675: 14.71

14.71

Gaius had a sleepless night until he woke up at dawn groggily. He didn't know if it was his excessive worry, but he couldn't forget what Reed just said about Clarke.1

That Clarke actually went to Gathem City with Gaia, even though Clarke already confirmed that he went alone. 

Gaius sighed, he didn't want to be such a worrywart and jealous spouse, but he couldn't help it. Besides, all seemed to be well between him and Clarke, right? 

Clarke seemed to be a lot more caring these days, despite being absent in the children's lives. At least, he compensated it with toys, right?

"Ah, what am I saying? No amount of toys will compensate for his absence with the kids. He's still the same busy man, but he tries in a bare minimum way to get close with the kids."

"Even Reed did a better job to be a father…." Yunyu sighed as he started cooking for the family breakfast. 

Pupa materialized in front of Yunyu and commented, "You haven't slept for the whole night."

"I slept for 1 hour…." Yunyu shook his head.

"That's because you masturbate out of stress and fell asleep after you cum for one hour before you woke up again out of nervousness," Pupa read the physical data of Yunyu from last night. 

"Hehe, should I jack off again?" 

"You jacked off 3x for the whole night out of stress. Your dick will burn at this point," Pupa commented. 

"W—Well, it's a form of destressing, right?"

"… stop being such a worrywart. Clarke won't cheat on you, period."

Yunyu sighed. Pupa was sure that Clarke wouldn't cheat just because of that one line in the character background, saying Clarke was the most loyal to his beloved wife, Gaius. 

"I just feel like someone like him will have a lot of chance to cheat, and it won't be hard to do so…."

"Just because someone has a lot of chance to cheat doesn't mean they will. It's just you who cheat here and there to have fun," Pupa ridiculed Yunyu even further. 

Yunyu wanted to rebuke that, but then he realized that he was indeed a cheater. At least from what he imagined himself if he had Clarke's position right now, he didn't think he would be loyal to Clarke…

Yunyu sighed once more and continued making breakfast for the kids. After he was done, he prepared everything and woke the kids up.

"Mommy, Daddy is not home yet?" Artemis asked as she rubbed her tired eyes.

"Not yet, dear. He'll return tonight, it seems," Gaius said with a smile. Hermes joined and ate silently. He didn't even ask about his Dad these days, seemingly accepting that he would never get close to Clarke. 

After breakfast, Hermes grabbed Artemis and said, "Mom, if Uncle Reed is coming, please tell him that I want him to be my Dad for the Father's day school competition."

"… Your Dad will come, don't worry about it, Son."

"I doubt that, Mom. Just tell Uncle Reed. He is more reliable than Dad. I'll be leaving now with Arte," Hermes said.

"See you later, Mommy!" Artemis waved her small hand and disappeared with Hermes.

Gaius continued doing the house chore such as cleaning and laundry until he heard the doorbell rang, followed by knocks on the door. 

He thought it was his husband, so he hurried with a bright face. He opened the door and greeted, "Husband, welcome home…."

Gaius' smile faltered instantly the moment he saw the man standing in front of him. 

Reed smirked and leaned forward, lowering his back so he could be at the same eye level as Gaius, "What's with the mood, Wife? Not happy that your husband is home?"

"Shut up, Reed. What do you want?" Gaius said hostilely. He didn't want to talk with this man because Reed just made things more complicated between Gaius and Clarke. 

"Well, I'm here to visit my lonely brother-in-law~" Reed chuckled and sidestepped Gaius, entering the apartment leisurely. 

"H—Hey! I haven't allowed you to come in!" Gaius tried to drive reed out of the apartment. He held Reed's arm and tried his best to pull him to the front door again.

But Reed surprisingly had a strength comparable to Clarke. He didn't even budge, no matter how hard Gaius tried.

Instead, Reed suddenly grabbed Gaius' waist and pecked his lips.

Chu. 

Gaius was too stunned to speak. 

How could Reed kiss the wife of his blood brother so lightly? 

After recovering from the shock, Gaius struggled as hard as he could. He pushed Reed away and yelled, "Let me go, you asshole!"

Gaius hit Reed's chest plenty of times to no avail. Reed was probably as strong or even stronger than Clarke. 

He scoffed and said, "Heh, you'll be hugging me tightly after this, brother-in-law. Because I have that proof of Clarke cheating on you."

Gaius stopped struggling as he heard what Reed just said, "What?"

"I have the proof. Well, a lot of proofs that'll shock you."

Reed finally released Gaius and then fished out the phone from his pocket. He opened the gallery and showed the first picture to Gaius.

It was the picture of Clarke sleeping with two women. One woman looked similar to Gaius, so she must be Gaia. 

Both of them were kissing Clarke's cheeks as they were taking selfies. Clarke closed his eyes in here. He looked like he was dead drunk.

But Clarke was never drunk, his body would naturally expel toxins, and he was immune to alcohol. 

Reed chuckled as he saw the blood drain from Gaius' face. He turned pale instantly, and Reed relished every second of it.

He didn't want to give Gaius a chance to recover. He wanted to continuously attack Gaius with more and more proof until he broke down in tears.

Thus he slid the screen and showed the second picture, and this time, Gaius' body shook all over because he couldn't believe what he saw. 

"How could this be…."
