Chapter 70 - Shorty (1/2)

Ch-69

”You are so tall!” Eleanor complained, with a pout.

”I am born like this,” Cedric boasted to himself.

”And it's a fact that you are a shorty!” He taunted, her forgetting the fact that he was inviting trouble.

”What? What did you?” She asked with a darkened expression.

”You are short, shorty!” He said with a mischievous smile.

”Really!?” She asked raising her voice a little. But still, the poor Cedric didn't detect the trouble.

”Yes!” He said to her.

”Then kiss someone else! If you ever come to me, to ask kisses! You will face the worst of me!” She yelled and picked her bag as she made her way down.

”Stupid idiot! How dare he call me shorty!? Didn't he fall for this shorty? Huh? Now he is taunting me calling that I am short! What can I do with my height? I am born like this!? If only my brother was alive, I would have made him smash his head for good!? That stupid useless thug! If he comes to me and asks for a kiss, I swear I will make him lick the ground! Stupid idiot!” Eleanor came down yelling at him not noticing the people in the dining hall.

”How dare he call me Shorty!? He is shorty! His dad is shorty!? His mom is shorty!? His sister is shorty!? His whole family is shorty!?” She mumbled loudly.

”I will eat the whole breakfast without leaving anything! Let that stupid man starve till death! How dare he laps his tongue uselessly in front of me!” Eleanor mumbled again. Her voice was loud enough to be heard by the people in the dining hall.

Meanwhile…

”Dad, how about we hide again? It's gonna be fun,” Katherine suggested.

They finished their food long ago but they were wondering how this couple was doing. When they saw the earlier tension, they were sure that Eleanor would dump him. And they thought they would see frustrated and broken Cedric. They prepared themselves for the consoling party of Cedric. But here it's unexpected. They can deduce that they patched up again but Cedric annoyed her again. They sighed again. Hearing Katherine's words Regan agreed to her. They again went back to their previous eavesdropping place, to see what they were going to do.

”Butler Stephen!” She yelled like a roaring lioness.

”Yes, Young Mistress,” he responded.

”Who the hell is the young mistress? That stupid young master of yours called me shorty!? He will find a tall young mistress for you! Save it for her! From now on I will come here and eat all his portions and let him starve till his death! Now… tell me the menu!” She asked.

Stephen: ”…”

Wiping the non-existent sweat on his forehead, he thought [This is going to be tough]

[But young Mistress, you are the right person to tame our Young Master. I will support you.] He thought again.

It had already turned 11 A.M. So the breakfast they had made, had cooled down. ”Pancakes, muffins, half-boiled egg, and milk,” he said.

”Apart from milk serve me everything,” she said to him. Stephen meekly nodded his head at her and went to the kitchen to serve food to her.

He brought the food along with another servant and served it to her. ”I want that stupid man's portion too!” Eleanor said to them. Immediately they served that too.
