Chapter 60 Confronting Nix



Alex and Melissa went away from the fighting protestors and once they were back in some peace and quiet, Melissa initiated,

"Remember I was talking about something that would keep me and other wives alive?"

Alex nodded. He did. It was at such a crucial time that those protestors appeared.

"Right." Melissa nodded and continued, "it's really simple. You just have to open the Celestial Arch of Ascendance, have your loved ones pass through it, and voila, they're immortals."

Alex stopped in his tracks and stared at Melissa, completely stupefied.

"Say what?"

"What?" Melissa tilted her head in confusion. "Did I say something weird?"

Alex stared at her and thought, 'does she understand the gravity of her words and how important they are!?'

Shaking his head, he thought again, 'of course she doesn't. She's a God...'

ραndαsnοvεl.cοm "Darling?" Melissa called Alex to wake him up from his stupor.

Alex looked at her and said, "you drop bombshells on me as if it's nothing, I am really surprised."

Melissa chuckled. She held Alex's hand and said, "that's only natural. Anyway, what, when, where the Celestial Arch of Ascendance is, you're gonna have to find that on your own. I am just giving you a direction to walk on."

"I understand." Alex nodded.

"I wish you luck on your endeavours," chuckled Melissa and said. "Don't let me get old or your parents die."

Alex shook his head. "You don't have to mention that again."

Melissa smiled. "If I don't, how will a sense of urgency be evoked in you?"

There were so many things that were dumped on Alex after his regression.

Not only did he have to involve himself in Gene cultivation, he also had to search and open the gate his wife talked about for his wives and parents. Other than that, he also had to survive his wives' assassination attempts.

Things were so hectic yet...

'Why do I feel no stress?' Alex thought.

Any normal and sane person would feel great stress when such huge tasks are dumped on them.

Yet here he was, not feeling even an ounce of it.

What Alex felt right now was really motivated and happy instead, which was evident from the smile that appeared on its own on his face.

Subconsciously Alex was really looking forward to it but consciously, he was just confused as to why he wasn't feeling stressed.

It wasn't his fault as any other normal mortal would feel the same as him.

When things differed from the normal norms, it brought with itself confusion and puzzlement.

Such was the way of the mortal nature, and the intelligent sentient being that the Human was, their minds would suffer through an even greater sense of doubt.

Together with Melissa, Alex went back home after their talks ended and it was time for dinner.

He and Melissa volunteered to cook today and made a scrumptious dinner for the two families.

Once they were done eating, the parents decided to do the dishes and leave the kids alone.

Alex got some free time and decided it was about time he confronted Nix.

He went to his room and asked Melissa if she could call Nix here.

She obliged happily and went to get her.

A minute, in Alex's room, there were two divine beauties, sitting at the windowsill while he sat on his study chair and looked at them.

"What's up?" Nix asked with a smile.

Alex looked at this cyan-haired woman and asked, "Nix, are you my wife?"

"..."I think you should take a look at

"..."

He was really straightforward and didn't even try to run around in circles to ask this question.

Even Melissa was surprised with Alex's sudden question.

The two stared at Alex with a dumbfounded gaze.

Alex didn't feel anything from them staring at him.

A second later, Nix shook her hands and asked, "Are you not ashamed of yourself for asking a lady such a question while being a married man?"

Alex looked at her and said with a dead serious face, "No."

"Mamma mia! This man has no shame!" Nix's inner Italian rose up as she felt really surprised.

Alex and Melissa both looked at her with surprise as they had seen an Italian say such a thing for the first time.

At first they thought it was just a stereotype but now... it was all being proved true for some reason.

Was it just Nix or was everyone like this? The two tried to guess.

Alex looked at Nix and thought, 'Am I perhaps doing something wrong?'

But then he shoved aside this thought. 'It's now or never. I have a feeling Nix is just trying to cover up.'

Alex got up from his chair and stood right in front of Nix. He bent down to reach her eye level and looking in her eyes, asked in a gentle tone,

"Nix... are you my wife?"

Nix froze on the spot for a good few seconds.

She then thought to herself, 'fuck! I didn't think it would get to this point...'

'Am I supposed to lie to him? I can, no, I don't want to.'

'I WANNA GET LAAAAAAIIIIDDDDD!'

'Ugh!'

Nix's internal struggle was real and unknowingly she turned to Melissa and gave an expression that read, 'what am I supposed to do now!?'

Alex caught this reaction of hers and decided to take a step further.

Cornering women, forcing them into making decisions, it was completely wrong and unacceptable.

However, in Alex's case, things were different.

Nix had never once called him by his name yet and she hadn't even lashed out on him, cursing him or slapping him.

She didn't give any reaction that would lean towards refusal of this claim.

This made Alex even more sure that she was just pretending to not be his wife.

Alex thus took a step forward and decided he should just do the thing, instead of running around more.

Alex held Nix's hand and pulled her in his embrace, making her yelp in surprise.

Alex then asked softly with a slight hurried tone, "Nix, forget that question. Instead, I wanna ask, will you be my wife?"

Nix struggled in Alex's embrace and thought to herself, 'what in the... WHY IS THIS MAN ALWAYS SO WITTY!?'

Nix had no idea what she did wrong to have him be so spot on with everything, but she sighed and gave up resistance.

It was no point faking it anymore since she couldn't refuse this request from her husband.

Nix tapped on Alex's back lightly and gestured to him to break the hug.

Alex did as asked and when Nix was finally free, she turned to Melissa and said with a sigh:

"Big sis, I suggest the other sisters have their memory sealed out when they reincarnate."
