117 Sibling and cousin- Part 4 (2/2)

”I think most of us admire your charming quality of being forthright. Including Nicholas himself I am sure. Thank you for being honest,” he smiled at her holding no ill feelings towards her, ”I hope he treasures you,” Heidi felt her cheeks turn red and she did nothing but smile.

”Would you want me to accompany you to the soiree which you mentioned earlier?”

”Only if you're willing. We do have to close to the end line of the truce,” Heidi was glad that Warren took her sincere feelings without any retort to it. At least this way there would nothing awkward between them anymore.

When Heidi and Warren went out of the room, outside the mansion entrance as Venetia and Warren were leaving, Warren spoke to Nicholas in a low tone to keep the conversation between them.

”I know you were listening to us,” said Warren to see Nicholas raise his perfectly shaped brow.

”Was I now?” he cracked a smile in the end.

”I will wait for you to slip up. Once you do, I will take care of her,” Warren said to his cousin with a grim expression, ”I am not joking about it.”

”Of course, you aren't but you will be waiting for the impossible. Take care, cousin,” Nicholas waved his hand. Warren stepped into the carriage before the carriage took off to the Lawson's mansion.

Heidi saw Nicholas look at the carriage that disappeared into the thick forest and when he turned around he looked straight into her eyes, his intimidating eyes were too much to handle for her weak, human heart but she continued to stare back at him. He made his way to where she was and leaned down to kiss her on her lips not bothering about the shocked expressions of the passing maids and servants. The servants were sworn to keep silent about their masters affairs therefore it didn't matter what he did. She tilted back her head so that she could kiss him back. It was a sweet kiss that made her curl her toes.

Pulling back, she found Nicholas giving her a full blown smile which made her wary and in turn it made him chuckle.

”Now that the nuisance is gone, why don't we spend some quality time together,” he stated before tugging her hand which he held in his.

”Where are we going?” she asked him curious with a spark of excitement.

”Hunting in the forest for dinner,” and she let him lead hertowards the horse shed with glee.
