Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 204

Sofia’s POV

It was most definitely not a bad feeling, neither was it a good feeling. But then it was like it was in between the two feelings.

“When would you be heading into the house, ma’am?” Ryan asked after about a minute and I shrugged my shoulders a little as I tightened my hold on the large teddy in my arms, before turning my head around slightly to stare up at him.

“Not anytime soon.” I said to him before averting my gaze away from him to face the sky once again. The heat of the sun felt really amazing against the skin of my face and I felt a settle bit of sweat start to slide down my back, beneath the large shirt I currently had on.

Ryan remained silent after that and we both stood still in the afternoon breeze, feeling the hot sun shining down on us at the same time. Moments like this make me think about my brother. There was no escaping it, that particular topic was most definitely going to slip into my thoughts whether I want it to or not, and I puffed out a deep breath as I pressed my face into the warm and soft fur of the bunny.

I suddentou got an idea. It was something I’ve always wanted to do ever since I got married and this house became my new home. I turned my whole body around and stared up at Ryan, to see him watching me, he didn’t Avery his gaze and our gazed locked instantly.

I chewed on my lower lip for a few seconds before finally starting to speak.

“Uh, Ryan?” I called out to him and watched as his brows shut up in response.

“What’s at the back of the house?” I asked him on the next moment and noticed how he got wary instantly.

I most definitely wasn’t going to back down today.

“Just the walls.” He said in response to me after a few seconds, and paused for a few seconds before continuing. “Would you like to go back into the house now, ma’am? I wouldn’t want you to get a sunburn.”

I shook my head a little, as I lifted my free hand up and used it to mop at my sweaty forehead a little before starting to speak. “No, I don’t want to go in yet.” I informed him before turning around and starting to make my way down the few stairs.

“What are you doing, ma’am?” Ryan asked behind me almost immediately and I didn’t reply to him until I was at the bottom of the stairs. I turned around once I was at the last floor in order to stare up at him and reply to his question, only to see that he was directly behind me.

How the- how did he climb down the stairs so quietly.

“Ma’am?” He called out and I rolled my eyes a little, of course we were once again back to him referring to me ax ma’am and finding it extremely hard to call me by my face name. I decided not to comment on that and instead shrugged my shoulders a little at him.

“I’m going to the back of the house, I want to see what’s there.” I said to him in response and watched as he breathed out a small sigh before starting to speak.

“It’s just the walks of the house.” He said once again and I huffed out a small breath at his response.

“Yeah, right. I’m going to go see for myself.” I said to him as I turned away from him and started to make my way around the side of tne house. Ryan was standing beside me in a fleeting second, stopping me from taking another step, and I stared at him exparaterly in the next second.

“You can’t go there.” He started to say and I narrowed my eyes at him.

“Why can’t I go there?” I paused. “Huh? You said it was just the walls, didn’t you? Then why can’t I go over there?”
