Chapter 50: Did You Miss Me?

"Tell me, Sylvia, did you miss me?"

At his words a deep shiver ran down my spine, miss him? Of course, I did... I have been plagued with crazy dreams about you, I felt like I was losing my mind no matter how I tried to hide it or tell myself that I wasn't, our kiss playing in my head over and over again, I couldn't get it off my mind.

And of course, all that in my head, and yet I haven't even said a word since he asked me that question.

I just kept gawking at him and he didn't seem bothered by it as he patiently awaited my answer.

I was about to form the right words.

"Atlas there they are I was beginning to worry"

At the sound of Mother's voice, I turned towards the direction of mother, in front waited the rest of the party.

House of Albert and House of Heathcliff, and was that Lawrence? Funny I thought this riding event was just between the couples, I guess it wasn't, it was nice to see him here.

He smiled when he saw me, I did too probably a first for a long time. I felt Cedric's hand leave my waist, I turned to him at the action, and his gaze wasn't on me anymore, I wasn't the focus, I pondered where the mood swing came from, not that I could even read his mood to begin it.

But it was almost as if he was unhappy about something.

I turned back to the party.

"Lord Cedric," James said, the fat ball, forgive me for calling him that because I had no other way to describe... because it is his nature and he left him no choice, I pitied the horse he straddled.

He was dressed in the same attire as Cedric but a completely different color and design from his.

His wife, the ever so elegant Camille looked rather dashing in her riding habit, consisting of a dark blue tailored jacket with a long skirt, along with a necktie, white.

A hat also, a small portable one, the same color as her dress, her silver hair let down in curls, I was beginning to think she loved letting her head down. Low-heeled boots, black, and gloves.

"Mrs. Hartford" she greeted mother with a bow which she returned with a nod.

"Lord Cedric," she said with a sly smile as she bowed her head.

I just rolled my eyes unnoticed by her action, does she always have to act so seductive when it came to my husband, others may not notice but I do, and it pissed me off.

Well as usual Cedric didn't seem to glance her way but yet she kept that seductive smile on, what was she hoping for?

"Lord James," I said with a bow.

"Ha, the lovely Lady Sylvia," he said amused.

I just forced a smile as I looked towards Dalton's way, he had an unpleasant look, I would expect no less after what happened at the Eternal Garden.

"Lord Dalton," I said with a bow.

But he didn't even recognize me, thought as much.

I turned to Danette who smiled, I smiled back, her riding habit looked beautiful on her.

"Lord Cedric, Mrs. Hartford" She greeted.

"Lord Lawrence," I said with a bow.

He grinned.

"Hmm and here I thought it would be just the wives of the houses that would be engaging in this event, when I saw Cedric I thought otherwise," Mother said.

"Well, Mrs. Hartford from meetings to meetings we need a break, nothing than riding under this fine weather as we make our way to the tent... let us enjoy this day," James said as his horse neighed.

I watch as the guards of all respective houses got in a position as if they rehearsed it, back and front as they got ready to escort us.

"Shall we?" Dalton said as we continued our riding to a certain routine, I guess there lead to our tents as James said.

I wanted so badly to ride to Danette, but the rest were all riding with their partners so I figured it wasn't a good idea.

As for Lawrence, he engages in small talk with Dalton, while Danette just rides beside them in silence.

"You can go to her if you want," Cedric said not sparing me a glance.

I turned to him with a frown.

"A few minutes I thought we were engaging in some sort of talk but now you want me to ride ahead?" I asked puzzled.

"The question does not matter anymore"

I scoffed, was he angry or something? I couldn't tell.

"If you say so, Lord Cedric"

"Do not call me that", his voice was calm but yet sounded annoyed.

Hmm seems like I pushed a button, I wanted to do more.

"Hmm I wonder why the question does not matter anymore, don't you want to know if I missed you, LORD Cedric,"

His gaze fell on me pinning me down, I knew he didn't like the Lord I add so I did it again, to strike his nerve, it was only when I do that he seemed to let his guard down, and I wanted him to so that I can understand him better.

"Do you want to know if I have missed you, Lord Cedric?" I said smirking.

"You're stubborn," he said, it wasn't scolding, it was like a fact but it sounded like it intrigued him, it got me curious.

"I'm as my papa always said... I cannot be tamed" I mouthed. That was the truth even if I was always pushed to the edge, I always found myself pushing forward than backward.

Just like Cora's words of warning, I was stubborn enough not to heed them, not knowing what would become of me.

His eyes darken and it was exactly as that day when he kissed me, completely black but this time I saw hunger within them, I shivered.

"I will tame you"
