Chapter 395 Only For You!(Chapter Preview)
"If you want to take a bath then hurry up or we will tell the lady that you are still sleeping and do not want to meet her for now!"
"That would be a lie!" the expression of Edward only changed uglier as he gritted his teeth.
'That must be leo! He must be afraid that he would lose all the power he had! Leo humiliated him so that he would give up and run away from them!
Of course, he was the head of the knights so all of them would listen to him. But if he thinks that he would be able to use his authority to harass him for long.
He was wrong! He just had to go and tell Evan the truth. This way, she would not only help him but even hate Leo more.
He had to make sure that she would not marry Leo otherwise he would be the duke!" clenching his hands into fist, he filled with determination.
He would not give up in front of these minor setbacks. He would go and meet his daughter, his trump card, no matter what!
"Fine! I am taking a bath here!" he said in a high and mighty voice as if he was going to fight with an enemy that the guards scoffed.
The man was too arrogant for his own good.
Letting go of the clean clothes he had, he took off his shirt and walked towards the pool.
"Hey, you! Take out your pants too or you will dirty all the water. There are still a few people left to take a bath!"
The voice was mocking his clothes that had been stained by the food of last night.
He could feel the eyes of the men on him that were in the pool. All of them were filled with humor and disdain that infuriated him.
If not for his resolve to meet Evan, he would have turned and beaten all of them and showed them what would be the result of infuriating him.
Taking a few deep breaths, he took off his pants too. But his eyes were with madness to take revenge.
He took slow steps towards the water that was colder than he had thought. It felt like the ice was crushed and filled in the pool. It was freezing cold.
His teeth started to chatter hard due to the cold and his body started trembling. Just after being seconds there, he splashed some water over his face with shaking hands and ran back on the ground.
Many felt amused looking at his actions and started to laugh at him. It only made him agitated as he hurriedly wore the first set of clothes.
At least, the clothes were of fine quality and looked fresh! Or else he would have really blown up.
He took hasty steps out from the place as he could still hear the whispers about him and then a pearl of laughter and soft chuckles.
They all were treating him like he was a fool! A clown for them to laugh on!
What did they think of themselves! What gave him the right to make fun of him! He was noting down everything and then he would take revenge from all of them who had dared to look down on him!
And when they would come to him and beg, he would only kick them away and show him their real place. Then they would realize what a big mistake he had made.
His eyes filled with certain madness as he continued to think about his revenge while walking in the middle of both knights.
He was looking no less than a prisoner to the spectators. Many maids stopped in their work when he crossed them and started talking about him.
The whispers fielded the air and at one time it was so loud that he could hear them clearly when he was lost in his thoughts.
"Look at him, he was the one who claimed to be dead and sold his daughter and now he has come back!"
"I know! There is no shame left in this world. How could he behave so arrogant after acting dead!"
"He must be here to ask for more money, greedy people like him could never change!"
"If i would have been his daughter, i would have refused to recognize him with embarrassment!"
"Yes, I heard that he had thrown a tantrum last night about his room! What did he even think of himself while living in his daughter's in-laws house!
What an embarrassment!" that lowly beings!
He raised his head and glared at them with a piercing look but none of them felt scared!
They all just scoffed and turned their head away as if looking at them would malign their eyes.
The utter disdain and disgust in their eyes left him seething in anger!
"Hey, why are you taking so much time? We did not have a whole day to escort you and not to forget that the lady has been waiting for you since morning!
Do you think that she did not have any other task to do except entertaining you?" the way he was berated and talked to, as if he was just a beggar that was living on their alms.
Why must they behave like they were superior to him when they all were just lowly maids and servants!
Just a minute and then he would be with his daughter and teach all of them a lesson.
"Here we are!" He raised his head and a smirk formed on his face when he saw Evan sitting under the gazebo while waiting for her.
She smiled as soon as she noticed him and stood up. She ran towards him like a little kid that only widened his smile.
"Oh father, you are finally here! I was waiting for you for hours!" the sense of superiority instantly came and his heart felt at ease.
Yes that was how it should be! They should be waiting for him!
"Is that so? That was becauseā¦"
"Oh, we can talk about breakfast. You must be hungry!" She held his hand and brought him towards the table that was filled with dishes.
The man who was about to complain about the misbehavior of the servants frowned when he was cut in between.
But thinking that she must be worried about him, he felt pleased and the frown turned into an eased look.
When his eyes fell on the table that was filled with an assortment of dishes, his eyes sparkled! Only then did he realized how hungry he was!
Leo had tried to poison him last night. That was why he was not able to eat anything but there was no way that he would mix something when Evan was going to have a meal with him!
With that he sat on the chair with ease but did not initiate to take the food as he stared at the maids.
Since he was a noble now, they should be serving him the food!
"Jenny! The food had turned so cold! Go and bring the new set of meals!"
his mouth that was already drooling turned dry and his stomach started to grumble!
"Oh, that would not be needed! I have kept you waiting for long, I could not keep you waiting further due to the small matter!" If he could bathe in cold water, then he could manage to eat cold food at once too!
"Oh! Do not worry about me father, I have already had my meal. The whole set of food will be made especially for you!"
