Chapter 115: Gentle touch (1)
Henry tried to catch his breath as he looked up at Rafael who seemed surprised by what he did. He did not want to hear any apology from Rafael. The deed was already done and Rafael had made an enemy out of him. There would be no striving for peace in the future since Rafael had disrespected two Harrisons.
Henry just wanted to get out of there now, but he feared having to pass Rafael to get out.
The door of Rafael’s study was opened by Edwin. The butler feared that the silence meant Rafael was trying to kill the man and to avoid having the town guards in the manor to inspect a death, he opened the door to save Mr. Harrison.
"Breakfast is ready," Edwin announced. He feared his thoughts about Rafael killing the man was true since Henry was breathing heavily below Rafael who was silent. He came just at the right time. "Young master," he said.
"I will be there shortly. Have him escorted out of the manor right now. I have given him enough warnings to leave so if he does not move when you ask, have some of the knights put him in the dungeon," Rafael said as he walked out of the room. "Lock the door when you are finished."
He had to get out of his study since seeing Henry still angered him. He just might kill him if they stayed in the same room.
Rafael now wondered why the two families had been friends for so long when Henry was like this.
Instead of going straight to the dining room to have breakfast, Rafael went to his bedroom where he left Annalise. No matter how you thought about it, this was her fault. Not what happened with Delilah, but having him speak to Henry.
Rafael slowed down as the realisation of something hit him. He had gone against his decision to not speak to Henry just to get a favour from Annalise. He already knew the conversation with Henry would do nothing to help with getting Delilah from going after Annalise, yet he still went to speak with Henry and ruined his morning. All he got in return was Annalise owing him something.
