Loving A STRANGER Chapter 358

"It's a gift for my grandson!" Old Mr. Parker refused to admit that Kylie was already his daughter-in-law.
Old Mrs. Parker lightly pushed Ethan's shoulder and said with a smile, "Shouldn't you thank your father?"
Ethan had mixed emotions and remained silent for a while before he stood up. "I'll tell her to thank you in person."
He turned around, walking out, and heard the noise of crying and argument at the downstairs all of a sudden.
Old Mrs. Parker followed Ethan stepping downstairs at once, and the woman who was arguing loudly in the living hall was exactly Matthew's wife, Taylor.
Once Taylor saw Ethan, she seemed angrier.
"Very well, you live a good harmonious life here, and my family is almost ruined!"
Old Mrs. Parker criticized her in a low voice. "Are you insane? Isn't Aiden already put in jail for Matthew? I've handled it all well, and he'll be taken good care of in prison. Nobody will bully him."
Taylor snorted. "I wish Matthew had been put in jail, instead of Aiden!"
She then glared at Ethan. "It was all because of you! Once you come back, my family will never live a peaceful life. Why do you have to punish Aiden like that just for a bitch?"
"She's Mrs. Parker," Ethan said in a deep voice and seemed utterly displeased.
Taylor had been afraid of Ethan before because she didn't want him to ruin Matthew's career. As long as Matthew could make a lot of money, she could continue to live her luxurious life.
However, everything was different now.
Ever since the dirty secret that Khloe had been Matthew's mistress had been exposed, Matthew didn't bother to hide his affairs with all kinds of women anymore. Sometimes, he even brought the other woman back home to have fun.

Those women were also arrogant and despised Taylor, like she was just an abandoned wife. Taylor certainly was mad, but Matthew directly ignored her.
Her son was in jail now, so Taylor was helpless.
During this time, Matthew hadn't come home for many days, and he proposed to divorce her the moment he came back.
Therefore, Taylor came to the Parker family's old house for help.
If Matthew really abandoned her, she would have nothing left.
Old Mrs. Parker understood Taylor was in a hard situation and signed with a resigned look.
"Taylor, you married into our family, and you're also Ethan's sister-in-law after all. Don't spread the embarrassing news abroad. It won't do you any good."
Don't spread the embarrassing news abroad?
Taylor didn't know what to say, because she was already a joke now.
"Old Mrs. Parker, Matthew is going to divorce me, and I can barely support myself. Probably I'll die of starvation," Taylor sneered.
Before old Mrs. Parker could say a word, Ethan opened his mouth. "You don't want to die from hunger? Easy, you can stay here from now on."
Taylor couldn't believe her ears. "What? I can stay here?"
The Parker family's old house was far better than her own place. In addition, she could also enjoy the service of many domestic servants. Although she wouldn't have much allowance, she could show it off that she was the only daughter-in-law who was accepted by the Parker family.
In that case, nobody would dare despise her again.
There were plenty of people who wanted to fawn on the Parker family, and she probably could gain some benefits from that.
"Really?" Taylor asked Ethan again with her eyes full of the obvious excitement.
Ethan slightly nodded, but he still seemed displeased. "You'll be fully responsible for taking care of my mother."

Taylor's smiled froze on her face. It turned out she must be a servant here.
She was Matthew's wife, not a domestic servant!
Nevertheless, Taylor thought it wasn't a bad idea, actually. If she could stay by old Mrs. Parker's side, she could keep a distance away from Matthew, and Matthew wouldn't dare come here to divorce her.
It was the best way she could think of to solve her problems.
Moreover, it wouldn't be tiring to take care of old Mrs. Parker, and it was also reasonable to look after her mother-in-law anyway.
After the struggle against unwillingness, Taylor agreed at the end. "Well, I think I'll stay here tonight."
When Kylie heard it later, she couldn't help but think Ethan and her connection with each other so well.
Ethan gave Taylor a cold glance, then walked outside.
"Why don't you stay here too?" old Mrs. Parker pulled Ethan back. "You seldom come home, and we can share dinner together."
Taylor helped old Mrs. Parker persuades him. "Yes, stay, please! I'll go to the kitchen to have a check." After that, she walked to the kitchen with a broad smile on the face at once.
Ethan knew he couldn't leave, so he called Dinah. Dinah told him Kylie was still at the film set, and everything was normal.

The next day.
To falsify the illusion of pregnancy, Kylie took some time to accompany Dinah to visit the baby shop and went shopping for herself.
"You must wear flat shoes now," Kylie said, then handed a pair of white flat shoes to her.
"It's very strange to dress like that." Dinah looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a loose sweater now. If she put on this pair of shoes again, she would be like an old nanny.
"Put it on!" Kylie said. However, a middle-aged woman's voice sounded at this moment from her back all of a sudden. "Pack the shoes up."
Kylie was surprised, then turned around. It was Agnes! And two bodyguards were standing behind her.
Agnes smiled, looking at Kylie. "Thank you for guiding me here."
"I didn't!" Kylie argued and grabbed Dinah's hand. "Trust me. I didn't guide her here." Dinah soon understood what was going on.
She then acted at once and got rid of Kylie's hand. "How could you do that to me!"
"No, I didn't. Please, I can explain..."
Agnes moved a step forward and stopped Kylie from saying another word. "Well, she took my money, and she betrayed you," Agnes said to Dinah.
"Kylie Finch! I hate you!" Dinah threw the baby clothes in her hands to the ground with great force in anger. "I don't want to see you anymore! Get out of my face!"
"Dinah, I did take her money, but I have no idea she followed me." Kylie tried to explain, but was moved away by the two bodyguards.
Agnes smiled and appreciated Dinah's loose clothing with satisfaction, and then her sight fell on Dinah's belly.
"I'm Stephen's mother, and I'm your mother too from now on. Don't worry. I'll take good care of you and the baby.
"I don't need that, and I won't marry Stephen either!" Dinah shouted, then walked away.
Agnes gave the bodyguards a glance, and they soon caught Dinah back.
"Take her to the Marriage License Bureau now."

