Days passed and passed, and Rudy spent his life with Rebecca and Jessica. He learned many new things about them and the world, but he couldn't help but miss his harem.

Currently, Rudy was walking Jessica to her school as usual. Rebecca left early as she was in the fifth grade, while Jesicca had just begun her second year of grade school.

"So, Robert, how long are you going to stay with us?" Jessica asked hesitantly.

"I am not quite sure, and I cannot tell the exact time," Rudy responded. "And you can call me Rudy when we are alone."

"Okay, Rudy."

"So, why did you ask me that question? Do you want me to leave?" he asked curiously.

"No!" Jessica shook her head violently and hugged Rudy tightly. "I don't want you to leave!"

"Okay." He gently patted Jessica's head and said with a smile on his face, "I won't leave."

"Please stay with us forever."

"..."

"Sis has been smiling a lot ever since you came. We also get to eat new food, and our lives are at their best right now. I don't want you to leave!"

"..." Rudy couldn't say or promise about staying there forever as he himself didn't know how long he was going to stay there.

"You won't leave us like your father did, right?" she asked with teary eyes.

Rudy hugged Jessica and muttered, "I won't leave. I won't run away. I will stay with you two till the day I die. I will make you two happy. And… I will save you… I promise…"

Jessica looked at Rudy's eyes and saw tears. Although they didn't roll down his eye socket, Rudy was crying.

"Why… are you... crying?" Jessica asked while sobbing.

Rudy smiled distantly and said, "I just remembered someone who I love the most in the world."

"Is it me…?"

Rudy chuckled and said, "Let's get you to your school."

When they reached the school gate, Rudy saw an unfamiliar female standing near the entry.

"Oh!" Jessica exclaimed and rushed to the person.

"He, where are you going?" Rudy asked as she chased after her.

Jessica hugged the person tightly and said, "You are back!"

"Yes."

Rudy stopped in front of the person and asked, "Who is this?"

"She is my favorite teacher!"

"This is my first time seeing her in two weeks, so I assume she was on leave or something?"

The teacher raised her brow and hid Jessica behind her.

"Who are you, and why were you with Jessica?" she asked with a judging look on her face,

"I am her…" Rudy stopped when he saw Jessica shaking her head.

'It seems that the teacher is close to Jessica, and she most likely knows about her house circumstances. I better not lie to mess things up,' Rudy uttered inwardly.

"I am a relative of Jessica," Rudy responded calmly.

"A relative?" the teacher scoffed softly. "As far as I am aware, they don't have a relative."

"A distant relative."

The teacher squinted her eyes and asked, "Do you have proof to prove that?"

"Well, I don't carry my ID with me whenever I go out. And as you know, Jessica doesn't have a last name, so I can't vouch for that either. However, you can ask Jessica. She won't lie to her favorite teacher, would she?" Rudy shrugged.

The teacher turned to Jessica and calmly asked, "Jessica, did this man do anything weird to you?"

Jessica shook her head and said, "He is so kind and cool and awesome and fantastic and amazing. He also takes care of anything, and sis is also happy. He makes tasty food too!"

The teacher sighed in relief and asked, "What about your father? Has he returned yet?"

Jessica shook her head with a gloomy face and said, "No."

DING!

"Oh, look. The bell has rung. You better hurry, or you will be late," the teacher said.

"Okay!"

Jessica turned to Rudy and waved her hands, saying, "Bye bye! Let's go shopping after school!"

"Yeah." Rudy waved back.

Once Jessica was no longer visible, the teacher shot a judging glare at Rudy and asked, "Now that she has gone, start spilling."

"What do you mean?" Rudy played dumb.

"I know you are not her relative or anything. So tell me who you are and what you want from them. Otherwise, I will get the cops."

"I seriously have no idea what you are trying to say. How can you say that I am not her relative? I understand that, as a teacher, you are worried about her, and I completely respect that. Everyone should be like that, but I am truly their relative."

Rudy wasn't lying as he was indeed their relative, just in the near future.

"Look, I know her father. He was called out for a meeting as Jessica was also in poor condition. And he had told me that he is busy most of the time and only gets time to come home once or twice every week.

At that time, I had asked him about their relatives, to which he replied with 'none. He said they don't have a relative or anyone whom he could entrust for his kid's care. And now you are here, and you tell me that you are their relative?

Come on, why should I believe a complete stranger over her father? You may not mean any harm to them, but you have to explain yourself. Who are you?"

"Well, where is that father now?"

"..."

"Since you want to believe their father, where is he? And why hasn't he returned in months? Do you have any idea how the two sisters were surviving?"

"I know. I know everything very well. And I have tried my best to give them a good life."

"That's great. So let's not fight over this topic and introduce ourselves, shall we?"

Rudy moved his hand forward and said, "My name is Robert. What is your name?"

The teacher shook her hands with Rudy and said, "My name is Elena. Let's get along as Jessica and Rebecca's guardians."

A few days passed, and Rudy had become friends with Elena. And they met daily whenever Rudy went to drop Jessica to school and came to pick her up. Unbeknownst to either of them, their fates had already been intertwined, and their destinies were written.

They were already acquainted with each other in the 2008 timeline.
