Chapter 24 - Goddess of love (1/2)
It was 5pm when Alexandre picked her and Adrien up from home. She wore a simple forest green swing dress with long puffy sleeves, and she wore a pair of nude Mary Janes with a 5 cm heel, on which she felt comfortable. Subtle makeup and a casual updo. Like her grandmother, she likes to forego jewelry, but today she decided on a pair of pearl earrings and a matching bracelet.
Adrien, however, looked limitless cute in his outfit. He wore black shorts, a classic checkered shirt and a light blue sweater. He wore a pair of navy knee socks and a black pair of leather oxfords. His dark hair was slightly combed back, so he looked like a little gentleman. He was so adorable! Quickly she put on her little darling a comforting coat and wrapped a dark red scarf around his neck. It was getting colder in the evening at this time of the year.
”Where are we going?” Asked Adrien Lily curiously as Lily picked him up and put. Alexandre stood outside the door, holding the car door open for her and Adrien. Lily nudged the toddler lovingly with her finger on his little snub nose and replied. ”We visit Alec's sister and his friend.” Then she took her coat from the maid and threw it over her arm before going out.
Arriving at the Bentley, Alexandre picked Adrien up so Lily could get into the car more easily, before she took the toddler again and put in his child seat. Then she pulled out the black seat belt and buckle Adrien up. After they all sat in the car, they did not drive more than 5 minutes to stop in front of a mansion.
They lived in a special villa area of Dijon, where most of the well-heeled citizens of the city lived. The price of the land was very high. Only the top one percent of the rich citizens of the Archduchy of Bourgogne could afford a property in this area. This part of the city was famous for its old mansions that had been the property of noble families for generations. Most of the properties had a very ancient history dating back to the 18th century.
Of course, Alexandre's friend came from the same circles as Alexandre, so his estate was near Alexandre's villa.
The driver opened the door for them and helped Lily to get out. Alexandre handed Adrien over to Lily before he got out of the car himself. An elderly man in a butler uniform received the young family at the entrance and escorted them to the old mansion. In the large entrance area, a young lady received the newly arrived guests. Her black hair flowed down her shoulders like dark silk. She had the same silver eyes as Alexandre. But there was a sparkle in it that made her features softer and friendlier. Yet she surrounded this noble air of a true aristocrat of Bourgogne. As she stood there in her old pink sheath dress that was tight fitting and emphasizing her slender waist and her voluptuous curves. She looked like a cool goddess of love in her dress. The dress seductively presented her milky shoulders, framing her dainty shoulders with cascading ruffles.
”Welcome.” She greeted her guests with open arms. A sunny smile played on her red lips. ”As always you are too late.”
”That's probably in our blood, sister. After all, I can't remember that you were ever on time.”
”You're getting old and forgetful.” She grinned challenging. She reminded Lily all the more of Alexandre. Louise had the same mischievous smile as her older brother. Lily tilted her head slightly to one side. His sister was the more charming version of Alexandre. Not only was she beautiful, she also radiated that lightheartedness. Laxity mixed with joy. And Lily liked that and added another 10 points to her favorite human scale, which is why Louise quickly overtook her brother. But that she would keep to herself. Lily did not want to think about what Alexandre would do to her if he could read her mind.
Suddenly her attention fell on Lily. Her eyes pierced Lily. Curiosity passed through her friendly features. Suddenly Alexandre wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her and Adrien closer. ”May I introduce my wife and son.”
