Chapter 221 Building The Store
A few days later, I headed out of the manor late in the morning.
I had woken up late because…I had spent all of last night in bed with Rose.
Since we had decided to have a child, I had been performing my duties every night with her.
Other than spending one night with both Cecilia and Haley, I had spent all my nights with Rose.
Haley was fine since she was focused on building her store, but it was harder for Cecilia.
Still, she understood since she was childhood friends with Rose and she loved her, so she gave us the space that we needed. Though she did glare at me from time to time when we met during the day.
I just looked at her with bitter smiles when I saw her looking at me like this since there wasn’t anything that I said.
I was grateful to her that she did all of this for us.
Haley on the other hand…there was nothing to worry about with her.
She had become so busy with the store that she had even forgotten about eating sometimes.
Instead of having to keep her away, it was more like I had to tear her away from the store or she wouldn’t rest at all. It had gotten to the point where the builders were complaining to me about her since all she did was watch over their shoulders, making sure that there wasn’t a single mistake.
It was a kind of pressure that they really couldn’t take, so they asked me for help.
So there were many times where I had to pull her away just so that they could get their work done.
But there was no doubt that Haley was happy since this was her dream shop that was being built.
At the same time, since we had made a deal with the elves, the materials being used to build her shop were the best of the best. There wasn’t any wood that we could have gotten that would have been better since we weren’t able to find this kind of wood on our own.
That just made Haley even more excited about her shop.
As for where I was heading today, it was Haley’s shop that was being built.
The workers had been working on this shop for several days now and it had started taking form.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm The basic frame of the shop had already been built and they were planning on raising the first wall today.
For this kind of event, Haley decided to hold a big ceremony for it.
Luckily for me, this ceremony was being held at noon, so I still had time. Otherwise, with how late I had woken up, there was no doubt that I would have been late to the ceremony.
When I arrived, I found that there were a lot of people that were already here.
This world followed the same calendar as Earth, so today was a Saturday, which was why there were plenty of people that were here. The other reason was that…Haley had decided to serve alcohol at this event.
So in part, this was a way for her to celebrate her new store, but at the same time, it was a way to integrate herself into the town.
After all, who didn’t love a free party that had free alcohol for attending?
So it was killing two birds with one stone.
As I walked through the crowd, I found that there were quite a few people that were already drunk.
It seemed that since it was a Saturday and tomorrow would be their one day off, they had decided to get completely hammered today even though it was the middle of the day.
Though when it came to normal Saturdays, most people took the afternoon off, so this was normal.
I didn’t mind since I was happy seeing everyone in the town happy and seeing how happy Haley was about the store.
I was also surprised to see that the elves were among the crowd, drinking with the humans.
Speaking of the elves, it really was amazing how quickly they had adapted to this human town.
They were now talking to humans without any barriers, treating them just like they would elves.
This was in part due to their open nature in the first place, but it was also in part to Moon’s orders.
She had ordered them to talk to the humans normally and the order from the daughter of Aisha was something that was held seriously by the elves.
So it didn’t take long for the elves to blend into the town.
As for Moon, she was on her own.𝒏𝑂𝗏𝑒𝗅𝑛𝔢xt.𝔠𝒪𝓜
It wasn’t that she didn’t blend in with the humans. She was a beautiful elf girl, so it wasn’t hard for her to find humans to become friends with.
But rather, she was staring at me with a strange look right now.
It was just this moment that she had this strange look, she had been giving me this strange look over the past few days. It was clear what she wanted from me, which was why I had been avoiding her over the past few days.
Even now, I avoided her and headed over to the podium where Haley was.
I used her and the other girls as shields against Moon since when she found out that I was engaged to Haley and married to the other two, she looked quite devastated.
From then on, she acted very awkwardly around the three of them.
But that didn’t mean that she gave up.
She tried catching me alone, but I did my best to avoid her.
Even now, I was still avoiding her.
The ceremony was quite short since Haley knew what the people were here for, but she did make a speech that left quite an impression on them.
But I didn’t remain there to hear it because there was someone that called me away.
Shaka had just returned with a letter for me.
