Chapter 49

• Kàthleen sulked on the way home, Derek glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, he knew she was angry but he was just too happy that she was going home with him to care about that, they arrived at Deloux castle and she got off and walked into the house. Derek quickly ran after her, leaving his car for the driver to park well, he caught up with her just as she entered the house, he grabbed her arm and turned her to face him, "just why are you so angry?" He demanded, two angry spots showed on her cheeks as she glared at him, "you were flirting with those ladies, right in front of me"
• Wow, so that was where her anger was coming from, his gaze held amusement at her obvious jealousy, "I'm sorry, they just look so beautiful" she slapped his arms, "you're such a flirt" she gritted and he shrugged offhandedly, "I'm a sucker for beautiful ladies, you can't blame me, perhaps in future, I'll flirt with them at your back and never in front of you" Derek's tone was light as he said it but she got more agitated and he couldn't help but laugh at her countenance.
• "Oh, you oof, you're just so irredeemable" she started moving from him but he grabbed her and held her from behind, "someone is already occupying my heart, how can I look at any other lady, none of them is as beautiful as the one I love, and the one I love is you" he whispered softly into her ears and she stilled, was he actually confessing his love to her? She tilted her head backward and met his gaze, his blue eyes were like the turbulent sea, it enchanted her and called out to her, "do you mean what you just said?" She asked, afraid to believe what she has just heard, afraid that she would wake up to see it was all a dream, as if reading her mind, he whispered, "it's not a dream Kath, I mean every bit of words that I just said".
