What? I Actually Reincarnated As Stepping Stone In Another World?

"What?!" Zayn widened his eyes in surprise.

What the hell, how could Chloe suddenly become my fiancée—and even that woman too!

Zayn felt his mother was just joking with him and he suddenly felt goosebumps when he remembered about that woman, Luna.

Luna, his childhood sweetheart and ex at the capital's college, was the woman Zayn was referring to.

Her family was one of the six major families in the capital, the Asvart family!

The Asvart family is a very powerful family in the capital, although it is still under the Welston family.

However, the Welston family and the Asvart family have a very close relationship.

Many of the generations before Zayn had married into the Asvart family, such as his grandfather Zayn and his aunt, who was his father's sister.

So, you could say the Asvart family was his second family after the Welston family because he had uncles and aunts from the previous generation in the Asvart family.

It's just that the Asvart family in his father's generation didn't have a daughter, so his cheap dad didn't have a marriage with the Asvart family. If they did, maybe Zayn now has two mothers.

Luna is the daughter of the current head of the Asvart family and the daughter of Zayn's aunt, Rica Welston.

You could say Luna is his own cousin.

He and Luna had been together since childhood, even before Mira arrived.

Luna is the most beautiful woman in the capital, even according to Zayn, Charlotte is below her in terms of appearance, background, and aura.

As the only woman in the current generation of the Asvart family and the beloved daughter of the head of the Asvart family, the training she received when she was a child was not what ordinary people and families in Classes 1 and 2 could achieve, and she also became a pearl for the Asvart family.

She is a gentle woman but always keeps her distance from others. Her astonishing talent, goddess-like beauty, and extremely powerful background were the images that came to everyone's mind whenever they mentioned her.

However, Zayn, who has been with her through college, knows that this woman is so scary!

So, he just sighed and tried to forget about it.

Immediately, he said nervously to his mother, "Hahaha, Mom, you are so funny! I almost fainted because of your joke, hahaha." He forced a laugh and tried to convince himself that this was just his mother's joke.

However, Carla's answer was like a nuclear bomb that fell right on his head.

"Ha? How could I be kidding you? I'm not kidding you! Chloe and Luna are your fiancées, arranged by your father and me." Carla's flustered and gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

Hearing this, Zayn could only hold his breath and calm himself down.

He knew that he couldn't avoid this from the start. Ever since he broke up with Luna at university, it was only a temporary avoidance because the Asvart and Welston families would always have a marriage relationship with each other that could not be avoided, even by Zayn.

Carla, who did not get an answer from Zayn, continued her words and persuaded him, "You know that the Welston and Asvart families always have a marriage relationship if it is between the younger generations? It just so happens that because of your father's generation, the Asvart family doesn't have a woman of the same generation, so we don't have marriage."

"Now, in your generation, there is Luna in the Asvart family, and of course our families will establish a marriage relationship with each other." Carla said softly and stated the facts as they were.

Hearing this, Zayn couldn't argue anymore because this was the truth. The cooperation between the two families has been established for a very long time, through many generations.

Zayn could only sigh helplessly now that everything had happened.

He couldn't do anything else, and he didn't want to cause any more trouble for his parents.

He walked to the open window and looked at the beautiful night sky to refresh his complicated mind.

Mira, who had been listening to their conversation, didn't say anything because she knew her position.

She knew about Luna, because when she came to the Welston family home, Luna and Zayn were very close. Even Luna always followed Zayn wherever he went, like a little follower.

Luna was also very hostile toward her for being close to Zayn.

The relationship between Zayn and Luna was so close that they became a couple at the university because Luna, who was the most beautiful girl at the university and the most desired woman to be a partner by all the men on campus, confessed her feelings to Zayn in front of all the students.

Of course, Zayn accepted Luna's confession, although it was strange because it was the woman who confessed her feelings first.

However, who made Zayn the handsomest man and the dream husband of the entire capital at that time until now? Of course, everyone thinks it's natural.

Mira, on the other hand, had no idea why Zayn abruptly ended his relationship with Luna and tried to avoid her because Zayn had never told her the reason, not even his own parents.

Mira also didn't want to interfere with her young master at that time, so she didn't ask him anything.

