Chapter 575 Voting
"What the h.e.l.l is going on?! Here Elena is giving me a b.l.o.w.j.o.b where I can get caught any time. And now Jessica is voting on calling me daddy. To be honest, I don"t mind if Lilim and Jessica call me that, but I would rather prefer they wouldn"t.
However, there is no way in h.e.l.l I am letting Rebecca call me that. Never ever. We currently have five people to vote, so I will have to make sure at least three people vote for "no".
Elena and I will obviously vote for no, but what about Rebecca? Lilim won"t stop calling me that, and Jessica wants to call me that, so they would vote for "yes."
Jessica and Lilim raised their hands with "yes".
Rudy raised his hand with a "no."
"Where is Miss Elena?" Jessica asked.
"She is… uh…" Rudy lowered his gaze and saw Elena smirking at him while sucking his snake. "She must have gone to the washroom. But I know her vote will be a "no"."
"Yes. I don"t think Miss Elena would call you daddy as her father must be old with white hair, and you don"t have white hair," Jessica muttered.
? "So it"s 2-2." Rudy and Jessica turned to Rebecca and looked at her, patiently waiting for her vote.
"Please say no. But… I mean…" Rudy gulped down nervously and thought, "If she really wants to call me that, I cannot stop her, right? Lilim is Lilim, but Angelica is Jessica, and mom is Rebecca.
I don"t see them as the same person. We have had different relationships prior to this, and right now, they are nothing but kids who need a guardian. It"s been a little over a year since I time-traveled, and I have been living with Rebecca and Jessica since then.
I don"t want to say this, but I see them as my little sisters… at least in this timeline. Even if our relationship in 2008 was different, that doesn"t matter in this timeline. But as for Lilim… I don"t really know what"s going on with her.
I know that this town— Hel, is an express point to all the other worlds, so that forest must be connected to the gates of h.e.l.l. Lilim must have escaped somehow and ended up in the woods.
However, she seems to know me. Why is that? She doesn"t know anything about her mother, but in 2008 she said a few things about her. I don"t think she is or was lying in this or the 2008 timeline, but something doesn"t add up.
2008"s Lilim did know something and was hiding it from me. But I guess I will only get my answers when I return. Honestly, spending a year here wasn"t that bad. I miss my harem every day, but I am not worried about them as the time has stopped in 2008 relative to my time flow of the 1989 timeline.
I do want to return to 2008, though. I don"t belong in this timeline, but at the same time I don"t want to leave the girls and Elena behind."
Rebecca raised her hand and locked her eyes with Rudy before opening her mouth to say, "I vote for no."
"..." - Rudy.
"What?! Why?!" Jessica jumped on the floor in anger and shouted, "Why did you do that?!"
"You might be young enough to be his daughter, but I am not. I am not interested in becoming his daughter when I can become something else," she a.s.serted while staring into Rudy"s eyes.
"What"s with that look in her eyes? I have never seen her acting like this."
Rudy raised his brow and asked, "And what exactly is "something else"?"
Rebecca hadn"t expected that question, and she was caught off guard. Of course, she had no plans of saying it out loud, but she couldn"t shake the stares from Jessica and Rudy.
"I want to… I want to be his…" Rebecca clenched her fists and said, "I want to be his sister."
"I want to be his sister too!" Jessica affirmed.
"Great, now I have something else to worry about."
While Rudy was having a hard time, Elena was having something else that was also hard.
"Uhm… how about you girls take a bath? It will take me a while to prepare breakfast. And I also have to make some lunch for the picnic," Rudy suggested.
He wanted the girls to get away from the kitchen and the living room without raising any suspicions.
"Okay."
"And Rebecca, can you give one of your clothes to Lilim? When we took a bath, she wanted to wear new clothes yesterday, but I didn"t want to trigger your wrath by using your clothes without your permission. So I used my power to duplicate them."
"Do you think I am angry all the time?" Rebecca asked.
"Sadly, yes. You always have that grumpy look on your face. But that"s mostly because you never try to smile while talking or looking at someone."
Rebecca grabbed Lilim"s hand and took her to the room after saying, "Come. Tell me which one of my clothes you want to wear."
However, Jessica didn"t go with them and stared at Rudy.
"What?" Rudy asked.
"When are we taking a bath together?"
"Never."
"But you did with Lilim!"
"Because she didn"t know how to bathe."
"I also don"t know how to bathe."
"Honestly, considering how demanding and spoiled she is… I don"t think Angelica ever lost her true personality. I never paid much attention to comparing Jessica and Angelica, but there were subtle hints that Jessica was Angelica.
Like how her dimension only had our house. And how she loved mom"s cooking— although she only ate when she wasn"t sleeping. She herself didn"t realize it as she thought it was because of me, but it was because of her.
The question is, should I tell Angelica about this once I return to 2008? How would she react? Would she be able to accept it? Would she regain her memories of Jessica?
Her becoming evil after learning the truth is the least of my concern. After all, I am not a saint either."
Jessica soon joined Rebecca and Lilim and went to take a bath.
