Chapter 369: Ambermoon Festival 2
Venus lifted her head and found herself staring into Odin’s stoic eyes. As usual his expression was unreadable. Without a word, she walked past him, acting as though he didn’t exist in her world.
Odin’s lips curled into a faint smile as he watched her reaction, amused by her attempt to ignore him. He began to follow her, his footsteps calm and measured.
’Why is he following me?’ Venus thought, her mind racing. She quickly approached a stall where various women’s beauty accessories were displayed, hoping to lose him among the crowd.
She picked up a hair clip, her gaze discreetly shifting to see if Odin was still there. To her dismay, he was standing nearby, his eyes locked on her with an intensity that made her heart race.
"Do you want this one, Miss?" the lady shopkeeper asked in her kind voice.
"I’ll check a few more," Venus replied. She didn’t particularly care for the clip’s quality, but she was desperate to avoid Odin’s piercing gaze. She pretended to search for a better option, her fingers grazing over the assortment of clips on display.
Without warning, Odin reached out and picked up a hair clip, one he selected at random. He stepped closer, placing it gently on Venus’s head. The women nearby began to whisper among themselves, their giggles filling the air, adding to Venus’s discomfort.
"I think this one will look better on you," Odin remarked, his tone confident and almost possessive as he adjusted the clip in her hair.
"This pearl one is quite expensive, Mister," the lady shopkeeper chimed in, her voice oozing with politeness. "But for a young lady with a face as radiant as the moon, this clip will certainly enhance her beauty."
