Chapter 440: A day of surprises (2)
"Why do you look so distracted, Annalise? You are giving us a tour. Is there something else you want to do?" Heidi questioned since Annalise looked lost in thought.
"No, I am happy to show you around. I am just a little suspicious of Rafael not coming to see me at breakfast. What could he possibly have been doing? Did my father tie him up somewhere?" Annalise muttered, seriously considering it as something Phillip would do.
She should have gone to check on him so she wouldn’t be so worried now.
"From where I sat, I thought your father liked Rafael. Maybe he wanted to leave you alone because he knew you were going to take us around? Are you upset that you didn’t get your morning kiss?" Heidi asked, teasing Annalise.
"Maybe," Annalise answered. He was all touchy last night and now nowhere to be seen in the morning.
"Wow," Heidi replied, her jaw close to dropping because of Annalise’s honesty. "I would have never imagined the two of you doing such a thing and you miss it. How dare he not come to kiss you? Do you want me to go have a word with him? Though I can’t say much because he is my employer."
"I can change that. If you were willing to move here, you could work for me. It is something you would need to consider in the future anyway because Rafael will move here unless you want to be one of the few who will stay behind to take care of the old manor for when we visit it," said Annalise.
"I have not made my decision. I was going to decide after a look around the town today to see if I can live here until the new town goes up. I wouldn’t mind living somewhere new though my family wouldn’t follow me. I’m not going to try to convince them because I am at the age to go off on my own to find where I want to settle down. It would be nice if I had someone else to spend time with at home," said Heidi.
She had been so distracted with all that was happening with Annalise that she didn’t continue her search for a good man.
