Chapter 415: Like looking into a mirror (2)
"How did we get here?" Alessandra questioned Rafael who sat behind her. "I will try to stop Edgar before he does something to worry you."
Rafael sat with folded arms, watching Annalise and Edgar stand beside each other. Like Alessandra, he didn’t know how they reached this point for him to be here and Annalise to be over there. He thought about Alessandra’s words and wanted to offer the same advice.
"She is no different from Edgar. I need to stop her before she does something to worry you," Rafael replied.
"Oh. So we’ve both picked people who need to be kept an eye on," Alessandra realised, liking that they had something in common. "We are the calm ones in our relationships. You’ve long prepared for this since you have been Edgar’s friend."
Rafael looked away from Annalise to the duchess. She was so quiet that he couldn’t believe how well she put up with Edgar’s antics. "Does Edgar not worry you? You seem to have gotten used to him quite fast."
"Well, we’ve been married enough for what he does or says to not bother me. I know when he is teasing me or being serious. I can help others who take his teasing words seriously. I think from the beginning I got used to Edgar quickly. There were many moments when he said something and I could not believe how bold he was," Alessandra said, smiling as she thought of the past.
She instantly thought of Edgar telling her that he could get her pregnant fast the same night they got married.
"I love his personality. I will admit there are times I just want to clamp my hand over his mouth to stop him from talking. Recently, the only thing that concerns me is him getting rid of Tobias for mentioning our children marrying each other. I believe this is the one time Edgar would attempt to kill Tobias and I don’t want the guards after my husband," said Alessandra.
Rafael believed that Edgar would strangle Tobias if he were to ever propose that their children get married in an official decree or have Edgar’s daughter, should he have any, have to take part in the selection.
