Chapter 240: Consider yourself lucky
Odin entered the house around midnight and headed to his room when he found Venus in the living room, strolling around.
"Why aren’t you asleep?" Odin queried with a frown. He slowly came to a halt, waiting for her to answer.
Venus turned her head to glance at him. "I was unable to sleep because I rested the entire day," she replied.
"It’s going to strike midnight soon," said Odin. "Go to your room," he suggested. When Venus didn’t stand up, he wondered what could be bothering her. ’Why does it even matter to me?’ he thought, ready to leave for his room.
"Eugene’s cousin came earlier," Venus informed him.
Odin’s gaze sharpened with intrigue. "His cousin? What for?" he pressed.
Venus fiddled with her fingers, a nervous habit. "Solomon wanted to see me and said he needed to talk. But I refused; I’ve cut ties with that part of my life," she declared firmly.
"I should go to bed. Good night," Venus said and turned on her heels when she felt Odin’s hand on her shoulder, making her stop. She pivoted to look at him. His pale skin looked yellow under the dim light of the candles.
"Don’t tell me Solomon was interested in you," Odin said.
