Chapter 37: The Truth of Tribulation

β€œ......”

When Carmod had finished speaking, Carette was silent for a few more moments before moving the two suspicious and hateful glances on his face.

His demeanor didn't look like he was lying, no matter how you looked at it.

This can only mean two things: either he is too good at pretending, or he is telling the truth, and the real culprit who pushed him into the sea is someone else, and has nothing to do with Zeus's men.

Kareta wasn't going to speculate any further, there was no point in getting into the horns of the bull like that.

It's been a long time since the incident, and it was she who decided to hide the truth about falling into the sea at the beginning, so why bother and waste time to overturn the case now?

The most important issue in front of him is the future of himself and Demos.

"Thank you for coming to see me and telling me this. It's not too early, it's really time for me to go back. ”

Carette said this to Carmod again and stood up.

For her indifference, Kamod finally seemed a little dispossessed.

He also got up, took a meteor lunge to stand in front of Karete, and quickly reached out a hand to grab her wrist.

"Are you still so obsessed with love, Karetta? At the beginning, you were obsessed with that Chinese man, and now you are obsessed with the god of darkness, but what about me? Have you ever given me the slightest obsession?"

Kamod lowered his eyes in the distance, concentrating on the outstanding face in front of him, which he could not reach, and poured out his heartfelt sentimentality.

"Don't ...... that"

Carette no longer shy away from his strange and complicated gaze, she raised her head to meet him boldly, her clear blue eyes shining with unwavering brilliance, forcefully retorting from his wishful thinking.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, she turned her head to look left and right, then motioned to him in silence.

Realizing that he was in a public place at this time, Karmad hurriedly withdrew his hand, still with an unwilling expression on his face.

"If you want to be able to call you 'brother' when we have the chance to meet again, don't be a lobbyist for Olympus!"

After saying her last words to Karmad, Carete stooped down and picked up the two bags of things on the ground, and left without hesitation.

Carmod had nothing to say at this point, and could only stare at her resolute turn with a look of resentment.

Under the bright sun, her slender back looked unusually strong, full of hopeful energy.

Southern District Villas –

After taking care of the business at hand, Demos turned off his laptop and raised his arms to stretch his sedentary waist.

Yesterday, he was still a shrunken and decadent body.

At that time, when Carette went to the bedroom to look for him after dinner, he was in a dazed state.

"Demos ......"

Carreta turned on the lamp at the head of the bed and went to bed, and saw him lying on his back, his eyes open staring at the ceiling, his gaze stiff, like a lifeless corpse, and dead without looking at him.

She called out to him shallowly, her face leaning towards him.

"Carret...... I've lost the Athena Gem, you...... Do you want to stay with me?"

Demos's gaze at smallpox did not move, and his tone was heavy and slow.

β€œοΌβ€

Kareta was terrified.

Could it be that Zeus had just communicated with himself with a thought wave was still noticed by Demos? However, the idea wave communication between the gods would not be detected by a third party at all, and he asked what he meant by thatβ€”

"What are you talking about?"

Kareta replied in a reproachful tone, both in surprise and bewilderment.

"You confessed that you kept it for the gem, but now that I have lost that gem and lost my divine power, I can't give you anything more, do you want to keep it?"

Demosion looked at the ceiling, ignoring the rapidly changing expression on Karete's face, and the tone of the question was calm, and he couldn't hear any big ups and downs.

Carreta could confirm that Demos's current state was a sign of inferiority.

Strong people stand on a high place, and once they fall down, they will fall harder than ordinary people, and the fall will become more and more sluggish.

Now, this man in the dark clan who is accustomed to turning over clouds and rain, and has always been domineering and arrogant, has lost all the majesty and glory of the Protoss in an instant, as if he has been forcibly pulled into hell from heaven.

Kareta felt the humiliation and helplessness he had endured, both physically and mentally.

Kareta moved closer to him again.

"Hey, listen, you have nothing to lose. You still have me, and Noah, and even have a successful career in the human world. Demos, there are a lot of things that belong to you by your side. All you've lost is something insignificant!"

As soon as the words of encouragement fell silent, Demos turned his paralyzed head towards Carret, his misty dark eyes no longer in a trance the moment they met her bright face.

For a long time, he recognized her unique voice, and that soft timbre always reflected her character, so determined, so tenacious.

