A month later, we returned to Happy House.

This time, only Ethan and I came back, leaving Theodore, Aurora, Ezra, and Nox behind. They still had things to do in the southern region.

On the way back to Happy House with Geobung, we occasionally dealt with the virus monsters. The frequency of monster appearances had significantly decreased compared to before.

Since the passionate love we shared in the cave near Luaton Beach, both Ethan and I had become more proactive. We made love whenever we could, no matter where we were.

Then, as we were almost arriving in Brunel, Ethan started to worry even more. It wouldn't be strange if we had a child by now, and he wondered if there were really no issues at all.

"I've been too greedy. I didn't want to make you worry like this."

It was the first time I had seen him with such a desperate expression. Only then did I realize I had never told Ethan that I wanted a child, and I felt guilty. Yeah, it was time to talk about it.
