Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 463 [Bonus Chapter] A Love Letter(Chapter Preview)
"My lady, we are here." The carriage soon stopped and the knight escorted her out of the carriage.
He took her to a nearby inn. He went directly to the second floor corner private room instead of the commoner tables.
She found it odd for her father to book a room in an inn instead of meeting her in the office of the dealer or a tea room where they usually meet.
"My lady, I can not go in. I have the duty of guarding the door." Eli nodded as she knew her father did not keep anyone closer except Theo.
In fact, this was the first time she had met this knight. If he had not brazenly come to the garden, she would not have believed that he belonged to their house.
Giving one suspicious glance to him, she walked in when he smiled calmly.
Maybe she was thinking too much because of these bizarre clothes. Knocking the door, she entered and was surprised to see that the room was dark.
It has dim light with fragrant candles as if it was the meeting point of lovers. A frown formed on her lips as she was sure that her father would never call her at a place like this.
She turned back and tried to open the door but her eyes narrowed when she realized that it was locked. No matter how much she try, the door did not open.
"This! This is a trap!" She had that uneasy feeling all the way to here but she thought that it was because she had so many things in her mind these days.
Not even once had she thought that she was going with rivals. Who could it be?
Her eyes searched for a possible weapon when she threw all the flowers and water from the nearby vase and held it tightly in her palm.
She felt her head getting heavier. Was something mixed in the fragrance? Her eyes narrowed as several scenarios of kidnapping and other crimes started to fill her mind.
"Whoever is there? If you tried to harm me, I swear that I would make sure you see hell with your open eyes." her voice was cold and dripping with anger when she heard the footsteps coming towards her.
She could see a figure but was not able to see who it was in the dark until the man came closer.
She glared as held the vase tightly to attack him as soon as he came closer.
"Do not come closer!" she shouted again while preparing herself for the attack.
"Oh my, I never knew that you were so strong." her face filled with shock and she forgot that she had to attack when she noticed that it was Andrew who was in the room.
"Why have you called me here?" 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖
"Why did you bring me here?"
"Huh i did?"
"When did i?"
They both turned silent and stared at each other without saying another word.
"So, you are saying, you have not called me here?" frowned Andrew and took out a letter from his pocket and passed it to her. 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜m
It has her seal and the letter is from her letter pad. She always uses golden paper with the fragrance of jasmine as her paper.
She placed the vase back from where she had picked it up and snatched the letter from his hands.
"Dear Andrew,
I know that I was rude during our last meeting but you must know I am facing a lot of troubles these days and everything is making me crazy.
I know I should not justify my acts and apologize. But I can expect you to understand me since you are the only one I love. I have the right to lash on you when I am distressed. Haven't i? Sob sob
I will wait for you in the laviette inn. If you did not come, I would think you have still not forgiven me.
Yours only
Elizabeth Thawyne." she raised a brow as she crumpled the letter in her hands.
"Do you think I will write such a letter?" did he not know her? In the meantime her mind started to race on thinking who could do it? When I saw his face getting flushed.
But there was no reason for him to be this embarrassed? Wait! Why was her face also heating? She never shows these emotions usually. There was something wrong here!
"I did find the letter a bit odd. But when I read the last line, I didn't want to take the risk.
I did not want to take the chance of hurting you Eli. I have already made a grave mistake once. I will only be a fool if I repeat it." he shook his head and walked closer. For some reason, she felt the simple expression of his so damn seductive.
Her heart palpitated strongly when he professed his love for her indirectly. She gulped when she saw him walking closer and so many scenes started to flash in front of her eyes like they were kissing each other passionately and hugging each other while his hands were on her bare back.
Her throat ran dry only thinking about all this. What was happening to her? It was so not like her.
"Eli, you know that I love you, right?" his raspy voice whispered in her ears while his breath tickled her neck.
She felt a strange sensation taking over her, and before she could understand, she already felt herself nodding.
She felt his lips touching her cheeks. It was a light and tender kiss but it was strong enough to churn her stomach in anticipation. As if she wanted him to come closer.
Heat started to fill her body and his touch started to soothe her. No! There was something wrong. Someone called them here with hidden motives and this smell. What kind of smell is that?
"It is a trap Andrew, I feel there are drugs mixed in the fragrance."
