Chapter 980

Hera walked down the stairs with a hint of blush on her face.

Skadi rolled her eyes at Hera exasperatedly. “Won’t your conscience hurt from lying to me this way? You have no idea how worried I was!”

Hera sat down next to Skadi and grabbed her hand so that she could shake it. “Gosh, I’m sorry. I won’t turn my phone off without warning

in the future!”

Skadi laughed. “I think you should switch it off so I don’t call at the wrong time and ruin your guys’ fun!”

A blush appeared on Hera’s face. “What are you talking about? I don’t

get it!”

Skadi spluttered with laughter. “Go on pretending. The redness hasn’t even vanished from your face yet!”

Nash, who was sitting on the couch opposite theirs, smiled as he interjected, “There’s a kid here. Watch yourselves when you’re talking!”

Skadi glanced at Yoyo before she finally stopped teasing.

The sound of a car horn could be heard coming from the outside.

Finn drove a cool-looking Mercedes G-Class into a parking spot.

The loud sounds of an engine revving rang out.

Then, the sounds of someone slamming on their brakes could be heard.

A Porsche 911 drifted its way into the parking spot Finn had been

eyeing.

Finn hurriedly slammed on his brakes and poked his head out of window to yell, “What the hell are you doing, Melody Stone?”

Melody got out of the Porsche.

She had on a pair of thigh-high boots, jeans, and a long khaki-colored

trench coat.

The features on her lightly powdered face were arranged into a frosty

expression.

She merely glanced at Finn before walking toward the mansion’s

main entrance.

“No wonder you can’t get married. Who would dare marry a woman like you?” Finn muttered to himself as he parked his car in another parking spot.

Sydney and Queenie arrived at about 11:00 am.

Maria had prepared plenty of scrumptious-looking dishes.

At the table, Nash placed a piece of bacon on his plate and removed the fatty bits from it before feeding the lean part to Hera. Hera blushed furiously as she ate the meat. There was a bashful but happy look evident in her eyes.

“Good god, can you two be more mindful of the single people at the table with you? With all this PDA, we don’t even need to eat any food anymore!”

Skadi rolled her eyes at them.

However, if she were being honest, she was extremely happy to see

how Nash spoiled Hera.

Back when she first learned he was the Smiling Grim Reaper, she

been worried he would have an extremely violent temper.

In fact, she had even tried convincing Hera to break up with him.

Now, it seemed that her worries had been for nothing.

Hera blushed even more intensely when she realized everyone at the table was staring at her.

Nash filled a small bowl with cream soup and handed it to Hera before he looked at Skadi. “It shouldn’t be hard for someone like you to replace a boyfriend. Just don’t set your standards too high, alright?”

Other than her fiery temperament, Skadi was actually a wonderful woman in all aspects.

Rich heirs from elite families would get in line to try to woo her.

Skadi wrinkled her nose and said, “How are my standards considered too high? It’s not like I need my man to have a house, a car, and plenty of savings!”

A sad look appeared in her eyes after she finished her sentence. “I just want a man who likes me. Yet, the man I like doesn’t seem to like mel”

It was then that Nash recalled Skadi seemed to be interested in

Cillian.

Cillian had absolutely no material urges, and it would probably be extremely difficult for them to become an item.

Yoyo looked up at Skadi and asked in her cute voice, “What sort of men do you like, Miss Skadi?”

Skadi grinned. “I like men like Master Cillian!”

Yoyo pursed her lips. “Master Cillian is an old man. He’s no match for

you, Miss Skadi!”

Skadi could not hold her laughter upon hearing those words. “Yes, yes, that’s right. He’s no match for me!”

Nash averted his gaze from Skadi’s face, and he did not say anything else.

He had wanted to advise Skadi not to waste her youth on a man like Cillian but decided not to say anything after giving it some thought.

Cillian was also a man, after all. Who knew? Skadi might replace her way into his heart one day.

He was reminded of his cousin, Felicity.
