Chapter Twenty-Four

When he returned to his room and closed the door heavily, Bai Xiu leaned his back against the wall, looking very depressed.

You're right, Kareta, that no secret can be hidden in front of these eyes of mine. However, both gods and humans like to keep a little privacy, a secret, deep down in their hearts. And with such eyes, I can only keep my distance from you. I care about you, so I don't want these eyes to inadvertently peek into the secrets of your hearts, and I don't want you to be upset by my eyes, and I don't want you to be hurt in any way because of my eyes—

Karette, you are indeed a very good Titan, and too many men are by your side because they love you. I am like them, but I will turn away from you because of these eyes, and love you—

The aura of the gods that permeated the room dragged Bai Xiu's attention back from complicated matters to reality.

Hate, here it is again-

Nervously opened the door, it was empty and there was nothing. Bai Xiu carefully swept the corridor with his gaze again, but there was still nothing abnormal. He closed the door again.

Between frowning, the expression on his face became more and more solemn.

If my judgment is correct, this breath is hers!Sure enough, the battle between the Dark God and Aquaman still alarmed Olympus!Karetta, you have to move quickly, there is no time left-

On Saturday morning, after breakfast, Carette began tossing her clothes and researching what to wear to Jose's mentor's house in the evening.

In the past two days, when Jose came to deliver the soup, he found that his girlfriend's mental state was very bad, as if she was listless, and sometimes she would wander for no reason. The considerate Jose made the soup recipe for Friday night into a sleep conditioner, and deliberately changed the original plan, so that she did not come to disturb Carreta on Saturday morning.

In fact, Carette's insomnia began after the conversation with Bai Xiu that day.

She had been thinking about the escape, and when she decided to meet Jose again, she would tell him the truth about her, the Titans, and the Athena Jewel, all of which had happened recently, because they were all related to their escape plans, and he had to be prepared for this.

But when confronted with Jose, and confronted with him talking to her about the future of the two of them, and his life, and his ambitions, she finally swallowed back what she wanted to pluck up the courage to say to him.

Jose is a very ordinary human being, and everything he has belongs to the human world. Family, school, social relationships, etc., all determined that he could not easily break away from here, and Kareta hoped that he would be an ordinary human in this life, and that there was no need for her to live in the shadows of running and hiding for the rest of her life.

Moreover, where to flee and where is the safest place is where the gods of Olympus cannot find it.

Trying to change into a suit of clothes and turning around a few times in front of the dressing mirror, taking a photo from the left to the right, Carette felt pretty good and decided to wear it for the afternoon party. At this time, she is no longer distracted and thinking about unhappy things, so it is better to adjust her mood and go to the appointment in the best state.

The phone rang, and it was Demos who called!

"How are you doing these days?"

The sound coming from the microphone was still magnetic.

"Oh...... It's good, it's good......"

Before she knew it, her heart was pounding, and her tongue betrayed her, causing her to stutter when she spoke.

"I miss you! I want to see you, really!"

In the second sentence, Demos no longer conceals all his emotions, and seems to take Carette completely as his own woman, and all confessions are taken for granted.

"Don't do that, Demos...... I still have something to do today, so ......"

Hearing that something was wrong, Carette wanted to find fault and hang up the phone again.

"I'm going to tell you everything that comes to the Athena gem, so now come to my villa, and the gem is here. I'll send someone to pick you up at your hotel, is that okay?"

As long as Demos wants to do something, he will achieve the goal through various means. Just like now, he knew that it would take him less than three words to fulfill his wish to meet Karet.

Sure enough, as soon as she heard the Athena Jewel, an impulse instantly rose in Karete's heart, as if the sense of responsibility and mission of the Titans hidden in her body had been awakened again. Therefore, for the time being, other things than this gem have become less important and no longer a priority, and this "other thing" of course includes the afternoon party with Jose.

"Okay, you wait for me. But...... Can I not go to your villa? somewhere else, I mean a public place with fewer people......"

Still wary, Kareta tentatively asked for advice. Although it is only a blue day, the behavior of a single girl being taken by a single man to a private villa outside the city is still not good.

Demos was silent for a few seconds, and finally made an affirmation.

