My Stubborn Mistress - Chapter 351

Days before Ken Chen arrived in Paris…

Inside the library, Levi is reading a part of the book to Quinn when Madison entered the room.

“You guys won’t go to bed yet?” Madison asked them.

“Nah. Am doing a bedtime story as you can see,” Levi’s looked up and wink at Madison. It sounded teasingly, with this it made Quinn twitch his brows upward. Madison giggles then sit beside Levi.

“Then better to do it in the bedroom, is it?”

“How was Cassie?” Levi asked Madison afterward.

Madison rested her head on Levi’s shoulder, then replied, “She’s now sleeping after the talk. She mentioned attending Miss Loura’s class every weekend, and she said, she seems familiar with Papa visiting Mr. Larry’s school these passing years she lives in Paris.”

“Hmm… the Quinn of that lifetime. One of the fateful events in their lives. Strange they never cross paths,” Levi commented, his eyes stay on the book but arms put around his arms around her shoulder.

“That book? Which chapter you are guys reading?” asked Madison, then borrowed the book from Levi and flip the pages.

The book is about the past. She re-read that chapter and imagined the scene inside her head.

“Madison!” Levi screamed when the book fell on the floor, and she fell slowly on Levi’s lap as she lost consciousness.

Quinn sat up from the couch and quickly came near them. “Madison! What’s going on?”

“Maybe she time travel, brother Quinn!” Levi assumes. He and Quinn met gazes.

“Come, put her on the carpet,” Quinn ordered Levi, then he runs toward the door. “Butler Leroy! Informed Butler Pete, we have to travel time, watch after Cassandra!” His request then went back inside.

He saw Levi already lost consciousness beside Madison, holding her hand. He also lay beside Madison and took her hand, with this, his consciousness dragged somewhere.

Butler Leroy and Butler Pete entered the room. Bringing a blanket, Pete covered his master’s body, including Madison and Quinn. As for butler Leroy, he makes sure that the heat of the room is enough to warm them up. He adds more woods on the fire. He looked outside the window and rain continues pouring down.

“I will guard Miss Young’s bedroom. She might suddenly be woken up by the heavy rain,” Leroy told the other butler. Pete nodded while dialing his phone to call certain people to make a report.

In the hallway trailing toward Cassie’s room, butler Leroy called Chairman Nicholas to give his report of the events. He sighed. Since his young Master Quinn born into this world, he already knew that strange things will happen. What he did not foresee is how depressing and complicated it will be.

As the days pass, things get complicated between his master and the Miss. However, being one of the Watchers; all they have to do is sit and watch.

Quinn opens his eyes. Which time did they travel? He hopes it’s not the time before. But to his disappointment, they travel back to the 18th Century.

Why have they traveled here again? He asked himself. Why they can’t connect to the time, where Cassandra now?

“Papa?”

He turned around, and he saw Madison walking towards him. “Madison, I am glad you are fine. Where is Levi?” he asked.

“He went to get us clothes.”

“Oh, I see…” he keeps silent. They were hiding in a hut. And he could remember this place. Carlisle and Marivella spend a night here. Probably not only one night, and no one knows but only them.

“Papa, are you okay?”

“Yes, I am.” He nodded. “How about you? Are you feeling all right?” he returned the question.

“I’m okay, Papa. Don’t worry about me.” She smiled but studied Quinn’s feature. Dark circles and tired eyes. He looks frustrated but keeps his calm. She strides closer to him and gives Quinn a warm embrace.

“Madison?”

“We will see her one day,” she began crying.

“Shush… don’t blame yourself, okay?” he comforted her despair.

“But I wished I could bring you to the time, where is Mama right now.”

“But she is here.”

Madison let go of him, then lookup. Quinn wipes the tears in her eyes.

“Now to think about it. You will get to see your mama before she will give birth to you.”

