Chapter 5 The Castle

I looked up at him and found his handsome features so charming.

His deep, starry blue eyes stared at me, and I could see my reflection in them.

His nose was high like the Snowy Mountains of Cook Island, and as his chest rose and fell, I was sure he could smell the faint scent of flowers on me.

The Lips, my God, my eyes were almost entirely focused on his thin, blushing lips.

I even picture him kissing me passionately in my mind -- and I'm sure it will happen soon.

His smile stretched to his thin lips, and I saw the corners of his eyes narrow slightly, the stars shining in his eyes.

Almost instantly, I fell in love with him.

It took me almost a moment to realize that I should invite him to my house for a while, and maybe I could take the opportunity to talk to him a little longer: "Come in, I'll Have Miss Susan prepare you some black tea."

He seemed a little surprised that I would invite him in.

"Thanks, I'm all good. Isn't Gideon Home?" He asked, smiling as he looked behind me.

I pursed my lips and smiled, looking up at him, with some mischievous wink: "No, but I believe he will be back soon, why don't you come in and wait for him?"

I turned to look at him expectantly.

Lyon did not seem to want to come in. He hesitated at the door for a moment, then looked at me and said: "Actually, I came here today to ask him for the key to the castle. I need to find something in our family castle."

The castle?

The Alexander Family Castle, I remember, Gideon had taken me there before, near this house, was a very old villa, with medieval architecture, that looked like a castle from the outside.

It had three floors, including a basement and secret rooms that I didn't know about, each holding the secrets of this ancient and mysterious family.

Maybe those secrets will help my revenge plan!

A Sly gleam in my eye and I'm sure Lyon didn't notice my glee.

Since you're not coming in, I can come with you!

"I have the key."

I do know where the key is, although I've never been to the Alexander family castle myself before, but in my previous life, following Gideon, I went there once or twice and showed me many of the antiques in the family collection, there were some family business documents, but I wasn't interested in that at the time.

There was one layer I was curious about, because Gideon had never taken me in, and it required some sort of code to open the door, and it seemed to contain something important.

Today, while Gideon is not at home, I might be able to follow Lyon to the castle and find something that will help me get my revenge.

I looked at Lyon and waited for his answer. He raised his eyebrows slightly and then smiled gracefully. "That would be great. I'll bring it back soon."

"No."

"Excuse me?" He was stunned for a moment, looking down at me with some doubt in his eyes.

"I mean, I'll take the key and go with you." I winked at him and followed my smile with two dimples.

Lyon, I'm sure, was not expecting this.

He stiffened visibly and then said, in a low, slightly uncertain voice, "I know where the castle is."

"As a member of the Alexander family, I'm sure you won't forget the location of your family's old castle," I smiled and took the opportunity to approach him, "I lost something last time I went there with Gideon, and I want to go and try to find it."

If my memory is correct, or if what happened in this life will be the same as in the previous one, then I did go to the old house once a week ago.

Lyon heard what I Said and nodded silently. His eyes were fixed on me, and I could feel the suspicion in his eyes, but it was more of his carefully hidden love for me.

As for how can I be sure that he has fallen in love with me at this moment, I can't explain it, just feel the heat flow coming out of my heart, just like the literal meaning, the heat flow.

As long as I get close enough to him, I would feel a little warm in my heart, the kind of warm, comfortable heat flow.

Julianna's POV

"Give me a minute, I'll get the castle key," I said, smiling at him.

A few minutes later, I took the key, changed my clothes and appeared in front of him.

Lyon looked at me again with a look of admiration, his head slightly turned to look at my emerald velvet dress, and the flashing pearls necklace on my chest, his started a little short breath.

I saw him take a deep breath and say, "That dress looks good on you."

"Are you complimenting me on my beauty?" I stroked my slightly curly hair behind me, walked up to him, raised my head, and looked at him innocently.

His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, but his eyes did not shy away from looking straight at me: "To be honest, no one is more beautiful than you."

Originally, I just wanted to tease him, but he was so direct. Now, it was my turn to be shy. The warmth in my heart made me feel a little suffocated. Finally, I couldn't resist his eyes which were filled with a little temptation. I turned my head away, breathing out gently.

"Well, get in, Miss Julianna."

He let out a laugh in his throat and stretched out his arm to guide me. I saw a Lamborghini parked where his arm was pointing.

He bent slightly, holding his arm for me to block the roof waiting for me to get on the car. He was so close to me right now, I suddenly turned around, and the tip of my nose touched his neck.

He shivered and looked down at me.

At such close range, if he bent a little more he could easily kiss my forehead.

"What's Wrong?" His tone was flustered, but he didn't pull away from us. Instead, he turned his head and looked me in the eye. My Hot Breath was caressing his arms and neck.

"No, I just wanted to say that I'm a little carsick and I was hoping you could take a detour down the smoother road." I gave a nifty shrug.

"No problem," he said with a chuckle.

Then I got in his car and, with the window rolled down slightly, put my arm around the edge of the window and smiled triumphantly as I realized he had taken a much flatter road that was much farther away.

That way, I can spend more time with him in the car.
