36 Tea time- Part 4 (2/2)

”You do?”

”Yes, but that doesn't mean I am happy with you letting my hard work go into waste,” he stated walking forward as she stood still.

”You have really bad taste in women,” she blurted and he stopped walking before he turned around, cocking his head to the side.

”And why is that?” his eyes looked straight into her eyes making her conscious and she looked away.

He picked dull and easy women whom he could twist around his finger. Even the woman she had first found him talking to in her town was an easy pick for him. Knowing that she had said enough for the way day she kept her mouth shut. Who knew if that man would really dump her in a lake for speaking out her thoughts.

He took a couple of steps forward so that they stood in front of each other. He smiled at something she didn't know and it made her feel uneasy.

”Why do I have a bad taste in women, darling?” he coaxed the words gently. She heard alarm bells ring in her head when the Lord took another step forward and she instinctively took a step back. Taking a gulp she said,

”You know, what you're doing can be considered as terrorizing.”

”Well, I call it persuading.”

”I believe you aren't using the right wordbook, milord.”

”You didn't answer my question,” the Lord was too persistent and it didn't look like he would let it go. Taking a deep breath she then said,

”I don't think your excellence could be met with women of that..quality. A lord as yourself should pick someone of a better character and caliber, and settle down. Picking women of shallow mind will reflect bad on you.”

”You,” he said suddenly.

”Huh? I don't understand, Lord Nicholas,” confused, she saw him give her a trickster smile.

”Marry me then.”
