"How can this be a small matter?" Raina North was very serious: "This is a big matter, a very big matter."
Corvus Hades laughed, but his tone turned cold: "So, you’re still insisting on leaving?"
Raina North felt a tension inside, but she tried to act as if she didn’t notice Corvus Hades’s change and said, "So, I’m planning to offer flowers, and I’m preparing to pick a bouquet from the garden to give to uncle and aunt as a gesture of goodwill. I didn’t expect to see you right after getting off the car."
"I see." Corvus Hades’s expression softened instantly: "Then let’s go, I’ll take you to the garden."
Raina North really wanted to say that she could do it, she could do it herself.
However, noticing Wraith giving her a knowing look, she wisely swallowed the words that were about to escape her lips and resignedly followed Corvus Hades to the garden.
This was already the old residence of The Hades Clan, and the property was huge, with the garden being quite extensive, not to mention there was more than one.
Plus, the place was meticulously attended by professionals, with flowers blooming beautifully in full variety. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on ⓝovelFire.net
Raina North took the scissors handed over by the servants and walked into the sunflower field.
Corvus Hades was nearby, munching on fruits while watching Raina North carefully select flowers. His eyes were gentle, yet his expression turned distant.
In his mind, the image of that young and beautiful woman standing amidst a vast array of sunflowers and laughing happily flashed.
That smile was even more brilliant than the vibrant sunflowers.
Unfortunately, that smile, that person, can no longer be seen.
Raina North cut a large bouquet of sunflowers, carefully arranged them, placed them in a vase, and carried them to the ancestral hall.
The Hades Family’s ancestral hall was meticulously maintained, the air filled with the unique scent of incense, and due to its secluded location, there was an unshakeable feeling of loneliness.
Raina North walked over and placed the sunflowers down, the brilliant bouquet bringing a sense of liveliness to the otherwise quiet hall.
Corvus Hades strolled over and stood beside Raina North: "Why did you choose sunflowers to give to my mom?"
Raina North blurted out: "Of course, because the seeds are delicious." Realizing she had spoken nonsense without thinking, she almost wished she could slap herself. She quickly tried to salvage: "Well, what I meant is that sunflowers are passionate and beautiful, and I think aunt would like them."
Corvus Hades quietly watched Raina North, until her back started to feel a chill, only then did he look away and focus on his parents’ memorial tablets.
Corvus Hades said indifferently: "My mom indeed liked sunflowers. She said they look beautiful when blooming, and the seeds are tasty when the flowers wilt. It’s a pity she had a short life and couldn’t eat enough before she passed. But I think, if her spirit knows there’s a like-minded future daughter-in-law like you, she’d be very happy."
Raina North was shocked, every hair on her body standing on end: "You!"
"What do you mean I?" Corvus Hades scoffed: "You didn’t really think you could keep fooling me forever, did you?"
Raina North hadn’t really thought about it, but over the years, Corvus Hades was indeed the first to see through her disguise: "You..."
"You’re wondering how I saw through it, aren’t you?" Corvus Hades smirked, lazily saying: "There’s nothing to see, just a sniff is enough. Men don’t go around smelling as fragrant as you."
As he spoke, Corvus Hades took a deep breath, his face displaying a look of intoxication.
Even if her combat power isn’t enough, she really wants to bash this jerk Corvus Hades, he’s just too damn irritating!
As if not noticing Raina North going crazy, Corvus Hades took out three sticks of incense, saying blandly: "Light a stick of incense."
