Scheming fox

"What? If you think I am already too old for you, you can just say it, there is no need using such words as an excuse," thus words came out of Lady Magret's mouth before she could stop them. It was just that she hated the fact that Ericsson was looking at her without answering her questions.

She knew it, that this man has always treated her like a royal robe of his brother but hearing him say it, made her blood boil. Although she did not realize all this while that she loved him in that way, but it did not make the pain less when she heard his answer. 

Ericsson was shocked once more, he could not seem to keep up with the train of thought of Lady Magret. 

When had he said she was too old? Ellen on the other hand had a small smile on her face. One could not notice it, but Sébastien did. What could he do? His sunshine was a fox, he knew that she knew that these two people loved each other, but will never take a step in that direction, because of his father.
