Chapter 73: An Invite To The Palace
"I’m sorry for making you cry, it won’t happen again," he said gently as his hand cupped my cheek, his thumb rubbing against it.
Did Cedric Logan Hartford just apologize to ?
"What?" he asked in my extended silence.
"N-Nothing just..." I didn’t know what to say.
"We have both apologized so now we’re even," He said in amusent, I blushed and nodded, he always had a way of making
such a shy person.
"Thank you for saving Mi-"
He placed a finger on my lips. "You say his na, he will appear"
I froze, he took his hand away. "I thought he explained that to you"
"H-He did but I didn’t know it was every ti I said his na,"
"That’s how it works, wife"
"Thank you for not killing him"
"Oh I had it in mind"
"Cedric!"
He chuckled, his chest vibrating from the sound, I would never get used to hearing him make sounds like that or smile, it was strange for soone like him but it also made my heart flutter that he was giving in to emotions bit by bit, he still had that quiet nature with him, but whenever he was with
he had that outspoken nature and his emotion becos more prominent.
"I’m glad you smile more these days, it’s almost too good to be true," I said honestly, he took my hand giving it a kiss, his eyes still remained on .
"Because of you Sylvia".
I felt warmth around my chest when he said those words. "Do you hate , Sylvia?" he began, I blinked, puzzled by his words.
"W-Why would I hate you?"
"The other day you seed like you did"
"I was angry but it wasn’t because I hate you... I...

My eyes trembled, could this be what love feels like, was I... I gulped, was I falling for this man? Despite everything I have experienced him? Was I?
He tilts his head to the side, his lips in amusent.
"Is that so?" he said in amusent, my heart began slamming in a fast rhythm, my grip tightened on his jacket. Does he... my eyes searched his, does Cedric...
His hand moved to my waist holding onto it tightly, the other against my back. My heartbeat quickened, we just had our eyes on each other, none of us saying a word, The silence wasn’t awkward but it was like it was registered on both sides, like in that silence our feelings were coming to play, my heart oh my heart it felt light and warm, looking at him right now, I knew it, all these feelings I felt towards him, this unusual pull, unexplained chemistry between us, this profound passionate affection towards him, is this-
The loud knock on the door broke
out of my thought, after the knock ca in the door budged but it didn’t open, I don’t rember locking it.
"What is it?" Cedric retorted.
"Forgive
my lord for interrupting your al but there’s an invite from the palace, a letter"
I turned to Cedric, his eyes remained on the door. "Maybe I should si-"
I gasped because when I tried to move, his hand was firm on my waist keeping
from moving.
"C-Cedric"
