Chapter 415 - A Wish



Both Theodore and his father were surprised when Adeline defensively stepped in front of Theodore like that.

Theodore\'s father glanced at his daughter-in-law and asked a question to gauge her heart, "Are you willing to fight me for Theodore\'s sake?"

Adeline didn\'t stop maintaining her eye contact with the almighty when she answered fearlessly, "Please forgive my impoliteness, but if Lord Immortal is here to fight his son then I am more than willing to put my life in the line for my husband\'s sake."

"Adeline! Don\'t say such things!" Theodore tried to pull her aside and away from his father\'s direct line of sight but Adeline insisted on standing in front of him like a shield.

The God was lost for words for a while. But after a few seconds, he merrily laughed at that reaction from the newlyweds, especially Adeline. And he said to Adeline, "Ease up, child. I am not here to snatch away your husband or give punishments to anyone else."

Both Adeline and Theodore were relieved to hear that the God was not there to punish anyone, unlike the last time he was here.

The God took a glance at Theodore, he looked like he was not ready to have any conversation just yet.

The almighty had obviously heard everything that Theodore had said to him when Theodore had lashed out in Hell. But he was not angry, rather he was sad thinking that he might have pushed away his son a little too hard.

He then looked back at Adeline. Then he said in a soft voice, "I am here to witness the wedding of my son and give my blessing to the newest member of our family. I came uninvited but I bear no ill will."

Adeline\'s look also softened a little after hearing the God talking calmly. She tried to smile at him, but she could not quite bring herself to do it. So she bowed instead and thanked him, "I am deeply honored by Lord Immortal\'s warm gesture."

The almighty gently touched Adeline\'s head with his palm and accepted her greeting. When Adeline raised her head to look back at him, he immediately asked her, "Child, I know I have been a little harsh to you. But I would like to make up for it by offering you a wish as your wedding present. Is there anything that you wish for?"

Adeline\'s eyes instantly twinkled and they involuntarily trailed towards her father.

And God was quick enough to add a restriction to the wish, "You can of course ask for anything, except your parent\'s lives."

The spark of hope that had appeared in Adeline\'s eyes was gone in a flash. No matter how hard she tried, she could not hide the displeasure from her face.

She was even thinking of running away from the almighty\'s sight, and as though Theodore predicted what she was going to do, he gently held her by her shoulders.

Adeline took in a deep breath and then gave a wistful smile to the God. And she dismissed him as politely as she could, "I am unable to think of anything at the moment. But I greatly appreciate the gesture. Thank you for your blessing."

The almighty gave an understanding nod. He lightly caressed his daughter-in-law\'s hair and said, "If you don\'t have any wish right now then you can use it in the future. Make your wish when you can think of something that you truly desire."

"I will make sure to do as you say," Adeline bowed her head again to the God.

He then shifted his attention towards Theodore. He had thought of a lot of things to say to his son. But when the time came for the real interaction, all that he could say was, "Congratulations on your wedding, Theodore. I hope you are happy with your decision."

For Theodore, even that little phrases from his father meant a lot. Adeline finally stepped aside and Theodore took a step towards his father. He gazed at his father and even though the almighty didn\'t say it, he knew that his father was sorry.

Theodore took one more step towards his father and hugged him to everyone\'s surprise. The almighty was stunned and kept on standing like a statue. Theodore then said in a soft voice, "I am so happy that you came here today, father. My wife and I got the blessing from both you and mother. We are really grateful."

The invisible barrier that the God had created between him and his children melted away like a mere candle from the warmth that he got from Theodore. A genuine smile appeared on his face and he even hugged back his son.

And then he said to Theodore, "I know you will want to do anything and everything to protect your wife. But always remember not to go too overboard when doing so. Think before acting impulsively. Or you can always ask me for advice if time gets difficult."

Theodore\'s heart warmed from those supportive words of his father. He parted from the hug and smiled. "I will remember you if I ever get stuck. I hope you will answer my prayers."

The almighty caressed Theodore\'s black hair and nodded, "I will answer them. I\'m sorry that I ignore them until now."

He patted Theodore on the shoulders and walked back towards his wife. Azriel was standing beside King Dragomir. And all this while, he was also pretending to be a statue fearing that their father would punish him for the things that he did to Adeline.

And when God passed by Azriel, he heard his father saying, "I can see you move, Azriel. I don\'t know why you are pretending to be frozen."

Azriel widened his eyes a little but he still kept on standing still. He was in no mood to indulge in some conversation with his father and end up getting that punishment.

The almighty stood in front of his wife and asked in his softest voice, "Will you return back to Heaven now? I hope you will."

The Goddess gave a reassuring smile and agreed. "I will come back after spending a little more time with my sons and my new daughter-in-law."

"Sure. Take your time but do return back." He gave a peck on the Goddess\' forehead before vanishing from Earth.

And the moment he vanished, the time began flowing normally as though it had never stopped.

Azriel finally let out the breath that he was holding in until now and fanned himself with his palm. And he thought to himself, "That was very clever of me to have pretended not to see or hear him. I bet he bought that.. Now I can go around playing the Deity peacefully."
