The Unbreakable Thread

Chapter 20: Conversation with the God of war

-Hades-

"What are you two doing in here?" I coldly said as soon as I entered my office.

"Same reason why my wife and Hermes came." The man wearing a jeans with black shirt said while grinning as he leans back to the chair with hands on his head.

'Ares...'

"Didn't you just broke up with your wife? Or whatever that thing is called?"

"Tsh. That's why I'm trying to woo her again for the second time."

"You mean for the hundredth time." Athena intervenes rolling her eyes at him.

"She's buying it." Ares shrugged.

I sighed loudly before answering. "Then just like what happened to your wife and that stubborn kid, you'll get the same answer as I gave them. I'm not giving in. So get out." I emphasize each and every word as I took a sit to my swivel chair.

"Whatever. I'm different from them. I won't leave without different answers than what you said just now." The grin on his face never left which made me more irritated. I glared at him but he just gave me a smirk.

"Uncle Hades. This is a serious matter. Father kept bragging his anger on every workers at Olympus because of you rejecting his offer." The girl at the right said.

"Not my problem Athena." I snap back. The goddess sigh before looking back at the pile of documents.

"I do not see what's the problem. These women are like a wife material. Exactly like Persephone. They have a perfect body shape, good occupation, good manners, and beautiful hair." She described as her eyes keeps scanning the paper.

Ares on the other hand bit his lip turning his attention away while trying to suppressing his laughter. Athena quickly notice it and gave him a death stare.

"What?" She asked with severe tone with her eyebrows furrowed. She put the folder down while never breaking her gaze at the God of war.

"Y-you said b-beautiful hair..." Ares couldn't contain his laughter anymore, he puts a hand on his chest laughing loudly.

I'm not surprised but I admit, it's irritating. Ares always has a loud laugh, but only next to Hermes of course.

"Yeah so?"

"HAHAHAHAHA... I-i HAHAHA. I hope you don't curse them like what you did before! HAHA"

"Insane!" Athena shouted but Ares just continue his laugh.

I rolled my eyes then groaned to myself. He's such a child. Too childish.

"Well then. Uncle can we continue what we came here for so I could get away from this idiot?" Athena pointed at Ares.

"Idiot?"

"Enough." I said in a severe tone that made them to look at me.

"As I've said. I'm not going to choose any woman that you suggest to me. I don't want any of them. They're too Innocent mortals to know about the existence of the Gods." I specify. I leaned back to my chair resting my back to it's backrest with both my arms rest on it's arm rest.

"Oh really?" Ares asked with eyebrows furrowed.

A smirk planted at my face. "Yes. Are you somehow thinking that I'm like your father?"

With my answer, Ares quickly shifted his gaze away from me leaving himself completely speechless.

"You're really not going to choose, Uncle?" It was Athena.
