Chapter 125 - Answer (1/2)

The two kids were enjoying their little bubble. Henry never knew that Beth could be that dangerously cute, and he was worried about her.

It would be a disaster if she knows how much power she has in those cute eyes. The world would make her their Queen without hesitation. He somehow had the feeling to protect the innocent from being lured into the madness of idolatry for the redhead before him.​​

”Henry,” the voice of a cute blonde shattered his bubble. She was Reina and behind her were already ten girls in white dresses. ”We were going to see the show, do you want to come with us? Beth, do you want to come too?”

Beth was still in awe and immersed in the soft and delicious taste of the fruit tart. How can something like that exist in the world, and she didn't know about it?

She shook her head. Right now, she was so comfortable going to a show she didn't want to see.

Her hand was already holding another plate with another small fruit tart on it. However, the fork was in Henry's hand, and she couldn't use her other hand because it was held hostage. She frowned.

”Should I eat it like this?” she moved her mouth to the tart, but she was suddenly stopped.

”We will go later,” Henry said and smiled at Beth that was pouting from the denial of her treasure. ”After we finish eating.”

”Oh… the food here is delicious, Beth, I guess it is the first time you had eaten this?”

Beth didn't deny it. That was the first time she tasted that succulent fruit tart. ”It is delicious.”

Her eyes suddenly blinked and smiled. Reina was again stunned. 'This is dangerous… my heart is… beating so fast…'

The other girls were the same, it was as if someone had put a doll in front of them, the most precious doll. Some of them smiled and surrounded Beth, the slower ones had to wait their chance in the back to talk to her.

”Stop it!”

Henry's angry voice startled the little girls. He couldn't believe it, just a smile, and they were all hypnotized by Beth.

”Let's go,” he pulled Beth with him. However, her eyes were screaming grievance from denying her delicacy. ”I will give you more later.”

”There you are, my boy,” Grandpa Mills appeared on the other side to take his seat. ”Oh my! Beth, you look so beautiful in that gown.”

He smiled and laughed, seeing her blush and lower her head. That cute shyness made him think that she was perfect for Henry. He couldn't wait for the two of them to grow up and marry each other.

She was an outstanding lady, a genius. Even if her background was a mystery, she was more a part of the Mills family than any other.

The show started with dance and music entertainment. Then some magic and comedy, and finally with a tear-jerking speech from Grandpa Mills.

However, Henry had not paid attention to any of that. The beautiful girl by his side was more entertaining. Her laugh and enthusiasm were more impressive than any show.

”Henry,” Beth passed her hand in front of his eyes. ”Are you okay?”

The little fantasy of her smiling at him suddenly pop out. Though, just then… a strange image came to his memory. It was a little girl in a pink fluffy dress passing her hand, the same as Beth. Who was that? He couldn't see well her face.

”Let's go,” he stood up and moved to the dining hall.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't let go of Beth's hand. Only when they were eating, she was released for a while, but she had to seat beside him.

”Henry, I should go now,” Beth blushed when the young boy with emerald eyes was still walking with her in the garden on the road to her house. It was not that far from the main mansion, but he insisted. ”Can you let go now?”

”Beth,” Henry said, watching her eyes. ”I…” he didn't know how to start the conversation.

He had rehearsed in his mind many times.

'I am sorry, it wasn't my intention to make you feel bad, can you forgive me?'

'Please, come back to me like that time, I didn't mean to hurt you, can you smile at me like before?'

Those were the words he wanted to convey to her, but he couldn't. He will feel a strange anxiousness every time he saw her.

”Young Master, I should go,” she leaned her head to one side as he didn't finish his words. ”Can you let go?”
