They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Terrible Fiance Chapter 39: Terrible Fiance “I was planning to visit my daughter before heading to the restaurant, but I was not sure if I had have enough time to see her, spend a little while, and then make the drive.” “Your daughter?” Reuben asked, his brows lifting in surprise.

“You did not mention you had a daughter.” His tone shifted slightly, curiosity mixed with something unreadable.

“She’s not my biological daughter,” Courage quickly explained, shaking her head to clear any misunderstanding.

“She woke up from a coma last month.” “The girl I told you about, the one who was in a coma for four months,” Courage began, her voice soft but steady.

“When she woke up, she called me ‘Mommy.’ It caught me by surprise, but I decided to let her call me that.

I mean, she’s really beautiful, and… of all her family members, only her eldest brother visits her consistently.

The rest barely show up.

So I thought, why not?

If it gives her comfort, I’ll let her call me ‘Mom.'” “Oh, so that’s it,” Reuben replied, nodding as understanding dawned on his face.

“Okay, I get it now.

But you shouldn’t just go around accepting children like that, you know.” “Okay.

Uhm can she join us for lunch?” Courage asked carefully, her tone soft as she tried not to upset him further.

Reuben stared at her in disbelief, his eyebrows furrowing.

“Are you serious right now?

I drove all the way here to spend time with you, and you want to bring in a little girl to ruin the whole thing?

Do you even hear yourself?
