Chapter 719: Trotting- Part 3

"Simple questions like those should have known answers, milady," replied Theodore. "But please do let me know if there's anything important if you would like me to answer to." 

Lucy sent him a glare from where she was sitting on her horse. The audacity of this man to be replying to her as if it was nothing. 

"I have lost interest in asking the questions now," said Lucy. "I don't think any of us have spotted any stag around here. We should probably go back where the others are. I should have gone with Samuel." 

Theodore watched Lucy while she and Sophie Wilmot were trotting in front of him in the forest. His eyes had left hers only when she was looking at him. His ears had tuned themselves to her heart beat while listening to every word that came out of her lips.
