46.

Tok, tok.

Raindrops knocked on the window.

What are you trying to get into? Jamie muttered to himself, then got up and closed the window.

Took, toduk. After a few seconds, the sound of raindrops getting louder, and then it started to rain in earnest.

Early summer night, sudden rain.

Because there were two overlapping factors that make people think, Jamie was lost in thought for a while.

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

No, I was going to sleep.

Hey – hey hey. If it wasn’t for the sudden cries of Kai.

Jamie quickly went into the bedroom and hugged Kai.

“Oh, my Kai. Did you wake up to the sound of rain?”

Jamie used to tease and soothe Kai. Fortunately, Kai soon stopped crying.

Whiyu. Jamie let out a sound between a whistle and a sigh, and came back into the living room with Kai in his arms.

shoot—ah.

In that short time, the rain was pouring beyond pouring.

It sounded like the cicadas’ cicadas’ cries in midsummer, and it also sounded like an alarm that signaled that something big was about to happen.

‘Well.’

Jamie was lost in thought for a moment, listening to the sound of rain filling his ears.

I think I’ve had a similar experience like this.

Was it a similar situation to now? Was it a completely different situation?

“honey. Is it raining now?”

I was lost in thought, but at some point, Hannah opened the bathroom door and came out.

“I think I heard Kai cry too, right?”

“Yeah, I did.”

“Ohhhhh, my dear. You are now a real father.”

Hanna leaned on her from behind.

“Oh, it will.”

She must have wiped herself off with a towel, but the water was still there, so Jamie couldn’t help flinching.

“It’s very wet from the front to the back.”

“what. In the past, if this was the case, I would have responded right away.”

“…what reaction?”

“What kind of reaction is that?”

Because he was holding Kai, Jamie moved one step quickly without rushing.

“Wow, watch them run away.”

“I’m catching a cold, hurry up and get dressed.”

“Look at me, don’t even look back. Ugh, I’ll hold out for a few more months.”

What are you enduring? It seemed like he knew and he didn’t know, but Jamie decided not to know.

“Is Kai sleeping well?”

“yes.”

After a while, the two finished getting ready for bed and lay side by side on the bed. Kai was also lying quietly on a nearby crib.

“Do you remember what I said when I first came to this house?”

One minute, two minutes. After a brief silence, Jamie asked.

“yes?”

“I said I didn’t feel it.”

“I?”

“yes.”

“Ummm… Did you?”

Hannah thought for a moment.

shoot—

Then the unexpected sound of rain came again.

“yes. I remember. right. You said that.”

“I thought I knew what Hannah must have felt at that time. I was holding Kai in my arms and looking outside, but suddenly I couldn’t believe it.”

“what?”

Hanna put one of her legs on top of Jamie’s stomach. 100 million. Jamie let out a moan on purpose, and Hannah, who was offended by this, lowered her legs.

“sorry.”

“I’m messing around. Be careful.”

“Yep.”

Hanna put her legs back on her stomach.

“Anyway, living in a newlywed house with Hannah, thinking that she was holding a child, suddenly didn’t feel real.”

“Hannah is my child.”

Hannah frowned and protested.

“Hannah is my child, and that is our child. Just get over it.”

Jamie pressed his index finger between Hannah’s forehead, and Hannah laughed and shook her head.

“So, honey. Still can’t believe it?”

“I can feel it now.”

“Oh? I heard it didn’t happen a while ago.”

“That’s right…”

Then Jamie turned his head around.

“Because Yo soft and chewy is next to me!”

Then, unexpectedly, he touched Hannah’s side flesh.

“Aagh!”

Hannah laughed again and turned around.

“Oh, skin elasticity is no joke. uh? It’s very human konjac.”

“hahahahaha, stop.”

Jamie did not slow down his offensive posture. It was because he knew that the moment he slowed down, a counterattack would come.

“Ugh, why are you suddenly like this? Surrender, surrender!”

Hey Ae-Ang. Jamie’s shower of attacks was interrupted by Kai’s sobbing.

“Woo, let’s eat Mama Kai and see you.”

“ha ha ha.”

While Hannah feeds Kai ‘mamma’, burps her, and puts her back to sleep, the rain gradually subsides and then stops.

Then came a perfect stillness.

“···weird.”

“Yeah.”

It seemed to subside a little, but also a very comfortable and peaceful atmosphere flowed through the room.

“Honey said she felt it, but in fact, I still don’t feel it.”

After a while, when Hannah got used to the silence, she opened her mouth again.

“Honey comes to Stoke City, gets married, gets promoted to the Championship within a year as promised, gives birth to Kai… all these things.”

“A pleasant awkwardness.”

“yes?”

“I thought about why it didn’t feel real, and I just decided to think differently. I don’t know why, but it’s a pleasant awkwardness anyway. It’s a sense of heterogeneity that I feel because I’m so happy.”

Pleasant awkwardness. Hanna muttered along Jamie’s words.

“Yeah, I guess.”

And soon after, he smiled.

“hahahaha. How can our Hannah be so cute even when she becomes a mother?”

Jamie pinched her cheek like that.

“lol. ah!”

Hanna laughed again, then opened her eyes wide as if something had suddenly come to mind.

“What time is it?”

“uh? Well, is it ten o’clock?”

“no. have to sleep Let’s go to sleep.”

“suddenly?”

“Suddenly, what a sudden. You should go to bed at ten o’clock. It’s the first league game tomorrow!”

Oh, that’s what I was talking about. Jamie turned and looked at the ceiling.

“If it’s a championship, the weakest team will be at Huddersfield level. Ugh.”

