Chapter 79: Concerned Father
Ch-78
"We need to leave," Eleanor stuttered.
"What?" Cedric asked in surprise.
"We are going back," she turned around and ran away to where the car was parked. The car was parked at some distance. Going there would take a few tens of minutes. Cedric ran to her and caught up with her. He noticed that her face was red and she lowered her eyes and only looked at the ground. He even doubted what was so interesting about the ground. He tried to see what’s so interesting but he lost interest in a second.
"Wifey, Look at me. The ground is boring," Cedric opened his mouth and said.
"I- I -..." she tried to say something but she stuttered badly. Before she could think of anything, she slipped her leg and was about to fall. She closed her eyes as she welcomed herself to kiss the ground. But before she could kiss the ground a pair of strong hands held her tight. Her heart thudded inside her heart when she felt his hands around her.
"Careful," his husky yet melodic voice sounded in her ears. Feeling safe she opened her eyes only to meet his chocolaty brown eyes.
"Thanks," she whispered. She meant to say it aloud but somehow... they barely came out like a whisper.
A nest of butterflies fluttered in the pit of her stomach making her feel wonders. She didn’t notice that she was still holding him even though he didn’t hold her anymore.
"Are you okay?" he asked her, catching her emerald green eyes under a spell of his gaze.
"I am fine, but a bit shocked," she said softly, making him chuckle.
"Okay, how about we walk to the car?" he asked.
