After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1041

The couple were set to head home later that day, along with Alterra’s first Beast Tamer (in name). They bought a lot of things from the pharmacy, the market, and so on.

Although the Ferrol Fair was an annual thing, its marketplace was active all year round. There were also stalls dedicated to foreigners who would bid to rent it for a week. From there, they managed to buy quite a bit of seeds, potions, equipment, and so on.

Fortunately, Althea’s space was large and could fit in whatever she wanted to buy.

Anyway, Althea was very, very happy and this earned Garan several pecks on the lips. It heated him up—as always—but they were scheduled to head back home so he could only suck it up, thinking he could just have fun with the wife as soon as they got home.

Sadly, his wife didn’t feel the same. While they were preparing to get out, she turned to him and said: "I miss the babies… they’re going to sleep with us tonight, okay?"

"..."

Garan’s shoulders slumped slightly. "Uhn," he said, though very reluctantly.

Althea giggled at this. How could she not know what he was thinking about? With Garan, if one were to guess what was going on in his head when they were together, it was probably something perverted.

So, she just wrapped her arm around his torso and gave him a kiss on the chin. "We’ll do it the whole day on the weekend," she said, voice warm and soothing—and, to Garan, seductive. "I already booked a room at the hotel."

Gulp.

Garan was about to lean down to capture her lips when Taho limped over. "Esau said the Beast Cart is ready—"

His voice died down when he saw the sweetie position of the couple. He gulped, and he panicked when he met the man’s cold blue eyes.

"I-I’m sorry!" Taho yelled and turned back, though the abruptness of his movement caused him to fall down.

"AH!" he yelled, falling down. He ended up opening his wound and a bit of blood spread on the floor again.

"..."

"..."

Was he clumsy or just unlucky?

Fortunately, Taho was a level 20 person and it wasn’t easy to die with that amount of blood.

They just prepared the beast cart they borrowed from Jonathan. After all, they openly bought a lot of things in the market. She couldn’t place all of them in the space—it was getting a little crowded anyway.

This was why they borrowed two carts, one for them and the other for the boxes of things Althea bought in the market.

When they got out though, they were surprised to see five beast carts instead of the two.

"So many?" Althea asked Esau, who awkwardly turned in a direction.

"Althea, Garan." It was Jonathan, smiling at them. "I heard you bought a lot of things."

He still called them as before, but his demeanor changed a bit. He seemed a bit more tense and respectful.

Her eyes twitched. It seemed like he found out about her secret. Still, he was the town lord. She was only a small village lord; he didn’t have to act so nervous around her.

"Nothing’s changed," she said. "You’re still the lord of a level 3 town, as well as our friend."

Jonathan stared into her eyes and his shoulders relaxed. He smiled. It wasn’t that he didn’t know that he was still, technically, of much higher rank than she was.

He… just couldn’t help it.

It was like they were meant to be respected—even by him and other higher-leveled people.

"Well, I’m here to see you off," he said, pushing the strange thought aside. "I also took the liberty to make your trip home more comfortable."

He pointed at the largest cart there, almost twice as large as the others and had ornamentations onto it. "You can use that. It’s one of mine and is very comfortable."

Before moving though, he found something in front of him. It was a cookie—something offered by Miss Althea before. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}