However, Mira remembered that at that time, Zayn seemed to be depressed, and his handsome face was sometimes dazed.

So, Mira guessed it might have something to do with Luna.

On the other side, Zayn, who was pondering heard his mother's soft and curious voice, "Do you have a problem with Luna, my dear son? If I'm not mistaken, you guys have had a very good relationship since you were kids, especially back at university, she confessed to you, didn't she?"

Carla was confused by her son's strange behavior, as she knew that he was in a relationship with Luna while at university.

However, she didn't know that Zayn had broken up with Luna a long time ago. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked like this.

Zayn understood and knew that the people closest to him knew that he and Luna were very close since childhood. Even when Luna's news was confessed to him, they knew it.

However, Zayn never told anyone that he had broken up with Luna a long time ago.

Perhaps only Mira, who was by his side at all times, knew that he had broken up with Luna.

But, of course, she didn't know why he was avoiding Luna because Zayn didn't tell her.

"Yes, mom, she did confess to me, and we became a couple while at university."

Zayn replied softly and his eyes gazed up at the stars in the night sky, as if remembering the face of the woman he had always wanted to forget, but couldn't.

Carla felt strange after hearing her beloved son's response and discovered a gap in his words.

"Wait, are you still in a relationship with her now?" She asked curiously.

"No, I have broken up with her." Zayn sighed.

Carla who heard this was very surprised and asked in anger, "What?! How is that possible? Why did you suddenly break up?"

"You know that Luna is from the Asvart family? How could you break up with her?!"

Her voice, which had been soft, was now full of anger.

Carla, who has always spoiled Zayn since childhood, could not contain her anger at this time.

How could she not? Her son and Luna, who had been together since childhood, suddenly broke up, and Luna was one of the prospective daughters-in-law she had wanted for a long time!

Carla knew that Luna could not have been the one to break up with her son because she had known her since birth, even helping to take care of her when she was a baby.

Beside that, Luna always told her that she wanted to be the beloved bride and wife of her older brother, Zayn.

Of course, Carla totally agrees with Luna, who wants to be Zayn's wife.

So, Carla knew that it was her son who broke up with Luna, and the reason for that? Of course she didn't know and didn't want to know, because Luna had to be her daughter-in-law!

Moreover, their relationship will further strengthen the relationship between the Welston and Asvart families!

Hum! How dare my foolish son throw away my favorite daughter-in-law!

"I-" Before Zayn could explain, his mother's annoyed voice could be heard on the other end of the phone.

"Hump! I don't care why you broke up with her! I want you to bring back my favorite daughter-in-law as soon as possible!"

"Or else, see how I will teach you at home!"

The corner of Zayn's mouth twitched, and he could only mutter to himself, "How do you know the reason I broke up with her if you didn't even give me time to explain?"

However, Zayn knew that he couldn't argue with or against his own mother. Moreover, from his mother's point of view, Luna, whom she had known and even taken care of, suddenly, without any clarity, her own son broke up with her.

Of course his mother would be very angry, and even if he explained it, he was sure that his mother would not care and still want to make Luna his wife.

Whether for family reasons or something else, Luna was destined to be his wife for a long time.

It would be a lie if Zayn didn't love her; the relationship that had accumulated from the time they were born until now was no joke.

Most notably, they've been dating since they were in university, which made them unleash all their feelings.

Thinking about that moment made him a little sad.

At that time, Luna confessed to him in front of all the university students. Of course, Zayn accepted her confession, and they were dating at the time.

It was strange that Luna was the one who confessed to him and not the other way around, but it didn't matter, and no one cared.

Who made them so handsome and beautiful? to be university representatives of the ideal husband and wife?

The two of them have been together for a long time, whether it was in elementary school or university. They were always together, and because of their close family ties, of course they had no problems.

Also, people always said that it was just a matter of time before they started dating.

And sure enough, whether it was Zayn who took too long to confess his feelings or Luna who was in a hurry to make Zayn hers, Luna finally confessed her feelings, and they started dating right then and there.

This became a huge sensation at the time, and various college forums talked about it for more than a few months, but of course Zayn and Luna didn't really care about it.

Since they had been together for a long time, they didn't feel awkward around each other while dating; instead, Luna became attached to him like glue.

