Chapter 50: Did You Miss ?
"Tell , Sylvia, did you miss ?"
At his words a deep shiver ran down my spine, miss him? Of course, I did... I have been plagued with crazy dreams about you, I felt like I was losing my mind no matter how I tried to hide it or tell myself that I wasn’t, our kiss playing in my head over and over again, I couldn’t get it off my mind.
And of course, all that in my head, and yet I haven’t even said a word since he asked
that question.
I just kept gawking at him and he didn’t seem bothered by it as he patiently awaited my answer.
I was about to form the right words.
"Atlas there they are I was beginning to worry"
At the sound of Mother’s voice, I turned towards the direction of mother, before us was the rest of the party.
House of Albert and House of Heathcliff, and was that Lawrence? Funny I thought this riding event was just between the couples, I guess it wasn’t, it was nice to see him here.
He smiled when he saw , I did too probably for the first for a long ti. I felt Cedric’s hand leave my waist, I turned to him at the action, and his gaze wasn’t on
anymore, I wasn’t the focus, I pondered where the mood swing ca from, not that I could even read his mood to begin it.
But it was almost as if he was unhappy about sothing.
I turned back to the party.
"Lord Cedric," Jas said, the fat ball, forgive
for calling him that because I had no other way to describe... because it is his nature and he left him no choice, I pitied the horse he straddled.
He was dressed in the sa attire as Cedric but a completely different color and design from his.
His wife, the ever so elegant Camille looked rather dashing in her riding habit, consisting of a dark blue tailored jacket with a long skirt, along with a necktie, white.
A hat also, a small portable one, the sa color as her dress, her silver hair let down in curls, I was beginning to think she loved letting her head down. Low-heeled boots, black, and gloves.
"Mrs. Hartford" she greeted mother with a bow which she returned with a nod.
"Lord Cedric," she said with a sly smile as she bowed her head.
I just rolled my eyes unnoticed by her actions. Does she always have to act so seductive when it cos to my husband, others may not notice but I do, and it pissed
off.
Well as usual Cedric didn’t seem to glance her way but yet she kept that seductive smile on, what was she hoping for?
"Lord Jas," I said with a bow.
"Ha, the lovely Lady Sylvia," he said amused.
I just forced a smile as I looked towards Dalton’s way, he had an unpleasant look, I would expect no less after what happened at the Eternal Garden.
"Lord Dalton," I said with a bow.
But he didn’t even recognize , thought as much.
I turned to Danette who smiled, I smiled back, her riding habit looked beautiful on her.
"Lord Cedric, Mrs. Hartford" She greeted.
"Lord Lawrence," I said with a bow.
He grinned.
"Hmm and here I thought it would be just the wives of the houses that would be engaging in this event, when I saw Cedric I thought otherwise," Mother said.
"Well, Mrs. Hartford from etings to etings we need a break, nothing but riding under this fine weather as we make our way to the tent... let us enjoy this day," Jas said as his horse neighed.
I watched as the guards of all respective houses got in a position as if they rehearsed it, back and front as they got ready to escort us.
"Shall we?" Dalton said as we continued our riding to a certain routine, I guess they led to our tents as Jas said.
I wanted so badly to ride to Danette, but the rest were all riding with their partners so I figured it wasn’t a good idea.
As for Lawrence, he engages in small talk with Dalton, while Danette just rides beside them in silence.
"You can go to her if you want," Cedric said, not sparing
a glance.
I turned to him with a frown.
"A few minutes I thought we were engaging in so sort of talk but now you want
to ride ahead?" I was puzzled.
"The question does not matter anymore"
I scoffed, was he angry or sothing? I couldn’t tell.
"If you say so, Lord Cedric"
"Do not call
that