With a sweep of his right arm, Demos embraced Kareta into his arms and silently responded to her encouragement.

Carette looked up for a moment in front of his chest, which had no warmth, and looked at his handsome features, gradually lowering her head towards him.

The tip of her nose touched and she shuddered with the unusual coldness, and after only half a second of hesitation, she continued to move.

Their lips were folded together, and Carette kissed them with great tenderness.

Her greatest desire at the moment is to restore Demos to his former vitality and charm, so she hopes to use her own initiative to restore his former self-confidence.

Demos wrapped his arms around her during Carret's long kiss, his hands moving from her back. Suddenly, he came out with brute force and rolled over and crushed Kareta under him......

In the bedroom, the dim light is full of enchanting temptation, and there is no sound in the silence except for rhythmic breathing.

Kareta closed her eyes lightly, and the sleeping nerves in her body gradually woke up as she took it, and became more and more excited......

At this moment, she finally accepted the view of Alice, the goddess of disputes, that in the most desperate moment of a man, a woman's body is the best medicine to soothe his body and mind.

Violently weakened.

Once again, Demos's brain was plagued by nightmares, blood and dead faces preventing him from concentrating.

"I'm sorry...... Karete, I'm sorry......"

He was covered in sweat and his expression was painful, and he left her body weakly apologizing and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Kareta got up as well, straightened her shirt slightly, crawled behind him and hugged him with her arms outstretched.

"As soon as the European Festival is over, let's have a wedding. Don't drive me away! I'm going to marry you, I'm not going to leave you!"

Leaning against his sturdy back, she said softly.

"What?"

"After the festival, we went to church for the wedding. ”

Their original wedding plan was for Christmas at the end of the year, and there are still nearly three months to go.

Demos turned in surprise and faced Carette face to face.

"Really that impatient?"

"Yes, can't wait!"

Carette stared intently at Demos's handsome face full of unconfidence, and her attitude was determined.

With an appreciative smile, Demos reached over lovingly and gently twisted her little face, then put his arms around her again.

......

Remembering the events of last night, Demos began to miss Carette again. Without her encouragement, he would never have regained his fighting spirit and become so vigorous today.

Demos looked at the standing clock on his desk, he had been working for almost four hours. He decided to rest immediately, not wanting to snub his wife because of business.

Demos got up from the high-end leather boss's swivel chair and walked out of the study.

There was only Noah in the living room, and as soon as he saw Demos, he immediately came over politely.

"What do you need me to do, king?"

"Where's Karete?"

While Demos asked, his eyes were also looking in the vast space.

"The princess went out, saying that she was going to buy something at the general supermarket. ”

"What?"

Demos's expression twitched, and he withdrew his searching gaze and stared at Noah tightly. He rarely gets angry with this child, but once it does, it is enough for Noah to be terrified.

"Princess...... She said let me stay and help you...... So ......"

Noah bowed his head in fright, his tongue stumbling in his mouth.

"Don't you know that Cali is in a hurry to find her, and you let her leave the villa aloneβ€”"

Noah was scolded aggrieved, flattened his lips and kept his breath, so sad that he was about to cry.

Demos strode out of the villa, and Noah hurried after him.

The continuous turmoil made Demos like a frightened bird, and the slightest mistake would lead to the worst-case scenario.

As soon as he went out, he saw Carreta walking into the courtyard with two pockets.

Noah had a good eye and ran to snatch something from Karete's hand.

"Princess, I'm coming!"

Taking the bag, Noah didn't dare to delay and hid in the villa.

After a false alarm, Demos came to her with anger, opened his mouth and asked loudly:

"Who let you run out alone?"

"What are you doing......

Kareta looked at his nervous face, wondering what had just happened. In Demos's eyes, her stunned demeanor was so cute.

The hard expression softened instantly, looking excited and cherished. He swung his arms around her body, so hard that she almost suffocated.

"Demos, tap, I'm out of breath......"

"Don't leave me! Don't disappear from my sight! Don't go out alone!"

"What! so demanding, so demanding, so demanding......"

She felt much more comfortable in his arms, and whispered a word of protest.

"I'm afraid to lose your ......"

"I hate it, what are you talking about!"

She was moved by his emotional expression, so she punched him coquettishly, pouted in dissatisfaction, but he lowered his head and kissed him......
