I know it has been a while since I updated, but I really needed a break. I have been sick and I just wanted to rest, plus an aunt from out of town came visiting and she has been nursing me back to health.
That doesn't mean I haven't been writing! In fact, I have written up to chapter 55. It's all in bits and pieces, but I'm working hard to making it flow.
In the mean time, here is a little teaser of Chapter 42, we will finally meet the elusive Mr. Whitlock and the last missing piece for Bella's article. ENJOY!
This is hasn't being betaed, so forgive any mistakes....
I was watching the worker setting up the tables inside the green house, when I saw Mr. Jasper Whitlock talking to one of the gardeners.
I hadn't been able to talk to him so far, and last time he was here, he had to cut his trip short due to some emergency back in the states.
Seizing this opportunity, I slowly made my way towards him. When I was close enough, I could clearly hear him arguing with the gardener in fluent French. I didn't understand much of what he said, but the gardener seemed to be on the wrong by his guilty expression. Finally Mr. Whitlock patted the man on the shoulder and it seemed it was all forgiven.
“Hope you weren't too harsh on him,” I commented, startling Mr. Whitlock.
He turned around and smiled at me. “I can assure you Miss Swan that I wasn't It was a simple mistake, the man mixed up the flower arrangements, but it’s all sorted now.”
Mr. Whitlock had a slight Texan twang and a charming personality. His dark curly blond hair was slicked back and his smile was open.
“I see you know who I am,” I commented, shaking his hand when he offered it.
“Yeah, my Ali hasn't stopped talking about you,” he said taking a step back and shoving his hands inside his pant pockets.
I'll try to have a chapter ready for you all on Monday. I promise.
Thanks for reading and until next time, xoxo.