"Then, I'll see you in an hour at the Terra Maris Hotel Style Café, and I'll be waiting for you. ”

"Understood. ”

Hanging up the phone, Kareta looked at the clock on the table.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, he would appear in the lobby of the hotel, and the two of them would go to the flower shop in the front block to pick a bouquet of flowers and then go to his mentor's house together. It was just after nine o'clock in the morning, and there was plenty of time.

Carette was fully confident that she could finish her meeting with Demos before noon, so she simply packed up, picked up her handbag and went out.

Terra Maris is located not far from the Grand Bretagne, a block within an 800-metre walk. Another point is that the café's Mediterranean retro décor and homemade desserts have always been the most popular among female customers. Changing the meeting place there shows that Demos is really thinking about Karete.

When Carreta arrived, Demos had arrived before her, and sat firmly at a square table, on which to his right hand was a closed crimson velvet square box, three meters wide. Caret wondered if it was the Athena Jewel placed in it?

After greeting each other and taking their seats, the waiters served a plate of exquisite Black Forest cake, a plate of cheese cheese, two different flavors of ice cream cake and fruit sundae, and a pot of black tea and poured them two glasses before they all left.

By this time, Carette looked around, and the whole vision had become empty, and even the words were echoed, and now the whole café was full of customers only him and her.

"Don't worry, I've had this shop for the whole day. Gems are at stake, and I can't let anyone bother you or me, so it's safe here. ”

Smiling as he explained, Demos looked directly at Carret.

Today, she was dressed in a space silver A-line skirt and white cropped pants, a pair of peach-colored printed fish-cuffed shoes, and her shiny hair was neatly tied up and draped naturally over her shoulders and back.

Her sitting posture is dignified and graceful, like a beautiful landscape, or rather a pleasing picture, so that she can always easily hold his gaze.

Her complexion was much better than when she had just returned from the ends of the earth, and her face was visibly flushed. Is this what human beings often say, nourished by love?

Yes, Carret's love, her and that Chinese man...

Demos watched and thought about it, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Ahem......"

Looked at by Demos awkwardly, Carreta cleared her throat crampedly, took a sip of her teacup, and said:

"We ...... Let's get down to business. ”

"You've been with him all these days, haven't you?"

Demos nodded slightly, unexpectedly asking such a question in the first sentence of his mouth.

"Demos—"

Karet's face turned red and she snorted slightly.

"It's really serious, serious things that I care about. ”

Demos spoke clearly in the eye with Carret, reluctant to take his eyes off her face.

Once, his gaze was always proud, always sharp like electricity, like ice, that kind of madness and coldness seemed to be able to penetrate the other person's body and go straight to the heart at the first glance of looking at someone, and stop its beating in an instant. But now, with the same eyes of his, Kareta saw a faint sorrow in them.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say. Perhaps, I shouldn't have blamed him.

"Okay, let's answer one more question before we talk about it, okay?

In silence, Demos decided to make concessions, and the extent of the concessions was limited to asking her for advice beforehand.

"Okay, you ask, I'll tell you the truth. ”

Kareta readily agreed, because she wanted to make up for how easily she had been angry with him. At the same time, her heart was still a little nervous, for fear that he would ask embarrassing questions again.

"When you were at the end of the earth, you said that you have me in your heart, are you sincere?"

At the same time as the question was spoken, Demos had already grabbed Karet's hands from the table.

"Demos ...... You ......"

Karette tried to withdraw, but her strength was not as strong as his, and she struggled a few times without success.

"Answer me! were you just talking, or were you serious?"

Demos took Carette's hands tightly and stared intently at her face, repeating it again with a grim expression.

"What if I answer or not!"

After some unsuccessful attempts, Carette simply gave up struggling. Facing Demos, who looked obsessive, she also became colorful.

"That's just a sentence, true or not, it's over, like a page of a book you've read, why do you bother to turn it over and think about it again? I came to the human world for Hector, for his oath, and I will still be with his reincarnated Jose in the future, and what will change if I have you or without you in my heart?"

"Of course it can be changed! If you are serious, I will grab these hands of yours, and I will not let go of ...... in this life."

Within a few meters of looking at each other, Demos's stubbornness was even heavier, and the strength of his hands did not decrease at all. However, at this moment, Kareta could not get angry no matter what. On the contrary, Demos's desperate thirst for answers, the truth, caused her heartache.
