Chapter 21: The Eternal Garden {1}
"Tell
Sylvia..." he began, his fingers still beneath my chin.
I shiver, my na rolling off his tongue always does that to .
"What were you thinking?" he asked huskily, drawing close to , so close that there wasn’t any space between us.
I couldn’t take my eyes off him, it was just glued to his perfectly handso face that could get any girl tripping and I was... really bad.
He tilts his head to the side at my silence, a wicked smirk curled at the end of his lip just one side of it, like he knew what he was doing to .
Dear Lord! The feeling to my core was becoming unbearable? Why?
"I believe I asked a question Sylvia"
"Nothing," I drawled.
He made a hmm sound. Suddenly the carriage budge again, I gasped when he held my waist tightly and firm so that I wouldn’t fall.
A deep shiver struck my body, his hands were so cold, why was it always so cold?
I was still trapped in this position, our faces also touching, no space between us at all, my heart slamming in loud thuds, despite his cold body, I was feeling so hot right now, I could only hope we get there on ti, the sooner I get off this position no matter how tempting it was.
I should rember who I was dealing with... a Husband who tried to get rid of his wife, I shouldn’t forget that.
"Don’t you think this position is getting uncomfortable?" I intoned in a serious tone.
"A simple budge and then you’re on the floor," he said.
I huffed, what was he trying to say? That I have no stamina?
"Your make-up could get ruined"

Ugh!!! This man was absolutely annoying.
Suddenly the carriage ca to an abrupt stop, the horses neighing.
Before I could blink Cedric was off , I just rolled my eyes, feeling my cheeks, they were so hot, I wouldn’t need a mirror to tell
how flushed I was right now... so air would do.
"My Lord we have arrived," The Chauffeur said at the door, opening it.
Cedric got down first, before turning to , stretching his hand for , I gulped before taking his black-gloved hand, leather of course.
He helped
down the carriage and then I ca into view that got
awestruck.
My lips went apart as I gasped, staring at the beauty before
I never thought existed.
The entrance was coated with flowers, embodied on the iron gates spread out, the glasses so green that they didn’t look normal, colorful shades of flower I never thought I would see.
Even as we walked to the entrance, there were butterflies everywhere, my favorite and more they were different colors, I never knew there were so many. They moved around in wonder as well as sprinkling shiny dust from their bottom.
"Is this real?" I said in amazent.
I quickly rushed when I saw one of the butterflies descend on white roses, it was red, an odd color but yet I stared at it in wonder.
I tried poking it, but I think I scared it away or so I thought. It ca back to , I giggled as it played with my nose, more ca around , of different colors.
I giggled more as they circled
while sprinkling their shiny dust, my hands moved as they did around, I loved the feeling like I was being guided by them.
One stationed on my index finger, green in color, I raised it to my face to get a better look at it as I smiled, the wings flapping gently as more sparky dust ca off, I grinned.
My gaze then fell on Cedric who had his eyes on , one hand in his pocket, his puzzled gaze on , he had a confused look, I wondered why.
My smile slowly faded a bit, his look got
curious.
"W-What?" I cursed myself for stamring.
He took swift steps towards , and then my heart slamd with each beat in accordance with his steps, he then stood right in front of , his height towering over , I gulped, tilting my head backward to et his gaze.
His gaze drifts to the butterfly still clinging to my finger, He tilts his head to the side.
"The enchanted butterflies are known to be isolated in the presence of anyone, they do not show themselves when people are around".
"Oh" I made a sound.
"I didn’t know Silver-haired have a tendency of calling butterflies," I said with a scoff.
"No, they don’t".
I frowned at his words, that was strange, I was under the impression that Silver-Haired were fond of butterflies because I always find them wanting to play around .
"Enchanted butterflies, co only close to those familiar with magic"
"That’s so...
