Chapter 6 (The one grapefruit pie)

"It was a good journey wasn't it, love?" "It was truly a pleasant one, dear" Emilia gently gripped William's left hand making him smile at her sudden action. They currently shifted to Durham so that he will have easier access to the university and also so that she will be able to be in contact with the hospital.

All four of them were supposed to visit their new home together but due to some urgent work Emilia had in London she would have been late so like a gentleman he was, he waited for her and here they were setting foot in Durham searching for their new home.

"Louis did gave you the map right?" "Yes....here!" he pulled out a small piece of paper from his coat 's pocket, making both of them sweatdrop at Louis's detailed map.

"It's a bit too much....." "I have to agree....." they sighed and soon bursted into small giggles. "Let's try his instructions, shall we?" "Sure, there's nothing to loose" they agreed with each other, soon following Louis's instructions hoping they will reach their destination soon......
But did they?

(39 minutes later~!)
"Have we not reach yet?" "..... Unfortunately no" they had been roaming around the town for a very long time and still they hadn't reach their destination, tiring them at this point.

"Are you tired love?" "Don't worry I can keep on walking" "You don't have to force yourself, let's take a break.....how about resting there for a moment?" Emilia glanced at the bench which caught William's interest, and nodded exhaustedly.

"Sorry you have to bear this because of me" Emilia frowned at the thought. "Why are you apologizing, love? I came with you with my own will so it's my own fault, don't fret over it" "But.....if I had taken the lead over directions than we might not have been here" "So you mean I am not good at reading maps?" he made a sad face making Emilia regret her words immediately.

"That's not what I meant, dear! Even if you might not be good at catching directions I still adore that part of you and....I love you" she blushed furiously over her words."That was quite sweet of you and I love you too" he rubbed her hands and than gently kissed them.

It was a bit surprising to her since he wasn't really that affectionate in public places the most they did was hold hands but it was also true that there weren't any people besides them in that place.

After an adequate amount of time, Emilia spoke "I think we should keep going Louis would worry about us if we didn't make it in time." William nodded and they soon began walking again, this time Emilia guiding them.

"Watch out, you stupid woman!" the commotion made them turn back."Baron Dublin is riding in here, quick get out of the way" soon enough the lady gave the way for the carriage to pass by.

"Are you alright?" William and Emilia made their way to the lady to help her. "Are you hurt?" Emilia asked but she froze when she realised the lady glaring at the carriage that passed them just now, she looked over to William and found him noticing the very same thing.

"We are home!" the couple finally reached their home."We apologize for arriving so late" "Have you finished cleaning?" they panicked slightly noticing the time.

"Welcome back William, Emilia. We have just finished. Louis also helped a lot" "It was so dirty at the start" "Than you must have done a very good job Louis, Ni-sama, the house is sparkling!" Emilia observed the manor and she truly found it sparkling clean.

"What Emilia said is true, it really is very clean. Thanks for your work Louis. Albert is so particular and fastidious on top of that....." William said."The furniture can be used as it is, this was a good buy" "Well than let's have dinner shall we?" Albert and Louis went ahead while William and Emilia turned back  thanking the man who drove them here.
