Chapter 20: Bumpy Ride
The rest of our carriage ride was more of the silence and the sound of the moving carriage and the horses neighing, the curtains covered the window so I couldn’t look out but I was lucky enough to bring a book, I don’t mind pretending to read it until we get there, Who knows how long till we do, I couldn’t just wait to free myself from here.
I partially lifted my gaze to look at Cedric, who had his gaze to the floor, leaning back, his elbow resting on the armchair, his knuckles against the side of his head.
I couldn’t tell what he was thinking, his features remained unreadable as usual, my presence unacknowledged.
I scoffed and then I cleared my throat, which was a mistake on my part, and then his gaze landed on me, those green eyes.
In a slight panic, I raised my book to cover my eyes. Good job Sylvia, now he caught you staring.
"I’m sure you must find whatever you’re reading interesting" his smooth sonorous voice sounds.
I didn’t say anything, I didn’t intend on talking to him at all if I had the chance.
"Most especially when your book is upside down"
I froze, I haven’t even realized it. Great! I shut the book, placing it on my lap.
"Anything to avoid talking to you," I said sassily.
A ghost smile pressed his lips.