Zayn also continues to spoil Luna at all times, making it impossible for her to get away from him.

He didn't realize, however, that Luna had always been possessive and obsessive toward him.

Yes, she turned out to be a sick girl, and those possessive and obsessive traits finally started to appear little by little towards him.

One day, Zayn realized Luna was becoming very attached to him, even coming to his mansion on a regular basis and sneaking into his room.

Mira couldn't stop Luna from visiting Zayn's mansion because she was aware that Luna was her young master's girlfriend at the time, as well as her position as the Asvart family's only daughter.

At first, Zayn didn't feel anything and thought that Luna loved him very much.

However, as time went on, he felt that Luna was overreacting and was very attached to him.

It was as if she was very possessive of him and even forbade Mira to take care of him.

Zayn finally couldn't stand it and started advising her not to be like that.

However, she ignored his advice and continued with the habit.

Until one day, the university festival was held, and of course, Zayn was the protagonist at the end of the show, performing his own song.

Hearing his soft and beautiful voice drove all the women in the university insane, and his flawless appearance complemented his entire performance on stage to perfection.

Many people recorded him and posted all over the internet at that time, and it was at this starting point that he began to continuously show his amazing talent in various fields other than singing, plus the Welston family background as the most powerful family in the capital, and he got the title of "Perfect Prince" from people.

Many women tried to approach him, either from his own university or even from other universities.

Every morning he received so many love letters; it was like a normal routine for him.

How could it not be? He was the prince every woman dreamed of—handsome, talented, and, most importantly, the only heir to the Welston family!

Even though all of them know that Zayn already has a girlfriend, Luna, who is a flower and the most beautiful woman in the university, they don't care and even try to snatch him from her!

But, of course, he rejected them all. He had a very beautiful, gentle, and elegant girlfriend by his side. Moreover, she was a woman he had been with since he was a child!

So, how could Zayn be interested in them?

However, it seems that his thoughts were different from Luna's at the time.

And at that time, Luna, who was getting restless as Zayn became more and more recognized in the capital, was afraid that Zayn would be taken by another woman and leave her.

A whole range of negative emotions came to Luna's mind—jealousy, fear of losing Zayn, and so on—which made her plan the perfect conspiracy to bind and confine Zayn as her own!

Luna tried to trap him in various ways, until one day he was caught and locked up in a warehouse.

And Mira happened not to be by his side at the time due to training with the butler outside the city.

At first, he was very confused and thought that the Welston family's enemies were after him.

However, after breaking free and taking out the guards, he knew that Luna was the one who had planned it all.

Fortunately, Luna was not there when he was arrested, and he guessed that she was called to the Asvart family mansion at that time.

He also found out that some of the women who approached him suddenly disappeared the next day, and it was because of that woman, Luna!

The woman who always appears elegant, calm, and gentle in front of him turns out to have a very strong obsession with him!

He didn't know when she became like that; perhaps it was a trait she had harbored for years, even before they started dating.

the trait to make him her own!

He felt sad, scared, and tired of it all, so he decided to stay away from Luna and break up with her.

Maybe this is called running away from a problem.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

He also felt a little scared and couldn't bear her obsessive love for himself.

So, he sent a message to Luna, saying, "I already know everything you did; you disappointed me; from now on, don't contact me again."

From then on, Zayn never spoke to Luna again,.

Also, Luna hadn't shown up since then, and he heard from his aunt, who was Luna's mother, that she was going abroad to continue her studies.

Maybe while he was in confinement, the Asvart family planned to send Luna abroad.

Zayn's guess at the time.

However, he still remembered that before she went abroad, she sent him a message: "I won't let you go, honey~"

This made him think that Luna would come back sooner or later.

But that was his biggest regret to date.

He should have prevented Luna from becoming so obsessive like that.

He should have paid more attention to her at all times.

However, it's all too late now.

Immediately, his mother's voice came on the other end of the phone.

"You should make up with Luna as soon as possible."

"If there are problems between you two, you should solve them and not run away."

"You are the successor of the Welston family, and you must be firm in dealing with things. Years of training should be put to use, right?" Carla's voice suddenly woke him from his reverie.

Moreover, after hearing his mother's words, he suddenly realized, "Right! I can't run away from problems like this, maybe it's my fault for not being strict with her and making her become like this."

