Luca

Chapter 23

Chapter 23

I watch him next to me, eat the food I help to cook with. He seems to really enjoy it because his smile can not be erase from his adorable face. We're at the dining room with Miss Edinburgh for lunch and you can see that she's happy with him acting like a kid. Napagsabihan narin namin siya kanina dahil bumangon agad siya sa kama. Kailangan niya munang manatili doon at magpahinga dahil baka mabigla ang kaniyang katawan. Ngunit mapilit ito at sinabing malakas na siya kaya wala na kaming nagawa at hinayaan na lang basta ay huwag siyang masyadong pasaway at pumirmi. Bahagya akong natatawa doon dahil para siyang batang pinagsasabihan.

Luca looked at my side and pouted. “Feed me me, please.”

I laughed and pick his spoon then use it to took of his pumpkin soup. I place it in front of him. “Say, ahhh.”

He open his mouth then mimic my voice. “Ahhh.” I fed him the food until it's only few. I laughed softly. “You're like a baby.”

He gave me a twinkling eyes, trying to look cuter. “I do?”

I can't stop myself to laugh again. “Yes, you do.”

“I'm glad that both of you are enjoying here.” Napalingon kami kay Miss Edinburgh nang magsalita ito. Nakangiti ito habang pinagmamasdan kami.

I smile. “Thank you again, Miss Edinburgh, on letting us stay in your mansion.”

“Yes. Thank you, Miss Edinburgh,” Luca agreed with a genuine smile.

Her face soften. “You two are so sweet. However, you don't need to thank me everytime. Just think that I'm your family from now on.”

I was stunned, I feel like I was about to cry. I almost thank her again but I stopped myself and smile and nodded. “We will, Miss Edinburgh.” Is she an angel? She's a gift from God.

LUCA and I were out on a stroll around Miss Edinburgh's garden with her two other maids following us. Weeks already have passed since we move in here and Luca is always by my side. Charlotte is still not awake and I'm a bit sad because she literally suffered physically more than us. But Miss Edinburgh always tells me that it's not my fault and it actually helps me to cope up. I'm delicately holding my white umbrella as the orange leaves fall on it while we walk on the grassy ground with few planted small trees. It's currently the season of autumn so everything we see is amber and russet while the temperature is chilly; that's why I am wearing more layered clothing.

I gaily point out a beautiful goose who stand so freely and look at Luca. He has this smile like he's really happy at the moment. I turn back again at the goose and giggle when it honk. “What a lovely of a goose it is,” I say and face him, “isn't it?” Bahagya akong natawa nang may malaglag na dahon sa kaniyang sombrero kaya tumingkayad ako at marahang tinanggal ito. Umayos na ako ng tayo at hinayaan na malaglag ang dahon mula sa aking daliri bago wala sa sariling napatitig sa kaniya na nakatitig din sa akin.

If he didn't smile wider and nodded for a response, I would embarrassment myself for staring at him for too long. He is dashing on his navy blue suit with red tie and a hat. His wavy hair is brushed up that emphasize his manly face and jawline——that I thought is only roundish because of his hairstyle before.

“Did I already said that you look so manly in your suit?”

I notice that it made him stunned and saw how his cheeks slowly flushed that made me slightly cover my mouth and gave a small laugh.

He notice it and frown. But he immediately smile cockily that made my forehead creased. My body froze when he slightly lean to my face. “Did I already said that you have a statuesque beauty, My Lady?” he whispered his endearment to me and wiggle his brows.
