The sight that Ian beheld when he looked up made his grin fade as tenderness and awe shook through him. Spread out before him in colorful splendor were the most magnificent flower gardens Ian had ever beheld. The other heirs of Havenhurst might have added stone and mortar to the house, but Elizabeth had given it breathtaking beauty. “When I was young,” she confided softly, looking out at the sloping gardens and the hills beyond, “I used to think this was the most beautiful place on earth.” Feeling a little foolish over her confidences, Elizabeth glanced up at him with an embarrassed smile. “What is the most beautiful place you’ve ever seen?” Dragging his gaze from the beauty of the gardens, Ian looked down at the beauty beside him. “Any place,” he said huskily, “where you are.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Judith McNaught" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/judith-mcnaught/most-of-this-is-my-contribution-to-havenhurst-she-told-him-proudly/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/70b/judith-mcnaught-687_beautiful-place_most-of-this-is-my-contribution-to-haven_681207.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/70b/judith-mcnaught-687_beautiful-place_most-of-this-is-my-contribution-to-haven_681207.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/70b/judith-mcnaught-687_beautiful-place_most-of-this-is-my-contribution-to-haven_681207.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Most of this is my contribution to Havenhurst,” she told him proudly.

With a grin he added, “Besides, as it turned out after our bargaining session, I’m the one who’s governed by all the conditions, not you.” Her sideways glance was filled with laughter. “You were much too lenient at times, you know. Toward the end I was asking for concessions just to see how far you’d go.” Ian, who had been multiplying his fortune for the last four years by buying shipping and import-export companies, as well as sundry others, was regarded as an extremely tough negotiator. He heard her announcement with a smile of genuine surprise. “You gave me the impression that every single concession was of paramount importance to you, and that if I didn’t agree, you might call the whole thing off.” She nodded with satisfaction. “I rather thought that was how I ought to do it. Why are you laughing?” “Because,” he admitted, chuckling, “obviously I was not in my best form yesterday. In addition to completely misreading your feelings, I managed to buy a house on Promenade Street for which I will undoubtedly pay five times its worth.” “Oh, I don’t think so,” she said, and, as if she was embarrassed and needed a way to avoid meeting his gaze, she reached up and pulled a leaf off an overhanging branch. In a voice of careful nonchalance, she explained, “In matters of bargaining, I believe in being reasonable, but my uncle would assuredly have tried to cheat you. He’s perfectly dreadful about money.” Ian nodded, remembering the fortune Julius Cameron had gouged out of him in order to sign the betrothal agreement. “And so,” she admitted, uneasily studying the azure-blue sky with feigned absorption, “I sent him a note after you left itemizing all the repairs that were needed at the house. I told him it was in poor condition and absolutely in need of complete redecoration.” “And?” “And I told him you would consider paying a fair price for the house, but not one shilling more, because it needed all that.” “And?” Ian prodded. “He has agreed to sell it for that figure.” Ian’s mirth exploded in shouts of laughter. Snatching her into his arms, he waited until he could finally catch his breath, then he tipped her face up to his. “Elizabeth,” he said tenderly, “if you change your mind about marrying me, promise me you’ll never represent the opposition at the bargaining table. I swear to God, I’d be lost.” The temptation to kiss her was almost overwhelming, but the Townsende coach with its ducal crest was in the drive, and he had no idea where their chaperones might be. Elizabeth noticed the coach, too, and started toward the house. \"About the gowns,\" she said, stopping suddenly and looking up at him with an intensely earnest expression on her beautiful face. \"I meant to thank you for your generosity as soon as you arrived, but I was so happy to-that is-\" She realized she'd been about to blurt out that she was happy to see him, and she was so flustered by having admitted aloud what she hadn't admitted to herself that she completely lost her thought. \"Go on,\" Ian invited in a husky voice. \"You were so happy to see me that you-\" \"I forgot,\" she admitted lamely.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Judith McNaught" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/judith-mcnaught/what-is-the-most-beautiful-place-you-ve-ever-seen-dragging-his-gaze/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/83a/judith-mcnaught-687_bargaining_what-is-the-most-beautiful-place-you-ve_3111697.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/83a/judith-mcnaught-687_bargaining_what-is-the-most-beautiful-place-you-ve_3111697.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/83a/judith-mcnaught-687_bargaining_what-is-the-most-beautiful-place-you-ve_3111697.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“What is the most beautiful place you’ve ever seen?” Dragging his gaze from the beauty of the gardens, Ian…” — Judith McNaught", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/beautiful-place/judith-mcnaught/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/beautiful-place/judith-mcnaught/", "name": "Beautiful place Quotes by Judith McNaught", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/beautiful-place/judith-mcnaught/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/70b/judith-mcnaught-687_beautiful-place_most-of-this-is-my-contribution-to-haven_681207.png" }, "description": "3 Beautiful place quotes by Judith McNaught.
