Chapter 12: A Narrow Encounter

The soup pot on the stove was steaming hot. The shrimp and clams are simmered slowly, and bubbles bubble up in the thick milk custard, from small to large until they burst, and the slightly sour milk aroma is released, flooding the entire kitchen space.

Jose scooped a little hot and sour soup with a spoon and tasted it, it tasted just right. In order to match the taste of Westerners, he has just put half a dozen fresh milk in the soup pot to make a creamy hot and sour soup that combines Chinese and Western. Then turn off the gas and admire Kareta as she chops vegetables on the side.

She rarely came to his house for dinner today. Early in the morning, she went to the ruins of the earthly temple of Eros, and there was still no trace of the Athena gemstone, so she simply found Jose when she was tired. She really missed her Hector.

Carette places the thin slices of pickled cucumber in a clear glass bowl, spreads a layer of feta cheese and mixes.

She doesn't cook too complicated meals, but this little case doesn't bother her, and she's interested in tinkering with the shiny stainless steel utensils of humans.

A pair of strong, powerful arms surrounded her from behind. Jose kissed her the cheek.

"Baby, I love this life. He whispered in her ear, "The ordinary days of cooking with you are also a kind of happiness." ”

Carette looked up and threw him a soft, quiet smile, and he took the opportunity to leave another kiss on her lips.

"If you have the chance, can you introduce me to your parents?"

His question tightened Kareette's heart, and she hung her head.

"Yes. "The voice is muffled.

Hector, who had been reincarnated as a modern human, knew nothing about the story between them on behalf of the gods, and there were some things that Kareta could not express to him at all.

Although the first step of the promise has been fulfilled, they have found each other and loved each other, but how to escape the eyes and ears of the Olympus gods and fly away together is a seemingly distant but very real problem.

No matter how stressful the future may be, and how dangerous the consequences will be, she is determined to bear it alone. The horrific scene of Hector being killed by the Greek army plays out in her mind, and now that he is born again for her, she must ensure his peace in this life.

Carette turned and looked at Jose for a long time, as if cherishing a priceless treasure that had been lost.

"Jose, will you be with me no matter what happens in the future?"

He couldn't understand the slightest hint of sadness in her affectionate eyes, but he was accustomed not to ask too much about what she didn't want to talk about. He is very confident in this relationship, and knows that he can no longer let go of this gentle and beautiful girl.

"I will, dear, I swear...", he hugged her and kissed her on the lips again...

The crystal ball was slammed against the cold, heavy marble wall.

The crisp cracking sound echoed in the empty palace for a long time, and under the flickering candlelight, the broken bones scattered all over the ground shimmered with mournful light.

A bewitching and sexy woman's laughter seemed to float from the dark world, and it sounded a little harsh in the silence of the night.

"I advised you not to use spells to spy on Karetta, it's terrible for the dark god to be jealous!"

Demos stood up with a "huo", and after calming his anger a little, he said to the woman, "I will stay in the human world for a while, and the affairs of the Dark Temple will trouble you for the time being." ”

"I understand. ”

——

Carette was invited by Jose to his friend's house. He only said that the person was a senior from his college days, and he wanted to meet his new girlfriend, and he didn't mention anything else to her.

His mystery piqued Carete's curiosity, and she and he went to Doukissis, far from the center of the city, to find out.

Unlike Jose's rented apartment complexes, the residences here are mostly two-storey duplex detached bungalows.

Familiar with the road, Jose pushed open a metal carved fence gate in front of a courtyard. Holding Carretta's hand, he climbed the steps of the villa with her. He rang the doorbell.

When the door opened, a familiar face met Karet's eyes.

"You're finally here, brother!"

He greeted Jose cordially, then turned his gaze to Carret, who was already stunned.

A hypocritical smile, full of eager excitement, like a hungry beast has finally caught its ideal fat prey!

"How are you? dear cousin. ”

José explained to Carette with a smile:

"I also recently learned about your relationship from Sewell, and I didn't talk too much about you before this meeting, and I also wanted to surprise you. Remember, he was the last person who gave us a ticket to the National Museum of Antiquities and invited us to an art exhibition. ”

Carreta had no choice but to regret it.

From the moment she attends a solo exhibition of José's friend's paintings to the moment she meets the god of darkness, who has been reincarnated as a human and has the identity of "Sevier Black" in the Antiquities Museum, she should have been aware, but she has never been aware of it.

She hated herself for being careless.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Demos serves refreshments to his guests. He began to talk.

"I'll just say, in a small country like Greece, there are still a few girls called 'Karete', who don't want to be cousins. You're such a discerning boy!"

"That's fate. If I hadn't told you about Carette, I wouldn't have learned that my senior, who went to the same university as me in Paris, was my girlfriend's cousin. I never imagined such a coincidence. ”

José sipped his tea, and he was completely immersed in pleasure, not knowing that he had inadvertently done a great disservice, and that Carette and even himself were in extreme danger!

"Carette can't be blamed for that. I haven't had anything to do with the Lachio family for many years because of my cousin, and I believe my cousin has forgotten about me from the bottom of her heart. ”

"Who's to blame! It must be that you don't like serious old people with your casual appearance!"

José teased him, and then said to the silent Carrete:

"You don't know, this guy is a well-known playboy in school, and many girls have cried for him. ”

"Hey-hey——, I should have been careless in making friends right now, right? ”

Demos put on a face full of innocence.

"The French girls are so enthusiastic that I have to make a show of it. ”

He paused, watching Karete smile at her with ulterior motives. "Only the woman I approve of is the most qualified to be my wife!"

Three points of shame and seven points of annoyance, her blushing face became even more speechless for a while.
