Episode 17

Amelia hugged him from the back, hoping that Luther would be surprised. Instead, he turned around to her and said teasingly as he leans closer towards her face,"Were you going to surprise me?"

Having Luther's face too close to hers, Amelia couldn't help but flushed,"Yeah, but I guess you are not surprised...ha ha...", she awkwardly said as she still clearly remembered what they did the previous night.

Luther grinned in satisfaction as he knew what she was thinking of, after all it was all written on her face,"Let's eat, you must be hungry... after all the 'work'~"

Amelia face flustered even more,"Alright! Let's eat!!"

Luther chuckled seeing her expressions, and they continued eating their breakfast.

In the village, there was a rumor going on. The new couple in the woods were not aware of the rumor. Well, it wasn't a kind of big deal of rumor, just that it might be a little unpleasant for Amelia to hear...

Some villagers saw Michael returning late at night from the woods. The villagers were aware of their friendship but a man and a woman, who just matured, being friends seemed quite suspicious to them.

Seeing Michael late at night, returning from the woods, the villagers couldn't help but think that the two of them have some kind of relationship. Of course they won't mind even if they had a relationship....but.... being conservative, they whispered behind their backs saying that it was inappropriate to meet at night and all.

Unaware of all these rumors, Amelia left her house and went towards the village to shop for groceries.

She was smiling brightly, and her mood was great with Luther in her little head.

She reached the village and as she was going towards Michael's shop, she heard some people talking.

"Hey! Isn't that the girl that lives in the forest?! Oh my, her audacity to come here, looking all innocent!"

"But is it really true that she is a witch? I heard that she bewitch Michael into falling for her!"

"Oh God, that's scary! I always find her suspicious from the beginning!"

"We should distance ourselves from her lest we get affected by her!"

Of course, they all whispered, but it was still audible to Amelia. She had no idea that the villagers were talking about her.

After a while of walking, she reached Michael's shop where she saw Michael being scolded by Madam Suzlon, Michael's mother.

As soon as Madam Suzlon saw Amelia she sighed and waved at her to come fast. Amelia walked faster towards them and stood outside the store. She first greeted madam Suzlon with a bright smile.

*

Madam Suzlon was Amelia's mother friend. They were quite close and Suzlon also think of Amelia as her own daughter.

**

seeing Amelia smile brightly, Madam Suzlon was sure that she was not aware of the rumors going on in the village.

She quickly took her hand and brought her inside the store.

"Amelia, haven't you heard anything as you walked here?", asked madam Suzlon worriedly. Michael was also standing near his mother.
