After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1094

For months, they had maintained a status quo of sorts. She’d train, he’d help her out in his ’free time’, and maybe they’d grab a simple meal afterward.

She was satisfied with this and didn’t dare ask for more. She didn’t have the courage to do so.

However, she found out that Penny—who had been trapped with her there and experienced even harsher treatment than she did—was pursuing him!

At the time, Penny had already started with the acting troupe and was gaining popularity, and it sent alarm in Aditi.

She didn’t want things to change. But if they did start going out, then it’d change anyway!

So Aditi used up the courage of a lifetime and confessed.

Surprisingly, he accepted it, and they became a happy couple since then.

They were really a normal couple with normal personalities. Their dates would be just as any other—going out for dinner, watching shows, going on walks, and so on.

However—like any other couple—it was not without challenges. First, Aditi’s friendship with Penny strained a bit after her news.

They didn’t become enemies or anything, but their interactions had become a little curt. Fortunately, this improved when Penny invited them to her shows and even treated them to meals.

Another, Aditi’s two brothers—Ramil and Raj1—were quite protective.

They also knew of what Aditi had experienced during this time, and were worried that Chris would mind her ’impurity’.

However, Chris easily proved his character and showed his sincerity. After a couple of months, the two were completely steady. Anyone who knew them could tell it wouldn’t take long before Chris proposed.

Surprisingly, that date happened to be that day.

Aditi was flushed in happiness and eating her carrot cake, not knowing the surprise.

"Eat it all," he said, and she nodded, happily doing as she was told. It was her favorite cake, after all, and it was even more delicious than usual.

She cleaned up the plate and belatedly noticed there was a note underneath the cake. She blinked, and then she froze.

’Will you marry me?’

Her eyes widened as she whipped her head up to look at him, though at this time he was already kneeling on the floor.

She said Yes—of course she did—and she threw herself to him as she sobbed.

Unexpectedly, a lot of people—despite their corner, more private position—were actually watching them.

And when she accepted, they burst to cheers.

"Wooooo!"

"Congratulations!!"

"Ohmygosh finally!"

And so added a set of happy news just before a complicated one.

…

Other than Nightlife Street, all other places with commercial establishments flourished. Basically, people only slept deep into the night.

They actually didn’t need as much sleep anymore with their improved physiques and the longer days here. For people past level 20, they only needed a couple of hours of rest and they’d be completely charged.

In Alterra, they were sure to profit on this by keeping the territory awake all 28-hours of the day.

Not to mention, the day was pretty much a holiday so everyone had proper rest.

Anyway, while a few of their soldiers were going on lovely dates, the couple of the singles decided to have a drink at the tavern.
