Chapter 195
Lisbeth rose and simply said, “I’ve finished my meal and would like to rest in my room. Please, enjoy your meat. Taylor, please visit me from time to time.
1 thought for sure I must have offended her enough that this would be the last time I’d sit here. But instead, she extended an invitation for the next time!
I was moved. I rose from my seat politely and replied, “It’d be my pleasure, Madame Kenway.
“The pleasure is all mine,” she replied, smiling faintly, before heading toward the stairs.
Soren noticed I continued to stand and called out, “You can sit down now, Taylor.”
I looked at him with downcast eyes. “I’m fine. I need to get back to my office,”
“Hey now. Did what my mom said startle you?” he asked gently. “She didn’t mean any malice. It was her way of expressing sympathy–she seems to think you’ve always been alone in everything, and she hopes you can find a reliable partner to weather the storm with you soort.”
“I know she means well.”
“Phew, that’s a relief to hear!” He chuckled and beckoned me to sit. “Not so soon, okay? It’d be nice to have you keep me company.”
I couldn’t say no to that, huh?
Once he was finished, I decided to leave.
Soren instructed his housekeeper to bring his coat.
“Wait, you don’t have to come with me! It’s cold outside,” I said hastily.
“John’s away for a private matter, so I’ll be the one driving you.”
What?! H–He was going to drive me?!
Before I could recover from this sudden news, he was already walking toward me.
“Hey, what’s with that expression? Worried that I’ll somehow drive the both of us into a valley?” Soren quipped.
I watched him put on his coat–oh my God, why was he so attractive–before replying, “You have work to do, right? I shouldn’t be taking up your time!”
“I don’t have anything urgent right now. Come on,”
I followed him.
The interior of the estate was so warm that I forgot what the outside was like. As soon as I opened the door, a frigid gale swept straight in through the main entrance. Snowflakes danced in the air.
“It’s snowing!” I cried out, looking up.
“The weatherman did say it would snow today,” he stated, smiling.
Then, suddenly, he blocked the snow from my eyes. “Doesn’t the snow feel freezing on your face like that?”
His action once again made my heart skip a beat.
“It’s the first snow,” I replied. “That makes it special.”
“Beaumont is beautiful after a heavy snow if this one ter throught the night, in should come visit tomorrow”
I looked away from him imidly and started ahead have work overtime ramitose spain. I’m very fury.
He didn’t say anything to them and simply followed me they
A shiny black SUV was parked outside the gate. It cost my fer time seeing this car I couldn’t tell what brand or
series it was
Soren noticed my questioning look and explained, “The rod might be a little dangerous new that it’s snowing This car will be a better ride.
1 got inside. It was a luxury six–seater SUV brimming with subtle aura of wealth and privilege
Soren climbed into the driver’s seat. “Do you want to go home or to your office?”
“My office.”
The journey was quiet.
I looked out of the window. Snow had blanketed the forest like a white shroud. After a night, the mow would have turned into dazzling silver.
Neither of us spoke. The air was growing awkward.
The road was a little hazardous due to the weather, so Soren drove slowly. It was very smooth and steady, so…
“Are you sleepy?” he suddenly asked. “You can move your seat backward a little and take a nap
