It wasn't easy to climb the cliff carrying something... Daichi immediately lies on the ground after they reach the top of the hill, he's catching his breathes.
Rodulf who comfortably sitting in one of the sofas beside the pool, eyes did not leave at his computer screen but prepared to scold Daichi.
"You just carrying that small thing but you're out of breath now?"
"What!? How about you tried to go down to the beach then climb back carrying a huge rock? Let's see who's tongue won't hang out of your mouth?" Daichi blurted.
Ca.s.sie and Shun now also arrived on top of the hill where the Villa stood up and they heard the conversation between the two men. Shun just shaking his head while Ca.s.sie was amused seeing these men are this close to each other.
"If only I have free time, I would love to help out... but it happens, I was working on the doc.u.ments because someone decided to have a stroll in the forest." Rodulf stated like a boss.
"Ahem." Shun cleared out his throat.
"Whoever complains, no dinner tonight." he then said and walk towards the kitchen door in the backyard.
Ca.s.sie who's stood behind can't stop giggling. She followed Shun in the kitchen to put away the fruits they've harvested in the forest.
In the kitchen is Auntie Ling who is busy preparing their dinner.
"Oh, am glad you both now home," she exclaimed.
"Do you need help, auntie Ling?" Shun asked.
"Oh, don't worry about it. You should both go and wash yourselves. Look at you both, bathing with sweat."
"Master Shun, just let us prepare our dinner tonight." Auntie Ling husband, Jing joined their conversation while entering the kitchen. He is carrying a huge fresh fish and crabs.
"Wow! My favorite!" Ca.s.sie jumped in excitement seeing the huge crabs.
"Okay, auntie Ling. I'll go in my room now to take a shower." Shun stated.
"Ca.s.sie, you should also change immediately before your sweat dried out on your clothes."
Ca.s.sie was a bit surprised of the concerned Shun shows to her. Her heart feels warm. "Okay, Master," she replied.
Shun nods before he left the kitchen. After he was gone on auntie Lings eyes, she sighed.
"You old hag, stop dreaming." Her husband teases her.
"Don't forget, I once had that kind of body when I was younger." Jing shows his muscles.
"Tsk. I just once blinded. Now I am stuck with you." Auntie Ling said jokingly.
Ca.s.sie who listens to the couple's conversation can't stop giggling.
"I wonder if Master Shun still single? I am sure, there's a lot of women throwing themselves to the master."
"He is handsome and rich, that's for sure. Look at your husband, even I only have this handsome and no wealth but a lot of women who want to throw their selves to me." Jing said boastfully.
"Che! Only I am who got blind and picks you."
"Why you'd always contradicted what am saying? You should support your husband sometimes."
"And what you wanted to show to me? That you wish I am not the one who falls in love with you and you marry somebody else?" Auntie Ling now began acted hurting.
Ca.s.sie on the other hand slowly retreating and left the kitchen as well, leaving the couple continued teasing each other.
A pinch on her heart seeing the middle age couple. Her parents were also teasing each other, showing love in every way in her memories. She can't help not reminiscing those times her parents were alive.
She witnessed how they love each other, helping each other and towards her. Remembering those made her teary eyes.
She right away runs to her bathroom and washes her face. She can't help to let the tears on her eyes. She stayed in the tub for several minutes before she finishes a shower and changes into house clothes.
***
Ca.s.sie went downstairs to check if there's something she could help in the kitchen... but auntie ling kicks her out and places some sandwiches on her hand. She suddenly felt the Hunger from their stroll and so she brings the plate in the living room.
After sitting in one of the sofas, she heard slippers coming down in the stairs. She doesn't need to look who it is. There's only one person upstairs and it was her Master. She just concentrates on taking a bite and chew the ham sandwich. She heard Shun's footsteps pa.s.s her just to surprised when he spoke behind her, too close to her ear.
"That looks tasty."
Ca.s.sie felt the hair on her back stood up. "Mas... Master Shun," she looks up at him.
Her eyes grew wide when Shun took the sandwich from her hand and take a big bite.
"Hmm... it really tastes good. No wonder you just ignore me." Shun's eyes gaze down on her and smiled.
SHUN'S POV
He is bathing with sweat greatly. His body is glowing with the sour water so he immediately went to the bathroom and take a shower.
After he was satisfied, he turns off the shower and dried himself before he went out of the bathroom then get a dress to house clothes.
After getting dress, he right away went downstairs and there he saw Ca.s.sie in the living room concentrates eating a sandwich.
It looks like that just an ordinary sandwich but staring how Ca.s.sie chew it slowly, his throat suddenly get dry and hunger rose from his stomach. That is why he did not get a hold of himself not to take a bite of the sandwich Ca.s.sie already began eating.
Looking at the innocent face of this girl, he himself surprised why he did that. What's wrong with him? To cover his embarra.s.sed, he picks up another sandwich and took a big bite.
"I'll go get some juice, what you wanted? I'll go get it." he turn around immediately after saying this to avoid the uncomfortable situation.
He take a glance and waited for Ca.s.sie to answered. She then look up at him and said she like some juice also.
