twice. I just don’t want to lose Julian like I lost his sister," said Julian’s father.

"W-Wait a minute! You never told me about a sister." Julian looked very shocked when he heard this. "I... have a sister?"

It turned out that all this time, his father and mother had been hiding the fact that Julian actually had an older sister. Her name was Esmeralda, a little girl who was born five years before Julian.

They said that at that time, Esmeralda was only three years old and she was a very active and cheerful girl. Unfortunately, they lost their daughter in an accident.

"We let her play in the yard, but suddenly she climbed over the fence by herself and was hit by a car," said Megara, wiping her tears.

Two years after Esmeralda’s death, Julian was born. They tried to hide the past and treated Julian as their only child, keeping a closer watch on him.

Julian only found out about it recently. Now he understands why there were girls’ clothes in the house that had been put on him. It turned out they were his older sister’s clothes that she hadn’t had a chance to wear. But she had left them.

"But I think the decision to let him go to the big city was the right one. Now he can become a better person outside of our worries, which kept trying to hold him back in his comfort zone." Louis smiled after explaining everything.

Louis always looked at Arcane, patting the man on the shoulder. He didn’t know how to say it, but he approved of their relationship. Especially since a man like Arcane could lead Julian in the right direction.

"Regardless of your reasons, you can take good care of him. I can see that my son is still smiling now. I approve of your relationship."

"Me too. I was very worried about how Julian was doing in the city. Was he eating well? Was he sleeping comfortably and everything else. But... Hearing everything from you two... I’m very happy," replied Megara, then kissed Arcane’s forehead like a mother.

She was also touched by Arcane’s reason for wanting to find out about his father. The man did explain why he had dragged Julian into the fake marriage earlier—to find out about his biological father. As per what his mother had left behind.

That night, they ended their conversation and told Arcane and Julian to rest. Especially Arcane, who hadn’t had a chance to rest after driving for a long time at night.

"He’s going to your room. I’ll bring you some hot tea so you don’t feel cold."

The middle aged woman then went to the kitchen while Julian took his husband to his room. Inside the room, Arcana could see that it was filled with video game posters and the bookcase was filled with comic book collections.

"It feels like I’ve walked into a comic book rental shop. Have you been collecting all of this for a long time?" he asked, to which Julian replied with a proud nod.

"That’s right! I’ve been collecting all of this for a long time because my parents rarely let me go out. So they gave me whatever I wanted as long as I stayed at home."

He paused for a moment as he thought about why his parents had acted that way. He was still a bit surprised by the fact that he actually had a sister named Esmeralda.

Her death was the reason why his parents were so overprotective, because they didn’t want the same thing to happen again.

He wondered if his sister were still alive today, he would have had a friend at home or he could have played freely outside.

"Are you still thinking about what your parents said earlier?" asked Arcane.

"Yes, I never imagined that they had been hiding this fact from me for years. Even my parents’ big family never said anything," he replied.

Arcane felt that perhaps they had deliberately said nothing to Julian out of respect for his parents’ feelings.

He then pulled Julian closer to him. "But for now, don’t worry about it too much. Tomorrow morning, ask about your sister’s grave and we’ll visit it. How about that?"

Julian nodded in agreement and walked towards his bed. The bed wasn’t big enough for both of them, but Arcane said he could work it out.

"It’s okay. We can make this work," he said.

He took off his clothes, leaving only his pants on. Julian was a little surprised when Arcane took off his shirt like that. However, before he could react, his husband had pushed him down onto the bed.

"If this mattress isn’t big enough for both of us, then we’ll have to sleep pressed together."

He then turned Julian so that he was right on top of him, his head resting on his chest. It felt so warm, even though it was very cold outside, but in his embrace it was completely different.

"See? It’s not that hard to do," he said.

"But won’t you get tired letting me sleep like this on top of you?" Julian asked, lifting his head to look directly into his green eyes.

"Don’t worry. I feel comfortable like this with you," he replied.

Feeling sleepy, Julian finally laid his head on Arcane’s chest and fell asleep. Arcane smiled, pulled the blanket over them both, and wrapped his arms around his waist.

"Good night, my husband." He kissed his head and slowly fell asleep too.
