Chapter 213: Flowers (1)
Siena smiled despite the fact Rafael was not happy to see her. She was surprised to learn from Wendy that the Callahans had arrived and they would be coming here. She had been patiently waiting for their arrival since Travis sent her here.
Rafael would not believe her, but she did not come here to see him. She only wanted to speak to Wendy to help the days go by quickly.
"I thought Lady Wendy could use some company so I paid her a visit. I did not know that your family would be here," Siena answered.
Beatrice looked back and forth between Rafael and the young lady she did not know. "It seems the rest of us are left out. How do you know each other?" She asked.
"I first met your son at the competition for knights. We didn’t have the best first meeting, but I was able to give him a charm. I have loved stories told about the Callahan knights. I didn’t get to stay long that day since I had to travel here," Siena explained, hoping that Rafael knowing she was here before him would get rid of suspicion.
Siena looked beside Rafael at the maid. Now she had to believe that this was Rafael’s lover. A small hindrance in the plans for their wedding. Travis would want the maid dead if he were to learn about her. Siena wanted to tell her to run, but then she would have to reveal her engagement sooner than she wanted.
Wendy was happy to hear that Siena and Rafael already knew each other. "Now that the Callahans are here, you can stay to hear more stories. Then, do you know the young lady with them?" She asked, looking at Annalise.
Wendy noticed how Annalise’s dress stood out amongst the four women here. Not that it was beautiful, but because of the faded colour. She started to wonder if someone from the orphanage was staying with them or if she had mistaken Beatrice’s maid for a woman Rafael was courting.
"I remember clearly that she is Rafael’s maid," Siena answered.
