Dylan Windell’s POV

I used to be placing all the garments that I might be bringing on the expedition into the suitcase that I’ve opened up for my journey. I used to be a large number. I’ve to get my ideas collectively however I can not do it as a result of I do know that Daisy might be round males and I understand how they felt towards her.

She was the right Southern Belle and nobody wouldn’t flirt together with her.

I went downstairs with them when my butler was me surprisingly. I used to be holding the suitcase earlier than he got here and carried it earlier than I used to be hopping into the jeep that I’ll carry to the Midwest throughout the nation.

I hope I cannot be too late.

“Might I do know the place you’ll be gone too, sir? It will likely be simpler if Grasp Samuel requested me later,” my butler mentioned as I used to be him.

“Midwest,” I mentioned shortly earlier than I used to be beginning the ignition and I used to be wanting on the rearview mirror earlier than I used to be placing on the sun shades. The sky was darkened however I do know it won’t if I do not take into consideration Daisy proper now and the way I wanted to interrupt any neck of a man that might be wanting her means.

I gritted my enamel earlier than I shifted the stick into D and sped off from the storage into the highway that may lead me to the expedition. However first, I’ve to do one thing. I seemed on the tackle that I’ve put contained in the GPS and it was monitoring me the quickest route.

Aunt Milly.

I sighed as I might be dealing with with Daisy’s guardian, the previous woman that I noticed on the primary day after I noticed Daisy. It was 2 years in the past and nonetheless, her picture burned behind my thoughts. I shivered after I considered her calculating eyes over me. I do not assume she favored me that a lot.

I used to be wanting forward of the highway earlier than I used to be driving away and I believe I might need to cease for a few miles to refill and perhaps keep the night time. I sighed earlier than I used to be wanting ahead to the subsequent second of my life, asking for a hand of marriage for a lady that I favored and had bedded her.

Hope Aunt Milly wouldn’t be mad.

“Properly, I do not assume I might be seeing you right here, younger man,” the previous woman mentioned as I used to be standing on the porch of her ranch home. I used to be gulping as I did drive for 18 hours with a few pit cease and I used to be wanting like a complete mess.

“What do it’s a must to say for your self?” Aunt Milly requested me. I blinked my eyes at her earlier than I used to be clearing my throat.

“Am I not allowed to be in the home then, Aunt Milly?” I requested her earlier than she scoffed at me. She was opening her door wider to let me step inside. I thanked her earlier than she was guiding me to the lounge.

It was a easy ranch home really, I noticed the hearth and the sofas that had been in entrance of it. I used to be taking a seat earlier than Aunt Milly was going to the kitchen to brew some espresso. After some time, she got here into the lounge earlier than I stood up as she entered.

“Sit, boy. I do know you are exhausted,” she mentioned as she was pouring some scorching espresso into the cup. She gave it to me as I thanked her.

“Thanks,”

She nodded earlier than she settled on the couch that was reverse me. I took a sip of her espresso and it was properly balanced.

“I am certain you are right here to speak about one thing, contemplating how early you might be,” Aunt Milly mentioned as she was wanting on the clock. It was 8 AM. I didn’t sleep your entire means I used to be coming right here. I simply took a nap and I went to drive once more till I arrived just some minutes in the past.

“I need to say, I’m impressed. Nobody would discover this place until they know the place to look,” she mentioned as she was me earlier than she sipped her espresso. Her brown eyes, identical to Daisy’s, had been looking at me over the rim of the cup. I gulped earlier than I put the cup down.

“I’ve include a goal. I hope you’ll hear it till the top,” I mentioned as I used to be her. She arched her eyebrow earlier than she put her cup down.

“Proceed,”

She seemed calm and I used to be a nervous wreck. I can not assume however I do know that I’ve to make the correct selection. Identical to Cam mentioned, personal this shit and be happy with it

“I did one thing horrible to your niece,” I began earlier than Aunt Milly was silent, listening to each phrase I mentioned.

“We had been out one night time and the subsequent factor occurred that result in each other and—”

“Do you even know the place you are going, boy? Simply spit it out already,” she barked at me that made me jumped in my seat. I rubbed my face as I used to be her earlier than I sighed.

“I want to marry your niece,” I mentioned earlier than the silence was there. Aunt Milly didn’t say something as she was me. Merely wanting earlier than she nodded.

“I see. Properly, now that was not so dangerous, is it?” She requested as she was choosing up a biscuit earlier than I used to be her, arching my eyebrows.

“You are not mad?”

“Ah, younger love. What can I say? I used to be as soon as such as you and I believe this would be the neatest thing may ever occur to any lady. Inform me, boy, do you like her?” She requested me as I used to be turning sharply at her. I do know what she noticed in me however she needed me to say it out loud.

“Very a lot and with all my coronary heart,” I mentioned earlier than aunt Milly nodded at me.

“Now, what are you ready for? Go after your love then. However on second thought, I believe you must get some sleep first. You appear to be a large number. You should use Daisy’s room,” she mentioned as she was getting up from the couch.

“Aunt Milly? I do not assume that will be clever—”

“Shut up and simply do what I mentioned you to do. You’ll sleep in your fiancée room and that is that. Finish of the query,” she mentioned as she was ushered me to the room. I used to be about to protest earlier than she closed the door and I used to be wanting across the room. It was good and neat. I can see that Daisy did dwell right here and she or he was a candy woman.

I went to the vainness that she used to make use of when she was on the ranch. I noticed the fragrance that provides the candy floral scent that I favored a lot. It was Daisy by Marc Jacobs. I believe I’ll purchase her rather more of this as I smiled.

Then I frowned as I noticed somebody within the image together with her. It was a boy that was my age when she was a teen. Why would she have this image on the vainness if she didn’t have any emotions for him?

I felt the fury was inside me once more earlier than I used to be taking a deep breath. I’ve to guarantee that I might be calming down earlier than I meet Daisy. Then I noticed the mattress and my eyes mechanically felt heavy. I yawned earlier than I used to be strolling to mattress.

“Properly, I believe some nap wouldn’t damage for now,” I mentioned as I used to be eradicating my footwear earlier than I used to be on the mattress. The second I hit my head on Daisy’s pillow, I used to be out chilly.

After a number of hours of sleeping, I felt energetic earlier than I used to be washing my face and cleaned up my mess. I used to be my shallow face as I used to be smiling at myself.

“Look what you bought your self into, Windell,” I mused earlier than I used to be placing the towel down earlier than I used to be getting out of the lavatory. Aunt Milly was sitting on the mattress earlier than she was handing me out a letter.

“I needed you to have this and perhaps all of the solutions that you’ve accused of Daisy’s father might be answered,” she mentioned earlier than I used to be wanting on the scientific journal of 1 Jayson Will Dyer.

“I do not assume—”

“No, you solely learn one aspect. That will be unfair for Daisy’s father who was additionally your father’s greatest buddy. When you learn each, you’ll perceive them higher of why their relationship goes astray,” aunt Milly mentioned as I used to be her.

“Are you certain I can have this?” I requested as I used to be gripping the journal. She nodded.

“Completely, in spite of everything, Jayson may need his godson to have it in spite of everything. And later once you had been his son-in-law, I solely see it was becoming so that you can have it,” she mentioned earlier than she was out of the room.

“Oh, yet one more factor,” aunt Milly mentioned earlier than she was turning on the door as I checked out her.

“Your barn door was flying open. Make certain to shut it earlier than you go to see Daisy,” Aunt Milly mentioned earlier than she smirked. I checked out my pants and instantly I closed it. I felt blush was creeping on my face earlier than I cleared my throat.
