The next morning, at the Nakiri family ho, a phone rang. Renz picked up his phone. The caller ID read Hana Tsuruyama. It seed to be the female doctor he'd coincidentally t at the hospital yesterday. He was a bit surprised to have her in his contacts.
"Moshi moshi?"
On the other end of the line, Hana Tsuruyama's voice chid, "May I speak with Erina's husband?"
"Yes, that's . How can I help you?" Renz replied politely.
"I have so news for you that I'm not sure whether it's good or bad," Dr. Tsuruyama said mischievously, playing a guessing ga.
A call from the hospital. Could sothing be wrong with Erina's health check-up? Renz briefly recollected. A certain unwelco speculation ford in his mind…
"Could it be… Erina is pregnant?" Renz asked, his voice uncertain. Dr. Tsuruyama seed to know them as a couple, and she was an obstetrician. After the check-up, an obstetrician calling him, combined with Erina's various symptoms before… Renz's mind was working quickly.
However, he dared to guess this, but he truly didn't dare to think it. Renz still wanted to hear it directly from the doctor. But Renz also knew that typically, when a pregnant woman was confird, the hospital doctor would first call her husband to notify him in advance, so the husband could calm his wife's emotions. Who knew why he knew such useless information?
"You guessed right," Dr. Tsuruyama said with a congratulatory tone. "You're about to welco your fifth family mber."
I'd rather have guessed wrong! What kind of developnt is this? Renz felt like his world was blacking out. And how was he supposed to tell Erina about this? After all, her psychological age was still that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, back in the previous tiline. If Renz told her about this pregnancy, Erina would probably explode from embarrassnt!
"Oh, Mr. Nakiri, you don't seem very happy?" Hana Tsuruyama noticed the silence on the other end of the line and paused.
"Happy, I'm too happy! I'm just so happy I can't speak!" Renz was actually overwheld. Arriving ten years into the future, he beca a father, a father of two children. He had to handle their education, pick them up from school, and his wife, Erina, was also a handful; he had to constantly consider her feelings.
Now, the trouble wasn't just two children. He was about to be promoted to a supportive father-to-be. Damn it!!! How was he going to talk to Erina about this?
"Dr. Tsuruyama, have you already inford Erina about this news?" Renz asked, taking a deep breath.
"Not yet. I thought I'd give you a heads-up first. Surprised?" Hana Tsuruyama chuckled.
Surprised? This is almost a fright!
"Surprised, very surprised," Renz could only force himself to go along with it. "Later, I'll inform Erina myself. No need for you, doctor." If Hana Tsuruyama inford her, who knew what kind of mishap Erina might have over the phone. If he inford her, even if sothing went wrong, Renz could try to stabilize Erina's emotions. Renz could only hope Erina could handle this "good news."
Suddenly, the room door opened. Erina glanced at Renz and went to a drawer, seemingly searching for sothing. Just as Renz hung up the phone, the timing couldn't have been more perfect; the person he needed to talk to was right there. Renz felt frantic inside.
How do I even bring this up?!
Erina asked, "Hm, who were you talking to on the phone?"
"Let's put that question aside for a mont," Renz said, gazing at Erina. "I have a few small questions I'd like to ask."
"Go ahead," Erina said, a bit puzzled by Renz's strange remark.
"Do you want a third child?" Renz asked nonchalantly.
The air instantly fell into a deathly silence.
Perhaps this question is a bit sudden for you, Renz thought that such prolonged silence wouldn't do, so he had to open the topic and force the conversation.
"Are you a pervert?" Erina said with a cold face. To talk to her in such a tone, what did he take her for? The positive impression points she had accumulated yesterday, thanks to Renz's actions, vanished in the blink of an eye.
Such words. You really dare to say that! Only a bit over a week of acquaintance, and he's already thinking about this? Thinking this, Erina's beautiful cold face flushed slightly.
"No, this isn't sothing I can control," Renz said with a bitter expression.
That thing is on your own body, and you can't even control yourself? Why don't you just die if your self-control is that poor? Pervert, pervert, pervert! Erina felt very disappointed.
"This third child, my wish is to have it. I swear, within this year, I will fulfill my responsibilities. It's not just simple words; I'm willing to take care of your daily life and everything else. As long as you make a request, I'll try my best to satisfy you," Renz gritted his teeth and said, "I'll try to cherish you as my true wife."
Heh. n. For such a small matter, they can abandon all dignity. And he's talking as if he's the one suffering.
"Then why don't you say, 'I love you,' to ?" Erina said expressionlessly.
Renz took another deep breath. He stepped forward, his expression solemn, imagining Erina as his most, most, most, most, most beloved person. His grave expression slowly relaxed.
"Erina, I love you."
As he spoke those words, Renz felt as if all his strength had been drained. He had never truly confessed to anyone before; this was the first ti.
"Can you do it now? Can you give birth to the child?" Renz's hand was already holding Erina's, and he spoke in a pleading tone.
"Wait a minute, I'm a little confused now," Erina finally realized that the situation seed different from what she had imagined. "What do you an 'give birth to the child'?"
"Wasn't what I just said clear enough?" Renz was stunned. "Erina, Dr. Tsuruyama just called . She told that you're pregnant."
As Renz's words fell, Erina froze, turning to stone on the spot.
I… I'm pregnant?
"For the third child, I don't know what your wishes are, but my thought is to have it," Renz continued. "Of course, if you want to terminate the pregnancy, I will respect your wishes too."
At this mont, Erina was still absorbing the explosive information. Her brain completely crashed, unsure how to function.
"How… how did I get pregnant?" Erina was still sowhat bewildered.
"If I haven't misjudged, it should have been before we arrived at this tiline that you beca pregnant," Renz analyzed. "I know the current situation is very special."
"However, fortunately, things haven't reached an unmanageable point."
"We still have ti to prepare."
"Let's sit down and talk about it together?"