Madison’s eyes sparks. That’s right! Her first life sounded sad. She grew up without a mother. If she’s not reincarnated, for the second time, she won’t have an experience having parents in the form of Allison and Marco. And she never regretted that they who became her parents. Plus, she also meets her first parents from her past life.

She has more parents to call, and this she never anticipates she could have.

“Why we’re brought back here? Can you tell me what chapter of the book we are now?”

“I can’t tell, yet Papa. I’m sorry. I don’t know how to use this ability properly.”

“It’s okay. Don’t think about it. Since we’re here already, we better keep our presence low.”

Not long after, Levi came back with clothes from this century. They get change their clothes and blended with the crowd. Levi also found fake beards they put under their nose. Quinn hesitant at first, but they need to disguise as much to avoid people of mistaken them as Carlisle and Charles.

Royal Military Base, Paris

“Captain Carlisle Williams and Captain Klein Williams. I’ve been waiting for the both of you,” Major Alexandre Berger began.

“The second Prince of Korea is visiting France. I want to ensure his safety while he is in the country. Captain Carlisle, your voyage toward the New Found Land will have to delay.”

“I understood, Major Berger, sir!” Carlisle replied.

“However, as for you Captain Klein Williams. You have to go back immediately to bring supplies for our soldiers.”

“Copy, Major Berger,” Klein responded.

“Captain Carlisle, assemble your soldiers and prepared them for the Prince’s arrival.”

“Copy, Major Berger!”

“All right, you can leave now.”

“Thank you, sir!”

The Williams twin stepped out of the office. Everyone that they passed intimidates by their presence, and as of the women, they were trying their best to notice.

“The aristocrats are coming to Paris,” Klein who first broke the silence.

“Hah…”

“Including your fiancée.”

Carlisle pressing his lips and say no words. The gatherings will be attended by Royal families. Including the Dukes and Lords of many nations. Who is this Prince of Joseon? Carlisle was pondering things when Klein tapping his shoulder.

“It seems, the elders counting on you, and so, do nothing that will ruin our family’s reputation.” Klein’s meaningful words.

Carlisle clenches his palm and darkened his expression. He hasn’t seen Marivella again, after that night. He woke up alone in the hut, and she’s not showing up anymore. And it’s been a month now. He is worried if something happens to her.

‘Do nothing? Hah!’ Even he wanted to run away, but how he should do that? When Marivella turned him down?

Marivella broke up with him. Although they were barely like a couple, their relationship exposed and his family against it because of Marivella’s family status.

He wanted to elope with her. He is ready to give up everything, but she’s afraid that his family will turn to her family, and they would suffer because of her. And so, Marivella turned her back on him.

Carlisle is walking the street absent-minded. His foot brought him to the place that he and Marivella often met. He comes here almost every day but been a month since Marivella did not visit the grave. Carlisle turned around to leave… then, his heart thumping happily.

“Marivella!”

It also surprised her upon seeing him in the graveyard. Marivella bows at him as a respect, but then she walked past him. Carlisle tempted to follow her, but he doesn’t want to bother her visit to her deceased older sister. And so, he just suits himself waiting outside the graveyard Arc as an entrance gate of the Cemetery.

Not long after, Marivella finished her visit and walking with a hasty, ignoring him. Quietly, Carlisle follows her. He just followed behind and suppress himself by holding her inside his arms. It’s been a month and so, he misses her.

They were trailing the riverside. Sadly, the beautiful sunset does not harmonize with the moods. There were no more wonderful moments; watching together like before.

Carlisle halted his steps as Marivella stops walking. A minute had passed before he strode closer at her then throw his arms around her. She’s crying. And so he tightens his embrace and buried his face on her shoulder blade.

Watching from the distance, Madison crying inside Levi’s arms. She’s feeling too much despair. For 300 years, their love never has a happy ending yet. There is always a wall that keeps separating them. Until at the present, all they have is like a secret affair.

She was aware, that every time Cassandra came back to their present life, she and Quinn spend the night intimately. But then, she will disappear again.

What they should do, so they finally have the fulfillment of their love?
