Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1016  Hot Aunt's Naughty Secret

After a few hours of practice, Rudy returned home. Jessica and Rebecca had also returned and they were making dinner.

Even though Rudy had taken a bath a few hours ago, he decided to take another one since he was tired. A few hours of practice was enough for him to realize that having powers wasn't as great of a thing as he thought it was, but mastering it was something admirable.

In the bathtub, Rudy heated the water using his powers. He had begun to use his powers in mundane tasks, which would give him more control and precision. Although he was simply too lazy to turn on the heater.

'So I can get tired.' Rudy uttered to himself.

"I thought I wouldn't have to worry about being fatigued, but I guess using powers drains me… somehow. But I think it's more of a mental thing… I could be wrong though. I mean, I have no idea where this power is coming from."

After taking a bath, Rudy ate dinner with Rebecca and Jessica. While eating, Rudy inquired where Jessica had gone in the evening. "Did you go somewhere when I went to the store to deliver lunch to mom?" Rudy asked Jessica without sounding suspicious.

"I went to meet my friend."

"Was it really a friend?" Rebecca teased Jessica with a grin on her face. "Maybe you meant your boyfriend?"

Jessica chewed and gulped down her bite before saying, "Come on, sis. You are too old for such remarks."

Rebecca and Jessica glared at each other white Rudy glanced back and forth at them.

'It's unbelievable how a presence of one person can change the entire dynamics within the family. Back then when it was only e and mom, everything was so… boring? Our lives had no colors and we couldn't have fun like we are having right now. Sure, the arrival of Lucy changed things up a bit, but it took months for Lucy to truly open up to us.'

After eating dinner, Rudy went to his room and prepared for the outing tomorrow. When it was time to sleep, Jessica crashed in once again and requested Rudy if they could sleep together. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Rudy was more conscious of Jessica then he was yesterday and that was given. Jessica was like a total stranger to him but now he had opened up to her like a family member. Although he was still puzzled as to how he suddenly got an aunt when he didn't have one in the past.

Jessica was doing her project on her laptop on the bed, so Rudy couldn't sleep. He had to wait for her to sleep.

Jessica realized the inconvenience she was causing to Rudy and switched her place to the desk.

"I am sorry," Jessiac then apologized.

Rudy told her it was fine and wasn't big of a deal, but Jessica apologized once again.

"What was that for?"

"I told you I would let you use my laptop at night but…" Jessica sighed.

"It's fine. I am not in an urgent need like you. Besides, you went to meet your boyfriend so you wasted some time there."

"Oh, please. Not you too. I don't have a boyfriend and I am not interested in dating or marrying anyone. Such things are overrated."

"Wow, I didn't take you for that kind of girl," Rudy couldn't help but comment.

Jessica turned to Rudy and furrowed her brows before asking, "What type of girl?"

"Umm… I don't know the exact word. But I don't think marrying is overrated or anything. That's the bare minimum of every human being."

"Of course. I am not saying I plan to stay single all my life or something like that. I am waiting for a person I would fall in love with… no, I am already in love, but the person I like is… well, dense to notice. But everything will change soon and I hope it will be worth a wait."

"Whoa. What kind of dude will not notice a girl like you. Such a shame. He must be gay or something," he chuckled.

"Pftt!" Jessica let out a snort after hearing that.

"Why are you laughing?" Rudy asked with a puzzled look on his face. "I am being serious here. You are so hot that… uhmm…"

Rudy stopped halfway and couldn't dare to complete his sentence after he was struck by the realization.

'What the fuck is wrong with me?! I am being honest as always but… seriously? I shouldn't say this to my aunt… right? I never had any family relatives so I have little to no knowledge on how to interact with family members. Nonetheless, I think I crossed the line and my comment just now was inappropriate. Should I apologize? But that would mean I was wrong, even though I truly think she is hot. Maybe I should watch her reaction and act accordingly?'

Rudy shot a quick glance at Jessica's face, who was surprisingly focused on her work and didn't seem to be affected by Rudy's remark.

Deepdown, Rudy felt sad that Jessica didn't even consider his opinion or gave him priority over her work, but such emotions and feelings were foreign to Rudy.

With Jessica on the desk, the bed was now vacant. Rudy wanted to avoid any embarrassment, so he decided to sleep first. He was sure Jessica would manage to return to Rebecca's room if she wanted.

'I will meet my supposed girlfriend tomorrow.' Rudy sighed.

He settled on the bed and muttered, "Imagine being this excited. What's worse is that I will have to pretend to be in a relationship. What if I don't like that girl? I can break up with her, but first I will have to learn everything I can about her. Her family background and everything."

Rudy closed his eyes and fell asleep, only to wake up early in the morning at dawn.

Once again, he was sleeping while hugging Jessica.

"..."

He quickly got up from the bed and glanced out of his room window.

'This is a nice time to learn flying. But I will do that later.'

Rudy grabbed Jessica's laptop and went downstairs to the living room to continue his research on the apocalypse. However, the moment he opened the laptop and inserted the password, the website on the browser reloaded itself and he heard a familiar drumstick theme song playing at a low volume.
