104.
Inside an upscale restaurant in Stoke-on-Trent.
“…”
Jamie carefully put the fork down.
He said he was adjusting his pace, but Jamie, who couldn’t eat much because it was in season, ended up eating earlier than the other party.
‘Should I pretend to eat?’
I had that thought for a moment, but Jamie soon changed his mind.
The other person will understand anyway. Judging by that, he looked out the window.
The sun was going down. The whole landscape was turning red.
The same goes for the slow-moving clouds with a dark gray color. Before I knew it, I was leisurely swimming on top of the falling sun, dyed red.
“Have you eaten?”
At the other person’s words, Jamie looked forward again.
Before I knew it, my father-in-law had put down his fork and was drinking champagne.
“Ah yes.”
“I think we should eat dessert. Could you please wait a bit?”
“Of course, father-in-law.”
Jamie said with a smile, and the father-in-law also smiled.
Soon after, the staff cleared the table and brought dessert. Since there was no game today, it was necessary to control calories, and Jamie sipped tea as he had asked for permission in advance.
‘Why didn’t you say anything?’
Because he insisted on seeing Hannah and Kai alone, Jamie secretly expected that his father-in-law would have something to say.
However, the father-in-law did not say much even though he was eating dessert after the meal. No, he just barely said anything.
To add an exaggeration, I was less talkative than when I was standing in front of the tombstone in my last life together.
‘At that time, reality was like hell.’
The smile that lingered on Jamie’s lips disappeared at the sudden thought.
After Hannah died, Jamie wandered around the world without a destination. There were times when I played in Germany and times when I played in France, but I didn’t stay anywhere more than a year.
It was a ride wherever I went. No matter how luxurious a house you bought, it didn’t feel like a house.
Then he returned to the past and settled in Stoke City.
‘It’s like a dream.’

Life with loved ones. The life of seeing the faces of loved ones every day, having conversations, and eating together has become a reality. For Jamie, every day felt like a dream.
And now, at this moment, Jamie’s past life before returning to the past felt as distant as a dream. Of course, that dream was a nightmare, not an ordinary dream.
“Now wake up.”
The father-in-law, who finished the dessert before he knew it, said while wiping his mouth with a napkin.
‘Uh, shouldn’t it be like this?’
As Jamie looked at her in bewilderment, the father-in-law grinned again.
“I must have thought that the words “Let’s have a meal” had a different meaning.”
“…”
“Well, that’s not a common idea. hahahaha. But literally, I called because I wanted to buy you an expensive meal.”
“Ah, ha ha ha.”
Jamie laughed awkwardly, as he was still confused by his father-in-law’s words.
“Thank you for eating with us.”
“No, father-in-law. I’m grateful. I really enjoyed the meal.”

Next, the father-in-law stood up and spoke, and Jamie quickly responded and got up after him.
‘If it was just for dinner, why didn’t Hannah and Kai be called?’

Later, even while the father-in-law paid the bill and received the car keys, Jamie tried to figure out the father-in-law’s intentions.
“Apart from the fact that you are my son-in-law, I wanted to buy an expensive meal for the player who will make my dream come true.”
The reason I was able to understand my father-in-law was thanks to his last words in front of the restaurant door.
dream.
‘Yes, a dream.’
To be precise, I was able to understand it only when I heard the words.
“Did you not say anything?”
A while later, after returning home, I was about to lie down on the bed when Hanna asked.
‘Why am I asking this now?’
Since it had been quite some time since he returned home, Jamie turned his head with a puzzled feeling.
Hannah was tidying up the bedding as if she wasn’t interested.
‘It’s a staged indifference.’
Jamie knew right away.
“They said that the two of them were eating together, so I wondered if they just ate together.”
“yes. I just ate.”
“… Uhm. I see.”
how will we do it. Let’s pretend we don’t know and take a little more medicine. After much thought, Jamie decided to do just that.
“now. Turn off the fire?”
“···yes.”
Even while Hannah was curious, she turned on the flashlight on her cell phone. Soon, Jamie was safely in bed, and Hanna turned to Jamie as soon as she turned off the flashlight.
“Didn’t you really talk to your dad?”
Unfortunately, Hanna immediately revealed her true intentions.
“ha ha ha.”
Jamie couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Why are you laughing!”
“Because it’s cute.”
“what the.”
When Jamie laughed, Hannah burst out laughing as if it was absurd.
“So, what is the answer?”
“You didn’t say anything.”
“really?”
“really.”
How can I tell Hannah to believe me? Jamie summarized the contents of the last conversation after a short thought. In a way that does not harm the privacy of the father-in-law.
“Aha. I wondered if there was a conversation between men, a secret story, or something like that. lol.”
“I have something to talk about with my father-in-law.”
Hannah crept into Jamie’s arms, and Jamie hugged her and stroked her hair.
“it was tasty?”
“yes.”
“All right then. Let’s go to bed early. There is an important game tomorrow.”
“yes.”
The ‘important game tomorrow’, Hannah said, was against Manchester City.
Hue the great ducks army admiral is coming for u all
Not long before the end of the season, a league match between 1st and 2nd place in the league.
In fact, it was a game that was equivalent to a league championship match.
“Honey, I need to sleep, so I’ll lie down straight now.”
“It’s fine.”
“Nope! You have to manage your condition!”
Hannah slipped out of Jamie’s arms as if she were running away from there, then turned to look at the ceiling.
“…”
Then, he started making ‘fake sleeper breathing sounds’.
It was the day before the Premier League title match, as promised when I first came to Stoke City.
She had a lot to say.
However, he seemed to be pretending to be asleep beyond sparing his words, not wanting to burden Jamie by saying unnecessary things.
“Goodnight, Hannah.”
Hannah’s consideration couldn’t be wasted, so Jamie didn’t say much and only greeted briefly.
“…Yes, honey, good night too.”
Hanna seemed to think for a moment, then answered briefly.
Jamie smiled quietly.

