38 Chapter 38 - Out of Business (1/2)

Gren told the women to wait for a bit while he went to go tell Jessica about the situation.Jasmine stayed behind to help.They were out of the house for a few hours but Jessica seemed to be still in the bakery.Gren headed to the front of the house.

”Gren!You're back!Was that you two that was making all of that noise outside?Did you find what you were looking for?”Jessica seemed happy to see him.

”That was probably us.We did find some strong people but there's a bit of a problem.”Gren paused for dramatic effect.”I don't know where we'll put them.”

”Just find a place.You're planning on cleaning out the underground area, right?There should be room for them down there.For now they can just stay in Jacob's old room.Ah, Jacob is my son's name.”Jessica didn't understand just how many people he had with them.

Before Gren could explain the situation someone burst into the bakery and shouted out.”Greeeennn!”If Gren wasn't behind the counter then he would have gotten tackled.”I missed you!”The hobgoblin woman reached over the counter and hugged Gren, kissing him when she finally pulled him closer.

”You must be Estella.”Jessica interrupted their little reunion.”I'm Jessica, his mother-in-law and lover.”At that shocking reveal, Jessica gave Estella a smile.

The grip that Estella had on Gren had gotten stronger.Her voice was filled with a hint of anger.”What does she mean?”

”I, uh, married her daughter and had sex with her last night.”Gren pointed towards Jessica when saying who he had sex with.Gren didn't want Estella to find out this way but it would be better to be honest about it.

Estella looked shocked but a customer just walked in.”You two go talk in Gren's room while I tend to the customers.”Estella decided that it was best not to argue in front of others.

Gren pulled Estella by the arm after she let go of him.He still wasn't sure what he would say to justify his actions.He brought her upstairs to his room and sat down on his bed, patting the spot next to himself to get her to sit.

Instead of sitting down she pushed him onto the bed and pinned him down.”You fucked two women on the same day that you took my virginity and even married one of them?What's wrong with you?”She was trying to keep her voice down and yell at him at the same time.

Gren didn't realize it was her first time since she didn't bleed or seem to be in pain at all.”It was too sudden.I admit it.However, I care for all of you and can provide for all of us.Even our future children.”Gren's words about children got Estella to remove some of the strength from her grip which allowed Gren to shake her hands off of him.He pulled her in closer and hugged her.”Stay here with me.Let's start a family.I'll prove that I am worthy of all of you.”

Estella sighed and pressed herself against him, accepting the hug.She gave him a peck on the cheek.”I'm just mad that you didn't talk to me about it and made such a big decision without asking me about my opinion first.Also, you slept with me first so I'm the first wife.”She sat up, still mounting him.

”I really did miss you.It was only a day but I felt lost without you.”Estella gave Gren a sly smile.”Hey, our first time was in the dungeon so we didn't really get any privacy, right?”Gren nodded, knowing what she was going to suggest.”So, how about we...”The door opened and Jessica walked in.

”Gren, a soldier is in the shop and says he has something for you.”Jessica didn't seem to care about what position she caught them in.Gren and Estella separated from one another and Gren followed her out the door.”Don't worry, I'll return Gren to you in one piece so you two can have your fun later.”Estella threw a pillow at the door as Jessica was closing it and then Jessica started laughing.”It looks like she's not so angry at you anymore.”Jessica liked to tease Gren.

When entering the bakery there was a soldier with his helmet off helping himself to a buttered roll.Judging by the sound he made while eating it, he seemed to be enjoying it.Jessica still had her trademarked smile on her face and Gren couldn't tell her feelings about him taking food.

The soldier quickly ate the roll and then pulled something out of the pouch he had tied to his waist.”Gren?I was told to come down here and hand you this.This badge is used to confirm your identity as a citizen of the Kingdom of Seka and allows you passage in and out of all of its cities.”The soldier pointed to one of the remaining rolls.”Do you mind if I have another one?”

”Go ahead.”Jessica wouldn't argue with a soldier over a couple of coppers.The guard quickly ate it up and seemed satisfied.

”It's just that I really enjoy the taste of the bread here.It's a shame that this is the last time I'll get to try it.”Jessica's smile left her face.
