Chapter 4 - Chapter Four

Back at the Lancaster mansion,

Micheal takes Noah to her room. Lays her on her bed, gently takes off her shoes and adjust the mattress so she would not catch cold. But he notices something on the left part of her underarm.

A unique and rare type of tattoo. He stares for too long trying to get a grasp of how she has the tattoo. She suddenly moves still deep in her slumber. 

He immediately realizes what he was doing and leaves.

By morning, Noah woke up with a terrible headache, walks down to the dinning and sees Micheal. "Good morning." He says sweetly. The shock on her face shows she doesn't remember what happened last night. "Good morning." She responded. 

Celine and Blackwood were already at the table eating breakfast. Laughing at old folk jokes. 

"Micheal, remember what today is right?."

Blackwood asks.

"How could I forget?!"

"You should take Noah along."

Shocked by the sudden request. Micheal sluggishly agrees.

"Wait what?. I don't even know where you're going."

"You'll find out soon enough. Meet me down in 30mins."

About 25mins later Noah was already at the stables waiting for Micheal to come out of the house. "You're quite early." Micheal cheekily says. Expecting the rage bait to work. "I hate to keep anyone waiting." "Unlike you, who leaves people and walks away." Noah added bluntly. That surely hit a nerve. He just kept quiet and fetched the horses. 

"You think that joke was funny though?" 

"Oh yes it was." "You're still talking about it, means it did."

"I'm just trying to lecture you that no everyone accepts rage-baiting jokes." Micheal was clearly on edge. But now wasn't the time to lash out. Not at all. Today was an important day and he can't afford to spoil it for himself. 

He gave her a horse and mounted on his allowing the stable boy to help Noah figure out hers. 

"No worries. I can handle it." She climbs on the horse with ease. Making Micheal to show a smile of contentment and satisfaction. 

They rode their horses to the outskirts of town and old mansion house. Well built, cleaned and well taken cared of. "The important day was to come visit one of your girlfriends?." "Can this day get any better?." 

Just before then a young beautiful lad in a beige dress runs out of the house to hug Micheal. She had long chestnut hair and hazel eyes just like Micheal. Noah was ready to jump into that conclusion when an older woman walks in. She looked like someone in her 40's. 

Ohhh dear

I must have gotten lots of bullshit in my head. 

"You must be Noah." Renae says gesturing for a handshake with Noah. 

"Yes,yes I am."

"Oh my bad. Noah this is my mom,Renae and my little sister Anastasia." Micheal told Noah.

"Hello there, I'm Anastasia but you can call me Ana." Anastasia says with a bright smile on her face. 

"It is nice to meet you, Ana." "And Mrs…"

"No, miss." Renae corrected.

"Miss?"

"Yes. She and my dad are not together anymore. They got divorced."

Ohh shit.
