141 Chapter 138 Josephs Mom Is... (1/2)

”If we were going to have more kids, don't you think we would have had them by now?” asked William quickly, holding up his hands in defense.

”So, this is a topic that you're okay discussing with our son, but not me?” she asked, icily.

”I made one comment to him, right after I left with him on his seventh birthday, about the fact I would never cheat on you!” exclaimed his father, shaking his head in disbelief.

”Really?” she asked, glancing at Joseph for confirmation.

Joseph quickly nodded. ”Dad had just bought some babies from a s.e.x slave dealer, and the women were really happy to see him. I was concerned, and he explained to me afterwards that he had never touched another woman, other than you. The women were happy with him, because he took their babies away from those conditions, and they didn't have to worry about them being killed.”

His mother gasped in horror and covered her mouth. ”That's horrible! This world is just the worst!”

Joseph thought about responding to that, as he thought over all of the worlds he had lived in, and decided that this one was probably one of the worst. The fact that he had been so happy, with loving parents, made it incredibly ironic.

”What else have you learned?” asked William, obviously trying to distract his mother away from this line of thought.

”Um, I probably shouldn't use GATE until I finish dealing with all of the demon factions. They are trying to weaken the barrier between realms and portals do more damage than teleport. I don't want to help them any.”

”That's probably smart. Since we don't need to move a large group of people anywhere, I don't think that's a big thing to have to worry about.”

”Could you find out if I have a previous life?” asked his mother, after a few moments of thought.

Joseph didn't want to explain to her that he was restricted from certain spells for a hundred years, and he wasn't sure how to tell her no, without mentioning the system.

'System, does mom have a previous life?'

(NO, THIS IS HER FIRST LIFE. AND PLEASE DON'T ASK ME SUCH THINGS ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE. I'M NOT REALLY SUPPOSED TO TELL YOU SUCH THINGS, BUT I KNEW THAT IF I DIDN'T TELL YOU, YOU WOULD PROBABLY LOOK INTO IT MORE.)

Joseph shook his head, and said, ”Sorry, mom. You don't have a previous life.”

She looked a little disappointed, then nodded in understanding. ”I suppose that's to be expected. Well, Stella, I still want to look at dresses in the next couple of days, so we are prepared for whenever the wedding will be.”

Stella dropped her fork, ”What!? We never even kissed! Why in the world would we be getting married!? I thought we talked about this!”

”We did! Mom, I told you that we were not getting married! Stella and I discussed this in great detail over the past nine years. We will get married when we are ready.”

”I want to live to see you get married!” she said.

”Dear, I think a couple more years would be fine.” William tried to smooth things over, but Stella stood up.

”Lady Nadette, I refuse to discuss this further. You may have your son and husband terrified of you, but I refuse to be intimidated by you, any longer. I respect your warrior spirit, and believe you have a long road ahead of you, because of your husband and son. I will protect you with my life, because you are incredibly important to Joseph, and I decided a long time ago that I would remain by his side until the day I die. You can choose to be angry with me, and I can live with that, but I am not interested in marriage at this point in my life, to anyone.”