Please Note this is my first attempt at a litRPG. I also ask that you keep an open mind as I will be diverging, in my own way, from many of the litRPG stories I have read. For those of you who missed it, this is a Multiple Lead Characters story, hence the tag. I should also mention that this will get crunchy as far as numbers go and please pay attention to the Profanity tag.

This Strange New Life
Seems like I got a new chance. Better not fuck it up then, since I really want to see what it feels to have a family. Power is pretty lame alone. Best used to build things and protect people. Did a lot of building 'till now, lots of research stuff and all. Now, let's protect the people that I love and that loves me back. An enjoyable life with my loved ones. Whatever the cost. Mufufu~~ What can I do, my siblings are so cute~~ maybe I'll try having children at some point~? --- PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION ^p^ ---- This is an extremely slow reincarnation story, with heavy usage of dialogues and diminutive descriptions. Chapter are posted whenever I feel like it, because I won't burn myself down like I did before. Chapters will often be around 2k words. The first arc, Life in Valince, will be at least 50 chapters deep, and the main character won't get to her 1 year anniversary over the span of this arc. As I said, it's a slow, character interaction, dialogue-heavy story. Lots of feeling, slice-of-life etc, with some dramatic events that shape the rest of the story ^^ AND PLEASE, STOP PESTERING ME ABOUT JAPANESE. this story contain a very limited amount of japanese words, used in context for a reason and that are part of the mystery of the worldAnd the bad guys use german (not because nazi buit because german is badass)And there’s also french. Please be open-minded. I’m not a delusional weeb and this kind of thing, and it would be very appreciated if people could be more polite.If you don't like it, I don't force you to read it, but a lot of people seems to like this novel nonetheless, so maybe you should give it a shot. ---- Lux's here! Yeah I know I should work on ToL and ToF but I had another idea, then another one. So here it is. Story talk about a war vet that reincarnate and can finally know what it is to have a family. I like engineering, creating things and all, so I'll try putting production scene in this. Like all my stories, it's about love, be it with family, friends or lovers. I like my coffee with so much love sugar that half the planet would get diabetes. You're warned. Also, the MC is quite OP, but I keep a progression curb and she still has things to learn, which she will eagerly do. After all, curiosity is one of her main drives, with a thirst for love and utter hate of loss, be it losing a battle or losing someone she loves. Ha, nearly forgot. CONTENT WARNINGS AREN'T FOR SHOW. Sex, of course. I'll try to explore sexuality as a male, a female, and some other PoV that can't be categorised like that, not exactly. Also, beware the yuri/yaoi. I don't limit myself to straight couples. Gore. A lot. Blood everywhere, guts spilling and all. I don't do censure. The Mc cut a wolf in half? you get the details of what is inside it. Traumatising content. I dunno. No NTR, no heartbreaking drama. However, some of you may dislike the way I handle bodies and flesh. Got some feedback about body horror on my previous works, but everyone as a different border separating transhumanism and body horror. Mine is pretty high. How high? Go read The Other Labyrthin to have an example. To put it in simple term, I've no problem at all to describe alien bodies, change in human bodies, interactions between differents strange species etc. Expect a lot of tentacle, bio-incubator, spawning pool à la zerg. Profanity. Well, I think you fucking got it in the very first sentence of this synopsis, ain't right? ---- THIS IS A WIP (work in progress)! Earlier chapters may get retconned or completely changed, structure of the story isn't set in stone, all the usual stuff. ANY HELP IS WELCOMED. Want to throw me your idea? Shoot! Spotted an error in the text? Comment! Seen a plothole bigger than the impact zone of a nuke? I'll gladly hear you out and try to fix the problem (somehow ;-;) --- Cover: John Martin - The Plains of Heaven (c. 1851) ---- Official Editor: TheZouave (starting from ch25 onward) ---- List of thanks: Necrotyr (English) Asviloka (English) Damokles (Review) David Talon (Review) JHA (English) Helbom (English) Slee202 (Common Coherence) NEEDS_MORE_DAKA (First First) Srayan (English) Koooomakimi (Dialogue Flow) Emagstar (English) Apocryphal (Review) ToasterForker (Review) Ellen Taylor (Review) Zak (English) PrimalShadow (English) Elliot Flanders (HUGE THANKS for the re-write of the poem "Tale of Ashen Night" Go check their work, it's good ^^) Lance Wheeler (Huge thanks for the English edit on each chapter ^^) (If you think you should be here because you helped me, feel free to ask, pointing the reason, like the comment you gave that could have helped me ^^)
