Even in the backyard, Ciel only stopped when he got to the very corner so that absolutely no one could see.
And when he looked at Madam Zhou, he showed a charming thin smile, a smile that somehow made Madam Zhou’s heart beat hard because that smile seemed to give a certain signal.
‘What the hell?’ she kept wondering.
“What do you want to say, Prince?” She then asked Ciel.
Right after she said that, Ciel who was originally just smiling suddenly made a move, his hand grabbed her hand, and even held it tightly.
Madam Zhou froze while her mouth opened, looking at Ciel in disbelief.
“Madam, I’ll be honest, I quite like you,” Ciel said without preamble.
“I like your face, your figure, and your style. And I can’t stop thinking about you. You know…” Ciel stopped and smiled wryly as if he was regretting the fact that he could not control himself.
“P-Prince, what nonsense are you saying?” Madam Zhou replied with rapid breathing, something that caused her breasts to jiggle due to the movement of her chest.
She could not be more shocked than this.
Although she had some thoughts towards Ciel because of her life problems, but there was no doubt that she regarded Ciel as a young man of her son’s age.
Even if then Ciel lusted after her, it was not surprising to her because middle-aged women like her were sometimes more attractive to young men. Her son for example, often played around with middle-aged women.
She was certainly not a woman who could be treated like that because of her husband.
Perhaps Ciel could indeed tell his passion to her because with his status, even her husband would not dare to overreact to him.
It’s just that, Ciel’s words were a little different, it wasn’t just about desire.
If he was a young man who had desire for her, he could occasionally tease her like his son often did to other women, not take her to a quiet place to have a serious talk.
That was precisely what confused Madam Zhou. Did Ciel have any interest in a woman who was married and much older than him?
While Madam Zhou was still thinking, Ciel moved again.
This time going further, he embraced her waist before pulling her into his arms so that their faces were facing each other.
Madam Zhou would probably kill anyone who dared to act like that towards her, but from the very beginning she had the thought that Ciel was a man who should not be harmed by anyone because his background was too noble. Hence, her power was always in a dormant state when she was beside Ciel. Didn’t even think of activating it no matter what Ciel did.
“Madam, I really like you. I want you to divorce the Blue Cloud God and then become my wife,” Ciel said, directly to her as their faces were facing each other.
To Madam Zhou, this only added to the shock she was feeling, causing even her brain to be unable to think anymore.
It was only because Ciel was suggesting that she divorce the Blue Cloud God, something she really wanted to do, but was unable to do.
Of course, there were other things that made her feel chaotic.
What did it mean that she had become his wife?
For Madam Zhou this was also something very difficult due to their age difference.
Ciel knew that this was not something that could be decided in a short time even though Madam Zhou wrote in her diary that she wanted a divorce.
Ciel released his embrace but still held her hand.
“You can think about it first. Don’t worry, I’m just expressing my feelings, I won’t force you at all, but still I need an answer no matter if you agree or refuse.”
After saying that, only then did he let go of her hand.
He took a step, but stopped after only one step.
“Now I want to go to Madam Maya’s place first, I want to see what she’s planning. You don’t need to think too much about this. Regardless of her offer to me and your answer later, I will still support your son,” he said before moving on, leaving Madam Zhou alone there.
The woman was really struggling to calm down. Even after Ciel disappeared from her sight, it still took several minutes before she could think.
“What should I do?” She wondered, pacing erratically, left and right.
Her heart was beating hard, she was panicked and nervous, even her blood felt cold.
“Right, when else would I have the chance to get a divorce. The Ice Prince must have helped me because he asked for it, but what should I do after that? Become his wife? No, isn’t that too much? People will criticize us, but the Prince?”
As she continued to think about Ciel, Madam Zhou could not help but feel that something strange was rising within her.
Ciel was a young man with impeccable looks, the kind that was very pleasant to look at.
If Madam Zhou hadn’t interacted with Ciel, just watched him from afar, she would probably have continued to tell her daughter about his prowess.
What made Madam Zhou feel so touched by Ciel was actually the fact that he would help her no matter what Madam Maya would offer him, and even if she rejected his feelings. 𝗈𝓋𝓛xt.𝒞𝒪𝓂
For any woman, this is indeed something that can strike their heart, making them consider the man who did that to them as the pillar of their life.
‘What if I just accept him?’ That thought suddenly flashed through Madam Zhou’s head.
Only an instant after, her face turned slightly red.
That one thought caused many others, even some wild imaginations.
One of them was; ‘The Ice Prince is definitely a romantic man, he will make any woman happy. Even Miss Mu, the Ice Goddess’ disciple who is said to always be cold looks very comfortable with him. I might be able to experience real romance with him.’
