Chapter 35 - I Will Shout



"Alright, I got it. I will return back to my room and rest." she replied with a sigh. Though she was a bit disappointed that she would not be able to see a more spectacular place, she knew that Leo was the owner of the estate. If he did not want her to roam, she had to let go of her curiosity.

Leo nodded when she gave up but when his eyes fell on her down casted face and her chin touching her chest, he felt a suffocating feeling in his heart.

"That would not be needed. I have a perfect person in mind to show you the estate." the words flew out of his mouth before he could even realize what he was saying. And when he realized, it was already too late. Her eyes were already sparking and her dark face turned lively again.

"Really, who is that?" She was sure that both Eve and Eli would have been sleeping and even if they were awake, she had doubts that they would be interested in spending their whole night with her to show her the estate and as he stated, he would not let her go with any other men.

He looked at her like she was the most foolish person he had ever seen. Yet he did not feel the frustration, he always felt when Eve continued to behave foolishly.

"There is nothing wrong with using your brain sometimes." then he smirked and added, "oh i forgot! You did not have one to begin with." she glared at the man who only knew how to be sarcastic towards her.

"Now start walking, our estate is larger than you think." Only then did she realize he was talking about himself. It was not like the thought did not pass her mind before but with his ego bigger than his height she let the thought go.

"You are going to show me the whole estate personally?" She could not believe that the man who was threatening her with his sword just a few hours ago was ready to let go of his sleep just for her sake. Her heart felt warm at that thought.

"Could you see anyone else around? Now follow me or else you would be left behind." she nodded but then frowned when he did not walk towards the stair but the side opposite to it.

"Where are you going?" she asked him confused when he entered a wooden cubicle that had strong ropes connected to it. It was her first time seeing something like that which made her curious again.

"I am going down or you want to just stare from here. Now come in." her lips turned into a thin line at his sarcastic reply, yet she entered when she saw him dragging a few sacs filled with stones in the cubicle too. The cubicle was small to begin with, and now that he was adding sacs, they were standing too close for her comfortability. But before she could complain, she felt a strong pull and she felt that same dizzy falling feeling again.

Instead of asking him to stay away, she leaned on him and hugged her tightly to control her fear and anxiety. Leo turned stiff as she suddenly pounced on him. This was the first time that a woman had hugged her except his sisters and that also twice. He could not believe that a woman could be this impulsive. She felt like his skin was burning and the heat was spreading all over his body. Even his ears burnt with her warm holding. If that was not enough, she could inhale her sweet honey smell and her hair were tickling his chest.

There was something strange that he had never felt before but he could not point it out. So, he concluded that it was an embarrassment as the girl did not care at all when it came to touching him.

When the wooden cubicle touched the ground with a thud, its sound brought both of them back to reality only to realize that they were hugging each other all this while. She immediately let him go and took a few steps backwards only to get her back hit by the wooden wall.

"You really did not have any shame." he faked anger to show his embarrassment as his ears were still red.

"In my defense, I was startled by the sudden movement of this cubicle. You should have told me that it would fall before you asked me to enter." she replied in a self righteous tone with a glare on her face. Then she touched and looked at the cubicle in wonder.

He looked at her dumbfounded as she did not know anything so simple. Didn\'t all the manor have lifts to carry luggage and person so that they did not need to climb all those stairs. Come to think of it, if she did not know about its existence then how did she even reach the roof of the clock tower?

"You do not know what life is?" he asked the obvious only for her to shake her head in embarrassment.

"Then how did you even reach up?" he asked as he had already kneeled in front of her, making her jump at her place in surprise.

"By.. climbing of course." she replied with an awkward laugh but jumped up two steps back again when he lifted her gown a bit.

Her head hit the wooden wall making her wince in the process.

"You are too clumsy!" he taunted, only to make her furious.

"I would not have jumped if you would not have touched my dress. I am not that kind of woman. Now let my dress go or I will shout even when you are the owner of this place!"
