Forced to Seize the Prospective Husband Brother
Chapter 73. In-law and daughter-in-law.

Just through the window of the apartment a woman could see the scenery outside, she even missed the swirling cool breeze blowing on her. It has been three weeks Ran did not come out the slightest item, he was locked up with the strict supervision of a rented person who stood guard at the door.

Ran's hands touched the glass slowly, his feet had stood for a long time with an intention that could not be realized.

Here boring, nothing fun even Ran's relationship with Guren seemed cold. They only sleep in the same bed at night, then at noon they go back apart. No communication, no touch, no warmth like before.

“Mistress, is there something you want?” bargain for a woman appointed as a servant in this house.

“I want to take a walk outside,” replied Ran without turning her head in the slightest.

The waiter let out a heavy sigh, again an impossible thing asked by his master. “I'll make chocolate pudding.” The waiter passed to the kitchen, this was one of the ways he escaped from Ran—'s request by finding another bustle.

Ran smiled wryly. Please, who can take him out for a walk? Ran promised he would just enjoy the outside wind and warm sun.

“Actually what is he thinking?” muttered Ran. What is meant by ‘dia’ is Guren. Ran still can not understand Guren's actions, yes, from the beginning he should not understand the crime of love.

Until then Ran heard the sound of steps. This is not Guren's move, this move echoes the sound of heels. A lady? Who her? Ran doesn't remember Guren there allowing others in. Surprisingly Ran did not turn around body— to see who was approaching.

“Nak.”

From her voice Ran guessed she was Muti. But Ran does not respond, as Ran is angry at the entire outgoing Zullies who are hiding all of Guren's secrets.

“You are still angry with us?”

“....”

Muti smiled wryly—he pity also with Ran, even Muti had repeatedly scolded Guren who locked his wife at home. It is undeniable that Muti feels like a failure as a mother, look at how the abominations of his son are hated by Ran.

This caused Muti's determination to break the chunks of ice in his son's household.

Still standing behind Ran with a distance of one meter, Muti said, “Ran, it doesn't matter you are angry with us, but please don't ever think again to leave Guren, he ... please, Ran, you dare guarantee that Guren will not betray you,” pinta Muti in a soft voice.

Ran clenched his hands tightly, folding his lips inwardly would be a deep vexation. Why ask Ran to stay, instead of punishing Guren who is clearly wrong.

“Ran—”

“Ma.” Ran turned around, staring fixedly at Muti's eyes with indisputable confidence. Muti was jolted by the mimic of Ran's face that was not as friendly as before—Muti relaxed his shoulders, he knew what made the woman's brilliance fade.

Muti blinked a few times, with a glued expression staring at Ran flat yet pressing “Why are we forcing you to marry Guren, Ran? Don't you remember what you did before? Why do you see now that it's all our fault? You chose to live with Guren by yourself, Ran! Now that you're pregnant with the blood of our descendants, you have a responsibility to give birth, to educate, to look after the household, to commemorate the husband you said was a psychopath. Don't try to escape, it's your responsibility, your choice, and your life. Since heredity there is no such thing as divorce in the Zullies— familyincluding you also Guren!”

Ran was cornered on Muti's words which managed to make Ran as if he was pierced by dozens of arrows. He was silent, now that he realized that he was actually also selfish.

“A-aku—”

“Mama will explain everything. You shut up and just listen.”

“...!”

“Mama heard from Guren about your complaint—but everything is not true! About Pasha's weird hobby, it's all a lie. But about Olif and Vera, it's true—mama won't deny that, but only those two who died, the other former Guren did not. We told Guren to abort the child out of wedlocktwo women whom you mentioned earlier would not. Guren who lost his temper ..” Muti is silent, but Ran knows what the continuation is. “Mama is amazed at you, Ran. Since you Guren can be more restrained, previously he was the one who always lost with emotions.”

“Because of me?” rehash Ran, pointing at himself. Ran immediately remembered he had once been beaten by Guren to the point of fainting. What time was Guren swallowed by emotions? Isn't Ran's mistake now bigger? But Guren didn't do him the way he used to. Is that proof if Guren is really sincere with Ran?

Next Muti pulled out the gun from his bag— pulled Ran's hand to receive the object. “This take. Guren told me to take this thing wherever you need to take a pillow while sleeping. Guren told me, if you feel threatened with him, shoot him dead with this thing. Di-he also said, if you expect punishment for him, you can punch a hole in Guren's head yourself.” Muti broke into tears, finally he conveyed Guren's message when his intention would convince Ran in a better way. But Ran's doubts are so great that Muti finally conveys Guren's message. What if Ran really ....

Ran's hands trembled, he wouldn't be able to punch a hole in Guren's head. “Ke-why me? Mah i-ini—”

“You're the one-on-one person in our family who wants Guren to get punished. Punish him with your own hands!” After saying that, Muti immediately ran out, he could not hear Ran's answer if the woman was still meeking with her stance.

“Mah! Mah!” Ran stepped quickly after Muti. Arriving at the door he was intercepted by two men, Ran just stared sadly at Muti's back which quickly disappeared.

“Mistress, you are not allowed out.”

Ran's feet took a step back. He raised his hand, staring fixedly at the firearm barrel of a cracker in his hand. Muti said, Guren left this thing. Why didn't he give it to her himself?

“You don't want to listen to Sir. Mr. Leave it to his mother because maybe all of you, because your in-laws want to meet you, Mrs.”

The waiter carrying the brown pudding replied from behind Ran, because he understood the meaning of Ran's gaze when he saw the woman's gaze towards his hand which contained a firearm. He also saw the conversation of the in-laws and daughter-in-law earlier.

Ran looked towards him.

“The pudding is done, Madam,” bargained while smiling thinly.

Seriate....
