Chapter 48: Just A Kiss (1)
Making her way to the backyard of the mansion since she hasn’t been there yet, Madeline quietly stepped foot into the backyard and was instantly welcomed by the sight of a fountain that stood at the front left of the nourishing garden.
It offered a calming element to an already calm garden, and Madeline was amazed by the magnificent view in front of her.
The flowers and plants growing on each side are practically the joy of the garden. From how healthy they looked, it was obvious the gardeners and the servants have been carefully tending to every one of them.
The garden in the backyard was incredibly big! And she was curious to know how Adeline and Frederick were capable of supervising all of this.
Dew drops lingered on the fleshy petals of each flower, and the air was a mixture of rain filled with the pleasant scents of different flowers.
Inhaling deeply, the atmosphere felt incredulously peaceful. Flowers are indeed a gift to earth.
Not too far ahead, Madeline could spot a certain figure slouching against the wide swing that lightly swayed back and forth due to the aid of the cool harmless wind.
There was a sudden unexpected thump in her heart when her eyes lingered on the attractively handsome being who hadn’t sensed her presence just yet.
Staring at his immaculate side profile, his clear Amber-brown eyes looked distant, like someone who was lost in his own imagination and was far away from reality.
He held a cigar in one hand, and a puff of smoke escaped his sensual mouth.
Madeline wasn’t hundred percent surprised to see the young lad smoking, neither was she hundred percent happy about it either, but again, she understood not everyone was perfect.
