Chapter 103: Bastard (1)
Annalise bit her tongue. She wanted to try one, but she had no money to buy one since she did not think they would be here in the market. She could not have Rafael buy it since she had asked him to stop treating her well when there were so many eyes watching.
There were many young women who stopped to watch him and Annalise knew that just like Delilah, they hated the sight of a woman around him.
"I will buy one next time-"
"Give me ten of them," Rafael told the man. He crossed his arms to wait for them to be made and placed a stick for him to hold. The sight of the sugar did not excite him so he looked away to not watch it be placed on the apple.
"I only have one mouth. I do not know what you think of me, young master, but I can not possibly eat ten apples full of sugar on the outside," Annalise said.
"They are not all for you. One is more than enough for one person. I am solving your problem," Rafael said, taking the first apple and handing it to a lady walking by him with her maid right beside her. "Have an apple."
The lady blushed and gladly accepted the apple from Rafael. She watched him hand one to her maid and thought he was trying to court her. She waited for something more to be said by him, but the seconds passed and nothing more was said to her.
Annalise smacked her face. She understood what Rafael was doing, but he would have the young woman misunderstand his actions. "Young master," Annalise sighed. "You should know the young ladies will think more of you giving them an apple. They will think you are trying to court them."
"That is why I am giving an apple to whoever passes by. Here," Rafael said, handing the third apple to a man who was puzzled by the gift.
