They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System-Chapter 39 - Terrible Fiance

If it gives her comfort, I’ll let her call me ‘Mom.'”

“Oh, so that’s it,” Reuben replied, nodding as understanding dawned on his face.

“Okay, I get it now.

But you shouldn’t just go around accepting children like that, you know.”

“Okay.

Uhm can she join us for lunch?” Courage asked carefully, her tone soft as she tried not to upset him further.

Reuben stared at her in disbelief, his eyebrows furrowing.

“Are you serious right now?

I drove all the way here to spend time with you, and you want to bring in a little girl to ruin the whole thing?

Do you even hear yourself?

That’s it.

I’m going back to the office,” he said, shaking his head and turning on his heel.

“No, no!” Courage said quickly, panic lacing her voice as she stepped forward.

“Don’t worry about it.

You should’ve just told me you didn’t want her to come.

She doesn’t have to join us, okay?

I’ll see her after lunch,” she added, her tone soothing as she tried to calm him down.

“Okay, let’s go eat, but you’ve really dampened my mood,” Reuben said sharply, grabbing the lunchbox from the car and striding ahead, leaving Courage standing there, visibly flustered.

From behind a parked car, Nnenna quietly observed the exchange.

The man Nurse Courage was speaking to appeared to be in his mid forties but maintained a youthful appearance, thanks to his well kept demeanor.

He stood next to Nurse Courage, who, though the same age, looked significantly younger.

His neatly trimmed beard, running down his cheeks and jawline, added a rugged touch to his otherwise polished look.

Dressed in a company jacket, it was clear that he worked for a finance company located a bit far from Royal Hospital.

Despite his professional attire, there was a certain arrogance in the way he carried himself, something that didn’t sit well with Nnenna.

She continued listening and her heart sinking as she overheard their conversation.

Guilt crept up her spine as she realized she might have indirectly caused trouble for Nurse Courage.

‘Maybe I shouldn’t have asked her to visit me so often…

she thought regretfully.’ Just as she began to drown in her own guilt, the familiar chime of the love system interrupted her thoughts.

Ding!

“You need to help Nurse Courage leave her terrible fiancé.

Completing this mission will grant you 200 good points, with an additional 10 points for every successful step completed.”

Nnenna froze, blinking at the bold statement.

‘Terrible fiancé?’ Her eyes shifted back to the man as he disappeared into the distance, her mind already turning over the system’s words.

The system’s reminder jolted Nnenna, and the realization hit her like a truck, the man Nurse Courage was with was indeed her terrible fiancé who later killed her!

For a moment, she felt unsure of what to do, pacing back and forth as her mind worked furiously.

Then, a flash of determination crossed her face.

“I’m going to crash that lunch date,” she declared to herself with newfound resolve.

Without wasting another second, she dashed back to her room, carefully dodging the nurses who seemed to be searching for someone, most likely her.

Once inside, she quickly changed back into her hospital gown, deciding that playing the sick card was her best chance to avoid trouble.

With a feigned sluggishness, she left the room, moving deliberately as if she were still weak from her recovery.

She made her way down to the cafeteria, skillfully avoiding public areas where she might get caught.

Finally, she arrived at the cafeteria and scanned the space eagerly, her eyes darting from table to table.

She ignored the buzz of conversation and the clatter of cutlery, her focus entirely on finding the couple she now saw as her mission, Nurse Courage and her fiancé, Reuben.

Fixing her eyes on her target, Nnenna moved stealthily through the cafeteria, unaware that her every move was being watched by two men in the surveillance room.

Completely oblivious, she approached the table where Nurse Courage and her fiancé were seated.

As she reached them, she plastered on a feigned look of surprise, her expression a mix of innocence and curiosity.

“Mommy Courage, you’re here?

Who’s this?” she asked in the sweetest tone, blinking her large, doe like eyes as if she were a lost lamb.

Nurse Courage’s face lit up with joy at the sight of Nnenna.

In an instant, she completely forgot her fiancé’s earlier words and motioned for her to come closer.

“Nnenna, dear!

Come, sit beside me!” she said warmly.

She gestured to the seat next to her and continued with a proud smile, “Reuben, this is the girl I’ve been telling you about.

Nnenna, this is my fiancé, Reuben.”

Reuben “…”

Reuben’s jaw tightened at the unexpected interruption, his eyes narrowing slightly as he glanced at the girl who Courage allowed to insert herself into their meal even after what he had said.

Reuben was seething inside, but he forced a strained smile onto his face.

“So, you’re the one who’s been taking up so much of my darling’s time?”
