Chapter 473: Accepting (3)
"I wish we didn’t need to leave the orphanage, but I am glad to be here so I can sleep on a warm bed again," Annalise said, falling back onto the soft mattress of the bed in Rafael’s room.
They had left the orphanage an hour ago and came to the house belonging to the Callahans. Annalise came inside first to get washed up and go to bed while Rafael took all their belongings from the carriage to organise them.
For once Annalise did not mind that Rafael wanted to do most of the work by himself. She was tired after running around playing with the children. The children were so full of energy that it left Annalise feeling jealous as all she wanted to do in the middle of playing was find somewhere to rest.
She was someone to enjoy the outdoors, but Annalise missed a nice warm bed.
Annalise reached for a pillow and pulled it close to her body for her to hug. There was no better feeling than laying around in bed to get some rest. A fire was made and with her stomach already full thanks to the food given to them at the orphanage, she could go right to sleep.
The sooner she got some sleep, the sooner she could go back to the orphanage to give the children their gifts and do the test to see if she was fit to adopt Lydia.
Annalise no longer worried about whether she would make a good mother. Her only concern was sharing that she was from the border.
By now, since there wasn’t a big war at the border, no one should be going around talking about her people. There were more important things to talk about these days like celebrating that the king and queen were expecting a child.
"I should have brought some water in a jug to drink," Annalise muttered, a bit thirsty, but she was too comfortable to move now.
