She’s planning to have an early morning swim” Butler John patiently explained.Everyone noticed Mr. Stevenson’s furrowed eyebrows hearing the butler’s explanation.“Call her” he ordered.It’s seldom the family is complete. He wanted to have meals together since everyone is around.“If she says she wants to swim, just let her be” Daniel objected against his father.“Good morning” Celine’s voice greeted everyone before she sat beside Daniel.Mr. Stevenson was observing Celine as soon as she arrived. She didn’t look like she came from a swim. Is she avoiding the breakfast?“How’s your swim?” Mr. Stevenson asked while having a bite on his egg muffin.Celine looked at the older man before smiling.

After getting further instructions from the old man, she led the group back to the car and relayed the instructions to Lucas.“He said in 200 metres we will see an arc and we should turn left there. From the arc, we need to drive 500 metres more and his men will be waiting for us” she instructed and Lucas started driving slowly.When they reached the designated spot, they were greeted by two men: one old and one teenager. They must be father and son.“Welcome, Ms. Yates” the older man greeted them. Celine replied then introduced her company.“You can leave the car here; we’ll take the horses to the barn” the old man suggested.“What?” Aunt Marge asked.“Madam, this whole property beyond the fence is carbon-neutral territory, we cannot allow the car to come inside or else, we will lose our current standing and benefits” the old man explained carefully.Seeing there’s no point in arguing, they all followed the old man and his son to an old looking…Carriage???She felt like she went bac

She wanted to vent out her frustrations at the old man but she felt Aunt Marge’s warm arms around her shoulder.“It’s okay, Celine. Lucas will make the call for us. Let’s just enjoy our little vacation” Aunt Marge’s gentle voice calmed her down.Old Man Zach observed their interaction and felt curious.They must have a good relationship as in-laws.***Inside the car, just outside the farmgate, Lucas felt his ears were already bleeding listening to Daniel’s threatening voice.‘If anything happens to either of them, you will pay with your own life’ the young master was fuming.He only calmed down when Mr. Stevenson continued their conversation.He reported everything he learned and how the ladies were enjoying their stay which the old master appreciated.After a few more reminders from Mr. Stevenson, they ended their call and he went back to the main house.“I should be there. She’s a city girl, dad. She wouldn’t survive outside the city” Daniel objected.He already contracted a choppe
Crack My Code CHAPTER 118 – Shake It to Seal It
Celine was caught off-guard when her father was mentioned.She knew her father is always a sore topic amongst the Stevensons.She looked at the older lady to see any resentment in her eyes but she only saw curiosity. She tried to imagine the mighty Roland Yates but she could not imagine him living in a farm.She shook her head then smiled at the older lady.“For as long as I can remember, my father’s only focus is work. He always went overseas just to meet potential business partners. Doesn’t matter how short or how long his trips were as long as there is an opportunity, he would definitely go. I remember asking him if his trips were tiring and he would just smile.”“I think he was contented after his overseas trips that’s why I always know that his work gives meaning to his life and was always his priority” she recalled her father’s face longingly.Aunt Marge nodded as if seeing Roland Yates in a new light.“Your father didn’t bring you along?”“I think when I was a child, he would b

When they finished their lunch, Celine grabbed her bag only to realize that she left her phone in her room.On her way out, she found Daniel quietly blocking her way.She stopped in her tracks waiting for him to say something but he just looked at her deeply. He looked like he wanted to say something but decided against it.Instead, he pulled her towards his chest and cupped her face before giving Celine the most passionate kiss she ever tasted.For a moment she thought it was a different man but she knew it was still Daniel when he locked her again to his embrace and smelt his comforting scent.“I’m doing my best” he whispered almost pleadingly.When Celine looked at his sombre eyes, she didn’t know what to say. He has the power to make her shut up and explode at the same time. This time she chose to keep quiet and pulled him towards the bed.“I know” she said softly. “I want a chance to do my best too. To help you” she added with more resolve.There are moments in a person’s life wh

Lucas just followed everything Celine requested and drove silently to the highlands.Having made arrangements with the old man before driving up, the father and son staff were already waiting for them when they arrived.“Apologies for arriving so late, Old Man Zach” Celine apologized.“It feels just like this morning when I last saw you, Celine. Oh wait, it was indeed this morning” the annoying old man teased.“I just need to clear my head. We’ll be gone in the morning” she snapped clearly annoyed. It has been a long day and she just wanted to stretch her back on a soft bed.After all the revelations she learned that day, she just needs a quiet place to calm her mind and her churning stomach.“Oh, you’re welcome to stay of course” the old man quickly double back on his replies.After further instructions to the staff and reminders to Celine, the old man went to his room to retire for the rest of the night.Lucas wanting to report everything he found out to the Stevensons, excused him

I was so worried you would misunderstand so I came back. It turns out, you didn’t care about it at all” she smirked then went to her room.Before she could close the door, she felt two strong hands hugging her waist and she felt Daniel’s breath on her shoulder.When Daniel didn’t say anything, she decided to break the ice.“I’m almost done with the wedding preparations. So, when can I meet your bride?” she asked knowingly.“You won’t” he replied.And her smile grew wider.Looking back at their interactions, she realized Daniel never lied to her about his ‘bride’.All along it was just that.
