What are you doing here?!\" the principal asked in a loud voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What is he doing here?! This is so random!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy was freaking out because he was caught doing a part-time job when it was against the school rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Angelica was also confused, but she was confused for another reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is he?\" she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Angelica's first time seeing the principal, and she had no idea who he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Rudy had no time to reply to Angelica because he was thinking of an excuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uhh..\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Firstly, get off the chair,\" the principal ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy jumped down the lifeguard chair and landed beside the principal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa! Be careful! This is a waterpark; there is water everywhere. You should be cautious even while walking, and you are jumping here,\" the principal scolded with a furious look on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He is such a tsundere…' Rudy thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your mother— Rebecca doesn't have anyone beside you. What would she do if something happened to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SIGH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The principal sighed and placed his hands on Rudy's shoulders. Then, he said, \"Listen, I don't need your sorry. I am just asking you to take care of yourself. You have a bright future waiting for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will be careful, Sir.\" Rudy nodded and turned around after saying, \"Well, then. See you at school.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a damn minute!\" the principal tightened his grip on Rudy's shoulders and said, \"Where do you think you are going? I asked you a question.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What was I thinking? There is no way I can fool the principal himself!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy turned to the principal and said, \"I am not working part-time here, Sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\" The principal looked at the lifeguard's chair, and then he looked at Rudy's lifeguard clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So…\" he pointed his gaze at the clothes and asked, \"What's this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not a part-time job if I don't get paid for it, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not doing this for money. I am doing it because I want to,\" Rudy replied with a proud face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why… would you want to do that?\" the principal asked with a confused look on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The manager-slash-owner of this place is a friend of mine. So I am simply helping her out,\" Rudy responded in a calm voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The president squinted his eyes at Rudy and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't believe you found a loop in the school's rules,\" he groaned. \"Well, If you are just helping out, then I can't punish or stop you. But make sure to study hard. The finals are coming soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...we just finished our midterms last week…\" Rudy muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The principal turned around after saying, \"Time passes faster than you think.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, he stopped and turned back to Rudy to say, \"By the way, sports week is starting soon. You have to participate. No excuses will be allowed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I participate, I will break all the world records…\" Rudy scoffed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy climbed the lifeguard chair again and resumed his job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who was he?\" Angelica asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelica was hanging on Rudy's back, playing with his hair and squeezing her breasts against his back to distract him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First of all, sit on my lap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelica sat on Rudy's lap and looked at him with an innocent look on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy patted her head with a gentle smile on his face and said, \"You didn't disturb me while talking. Good job.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelica squinted her eyes and said, \"I don't think you should be patting me, mister Rudy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not?\" Rudy asked. \"You always make me head pat you when you give me a blowjob.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you forget we are in the open, and people can't see me?\" Angelica asked with a knowing look on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy glanced around to see if someone saw him moving his hand or smiling for no reason. But fortunately, everyone was busy doing their own thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SIGH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy sighed in relief and said, \"Don't you want to swim?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy shrugged his shoulders and said, \"Why not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But… I am not sure if I can swim or not. And besides, I don't want to leave you alone like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelica hugged Rudy and asked, \"Who was that person? You were calling him Sir, or… was he a teacher from school from another department or something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, he is the principal,\" Rudy replied. \"You might not have seen him because he is usually busy with other things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He knew your mom, though…\" Angelica muttered with a hesitant look on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't want to pass any jokes or comments on topics related to Rebecca, but her curiosity had no limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His name is Anthony, and he was… my father's friend— old friend, to be exact,\" Rudy stated.\" You already know my family's condition. And actually, it's a lot better than it was when I was a kid. So Anthony took care of all my school expenses. He bought me clothes, books, he also gave me scholarships, and he still pays for my fees.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh!\" Angelica exclaimed with a surprised look on her face and said, \"That's very kind of him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah,\" he nodded with a distant smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief pause, Rudy said, \"I had three fathers in my life. First is, of course, my biological father. The second is Joe. And the third is Anthony.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what about mothers…?\" Angelica asked with a grin on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy had a faint idea what Angelica was trying to say, but he decided to play dumb. He squinted his eyes and uttered, \"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well…\" Angelica averted her gaze and muttered, \"Nevermind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's too late to hesitate now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your mom is Reb…becca… right?\" For some reason, Angelica stuttered while calling Rebecca's name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm,\" Rudy nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And… maybe Lucy's real mom— Joe's wife also has a good relationship with you…?\" Angelica uttered in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uhh… I think I only met Lucy's mother once in my past life. She looked a lot like Lucy.. or should I say Lucy looks a lot like her…\" Rudy chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy raised his brow with a curious look on his face and asked, \"And who is the third mother…?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anthony's wife…?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She is… dead….\" Rudy responded with a bitter smile on his face. \"That also reminds me, Anthony also paid my university's fees until a certain incident occurred.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>===\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks, @GerryCdL, and @DaoistVtSn8O, for the gift!\u003C\u002Fp>",1077,"2026-06-06T12:42:09.048Z",1,"novelbin.me","4a6f0b2c34789b2d28b108f6500953d0050cfb7228515d7c6dbe478530993920","esper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-chapter-136","esper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-chapter-135",1163,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fesper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-cover.jpg"]
