Outside the ancestral hall.
Quinn Thorne had just quietly sneaked over and heard this conversation.
They’ve already... already bowed to the elders...
At that moment, Quinn Thorne was completely stunned!
It hasn’t been long, how did things suddenly get to this point!
If the boss finds out, he’s likely to go insane.
And as the one who’s always at his side, I’d be the first sacrificial lamb, left without a grave...
Upon hearing this, Raina North couldn’t help but burst out laughing, and was scared into coughing fits.
Corvus Hades walked over, gently patting Raina’s back: "Even if I promised to marry you, there’s no need to be so excited."
Raina couldn’t help but burst out laughing again at his words.
"Look at you, how happy you are! If I had known you were this delighted, I would’ve promised to marry you ages ago, no need for you to wait for so long..."
Raina finally couldn’t bear it and loudly called for a halt, a bit frantically: "Stop spouting nonsense! Or I’ll hit you!"
She waved her fists, looking fierce.
If it were anyone else daring to be so presumptuous in front of him, Corvus Hades wouldn’t mind showing them a lesson.
But this person was Raina.
Especially at this moment, her cheeks were flushed (from coughing), her almond eyes were watery (from the tears caused by coughing), she looked utterly tempting.
Corvus Hades didn’t suppress himself, allowing himself to be lured, his calloused fingers brushed her eye corner, sliding down her nose bridge, her cheek, and finally her rosy lips...
Corvus Hades was captivated.
Uncontrollably approaching Raina...
Outside the window, Quinn Thorne: "!!!!"
The Emperor Hades sure knows how to charm, if he were a girl, even he might have trouble resisting...
Raina belongs to the boss, if she gets stolen away by Corvus Hades just like that, what’s the boss going to do! What am I going to do? What about the tens of thousands of brothers in The Dark Tower! ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel⸺fire.net
Just as Quinn Thorne couldn’t stand it anymore and was about to burst in, Raina pushed his hand away fiercely, looking at him as he tried to get closer, she warned: "Stop messing around."
"I’m not messing around." Corvus Hades glanced at his empty hand, his expression changed slightly but quickly smiled again: "You should know, I want you, I’ve always wanted you, Leo, stop fooling around, let’s be together properly, alright?"
A low, magnetic voice, a gracefully handsome face, eyes filled with deep affection, even the most hard-hearted would melt.
It’s just a pity Raina wasn’t moved.
Without hesitation, ruthlessly, she said: "No."
"Leo, are you this heartless?"
Raina chuckled: "Please, you should know this isn’t heartlessness, but being responsible for the feelings between us, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten, being together with you is a disaster. For both our sakes, let’s just remain friends."
"Excuses." Corvus Hades’s voice turned chilly: "I see you’re doing all this for another man, let me guess, it’s the Lord of the Dark Tower, isn’t it?"
Raina frowned: "Rejecting you was a decision I made three years ago, I didn’t want to be with you then, and now I still don’t want to be with you, don’t involve others."
"Ha!" Corvus Hades sneered: "You talk a good game, but in reality, isn’t it all for that wild man outside! Leo, would it be better if I simply killed him, then once he’s dead, you’d be willing to return to my side."
Raina also felt some anger rising: "Corvus Hades, can you stop being unreasonable!"
