Chapter 78 - Taking The Genuine Initiative For The First Time. (1/2)

Ch-77

After dinner, Cedric and Eleanor took a stroll on the side of the road. There was a silence between them.

”mhmm…hmmm…hmm” Cedric cleared his throat.

”My dad and sister got to know about the fact that I met your father. They were asking if we had decided on the marriage or not. If yes, they want to talk to your father in person to discuss the marriage date,” Cedric said in a single breath.

Eleanor was starstruck at his words. She had a very brief discussion about this with Myna. She decided to think over it after some time. But right now, she didn't expect him to bring the topic over.

”I will think it over,” Eleanor said, bringing back the awkward silence between them.

”What are your plans tomorrow?” he asked suddenly.

”I plan to go to the office and check things again. I want dad to take a break for a few days and work in his place,” Eleanor said.

Cedric nodded at her words.

”Lunch with me tomorrow?” Cedric proposed.

Eleanor gave him a side look from the corner of her eye looking at him suspiciously.

”Hey, We can meet in your office itself if you are that wary. I will be obedient! I swear!” Cedric swore immediately when he saw her look.

Eleanor wants to chuckle at his actions but holds it back. ”and?” she asked.

”I will be obedient. And the whole time I am with you I will treat you like the empress and I am the mere servant!” Cedric made a series of promises.

”I thought you wanted to have lunch with me. Looks like you don't want that? Sigh…. I will eat by myself,” Eleanor said with a fake sad sigh.

”Hey! I said I wanted lunch!” he said hastily.

”Aww… but you said you would be obedient and act like my servant but you never said that you will get food and eat food with me, hmm?” she said as she raised her brows.

Suddenly Cedric had a feeling of getting played by her. Realizing the fact, he looked at her with narrowed eyes. ”You are playing me!” he exclaimed. Sticking her tongue out at him, she ran away in an attempt to run away from his.

Laughing he started running after her. But this little rabbit thought she could outrun the big bad wolf that was running behind her. She was so wrong. Cedric almost caught her but that didn't stop her from running away. She slipped right under his nose. ”Hey! Stop! I will catch you right away!” Cedric yelled as they ran.

The night breeze hit their bodies making their hair stand to it. But that didn't stop her from running away from him. They ran for tens of minutes finally catching up with each other. They both stopped at the side of the road catching their breath.

Looking at each other they both burst out into laughter. ”Will you tease me?” he asked after calming himself.

Eleanor raised her brows and nodded at him. ”I will tease you whenever I get the chance!” Eleanor said, sticking her tongue at him.

Cedric narrowed his eyes to her and caught her by her waist and started tickling her. Eleanor started to laugh at his tickling. ”Will you tease me? Hmm?” he asked, continuing to tickle her.

”I will,” she said laughing.

”Really? Look what I will do to you,” he said and started tickling her rigorously. They both were unaware of the eyes that were secretly capturing their laughs and actions.

Eleanor couldn't cope anymore and started asking him to stop tickling her. ”Stop! I won't do it anymore! Please! Cedric!” she yelled, but to no avail.

She was afraid her heart would stop laughing too much. ”I LOVE YOU!!!” she yelled, making him freeze in his spot.
