My Lady Chef novel Chapter 35

Ezran's POV:

Her dainty brows furrowed for a while before she sighed and bobbed her head.

I was relieved and for a moment; I kissed her gloved hand to see if her expression has softened. When I looked up, my heart thumped loudly against my chest when I saw her cheek turn pink and she looked troubled again.

Ah....how adorable.

Feeling hopeful, I went to the other side of the hedge and waited. A few minutes later, Lady Margaret Lorax arrived exactly where I was.

She was beautiful as ever and she looked excited and pleased to see me.

Her reaction left me colder than ever. From her fiery red locks to her curvaceous body that promised sultry nights of seduction and endless perversions but somehow my ardor has died a quick death.

leaving me with feelings of irritation and anger at her obvious covetous ploys.

"Darling! I knew that those ugly black flowers were a ruse! You came to me after reading my letter." her gentle voice was well-modulated and controlled as she walked closer to me and tried to hug me but I pulled away.

She seems surprised but then she recovered and tried to kiss my cheek but I pulled away from her.

"This is not funny, Lady Lorax."

"But my love...."

"Stop it. Do not call me that." My furious voice dripped with irritation as I feel my eyes glow in the night which made her pretty face go pale with fright. " You seem to think you are an exception to the rule so let me assure you that you are not. Our little assignation is done, Lady Lorax so I suggest you cease with your attempts at sending me letters."

I spat out my words with a hiss that she recoiled as the shadow behind me trembled and howled eerily, scaring the stupid girl as she stumbled back as the night shadows grew bigger.

"Y-You are serious...Is it because of that...that woman?! She is a simple border bumpkin from the provinces. How can she be comparable to my class and breeding! " she scowled at me, her flushed face indignant that I would dare to defend my wife.

My instincts made me take a threatening step towards her and she stumbled back, her eyes wide with fear as the wind howled loudly into the night.

"Watch your tongue. That woman is my wife and I intend to be loyal to her. "

"You will tire of her and then you will come back to me." She whimpered when I growled inhumanely, causing her to gasp and step back in fright.

Stupid girl...

"I doubt it. You are dismissed, Lady Lorax. LEAVE."
