All the Things You Never Knew - By Angealica Hewley Page 0,107

cut her off from saying what she’s about to say. She didn’t understand why, but didn’t bother to ask.

“Yes, a few constructions would be coming,” said Namine. “I hope you enjoy the last few days. It’s probably going to be about a month or two.”

“Yeah, but I really hope you get it done soon so we can return,” said the boy. “I can’t really stand being homeschooled.”

“I understand,” Namine said. “But remember, Headmaster and us were all homeschooled here. You all had a more diverse experience.”

Oh, yes, Leon had told her stories long ago of his parents being their only teachers that brought them up in life.

They must have been a loving intelligent family.

She wonders if the school makes them sad at all. It sure seems to her that every part of it has a memory of their parents imprinted on it. She shouldn’t have made them take her out here, though they all seem very comfortable.

But deep down she knew that they all still hold a grief for what happened to their parents. Some memories can heal with time, but some would remain a scar that stays forever within you.

She knows this well, for the death of her mother had imprinted on her with the same effect. Her life had been a boring hell until Leon came along and shine down the light on her.

When he left, she felt that same effect closing in once more and thought never to be happy again. She hadn’t even been that happy with Marcus. She tried to by seeking Leon in him, but it was never the same.

Susannah was so right. She feels guilty for having to always argue with her about it.

Whenever she returns to London, she’s going to thank Susannah for everything she had done. She was the best of friends Rose has ever had who was always patient and supporting of her decisions, well, not all her decisions. If Susannah had supported the decision of her marrying Marcus, she’ll be in total disaster right now. She wouldn’t even have the chance with Leon and meeting his wonderful family again. For that, she’s totally grateful. She will make sure Susannah finds her true love one day and experience the same feelings that she does when she’s with Leon.

Miss Lavender suggested that they visit the conservatory next and this time it was filled with young ladies only.

“Can you believe this was Sheik’s idea to have only ladies tend to flowers when some of the young gentlemen wanted to?” said Namine.

No, Rose would never think of it.

“He said it’s a feminine job and that all men would be emasculated if they touch flowers so he told Leon not to let any man in here.”

“He even said that the ugly flowers are the one that men touched,” Lavender laughed. “Foolish brother.”

“He wouldn’t even let Avange in here sometimes because she dresses like a man,” Phoenix put in, waving to one of the lady pupil.

Boy, Leon’s family sure is interesting.

The Heartily Sisters introduced Rose to the pupils and they all squeal with excitements when Phoenix said that she’s to become their future sister-in-law.

“Oh, you’re so beautiful,” one of them commented. “Headmaster Heartily is so lucky to have you.”

They move on to the next section of the school after a few minutes in the conservatory and brought out an assortment of flowers. They went to the room where Leon aided with hairstyling and all got their hairs done with the flowers they gathered on their head.

“Don’t tell Leon we brought you down here,” said Lavender after they got out. “He said he never wanted to ever let his wife see the place and have her think wrong of him. It was mother’s fault that he gained those hairstyling skills. He said it took away all his dignity. Although I think it’ll come in handy for you, Lady Rose, once you two are wedded. You don’t need a maid to do your hair ever again. My brother can manage it.”

Rose beamed at the idea of Leon dressing her hair every morning. It brought her thoughts back to the inn when he had saved her and helped her dress her hair. He’s certainly one out of a million.

“Okay, this is Avangelene’s section of the school,” Namine told her as they got down to the last of the school through a series of spiral stairs. “Upstairs is for all the pupils of the ages thirteen to twenty-one. Down here, well…” she stopped and set her hands on the
