Chapter 145: Snake and Friends

Nyx tilted her head, the smile on her lips faltered, and she asked, "Don’t say that you are not coming. I would like it if you came to my mother’s birthday party."

The cogs in Inez’s mind turned rapidly. She came up with an excuse within seconds and said to Nyx, "It’s not that I don’t want to come, but I think it will be a bit problematic if I attend the party. Wouldn’t it be better if I stayed at the lodge? And I also have some work to do. I don’t think that I will have the time to come to the party."

She had all the time in the world, but Nyx didn’t need to know that, thought Inez.

"Oh. Did Kill ask you to start working already? Would you like me to ask him to give you a few days off so that you can attend the party? I don’t like the idea of you working hard when everyone is enjoying."

"Thank you, but there is no need," Inez refused. She had already had enough with Morrineth glaring at her at every turn. Just this morning, she was staring at Inez as if she wished to take a bite of her neck. She wondered how that woman would react if Inez were to turn up at her party. "I just think that we should avoid trouble when we can."

Nyx gave her a sympathetic look. She then said, "I understand. I am really sorry about my mom, though—she might be a bit rude at times, but she is only grieving the death of her daughter and my sister. Lyra died all of a sudden; because of this, my mother was never able to get the closure that she wanted."
