Chapter 489 A womanizer?
Can Seraphina cook?
William could guess the answer even with his toes.
Moreover, just by looking at the noodles in the bowl, one can tell that they are not cooked well. The color definitely suggests too much salt and tomato sauce.
Only a na?ve child like Amy would shove them into her mouth without even looking.
Realizing something was amiss after tasting them, she still had the audacity to swallow them.
Indeed, she's an interesting child.
Seeing this situation, Seraphina's expression also stiffened.
Having been embarrassed by William just yesterday, and now feeling insulted again today, must be quite distressing for her.
She had seen William cooking spaghetti before.
It looked so simple when he did it, so why was it so difficult for her?
"I'm sorry! It's my first time cooking noodles... I didn't know they would taste so bad," Seraphina said, caught between laughter and tears. She had been with William for some time and had seen him cooking, which always seemed so easy.
Back in the Divine Realm, as a lord of a territory, did she ever need to cook her own food?
Is cooking really that hard?
Amy then realized that the fairy sister hadn't actually intended to poison her, and she put down her fork, continuing to stare at Seraphina.
"Fairy sister, your clothes... I've seen them before," Amy pondered for a while and finally remembered, "Why are you wearing Alice's clothes?"
Suddenly, William thought about what would happen if Amy told Alice about someone else wearing her dress.
That would be terrible!
He had been careless!
William felt that if Alice knew Seraphina was wearing her clothes, he couldn't imagine what she would think.
He knew very well how easily the flames of jealousy could be kindled.
William frowned and said to Amy, "Amy, you go back and eat, I'll take this fairy to buy some clothes."
Sometimes, an unintentional remark can provoke deep reflection in another person.
Seraphina also realized this and a smile unconsciously formed on her lips. She had long realized that Alice liked William, but she didn't know that William and Alice had already engaged in an actual romantic relationship.
Although William had not accepted her yet, didn't that make it more challenging?
Even if Alice is already married to William, in Seraphina's view, it seems not a big deal for a powerful man to have two or three women.
Not just two or three, even thirty or three hundred women didn't seem like a big deal to Seraphina.
"I think this dress is quite nice, there's no need to buy another," Seraphina said with a smile, turning to Amy, "Amy, how about fairy sister takes you out to play today?"
William glanced at Seraphina and said, "You might like it, but it's not yours! Go buy your own!"
He hadn't thought about this issue last night, and there were no other clothes available at the time. Now that he thought about it, how could William possibly let Seraphina continue wearing Alice's clothes?
"Oh!" Seraphina didn't dare to show any petulance or stubbornness to William.
Clearly, William wouldn't fall for that.
Although Amy was usually mischievous, hearing William's words, she said to Seraphina, "Fairy sister, I have to go to school today, so I can't play with you. Let Mr. Johnson accompany you to buy clothes."
As the kindergarten was still holding regular classes and today was Monday, Amy naturally had to go.
"Fairy sister, Mr. Johnson, I have to go back now, or Mom will get mad," Amy said. She then pulled out a carrot from her pocket, crouched beside a rabbit under the plane tree, and placed the carrot in front of it.
"Little bunny, make sure you eat well."
After watching the rabbit start nibbling on the carrot, Amy waved goodbye to William and Seraphina.
"Fairy sister, I'll play with you after school," she said and then scampered off.
Watching Amy's retreating figure, William looked at Seraphina and asked, "You're not planning to take care of her forever, are you?"
He didn't use mind-reading, but he could discern something from Seraphina's eyes.
A smile unlike any before appeared on Seraphina's face as she said, "Back in the Divine Realm, it was all about fighting and killing every day. I've never encountered such an innocent child. If Mr. Johnson doesn't mind, I indeed would like to take care of her always."
William narrowed his eyes and said, "You don't think she's my child, do you?"
If Seraphina thought Amy was William's child and was taking care of her to please William or to get closer to him, then her actions were full of ulterior motives.
Seraphina responded, "I did think that initially, but now, I don't believe she is your child." She paused, then added, "Mr. Johnson, you must really want a child of your own."
For someone with William's long life yet without any offspring, a less tolerant being might have taken her comment as an offense worth dying a thousand times over.
"All children are more or less the same, why does it have to be my own?" William replied, not angrily but with a laugh, "If you want to take care of Amy, that's your business. You don't need to report to me."
William wasn't like the chief gods like Thor, who might easily feel offended.
Over the years, he had almost accepted the reality of not having children.
Even if he wanted his own child, it wouldn't be for the sake of passing on his lineage, but rather striving towards something he currently considered impossible.
Clearly, now Alice had given him some hope. Just the thought of having a child seemed like a nice prospect.
Thinking this, the corners of William's mouth twitched involuntarily.
Regarding offspring, William had analyzed it too. If the woman was much weaker than him, she simply couldn't withstand the immense force he brought into bed, nor could she conceive new life.
Even someone as powerful as Artemis, on the verge of stepping into the Absolute Deity level, couldn't manage it.
Unless the strength was almost on par with William's, it would still be difficult to have offspring.
To put it bluntly, William's genes were too strong,even the strongest known goddesses might not be able to help him reproduce.
Unfortunately, Seraphina was completely unaware of the gap between her and William.
Seraphina certainly noticed the subtle movement of William's lips, which seemed to indicate he was thinking of something, but also a hint of resignation.
"Are you thinking of Alice?" Seraphina took a deep breath and asked, "You haven't fallen in love with her, have you?"
William raised an eyebrow and replied, "Can't I?"
Seraphina was taken aback,she hadn't expected William to be so direct.
"Mr. Johnson, I always thought that a true powerhouse would not fall in love with an ordinary person," Seraphina pondered and said. "Falling in love with someone, having concerns, would make you hesitate when throwing a punch, and slow down your speed."
William's smile remained, "Even if my punching speed slows down, what does it matter, who can defeat me?"
"Have you ever loved any other women? Or over these years, have you only loved Alice?" Seraphina knew she couldn't compete with Alice, but in her view, gods don't need love, and the strong don't need the bonds of love.
Someone like William, even in a relationship, probably only sought to alleviate boredom or fulfill desires.
William said candidly, "I have truly loved other women before, but that doesn't stop me from loving Alice."
Seraphina hesitated, then said, "Mr. Johnson, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should."
"Then don't say it! Go buy a set of clothes and return the ones you're wearing to me." William was just casually chatting with Seraphina.
He could even guess what Seraphina wanted to say.
She probably wanted to point out his numerous past relationships, accusing him of being unfaithful in love, or suggesting his feelings for Alice weren't genuine.
True love should be unique, one person for a lifetime.
But William, having lived so long, understood how to control his emotions better than others.
Those he had loved and lost were often in his thoughts, but now, Alice indeed stirred something special in him.
Living a long life doesn't mean his heart had turned to stone.
That's why he chose to sleep for periods, then restart everything all over again.
A womanizer?
Then so be it!