"As the successor to the Welston family, I can't go on like this!"

As if waking up, Zayn immediately realized his mistake in running away from such problems.

Although he was always called a genius and went through rigorous training from the Welston family, he did not expect that the person who had framed him was his loved one, which was a hard blow to him.

Now that he had realized his past mistakes and would face Luna, especially since five years had passed since the incident, he and his mind were more mature and advanced now, unlike when he was 18 years old.

It wasn't that he had never thought of facing Luna, but he was too confused about how to do so. Her love, in particular, was too heavy for him to bear. He was always looking for excuses to avoid her, which caused him to always run away from this problem and bury everything inside himself.

Now, he must be able to step up and face it!

Whether for his parents, the family, or even Luna herself!

"Okay, mom, I'll solve this problem, thanks for teaching me." Zayn's voice was as confident as ever, without any hesitation.

"Fufufu~ That's my son, well I'll leave that to you." Carla's chuckle sounded on the other end of the phone.

Mira, who had been staying behind Zayn to give him space, was very happy, and her eyes were like crescent moons. She was very happy that her young master seemed to be able to face the problems that had been bothering him for years.

"Well, if you already know that Luna and Chloe are your fiancées, as well as Mira," Carla breathed a sigh of relief after this, because after she found out that her son and Luna broke up, she was very angry and afraid that her son was stubborn and didn't want to make up with her.

Fortunately, her son remained her son, very sensible and clear-headed.

The corner of Zayn's mouth twitched, and he suddenly realized that his mother had referred to his younger sister, Chloe, as his fiancée.

And he knew this must have been the content of the agreement between Chloe and his mother when Chloe was angry that Charlotte was his fiancée.

However, he didn't continue to ask and just accepted it because if he continued to ask and complain, his mother would definitely scold him again and the conversation would be longer.

Of course, for now in his heart, he could not yet consider Chloe as the opposite sex because he always thought of her as a younger sister, even though he was not related to her by blood.

It was better to leave it to time when and how he could accept Chloe as the opposite sex.

Zayn sighed and thought.

"Alright, mom, is there anything else?" Zayn wanted to end the call with his mom as soon as possible, as he felt Charlotte was nearing the mansion.

"Ara ara~ Don't you want to talk to your mother for a little longer?" Carla's teasing voice came back, so different from when she had scolded him earlier.

"It's not like that, mom; Charlotte will be here soon, and I'll welcome her." Zayn rolled his eyes and sighed softly.

He really can't argue with his parents!

Maybe this is his biggest weakness—his family and his loved ones.

So, he tries to protect and take care of them all!

"Hum~ Alright. But, I have one more piece of news that I haven't told you yet, right?"

Zayn remembered his mother telling him that she had three shocking news stories to tell him.

One was the news of the engagement breakup; another was his three fiancées; and lastly... He really couldn't guess, but it made him curious about what else his mom would say.

"Well, could you tell me right away?"

However, Carla did not answer his question, and he heard the sound of breathing on the other end of the phone.

Soon, the answer surprised Zayn even more than the news of his engagement to the three girls!

"You have a new little sister!" Carla's excited voice was heard by him.

"What?! Are you adopting another child?" Zayn was shocked by this news, after all, if he had another sibling, then he had to love them!

It's not that he refused; it's just that he was really confused, since there was Chloe by his side, and he was really overwhelmed to spoil his little sister, even though now she should be his fiancée.

However, she's still my sister, for now...

"Of course not, it's your real sister~" Carla chuckled and replied.

"So, are you?" Zayn asked in a daze.

"Yes, just as you thought!"

"I became pregnant nine months ago and just gave birth to a daughter, fufufu~ Are you surprised?" Carla was very satisfied with her beloved son's reaction.

Zayn is completely speechless right now.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ His mother and father had been gone for almost a year.

They both said that they wanted to take a vacation and spend time together.

Of course, Zayn, being the dutiful son that he is, agrees wholeheartedly.

Initially, they told him that they would spend about 5 months on their vacation, but it had been almost a year since they had been on vacation.

Zayn was worried at first and asked them if they were okay, to which they replied that they were having fun.

He was relieved that they were okay, but now his mom was telling him that she was pregnant and having a daughter? So, was the one-year vacation because his mom was pregnant?

