Miss Amber looked at her fiance, eyes squeezing. She was wondering how his expression could turn suddenly cold at the moment.
Not that she was not accustomed to it, however, it was too sudden and she felt as if her soon-to-be husband, Duke of Dunhill was slowly departing from his reality ever since he came to Beddington to visit her as he had claimed.
"James, there is something you are not telling me."
Duke James looked at his fiancee before he stopped walking. "What about? Do you reckon we will go back home?"
Miss Amber blinked in surprise before she shook her head and nagged, "Why has your mood changed drastically? I only want to know if there is anything wrong between you and the King of Juland. You were once close I guess, but suddenly—"
"I need fresh air, My lady," Duke James increased his walking pace, leaving Miss Amber behind and frozen to where she stood.
