93 Whom she belongs to- Part 3 (2/2)
”I finished meeting and came here,” Warren answered. Taking a deep breath he then said, ”I want to talk to you about something,” seeing Nicholas turn around he asked, ”What happened to the necklace ?”
”Why are you asking me? I am not the one you gifted it to,” the lord stated uninterested with his question.
”Nick,” Warren stared at him.
”What did I say about doing unnecessary things,” Nicholas turned around to look at him, ”Didn't I say you not to do anything which wasn't required?”
”It was just a necklace.”
”A necklace for which you took your time out and went to Mythweald to fetch it personally, yourself.”
”Why not, I think-” Warren stopped talking when something sharp graze his cheek before the door was hit. It was the quill Nicholas had been playing with his hands which he threw at him.
”My, did I miss that?” Nicholas asked smiling at a stunned Warren. A small streak of red line formed on Warren's cheek, ”My dear cousin, are you forgetting what we discussed?” he tutted. ”You will only act as a catalyst for the truce and not involve yourself more than required with the lady. You will hold no actual interest in her. Weren't you the one who was against the whole ordeal before I stepped in and set the rules?”
”It was in the beginning. Now I care for her,” hearing Warren, Nicholas scoffed.
”I don't care if you hold feelings for her, it might be natural for one to hold after all she is your fiance right now. She is not yours to take care Warren.”
Warren's lips were set in line, ”Do you like her?”
”That's none of your concern now, is it. I do hope that you erase whatever is blooming in that dead heart of yours before I tear it out myself,” the lord warned him with a deadly look.
It was true that when the truce was made, Warren was asked to only behave as a groom for the truce as he didn't any part in it. Things had changed after knowing Heidi Curtis. He wasn't in love with her but he had come to like her but the unexpected turn was that his cousin was interested in her too. Nicholas wasn't joking and looked with a serious intent, both the men staring at each other. This had never occurred before them, not because there wasn't a truce before but because his cousin wasn't the kind to threaten someone over women. Up till now to Nicholas, women were only the kind to provide food and sex to him. Nicholas hadn't answered his question but it seemed that he held some sort of feelings towards Heidi.
Warren gauged the lord's expression before looking away with a sigh, to say, ”I understand. I won't do anything unnecessary and will act out my part as asked,” he complied not wanting to ruffle the man's uneven temper that lurked behind the dark eyes.
