She wasn't driving the car, a girl was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy and Rebecca hopped into the rear seat while Elena stayed seated in the passenger's seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you wait long?\" she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh. You are supposed to say no there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's up with all this…\" He pointed his gaze at the driver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, don't worry. She won't be joining us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy leaned back on the seat and looked outside the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'She said she has something important to tell me. I wonder what that is. What could be important to her? I hope it's not about breaking up. I know she loves me, but she might be wanting to break up for Eric and Erika's sake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that's her reason, I can't stop her. She has a valid reason. If that happens, I will tell Eric and Erika everything about me and Elena. And I will let them decide if they would want to see me as their father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, just thinking about it makes me cringe. But there is no way I am letting Elena leave me. Let's see if that's what Elena wants to talk about. There is no point in assuming things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turns out I was wrong all along and she has a totally different thing to say. But I just can't keep my mind still. It always wants to think about something and make up scenarios. I truly hate that.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy looked at his fingertips and wondered, 'If they spread more, they will be visible. I can currently hide them by avoiding showing my finger tips to anyone.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up at the sky and saw how the clouds were hiding the stars behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Well… I could wear gloves or something to avoid it, but this won't stop at my hands. It will keep spreading until my entire body turns into a shadow. I have no idea how long it will take that to happen. I don't even know what spreads this corruption.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed with ease, and they reached the next city. Rudy was still unaware of where they were going and what the date was about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was night, so going somewhere was out of the question. The only place they could visit was a theater or restaurant. Sure, there were other places they could go, but Rudy didn't consider them as ideal spots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car stopped in front of an apartment, and the driver got out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...?\" Rudy was confused and looked at Elena, wondering if they were supposed to get out of the car too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will see you tomorrow, boss,\" the girl said to Elena and closed the car's door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elena glanced at Rudy and asked, \"Can you drive a car?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where to, though?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have inserted the location on the GPS.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy hopped into the passenger's seat and drove the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't resist the urge to ask, \"Who was the girl?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My secretary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You keep your secretary as a driver?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow. Do you pay her double?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nope. Her only paycheck is from the work of a secretary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am confused.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After her office hours ends, she has to take a bus or a train, and then a taxi to get to her apartment. I suggested that she could wait for me and I can drop her off every day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shrugged and continued, \"Sometimes, she drives the car, sometimes, I do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, when did you learn to drive?\" Rebecca asked Rudy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eric taught me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh!\" Rebecca and Elena gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy shot a glance at Elena and said, \"I know what you are going to say. And I don't want to hear it. Keep it to yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aww, don't be like that. I found it rather cute that your son taught you how to drive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you I didn't want to hear it.\" Rudy's face twitched in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am sure Rebecca was thinking the same thing. Am I right, Rebecca?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well… yes…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is why milfs are annoying sometimes…\" he mumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After driving for twenty minutes, they reached a vintage restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't this place…\" Rudy muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you remember it?\" Elena inquired with a wide smile on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am happy to hear that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this how the rest of the night is going to be? I don't want to feel like the third wheel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't feel like that. I am the one who invited you, so I have no problems with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I do. No girl would like to see her lover getting intimate with another woman… you know it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought you were used to it since childhood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'They were so quiet in the car. I almost thought they were going to behave and everything will be fine. But as soon as we got out of the car…'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will park the car. You two wait inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy went to the parking lot while Elena and Rebecca made their way towards the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What were you two talking about earlier?\" Rebecca asked calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, it's nothing. Rudy used to bring me to this restaurant back in 1989 to 1990. This place holds a sentimental value for us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Elena stepped inside the restaurant and the man at the reception saw her, he quickly grabbed the telephone and called someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sadly, this place was closed down after a few years. I was very sad. But after I became successful, I bought it and now it has become a franchise. I wasn't looking for anything in return when I bought this place, but it has given me so much in return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Rebecca shook her head at Elena and asked, \"Is there a place that you haven't bought yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Piss off!\" She hissed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They made their way to the reserved table and waited for Rudy to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>",1027,"2026-06-06T12:42:24.769Z",1,"novelbin.me","a2a8e045d318e5752443b348f799f75b5e6a578e49bd7c74486dbaafd67d3e42","esper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-chapter-830","esper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-chapter-828",1163,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fesper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-cover.jpg"]
