Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 17
“Hmm… When I just feel like seeing you, it’s better to come here and visit—of course, if Uncle permits.”
“Is that so?”
A sweet fragrance emanated from the flower cradled in Benjamin’s arms. All she needed to do was ensure it wouldn’t be broken by harsh storms.
Simply moving it to a sunnier spot, plucking off leaf-eating bugs, and faithfully listening to its quiet rustling was enough.
The child already possessed the strength to let his own flower bloom.
Jacqueline pointed toward an almond tree, her eyes sparkling.
“Oh! Benjamin, look—a longhorn beetle over there! Shall I catch it for you?”
Benjamin, about to nod eagerly with a bright expression, suddenly hesitated. A trace of worry flickered in his brown eyes as he glanced sidelong at her.
She thought she understood what was on the child’s mind. Placing her hands firmly on her hips, Jacqueline declared confidently,
“Benjamin, don’t worry. I won’t scream again—not ever. Last time, I was just startled, that’s all. I’m not some delicate young lady frightened by cicada shells.”
“Yes!”
Only then did the boy, seemingly reassured, reach his hand toward the beetle. His careful fingers shot out and firmly grabbed it.
The longhorn beetle, struck as if by lightning from a clear sky, belatedly flailed its legs—but it was already too late.
“Ah! I caught it! It’s a giant longhorn beetle, Miss Somerset!”
Benjamin beamed as he turned to her. His round eyes narrowed to fine threads, and his lips stretched wide in joy.
