"I really can't believe how our son handled this matter! I didn't raise him to be an irresponsible man! Yes he is living with Nina, he is pursuing her but he knows that Nina is already pregnant yet he doesn't want to marry her? What? He is still waiting for other people to judge Nina when her stomach becomes big!?" Cronos angrily complained when they reach their hotel room
" uhm"
"I didn't expect that from him! For 28 years I've watched him grow to be a steady man, but this? How can he be shaken and confused?"
"uhuh"
"Wife? Why are you acting like that? Shouldn't you be the one more mad than me? You are very close to Nina-"
"You were saying something?" Karen asked
"I kept on talking for a while now and you haven't heard anything I said?"
"You were really saying something?" Karen felt a little guilty
"What are you doing that seems to be more important than your husband?"
"Oh! I am looking for baby clothes collections and other baby stuff!" Karen happily said as she showed Cronos her phone
"So you didn't listen to me because you are looking at these things?"
"Yes! Oh, I haven't put a crib in my cart yet! Should I get two? One for each twin?"
"Wife! I think you are forgetting something!" Cronos wanted to remind his wife that they should not let Hades see that they are excited to have their grandchildren. What if their son use it to justify what he had done?
"Oh! Oh! Thank you for reminding me! I also forgot to add bibs! Oh god! Yes, we should throw Hades' things out of our house! We will use that for our grandchildren's nursery! Well look at this princess's clothes! If we will have a granddaughter I hope it looks like Nina! If it is a grandson, I also hope it looks like Nina! Waaah, so cute! "
Cronos then thought of a little girl running towards him and calling him grandpa, Cronos felt his heart melted by just thinking of it!
Forget it! If Hades will not marry Nina, he will just remove Hades from their family records and put Nina as his daughter, hmmp!
Hades who still doesn't know that his dad is planning to remove him from their family records is still smiling like an idiot while looking at his sleeping fiancée.
Nina agreed to marry him. They will have a twin. They are going to start their own little family. What more can he ask for? The punch that he received from his dad seems to be worth it.
"You will never be alone again" Hades whispered as he kissed Nina's hand.
The next day, after Hades was sure that there's nothing wrong with Nina, he brought Nina home. When they reached home, Nina saw Hades' parents waiting for them. Nina held Hades' arms tighter when she saw them.
"Everything will be fine, okay? Trust me" Hades said to Nina then he kissed the top of her head
"Nina, dear are you fine now? Did you feel any discomfort on your ride home?" Karen asked Nina when they reached the veranda.
"Aunt, I'm okay, the ride home was fine" Nina smiled
"that's good to hear" Karen said "have you eaten already? You need to eat lots of nutritious food now to be healthy"
"Yes Auntie, Hades brought me to a restaurant before going home"
"Wife, let them enter the house first" Cronos reminded his wife that they are still talking outside of the house
"Oh yeah, I was too excited that I forgot!" Karen exclaimed "Let's go now!" Karen took Nina from Hades and signaled Hades to open their door
Hades just sighed and followed his mother's order.
When everyone was settled in the living room, Nina felt another wave of fear due to the serious face of Cronos. Is he going to hit and bring Hades to the police again?
"Okay, let's all talk" Cronos started "When do you plan to get married?"
"Let me just make this straight" Hades said "Nina and I are going to get married because we wanted to get married, not because you want us to get married"
"I don't care about whatever your reasons are, as long as you marry Nina. Anyway, if you will not marry her, I will just remove you from our clan and make Nina our daughter"
"Master Cronos, you are getting crazier day by day"
"Unlike you, young master, who becomes more stupid day by day" Cronos retorted "Now, going back to the question, when are you getting married?"
"You should at least get the certificate first then plan a grand wedding after" Karen added
"I haven't given her a ring yet! And can you please allow us two to talk about our plans first?" Hades said in annoyance. He wants to hear Nina's thoughts about this matter.
"If we let you, Nina's stomach will become big already and you are still thinking! Stop making your life a game of chess now. You should do your moves now, and think of the other matters later. Time is important because I don't want Nina to be judged by people! " Cronos angrily said
Somehow, he is to blame with Hades' attitude. He raised him to think of possible outcomes first before making his move, but this is a different case!
Nina, who was just listening on the side, didn't dare to comment. Actually, she wanted to say that she doesn't care about other people, her last life taught her that those people have nothing to do with her. They can judge all they want but she will not care because she already had enough of their unusefulness.
"Nina, what can you say? When do you plan to get married?" Cronos threw the question to Nina, he knows that whatever Nina says, Hades will follow.
"Uncle, regarding this matter, I think I'll listen to Hades first. We haven't really talked too much about it and this, so we will discuss it later" Nina answered, she really doesn't have too many expectations about marriage. In her last life, she and her ex-husband just signed a marriage contract and that's it. No hassle.
She isn't a fan of fairy tales and their happily ever after type of wedding ending. She just feels that the girls there are so stupid. What kind of girl would marry a guy who she just met after a kiss?! And why are the girls there always need to be the damsel in distress type? Well, except Mulan of course, that is her girl. Clear headed, knows she's weak but still prevailed, and the most important thing, she didn't fell in love at first sight!
Okay, she's drifting off the topic. What she just wanted to say is, she is really not into a grand wedding, just getting a certificate will actually do. So in case Hades also finds a woman he will really love, she doesn't need to throw too many pictures and try to forget too many memories.
After hearing Nina's opinion, Cronos was slightly disappointed. If Nina is like this, too generous, to Hades, how will she be able to control this guy? Maybe he should ask his wife to educate Nina on how to choke her husband by just a glance.
The old couple didn't stayed for too long. They just told Nina to take a rest first. They didn't even bothered to talk to Hades before leaving. Hades feels like he is their son-in-law and not their own biological child while Nina is their daughter who was kidnapped by a beast.
When the old couple finally left, Nina went to her room then she fell into a deep thought. Is she really going to marry Hades? One of her greatest mistake before was marrying the father of her son.
He married her because he doesn't want to go to jail. He gave him his name because he doesn't want his son to be a bastard. And he left her because she is not the one he loves.
Isn't quite the same with Hades?
No! They are not the same.
Hades looked for her after that night, unlike her ex-husband who blamed her after what happened. Hades said he will still chase after her even if she aborted the child. And he told her that he will never leave her side.
But, if she really wanted to marry him out of her own will and not due to other external factor, should she also be honest to him and tell him her tragic past? Will he still accept her if he finds out that she is an unexplainable existence? Will he despise her if he finds out that she got married before and even gave birth to their child? What would she do if Hades' reaction is negative?
Nina was so upset by just thinking of all the negative scenarios that might happen if she tells Hades the truth about it, and she fell asleep due to mental exhaustion.
