Chapter 1018 - Roses Favorite Place In The World (1/2)
”Let's park here,” Rose gave a sign to Rune to drive the car to an open field and park there. Rune followed her instruction and soon, the Bentley was parked nicely under a shady tree, overlooking the vast green valley.
Rune almost couldn't believe his vision. Just outside the capital, there was this vast and lush green space? Medion was truly a unique country, he thought.
He loved Bacilia with its historical charm and now this green hill, which Rose said was owned by her family, made him feel at home quickly.
It was 2 pm in the afternoon and there was nobody around them. The wind blew lightly and everything felt so peaceful
Rune could clearly see why Rose said this place was her favorite place in the world. He could imagine her spending so much time here when she was younger.
”Let's walk that way,” Rose held Rune's hand and took the man for a short walk across the green field at the foot of the hill.
Rune was impressed to see that most of the field was still covered in green grass.
In many other places, the leaves and grass were already yellowish and wither, to prepare for winter, but here, everything still looked like it was the end of summer. He stopped his steps for a while and admire the spread of lavenders on the field to their left.
”They still have lavenders at this time of the year?” He asked in admiration. ”My sister loves this.”
”Yeah.. we do. We have great weather here. Usually autumn feels like an extended summer. Only lately we are having a colder temperature,” Rose explained.
”That is amazing,” Rune replied. He pointed at the lavenders on the ground. ”I want to take some pictures for my sister. Have you seen the lavender field in Provence, France? This place reminds me of that one.”
”Yes, I've been there. It's lovely,” Rose shrugged.
”I want to tell my sister that Medion has a similar place like that one in Provence. Maybe she would be interested to visit,” Rune said with a grin.
Somehow, Rune managed to distract her from feeling upset by talking about lavenders and Provence and his sisters' love for lavender.
”My nephew, the other one that you haven't met, is a synesthete. He said his father's voice looks like lavender. That's when everyone knew that my sister and her husband were a match made in heaven... hahaha...” Rune said while taking out his phone and snapped some pictures for Aleksis.
”Synesthete? What is that?” Rose furrowed her brows. She had never heard of that word before.
Rune had to explain that a synesthete was a person with synesthesia — they may see sounds, taste words, or feel a sensation on their skin when they smell certain scents.
”Oh.. how interesting!” Rose exclaimed. ”So, what about you? What does your voice look like?”
”Uhm.. my voice is quite boring,” Rune said. ”My nephew said it looked like gr.a.p.es.”
”Oh.. now I'm curious to know how he sees my voice,” Rose chuckled. ”He is the one that JM is dating, right?”
”Yes, that's right.”
”This way,” Rose pointed to a lone oak tree not far from them. ”That's my favorite place to sit and do nothing.”
”My grandfather made this for me twenty years ago. This is my favorite place in the whole world,” she gushed.
Rune smiled faintly. He couldn't help imagine how many days were spent on this swing while Rose was dating Leon in the past.
Rune knew Rose and Leon grew up together. So, her best days, in her favorite place in the whole world, must have been spent with the man.
He had to press down his jealousy and focus on Rose. At the moment, his feelings were not important. He only wanted to make Rose feel better.