“Jay! Where?”
“Wait, go to the bathroom.”
The next day, Stoke City’s home ground Bet 777 Stadium.
Before the game, Jamie left the locker room and headed to the bathroom.
As we have an important game ahead, it was to do the initial routine of our debut after a long time.
‘Five.’
Fortunately, no one was in the bathroom.
Jamie stood in front of the sink and turned on the faucet. Then, as if waiting, water poured out.
“…”
Originally, after lathering enough soap, I had to wash my hands slowly. Afterwards, washing your face with cold water and observing your face in the mirror until the water is dry is the order of the routine.
But suddenly, I realized that I don’t need to wash my hands.
‘Why?’
‘Why did you include hand washing in your routine?’
Then the thought developed into a more fundamental question, and Jamie blankly looked down at his dry hand.
Routines don’t mean much. As a result, it is formed naturally.
Jamie’s routine of washing her hands, washing her face, and looking in the mirror was the same.
I was nervous before the game, so I naturally went to the bathroom, and naturally washed my hands after going to the toilet. After that, I washed my face and looked in the mirror to make up my mind.
‘There is no need to wash something.’
‘The past doesn’t matter anymore.’
Unrefined sentences came to mind in a chain and then disappeared.
‘What are you doing here?’
The last was self-help. Jamie smiled slightly and came out of the bathroom.
“Jamie, say something.”
After a while, on the ground before the start of the game.
Captain Oliver said to Jamie.
‘Well······.’
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
Manchester City suffered an unexpected defeat in the FA Cup semi-final against West Ham United a few days ago.
I ate the winning goal right before the end of the game, and I was quite surprised at the time I watched it live, but now that I think about it, I wonder if Man City relaxed for today.
This was because three of the four starting midfielders were rotation resources, and even one midfielder, who was the main player alone, was replaced in the second half.
‘Let’s forget the FA Cup game. Manchester City may have saved their strength. Besides, we already lost once in the last league match. We must not be vigilant.’
Jamie, who was organizing the sentence in his head, shook his head internally and then erased it.
“Let’s win.”
And only the essentials were briefly mentioned.
“···what. Is that the end?”
“I guess I ran out of comments.”
“Jamie is not a good talker. Let us understand.”
“Yes, it was enough for a soccer player to be good at soccer.”
“…”
Unfortunately, Jamie had to be laughed at, not laughed at right away.
“I can’t speak.”
At the end, he almost got angry when he saw Benjama helping, but Jamie managed to regain his senses.
“Do I really need to say much? Like Jamie said, win. got it? Stoke.”
“Stoke!”
The match soon began, and Jamie quickly entered the information on the pitch into his head.
‘Abel starts at a higher place.’
Abel Simon has previously been tasked with coordinating Manchester City’s offense and defense in the third line. But today, I have been actively putting pressure on the center of the second line.
‘ah.’
In the 14th minute of the first half, he teamed up with another central midfielder to steal the ball from Ralph and hit the arc of the penalty box himself.
puck-. He then attempted a strong mid-range shot.
The speed, angle, and timing were all good.
“ah-!”
“Nice try, Abel.”
Fortunately for Stoke City, Abel’s shot went just off the post.
‘As expected, he’s a dangerous guy.’
Jamie let out a short exhalation as if breathing a sigh of relief, then looked at Abel as he returned to his seat.
[Stoke City vs Manchester City, what is the point of watching? ]
ㄴ [Jamie and Abel, two aces face-to-face]
There were quite a few articles like this before the game.
Currently, Jamie and Abel are ranked first and second in the Premier League assist rankings side by side. Comparing the two in the media was, in some ways, a natural phenomenon.
“Jay!”
Jamie was not very conscious of this fact. However, I had no intention of losing.
Two-woong.
In the 18th minute of the first half, Jamie, who received Harry’s pass, beat the midfielder who had previously stolen the ball from Ralph with Abel.
It was only pure speed, but Jamie didn’t slow down after that.
“Don’t stick!”
“Keep your distance!”
The coaches shouted urgently from the Manchester City bench.
However, it was not a very meaningful action.
“…!”
Jamie moved to the right, knocking off even the defensive midfielder, and then turned to Beng, who was in his original position, to move to the center.
The sharp change of direction felt a slight strain on my knees. However, it was not a big deal, and Jamie slightly slowed down and opened the shooting angle by painting the upper body.
The location is the penalty box arc.
The angle and timing were perfect. There was no reason not to try shooting.
puck.
And······.
[eee-YeeeA! ]
Even the shooting and results were perfect.
