I Transmigrated and Got a Husband and a Son

Chapter 6 - 10

CHAPTER 6: Meeting the husband for the first time

Heaven waited for her husband and son to come home right after she finished the dishes she made for them. She killed time wandering around the house, ignoring the servant's whisperings and murmurs. Their reaction wasn't surprising because Heaven never once had a house tour.

It was unbelievable.

How could a person live in a place without fully knowing every corner of it?

But then again, she was talking about the original Heaven. The woman whose life stopped when she became pregnant.

The mansion was huge, but not quite as huge as the one she had before. Since the woman inside this body had an organization, there were more than servants living in her place. There were guards — countless guards so she could sleep at night in peace. Thus, the reason for the unbelievably huge mansion — or rather, the palace she had.

This place was a hundred times better in other aspects aside from the size, though.

After the house tour, Heaven killed time in the lobby area to wait for them. When two hours passed by, she got bored and headed to the entertainment room. Heaven watched all movies she could, enjoying the lazy hours doing nothing and worrying about nothing.

Time quickly passed by and without noticing it, it was already evening.

"They're still not here?" she yawned while checking her wristwatch. "It's already past eight. Just where did those two go?"

Heaven yawned once again, getting cozy in the entertainment room while choosing which movie to watch next. "Miriam said she will notify me once they're home. I don't remember having such peace — is this a good movie?"

It was easy for Heaven to shift her attention to the next movie because this experience was new to her. Not that she had never seen one movie; she used to watch a few growing up, but then, stopped all those menial hobbies altogether when her mother passed. Thus, she enjoyed her time while waiting for her husband and son to come home.

Time ticked tocked without condition while Heaven laughed or squeal, reacting to whatever reaction a scene was expecting from its audience. Soon, Heaven felt her eyes grow heavy until a tear appeared on the corners of them.

Slowly, Heaven drifted into a deep slumber where she dreamed of a memory she had in her previous life.

"Bear."

"Yes, Madam?"

"Why did you come back?" Hera's voice was weak, matching the pale look on her face. Sitting beside the bed she was lying on was her most loyal aid, Bear. "Weren't you supposed to be on your honeymoon?"

Bear had a stern face as usual. "I heard you had a cardiac arrest the other day."

"Weren't you supposed to be on your honeymoon?" she repeated while the man frowned. "I did have a cardiac arrest, but I'm alive, you see?"

"Boss, my wife can understand I have duties to do. We agreed to spend our honeymoon when we have more free time."

"Bear." Hera blinked ever so slowly, laughing weakly. "Just how long will you put me before yourself? You know whatever we do, even with the advanced research this organization funded, nothing will change. I will still die when my time is up."

Bear looked down, clasping his fist on his lap.

"You married the woman of your life. Treat her just the way she deserved to be treated." Hera peeled her gaze from him to the window on the other side. "Do not worry about me. I'd prefer to take my last breath alone since I don't have any last words to say. My last mission is almost at completion and this organization will soon dissolve."
