Chapter 194: Passing the Blame
"This butterfly wants the flower for himself?" she softly pushed him back. " How greedy and entitled of this butterfly!" she smirked. "Let the butterfly put a fence around the flower if he wants to claim the flower..." she made a circular motion around her left ring finger. "Then the butterfly can freely enjoy the nectar of the flower, for the rest of his life," she bit her lower lip and winked.
"You little..." Arthur wasn’t pleased with her answer and tried to get her.
Is she saying she won’t commit to me without a ring? Can’t she just say ’yes’ and get on with it?
Talia ran towards the bathroom with a giggle. Realising she angered Arthur, she wanted to shut herself in. She wanted to take a shower too.
Arthur ran behind her to catch her, but the door knock was heard and so he slowed. He made a lunging motion seeing her peeking her head out from the bathroom door and mocking him by sticking out her tongue.
*Bang*
The bathroom door closed and he smiled pausing his actions.
What a woman!
He walked to the door and it was Sir Robert and Arthur invited him in. He had a bunch of things for Talia and he got everything from him and placed it in the bedroom.
Arthur saw Mr. Ed sitting on the couch with his fingers tapping on his knees and realised he needed to say something and sat opposite him, crossing his legs.
"When are you going to announce the breaking of your engagement?" Mr. Ed asked. His voice seemed calm and his eyes held an intrusive stare. He was trying hard to hide his real emotions and appeared to be neutral.
