Chapter 251: You’ll become my wife
"How long are you going to avoid me?" asked Odin as he lowered the parchment on his lap. Venus was almost done eating the berries and was ready to leave, but stopped upon hearing Odin’s words.
He expected a response from her, but all she did was shoot a glare at him. She put the bowl on the table and left her seat. Odin realized that she hadn’t forgiven him for his remark.
’I shouldn’t be bothered because of it,’ he thought and focused his attention on the parchment.
Venus thought of retreating to her room. The rain had been pouring since early morning, preventing her from even stepping out for a walk in the garden. As she made her way to the staircase, a servant called out from behind, causing her to halt.
"Miss Venus, the seamstress has sent the dress," the servant informed her.
Venus thanked the servant and took the dress, which she was supposed to wear shortly for Serena’s wedding. She hoped the rain would stop soon to make travel less difficult.
"Why don’t we just send the wedding present and money for your friend, Miss Venus?" suggested Head Maid Collie. "In such rainfall, it’s not wise to go out. Moreover, Miss Serena lives quite far from here," she pointed out.
Odin overheard the conversation and decided to speak up. "I’m not in the mood to go out today. Just stay in your room," he ordered Venus, anticipating that she might start begging him to take her to the wedding venue.
However, Venus didn’t even respond to him. Instead, she calmly said to the head maid, "I will attend the wedding a bit later. Perhaps when the rain intensity lowers. But I can’t miss Serena’s wedding."