“Well, I guess that’s usually the case.”

“But honey, aren’t you nervous?”

“yes? Why are you nervous?”

“Oh?”

“What’s wrong? I’m not nervous in the first place…”

Jamie stopped talking.

In my previous life, no matter how important a game was, I didn’t get nervous or nervous. However, after returning to the past, there were many things that I was so nervous that I could hear the sound of my heart with my ears, as if it had suddenly become a bird’s chest. The last League Cup final, against Manchester City, was particularly severe.

“not.”

Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all

No, it didn’t become a bird’s chest.

Realizing an important fact, Jamie smiled.

“What, what a bad feeling. Why don’t you talk and split the thread alone!”

“Ha ha ha ha ha.”

Instead of answering, Jamie burst into laughter.

The reason he suddenly became nervous was simple.

It was because I developed affection for the team called Stoke City.

**

[We will be with you, we will be with you. ]

[We will always be together. ]

[Tell the young people in the red and white uniforms. ]

[I hope everything will be fine. ]

[ city! city! ]

[You are the pride of all of us. ]

city, city. You are the pride of all of us.

Before the game, Jamie was singing along to the last part in her mind.

I felt tension, trembling, or exhilaration welling up in my upper chest.

“Lee was impressed.”

“… Mutombo.”

At that time, Mutombo spoke from behind. Jamie turned his head, feeling a strange sense of deja vu.

“You use the past tense well now.”

“Mutombo is smart.”

“Yes, yes.”

Jamie turned his head back to the crowd and waved. Wow – ah. Then, as if in response, they shouted loudly.

As if this look was good, Mutombo waved his hand, and the crowd sent the same reaction again.

“Our supporters, aren’t they always the same?”

“Yes. Mutombo was emotional.”

“A la verga!”

The two of them were talking, but I heard Spanish profanity behind me again.

Yes, another weirdo has been added. Jamie let out an internal sigh.

“Sancho.”

And without looking back, he said.

“Oh, Jay. How did you know it was me?”

chin. Vincent Herrero-Sancho put his arm around Jamie’s shoulder.

“Are you the only one speaking Spanish here?”

“Right. Anyway, it doesn’t matter, Amigo. The important thing is that the Stoke supporters are very passionate. I think they are much more passionate than the Mallorca supporters.”

Then he waved his free arm toward the crowd.

As expected, wow, the supporters responded.

“All la Verga! i like you guys Up! Today is my debut, Amigos. Please take good care of me!”

Ooooh! The supporters responded fiercely again.

Whew. Jamie let out an internal sigh and turned around.

“Let’s go, let’s go.”

“Uh, yes.”

Dung, Dung.

Dung, Dung, Dung.

if u see this you eather reading in epub or from somewhere other than noble so just bear with it it may break the flow but nothing can be done sigh

My heart started beating again.

Hearing the beat of the drums of the supporters and the rhythmic beat of his heart, Jamie struggled to maintain a calm expression as he moved on.

Beep.

After a while, the referee announced the start of the first game after promotion.

‘The opposing one-top is pretty threatening. If we are careful with this, we can win.’

Before the game, coach Charlie didn’t talk much in the locker room.

‘Win and come.’

Opponent: Coventry City FC.

Going back and forth between the Championship and League One, it can be said that in a way it is a team that doesn’t have much to do with it. Still, it is also a place where quite famous players such as Craig Bellamyna Robbie Keane and Joe Cole stayed.

‘Damien will be remembered that way too.’

Jamie looked at the player loitering on the opposing team’s offensive end.

Damian Manable.

Despite his tall stature, he possesses graceful ballkeeping and skill.

Because of that, the player who later earned the nickname ‘Post Berbatov’.

Right before returning, he was also a teammate who played together at Manchester United.

‘At this point, is it twenty-one or twenty-two?’

As far as I remember with Jamie, he was around the same age as himself.

“Ralph, come down more!”

“Mario, what are you doing! You have to cover it!”

In the meantime, the Stoke City bench team kept busy delivering instructions.

It was the first asymmetrical formation operation in an official game. That’s why there were still a lot of creaky parts. Among them, the right fullback, who has a wider range of activities than usual, made a lot of mistakes.

It’s risky. Jamie, who was joining the defense from the bottom of the half line, looked at the Stoke camp with an anxious gaze.

“ah!”

In the end, in the 20th minute of the first half, the right fullback Mario vaguely kicked the ball and passed it to the opposing winger.

“It’s Damien!”

“Mutombo!”

It is a self-evident fact that the taller Damian will win the cross.

Stoke City’s defense, especially Mutombo, the mark dedicated to Damian, hardened his face with tension.

A cross came up soon…

‘Well?’

The ball passed through Damian’s head and into the central midfielder penetrating from behind.

“Hit!”

“Narrow the angle!”

The opponent fired a direct shot without hesitation.

shhhhh. The shot flew low and fast toward the left corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Oliver was on the other side trying to cut Damien’s cross.

It was a fleeting moment, but it seemed obvious that the shot would lead to a goal.

Per-billion.

However, the results were different.

Vincent Errero, who ran up to him before he knew it, slid and blocked it with his body.

Whoa-ooh.

The crowd sighed in relief in unison.

“Wow, Sancho!”

“Nice block, Sancho!”

Harry reached over and tousled his hair.

“There is still a corner kick left. Stay seated!”

Even after showing a super play, Vincent Herrero clapped his hands and demanded the players’ concentration.

‘It’s so different from my usual appearance.’

Jamie’s eyes couldn’t help but widen as he watched the scene.