Many questions came to his mind.

"Surprised! I am so surprised, mom! But why didn't you tell me earlier? You two had me worried, you know?"

"Gone for almost a year." Zayn told his mother this in a sad and upset tone.

Even though they said they were fine, he couldn't help but worry about their safety.

As the current leader and wife of the Welston family, what if they had an accident or were secretly attacked by the Welston family's enemies? This was what Zayn was worried about!

He was both happy and sad.

happy that they were safe and had a little sister, but disappointed that they didn't tell him sooner. Although it was a surprise to him, their safety was the most important thing to him.

Knowing that she made a mistake with her son, Carla immediately apologized and said sadly, "Well, dear, I'm sorry mom and dad didn't tell you that earlier."

"We made you worry about our safety; we shouldn't have done that."

"So, can you forgive me, my dear son~?"

Zayn sighed and said softly, "Well, it's okay if you're okay, mom."

He really couldn't be angry with his mother, especially since his anger earlier was just because he was annoyed for a moment.

"Thank you my dear son~" Carla's happy voice sounded on the other end of the phone.

Feeling that the mood had improved, Zayn immediately asked his mother curiously, "Mom, what is my little sister's name?"

"We haven't named her yet, dear."

"Ah! How about you give her a name? Count it as our apology for making you worry, dear."

Zayn was surprised and asked softly, "Would it be okay if I gave her a name?"

"Of course, you are her older brother." Carla spoke softly and confidently.

Zayn held his chin and thought of a suitable name for his new little sister.

"By the way, is it winter there?" Suddenly, he asked his mother.

Carla didn't understand why her son was asking such a question, but she still replied, "Yes, it's snowing here, my son. Why?"

Zayn's eyes lit up, and he soon found a suitable name for his new little sister.

"I've been thinking about it, mom. What if she's named "Noel Welston," a name that signifies that she was born when it was snowing?" Zayn said, and a small smile appeared on his lips.

He was so happy to be able to name his little sister. Although they haven't met yet, his affection is already full for this new little sister.

"What a beautiful name, my child! Just what my dear son was hoping for!" Carla's excited voice could be heard on the other end of the phone.

"Well, we will name her "Noel Welston," and I hope she will be smart and talented like her handsome brother."

"Also, so that you can love each other."

Zayn smiled happily at that and said, "Don't worry, mom. I will take care of her and spoil her like I spoiled Chloe."

"Fufufu! I trust you, my son." Carla chuckled.

Suddenly, Mira, who was smiling at Zayn, who was laughing happily, received news from the gatekeeper that Charlotte had arrived.

Immediately, she called Zayn and said, "Young master, Miss Charlotte has arrived and will be entering soon."

Zayn nodded his head and said to his mom on the phone, "Mom, Charlotte's here; I'll greet her soon, so that's all we're talking about."

"Well, my dear son, take care of yourself and quickly settle the matter between you and Charlotte."

"Oh, yes, you pick up Luna at the airport tomorrow; your aunt told me she'll arrive tomorrow afternoon from abroad." Carla quickly reminded him.

Zayn didn't argue and said quickly, "Alright mom, don't worry, I'll get everything done before you get back."

"As expected of my son, be good and send your regards to Mira and Charlotte."

"Beep~"

The phone was immediately switched off by her mother.

After the phone was switched off, Zayn smiled at Mira and hugged her gently.

"I'll solve the problem with Charlotte soon, so don't worry."

Zayn referred to Mira's previous hunch and gave her peace of mind.

"Well, I believe in Young Master." Mira hugged Zayn tightly and buried her head in Zayn's chest.

Zayn was suddenly dissatisfied with her call and said teasingly, "Not young master, but husband."

"Husband~" Mira's face turned red again.

Zayn smiled triumphantly and stroked Mira's head gently.

"Alright, Charlotte will be here." He let go of her hug and remembered Charlotte was nearby.

"Well, I'll prepare tea for my husband~ and Miss Charlotte." Mira smiled and walked out of the living room.

Zayn nodded and smiled softly, then he sat on the sofa and waited for Charlotte to arrive.

"Charlotte, let's see if we can be friends after this or..." Zayn's black eyes contained a deep calmness.
