Chapter 117 - Becky's Sense of Smell (1)

Mark still couldn't find his necklace.

So after the meeting, he rushed to the other side of the Caspian Castle to search for the necklace again. He search at the place where he had not been there yet.

Mark search at the first garden in the South Tower and he couldn't find the necklace.

And then he moved again to the other garden. Mark who entered for the first time at that garden were so shocked because he never saw these garden before.

It has two small ponds which have numerous water lily planted there. There are only two types of colour of the water lily which is, pink and purple.

The koi fish also swimming happily in the water, making the scenery of the pond become more interesting.

Mark sighed for a bit. He was uncertain if his necklace was here because he never went here.

But Mark still want to find the necklace here. Because the necklace might be hidden at these garden.

While Mark were searching for the necklace, he doesn't stop thinking on how Mr. Benedict and the other workers can still maintain this Caspian Castle at its good condition even though the Castle already thousands of years old.

This Caspian Castle is so large and huge, cleaning all over the area could take a month time and also need a lot of workers.

Mark search behind the rock, none.

He search behind the tree, none.

He search again behind the flowers pots, still none.

Mark hopelessly squatting on the panic grass. He holds on to his hair, turning low-spirited instantly.

"Where should I find that necklace again??" said Mark sadly.

He really loves that necklace and he treasured it very much. It was the last gift from his mother and he wants to keep it with him forever.

Once his mother had said, "If you ever found your lover and you really love them, give this necklace to her. Then, you two will never be apart even for centuries. If you separated with each other, you will find your way and eventually but surely you will be together again."

"Now, how am I supposed to give my future wife if I lost that necklace already? I am really reckless, why I cannot keep that treasurer forever!" mumbled Mark with his eyes started to get teary.

Other than Mark, there was also another people inside the garden and she is Becky.

In the first place, Becky went to these garden to take a nap because no one would disturb her there. When she wants to close her eyes, Becky heard someone crying.

When Becky look for the owner of the sad voice, Becky saw Mark squatting on the grass while mumbling about something which she doesn't understand.

She feel lazy to know what happened to Mark so she decided to watch out what Mark is doing. Becky saw Mark were wandering all over the area while searching for something and he looks like a crazy person walking all around like that.

After a while, Becky decided to help Mark who look terrible and upset.

She walked toward Mark and gently patted his shoulder.

Mark who didn't realise that Becky were there all the time, feels shocked and automatically, he flinched over and he turned around with a pale face like he was just saw a ghost.

"Becky, you startled me!" said Mark.

"Sorry,I thought you know I was here," said Becky apologetically. "What are looking for? You seems like searching for something?"

"I lost my necklace… And I want to find it."

Necklace? He has a necklace??

Becky nodded again when she know what Mark was looking for. Lost things? Suddenly Becky remembered about her new ability… She knows that her new ability might help Mark to locate his lost necklace.

"Well, I might be able to help you.. I can smell pretty well.. You know!" said Becky.

"You cannot find it just by smell its scent, Becky. You have to find it by using hands," said Mark again hopelessly.

He doesn't have any energy anymore to find his necklace. What Becky says only make his hope going down.

"No, I can really help you searching for it. I just need to know what kind of scent your necklace is," said Becky again.

Mark doesn't know about her ability yet, so of course he would be doubtful about her ability. But Becky would not surrender until Mark agreed to let her help him.

"You're funny, Becky… No one knows where it lost only by its scent. Don't make me laugh, Becky… I don't have time for jokes," said Mark. He turned away from Becky's gaze and try to search again.

Becky sniffed annoyingly. She hates it when Mark turn down her offer to help him. She being a kind-hearted girl already to help him. If Becky doesn't have any mood now, she won't sacrifice her times for Mark.

Seeing Mark really doesn't want her help, instead he was searching for another area again, Becky pulled Mark's back collar with a strong energy toward her.

Mark was shocked when his body suddenly pulled to the back again by someone. He almost fell to the grass if he didn't use his other leg to maintain his gravity.

"Can you just listen to me, dimwit!!! I want to help you!!" said Becky to Mark's left ear. Since Mark is taller than Becky, Becky has to pulled Mark's collar again to make sure his face is in the same level like her. That making Mark bend down to the back for a bit.

Mark startled again when Becky speak to his ear. He can feel Becky's face close to Mark's face too. Too close, even if Mark turned around a bit, he sure Becky's lips could touch his cheeks in no time.

"Fine, but let me go first. My back hurts because I bend too long!" said Mark.

Becky look at Mark's condition and she quickly released Mark. She doesn't realise that her height causing Mark to bend to the back too low.

"Sorry," murmured Becky while lowering her head and hold her hands together. She didn't mean it to hurt Mark.

But Mark still could hear it even though Becky just murmuring and he found it cute when Becky act like a little child who admit her mistake.

Mark smile gently as he stroke Becky's hair with a gentle care. "No, it's okay."

Becky put her hand where Mark stroked her hair while she stared at Mark with her innocent-looked eyes. And that's what Mark likes more about her.

She being cute from time to time again.

"So, you want to help you, right? How do you want to help me?" asked Mark. Because of his attention focused on Becky's cute act, he almost forgot about the necklace.

"I have a pretty good smelling, so I think I can help you. But first, I need the scent of your necklace to trace it," said Becky.

"But I don't have the trace---"

"Wait for a minute."

Mark suddenly turned froze when Becky suddenly stand on her tiny cute tiptoes and smell around Mark's neck. Becky also put her both hands onto Mark's shoulder to support her body since her height is not in the same number like Mark.

When Becky touched his shoulder and closed her eyes to detect the scent around Mark's neck, Mark could sense a sweet scent from Becky: a scent of apples.

Mark never knew the scent of apples could be this sweet until he smell it from Becky.

Mark look down again and he saw the soft and silky black hair. There was a kind of magnet inside Mark that give him a strong desire, making him wanted to touch that hair.

After Becky done, she takes a step back and look at her left. She start to sniffed softly and closed her eyes again. When Becky opened her eyes, she already knows where she needs to find that necklace.

Becky look at Mark with a happy smile. "I found it!"

Mark turned dumbfounded for a while. He was to mesmerising the moment a minutes ago until he forgets what was Becky's real intention to take a step closer to him.

"Huh??"

Becky clicked her tongue in annoyance when Mark showed his dumb expression. But she doesn't know that Marl actually still inside his own imagination.

Becky hold Mark's hand and she pulled Mark to the other place.

This time they enter a big wooden house with many types of trees around the house.

Inside the wooden house, there was a garden with many types of flowers planted there.

Mark and Becky look around. They were captivated by the beautiful panorama. If a couple wants to spend time together, this is the most perfect place to go.

"Wow!" said Mark.
