3rd Pov

  When Paul finally reacted, he wao throw away this man who was hugging his wife, after all which husband will like his wife hugging any other man, especially when he is more handsome than himself, in front of him? Of course, feeling Ghisine's grip on his shoulder, he stopped in his path.

  He didn't know how strong Arthur was but he uood the prowess of the Beast Woman behind him very well, while he had the prowess of a Saint Rank Swordsmao mastering all the Sword styles up to Advanced Rank, Ghisine was a genuine King Stage Swordswoman and it won't take her much effort to kill him much less beat him into pulp.

  He decided to ascertaiuation for now, and when he finally heard that Zenith was referring to Arthur as Rudeus, their dead son, he looked at Arthur's fad found many simirities between his ah's face, especially that he looked like a grown-up version of Rudy. It didn't take him long to uand that it was just a misuanding.

  Arthur forted the g mother who weeped in his chest," Paul, wait for a bit", said Ghisine as she walked forward and g Zenith, she uood how bad her situation was and ched her fists making Paul gulp in nervousness, he nodded and decided to wait, soon the cries of Zenith calmed down, and finally Paul said," Zenith, look carefully he isn't Rudy".

  Zenith gred at him and said," What do you know?! He is define-", Arthur interrupted her and said," Miss, he is right. I am not your son, after all even If I might look simir to your son I am way older than him", she paused and g his face, then at his height and body, as the realization dawned upon her, she said with grief," Yes, how you be Rudy?".

  The moment her body fell, thankfully Arthur caught her. " Zenith!", Paul shouted and quickly came to check upon her, Arthur sighed and said," She had bee unscious", Paul gred at him barely cealing his anger and dissatisfa towards him. " Paul, let's take Zenith inside", said Ghisine making him nod, Although he was quite angry and dissatisfied, he uood it wasn't Arthur's mistake and Ghisine resent.

  So they took her inside, finally Ghisine asked him to expiire matter, even if he did expin the whole matter iter he had sent her, and his other two friends.

  There was still a differeween written expnation and oral expnation, so uhe angry eyes of Ghisine, he expined everything though he twisted many facts for his venience.

  For how Lilia was a bitch who seduced him for money and created cracks in their retionship, then how when he was drunk, he by mistake pushed Rudy who unfortunately fell on a stone and died.

  Finally, once he had finished with his expnation, a sp nded on his cheek, he fell dowo the ford then coughed in pain, as two of his teeth fell down.

  He looked above to see aremely angry Ghisine who said," You bastard! How you do that to her?", he replied," It's just a mistake, I know what I have done is unfivable still for our child, ah's own good,

  I o earn her fiveness! So please Ghisine help me!", Ghisine paused, not because she was affected by Paul's passionate speech rather, by the fact that she knew Paul's fate was already sealed.

  She snorted and said," Fine, I will try my best", then she g Arthur who said," Sir Paul, from the previous act we uand that my face is quite simir to your dead son, so If I was to stay here, her dition should improve", Paul hesitated hearing that for a bit but then gng at Ghisine he nodded," Okay", he replied, he wasn't too much worried knowing that Zenith only mistook Arthur for Rudy despite their differen Age due to the striking resembween their faces.

  He also believed that his wife despite the circumstance she is in will never cheat on him, and he wanted her to get better and earn her fiveness so their life return to what it was before. Arthur smiled hearing his words, while in his mind, an evil smirk appeared on his face,' Oh Paul, you don't know you have accepted the invitation of the devil, though, for my mother, I will be an Angel '.

  ...

  After Zenith recovered, she met with Ghisine and talked with her, also she uood well that the person who looked very simir to Rudy was her Husband, Arthur. She was again saddened by the fact that her son was dead, and was never gonurn, which was quite ironic. Still meeting with her friend, and her husband who was lot like a Rudy healed some of her wounds.

  Her mood started gettier with the passing days, and even if she didn't return to her old cheerful self, she wasn't as gloomy as before, but again every night she would cry remembering her son, and one day when she was g in her bed, Arthur ehe room and hugged her from behind," Si-Sir Arthur?!".

  " o worry, the faistook me for your son on the first day, and even did the same ofteing me as Rudy speaks volumes about your current state, and just how mu pain you are, I know I might not be Rudy, but as someone whom you treated as your so me y mother, after all I 't see my mother g", Arthur said.

  Zenith nodded, and turning towards him, she g his face thinking as if he was really Rudy for a brief moment, the fortable in his embrace, she snuggled on his chest feeling her warmth which calmed her down, for the first time in the past few weeks she had a good sleep.

  After that i, she got closer to Arthur, and every night unknown to Paul she started sleeping in his embrace, feeling the heat from his body made her fortable and washed away all the feelings of sorrow.

  Finally, Zenith started returning to how it was and started getting closer to Arthur day by day, and the situation became such that she wouldn't be able to fall asleep until she was sleeping beside Arthur.
