132 Far away part one (1/2)

after the dinner, Althea went upstairs to look for the lord he wasn't in his bedroom so she went to the library upon hearing her footsteps he looked up and closed the book that he was reading

” come,” the lord said giving his hand for her to take

walking closer to him she took his hand as he guided her to sit on his lap ” I want to ask a favor from you ” the Lord heard her say

” anything,” the lord said giving her complete attention

taking a deep breath she started to speak ” I want to ask you to not tell anyone one about the engagement at least until I can find a way to tell my mother she is sick and I fear that if she knew about this something might happen to her I know I'm being selfish and I'm very sorry for that ” she nervously was tagging at the end of her blouse almost tearing it

removing her hand the lord spoke ” you tend to speak very fast when you are nervous ” he paused watching her face she looked very troubled ” you don't have to worry about that ” she sighed in relief when she heard his words

” thank you,” Althea said kissing him in his cheek

the lord looked at her smiling devilishly which made her look at him confused

fearing of what might happen if she stayed any longer she excused herself and left quickly
