Chapter 286: Lockwood (2)
"So, you are married now. Is this some sort of miracle, or love at first sight which would also be a miracle for you?" Rafael asked, still finding it hard to believe that Edgar had gotten married. The only reason he didn’t think Edgar was toying with him was because of a letter Tobias sent complaining about Edgar’s choice of a wife
"Congratulations by the way. I would apologise for not attending, but I was not sent an invitation."
"No one was. It does not matter how I came to be married. All that matters is that I am married. Should we ever care to do a proper wedding you will receive an invitation or you should finally grow some balls and marry the maid you have been having trouble with, we can all attend a wedding," said Edgar, watching how Rafael looked away like he had something to hide.
When he left Rafael’s manor, Edgar thought it wouldn’t be long before Rafael would be with the maid. Anyone who was using a snake to scare others was worth marrying. Knowing Rafael, Edgar didn’t think it would be this hard to get the maid to like him. Rafael never had an issue with getting women.
Now Edgar wondered if he should have stayed to play matchmaker to get the two together. It would have been entertaining to see Rafael act as if he wasn’t attracted to his maid, especially after what Rafael would say over and over again about not wanting to be with any of his servants.
Rafael didn’t see a wedding in his future anytime soon when he was still getting to know more about Annalise and he was starting to worry about her coming back to the manor. She was acting strangely and the more he thought about it, the more he worried that she might not be returning.
"It is complicated. More complicated than going out on a battlefield," Rafael replied.
He listened to Edgar laughing at him. Either pitying him or enjoying that he had joined in acting like a fool for a woman. Now he wished that Edagr knew nothing about Annalise.
’`It will get better or not," said Edgar, patting Rafael’s back to cheer him up. He was somewhere in Rafael’s state since Alessandra made him act unlike himself sometimes. "It is amusing to hear that you are trying to woe a woman. They are normally ready to jump into your bed so you never had to do much courting."
