Rudy uttered inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I will be meeting you next week then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That reminds me...\" Rusher made a turn on the street as they left the private road and entered the city road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"About your marriage with Maria. Are you serious about it?\" Rusher asked in a solemn voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I am. I love her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, when do you want to marry her? You must tell us in advance so we can prepare for the wedding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am honestly ready at any time. But I am sure your family will be having some issues after you tell them everything, and it will take time for everyone to accept and resolve things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy moved his hand out of the window to catch the berries from the nearby tree using telekinesis. He tasted one and continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But... the most I can give you is a week. After that, whether you are ready for it or not, I will take Maria with me and marry her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about Ruby, though? She kissed you in front of everyone even though I know she did to make Maria jealous; they have always been teasing each other like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She didn't kiss me. I let her kiss me. Ain't no way someone can touch me without my permission, let alone kiss me,\" Rudy retorted. \"And I am not sure about marrying her. You will have to ask her yourself. But Maria is no longer against it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that what she whispered to you before leaving?\" Rudy asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something like that, yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was half truth. Maria had whispered, 'I will talk about Ruby later, and you have got some questions to answer, mister daddy of Lilim.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know, my wife has always been a liberal mother and a wife. She also treated Maria like her own child since Ruby and Maria are of the same age. However, I can't fathom how she would react when I tell her about Ria,\" he muttered with a sigh and did not try to think more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are mentally unstable, father-in-law. You have had several mental breakdowns, and you now seem to get them frequently, even under mild pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I myself have witnessed you having mental breakdowns three times. The first time was when your father shot me, and you didn't know what to do. The second time was when I threatened you, and the third time was when you were trapped in that ball.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rusher raised his brows and commented, \"There is something definitely wrong with your definition of 'mild'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy ignored Rusher's remark and continued, \"Following that, Ria has a bit of a melancholic personality. And Maria is a mixture of you both, being mentally unstable and a minute inferiority complex.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She has been smiling a lot and acting lively ever since she met you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right. Praise me more. I don't get enough praise for my hard work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rusher suddenly furrowed his brows and asked, \"By the way, when you asked me to drop you off, and I asked Lilim to do that, she called you 'daddy'. What was that about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I saw this coming from miles away, but Rusher never asked this. I thought maybe he didn't hear it or just forgot about it, but this bastard was waiting for a perfect time to ask me this!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She calls me that for some reason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Correct me if I am wrong, but you wouldn't happen to lay your hands on her, right?\" Rusher asked with a judging look on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. She laid herself on me,\" Rudy started with a straight face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I knew it! I knew something was going on between you two when Lu Bela kept mentioning Lilim's name with Maria.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are overreacting a little. I mean, didn't you change to a new girl every day when you were my age?\" Rudy remarked. \"I am better than that. I don't throw them away like you did, and I have promised to take care of them. And before you ask, yes, Maria knows about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rusher fixed the rearview mirror while saying, \"I don't know what to say when you bring that up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, Rusher stopped the car in front of his casino and said, \"Do you mind if I stop here for a while? I need to check the daily reports as they have been pending for a week.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long will it take?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't say the exact time, but it will take more than thirty minutes, minimum. But if you want, I can drop you at your place and return here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Lilim said she needed to take a bath, so i will have some free time.' Rudy looked up at the sky to check the time and said, \"It's barely 3 AM right now. I am not in a hurry. You can do your work, I will rest in the car.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, you can come inside if you want. My office has a bed, an air conditioner, a refrigerator, a television, a full-speed Wi-Fi connection, and I can get your food too,\" Rusher suggested excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nah, I am good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure? Because I don't want my son-in-law to feel uncomfortable, even for a second.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I am feeling pretty uncomfortable right now after hearing you calling me your son-in-law,\" Rudy remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can come in if you are bored here.\" After saying that, Rusher rushed towards the casino.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SIGH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy used the windows tight and uttered, \"You can come out now, Angelica.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelica came out of Rudy's body and said, \"You two talked too much!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We were having a nice conversation, come on. And besides, the same amount of time would have passed even if we weren't talking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So? Are you going to do something or just stare at me like that?\" Rudy grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelica unzipped Rudy's pants and began sucking him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later that night, a tragedy occurred, and many lives were lost because of Rudy's actions\u003C\u002Fp>",1044,"2026-06-06T12:42:09.049Z",1,"novelbin.me","67166ebc7be4e2117b9e2bfe7c6d6cc23134c87f49747a62c9bfaa692eea5ebb","esper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-chapter-473","esper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-chapter-471",1163,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fesper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-cover.jpg"]
