Esper Harem in the Apocalypse-Chapter 734 Childern Issues

Rudy was in the bathtub— naked, while Eleanor was sitting on Rudy's lap in the bathtub— clothed.

"I am just processing everything and… what comes ahead."

"I just thought of the possibility that they were adopted. As crazy as it sounds… I am my best friend's father. If he wasn't my kid, I could still continue being his best friend, but no, I can't even look him in the eyes.

I realized that if I didn't impregnate you, Eric and Erika would never be born. They are an important part of my life, and I couldn't risk losing them. Had it been someone else whom I wasn't acquainted with, I couldn't have cared less, but then again, I wouldn't have been so hesitant to impregnate you if that was the case."

"We should tell Eric and Erika about me… about us… everything. When will Erika return?"

"Are you seriously throwing all that on me? I can't do it alone… come on."

"Wait, you plan to keep it a secret? Elena, you know I can't do that. It's too much. Eric and Erika deserve to know everything. They are my children. They are the Lord's children."

"It's the same thing."

"Maybe for you. I want to keep my children away from all this. I don't want our children to be exposed to this madness."

"What madness are you talking about?"

"How else are we supposed to explain to them? How will I tell them about time travel and how we met in the past?"

"So you plan to keep them in the dark? Elena, I know this must be tough for you, but believe me… it's tougher for me. And my conscience will feel guilty if I don't tell them the truth."

"What?"

"That's partly the reason, yes. And that's why we have to tell them."

"You can't use the 'please' card like this. I know you raised them all by yourself, and you naturally have more authority over them than I did, but… if we don't tell them…. then every time I look at them… I will feel… I will feel like shit, honestly."

"Is that the only reason?"

"Then the solution is simple."

"They won't be present for you to look at them."

"Erika will return home soon, but she is most likely coming for a short vacation. She will pursue higher studies overseas, so you won't meet her that often. As for Eric, he will also go to the university overseas next year. So the problem is solved, right?"

"That's for others, not for smarties like you and your son."

"Because of the apocalypse and the pandemic, five years were wasted. There are eighteen years old who are enrolling in middle school. The education system is more messed up than it ever was.

If students pass that exam, they can skip their way to the university. Erika is already in the university without even giving that exam. While you, your son, and Alice can give that exam and enroll in a university of your choice without wasting your precious youth years."

"But he is your son."𝑓𝔯e𝚎𝒘𝗲𝚋𝒏oѵ𝒆𝒍. c𝗼m

"Ah!" Eleanor scoffed softly and rolled her eyes. "Yes, weak-hearted."

"So…" Eleanor looked into Rudy's eyes and asked, "Now you have no problems, right?"

"If I wanted to tell them, I would have told them when they were kids. Whenever they asked me about their father, I told them that he had gone somewhere. If I wanted, I could have told them that their father died before they were born."

"And they would have believed me. But I didn't want to lie to them. So I told them the truth. Yes, they hate their father, but it's not the hate you think it is. Also, they might start hating you, too, if they learn the truth.

Rudy pondered for a while and nodded, "Okay."
