After I Became The Perfect Husband, She Broke Down Chapter 06

When my consciousness came back, the bone–shattering pain was gone.

I opened my eyes and struggled to sit up.

To my surprise, I was in the familiar little home I knew.

A wave of relief washed over me.

The system’s mechanical voice sounded in my head,

“Congratulations, Host. Mission complete.”

“The reward has been deposited into your bank account. I wish you a smooth life.”

“If you’d like to take on more missions, you can call me anytime.”

With that, the system went silent again.

With the hundred million reward from the system, I got the life I’d wanted.

No more disdain from Vivian and that ungrateful daughter.

No more scheming from Elliot.

Just money I couldn’t spend in a lifetime, and happiness.

My future was bright.

Half a month later, I was on a beach in Bali, when the system’s voice suddenly rang out.

“Host, the original world is collapsing. You need to go back.”

I asked the system, “What happened?”

The system didn’t answer.

“Erase her obsession with you completely, and the mission is complete.”

“After this one, I’ll give you an extra bonus.”

Hearing there was a bonus, I agreed at once.

“Alright. Send me back.”

The next moment, the smell of disinfectant filled my nose.”

Nina’s excited voice sounded by my ear,

“Dad! Dad’s finger just moved!”

Then I heard hurried footsteps.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Vivian’s familiar face.

She probably hadn’t rested well lately.

Dark circles hung under her eyes, and she looked utterly exhausted.

Seeing me awake, the exhaustion vanished from her

She grabbed my hand, overjoyed.

I frowned uncomfortably.

She seemed to sense my resistance and let go.

“Sorry.”

“I got too excited. Are you uncomfortable?”

I hadn’t seen that tender look from her in a long time.

eyes.

I didn’t answer. I forced myself to sit up. Vivian hurried to help me.

“Ethan, are you hungry?”

“I had the kitchen prepare some hot soup.”

“The whole time you were asleep, I had them keep it ready every day.”

Vivian scooped a bowl and held it eagerly to my lips.

Once, I’d dreamed countless times of her care, her tenderness.
