Rion invited Odette to have a meal together. The place Rion chose was the place where Odette and Aerith ate together yesterday.
“You know the favorite menu here is...”
“Grilled squid and crab soup,” Odette said curtly. She was still in a bad mood.
Rion smiled. “How do you know?”
“I was here yesterday,” Odette said flatly.
“You must have eaten a lot.”
Odette’s eyes narrowed. “What do you mean? Are you saying that I’m greedy or that my appetite is terrible?”
‘Looks like she’s in his period. Ugh, a troublesome time for the husband because in that period the wife can be very grumpy and sulky. They also become sensitive and cry easily, making the husband confused and frustrated.’
“It’s not like that. I mean, the food here is very good. Anyone will eat a lot if they eat at this place,” Rion said, making excuses. &ld
Rion still hadn’t given up on making Odette’s mood get better. After an attempt to show love through the food failed, he tried another way.He bought a lot of lanterns and hung them in various places in the backyard of the inn, including on the twigs and the branches of trees that had no leaves.He then took the table and chairs on the terrace and placed them in the middle of the backyard. After that, he arranged the food that he had bought with the lanterns.“Perfect,” Rion said while clapping his hands together. He had just made the backyard of the inn the perfect place to have a candlelight dinner.Next, he should take Odette down to have dinner with him.If the normal way didn’t work, he would use brute force. He promised!“Odette.” He opened the door and saw Odette sitting in a chair while reading a book.“Odette, come with me,” he said, holding out his hand.“Whe
After eating, they walked while holding hands together to go back into the inn. The atmosphere was very awkward.Tap.Odette stopped her step, making Rion also stop.“I’m sorry, Rion,” she said while looking at Rion who was looking at her.“I’ve answered your question. Now, answer mine. Why did you suddenly become like this?” Rion asked.“I’m scared.”“Scared?”Odette smiled blankly, then looked down on her feet, remembering the image of her mother who looked sad and angry when she asked about her father.Rion lifted Odette’s chin and made her face turn towards him. “What are you afraid of? Tell me?” he asked.“I’m afraid of being dumped by you,” said Odette with teary eyes, looking like she was going to cry. “I was afraid you would throw me away, Rion,” she added, then started crying.Rion quickly wip
On the way back to the inn, Anwen continued to annoy Trish by saying things that made him feel the girl tried to tease him.If only she wasn’t the king’s favorite princess and sister. Ugh… Trish didn’t know what he would do to the young girl.It was annoying!“Trish, come on if you want to cry, just cry. I won’t tell anyone,” Anwen said, forcing Trish to cry.“But I don’t want to cry.” Trish stopped. He released Anwen’s hand that was wrapped around his arm. Trish strode into the inn and walked towards his room. However, he suddenly froze when he heard a woman’s sexy scream from upstairs.Shit!He bit his lower lip. Aish, why did he have to hear such a voice when he was heartbroken?The screams could be heard again. He closed his eyes and held his breath before turning to leave the inn. His eyes dilated when he saw Anwen rushing upstairs and was about to kick Rion
People in that place gathered around and watched Anwen and Trish. Trish and Anwen’s faces were already red, and they hiccuped a few times. Even Trish looked like he was going to throw up. “F-four,” said Trish, putting down the bottle of the last wine he could drink. He was already very dizzy and nauseous. If he continued, Trish felt that he would be killed by this ridiculous challenge. “Six. I told you… you will lose,” Anwen said. She put down the bottle while hiccupping. “I won,” she added. Anwen stood up, followed by Trish, who staggered to his feet. “We’ll escort you back.” “No need. I’m a knight. I can go home alone,” Trish said. “Let’s go home,” he added, heading for the exit. Trish had to endure it. He shouldn’t faint before reaching the inn. If that happened, Anwen would underestimate him even more. He couldn’t let that happen. Trish walked with wide strides while holding his head. However, he fell backward, feeling the area around him spinning. Dizzy…. Anwen grabbed Tr
Odette sat on the sofa watching Rion pacing back and forth waiting for Anwen and Trish. “Rion, calm down,” she said. Rion had been like that since ten minutes ago. “How can I calm down? You know how much I love Anwen. I would never accept it if a man ruined her, even if it was Trish!” Rion grumbled. He was very expressive right now. From his expression alone, Odette could tell the man was furious. “But, Anwen said nothing happened. You’d better sit and wait for them quietly,” said Odette, pulling Rion to sit next to her. Not long after that, Anwen came, followed by Trish. “Sit down,” Rion ordered. Anwen and Trish complied. “Now explain.” Rion looked at the two people in front of him alternately. Before explaining, Anwen took a deep breath. She told Rion about her and Trish getting drunk after doing the most ridiculous thing, the wine challenge. “Nothing happened, Brother. Please trust me. After dropping Trishy off, I slept beside him because I felt so dizzy.” Trish, who listen
Rion and Odette sat in the middle of the crowd at the front of the stage. Anwen took them to see a fashion show held by Levin Jerry. Kaven and several other young men were already on the stage, showing the collection of winter clothes and the latest fashion models made by Luminous tailors. The voices of the girls calling KC while clapping their hands could be heard loudly as Kaven gave his best smile at them. “He is really popular,” Anwen muttered, and Trish glanced at her with a complicated expression. Rion smiled and gripped Odette’s hand tightly. He always felt uneasy being in the crowd. He was worried that he would have a relapse, but knowing that Odette was by his side, Rion felt at ease. However, his expression changed to a strange one when he saw Odette’s eyes sparkling with one corner of her lip slightly lifted up. The girl was looking at a man on the stage who was showing off the clothes with a wide open collar, revealing his muscular arms and broad chest. “Ahem.” Odett
*** “Forgive us, Your Highness.” Amy and Mara fell down. They kissed the floor while begging for forgiveness in front of Cristela. The old queen's brows furrowed in deep thought. She wondered who was the one that had kidnapped and interrogated Amy and Marta about Odette’s background. “Please get up,” she said after a moment of silence. The two women raised their heads and sat cross-legged while looking at Cristela, who was standing in front of them. “Can you tell me the characteristics of that person?” “No, Your Highness. The man and the people he was with covered their faces,” Amy explained. “But I know his voice well,” Marta chimed in. Cristela fell silent again. She was really curious as to who wanted to reveal Odette’s identity. “Forgive us, Your Highness.” Marta and Amy hit
Rion watched Odette silently in the doorway. “... Dario dumped Celestial after his goal was achieved. He even disowned Odette as his daughter.” Cristela’s words rang in his mind. After he heard Odette’s past, Rion's chest felt stuffy. He didn’t expect Dario to do something terrible like that. All this time, he saw Dario as a father who loved his daughter very much. Dario adored Rose, but he dumped Odette. Rion's heart ached thinking about it. After a long silence, he walked in. His arrival made Odette turn around and smiled. “How was your work today? Are you going to work late again tonight?” “No.” “Working hard is good, but you have to take care of your health too,” Odette said cheerfully. However, her face became serious when she saw a flat expression on Rion’s face. “What is it?”
