Chapter 349: Secrets (2)
"I am trying to help you, Siena. To free you from having to face a mistress in the future. I will forgive you for not telling me how close he was with the maid as long as you give me the name," Travis said, allowing her to redeem herself.
Siena wanted to avoid dragging Annalise into this. She couldn’t understand how someone watching them during the trip could think Annalise and Rafael had a relationship. It wasn’t like they acted in love when they were walking around unless there was something she missed.
"Rafael did have a maid during our trip, but I don’t think she is someone he is seeing. A maid of all-"
"It is nothing new. As a man, I know better than you do and from what I was told, I should keep an eye on this maid. The woman he was spotted with at the festival never came out of the manor, the woman I sent to find her failed, and now a maid travelled with him out of town, sticking close to him. Don’t tell me that you failed to see something between them?" Travis said, amused by how women never noticed the obvious.
It was nothing new for men to make more use of their maids. Brave women would take their servant boys to bed.
"Because it looked like it was just a servant walking around with the person she served. I would have told you if I suspected he was seeing his maid because it would ruin my engagement. I spent time with Rafael and even went to a ball with him. If not for us being attacked, I would have spent more time with him," Siena replied.
Travis leaned back in his chair. "So, are you trying to say it is my fault that your precious day was ruined? I still have the task of collecting my sister. It is only so long the madhouse can keep her room empty. So, tell me again, does this maid have a close relationship with my nephew and what is her name? I know you are hiding something from me."
"You know that I like you, but if you continue to lie to me I will have no choice but to force what you know out of you. Do you wish to have your husband running from your bed to a maid at night? Speak up now so I can help you. Why are you reluctant to tell me about this maid?" Travis asked, staring at Siena for her to break.
"What did you discuss with my nephew when you were out of my sight?"
