Chapter 494: Time away (2)
"Edwin! A Callahan carriage is coming through the gates."
"It is? Find Mavis right away," Edwin ordered the maid.
He then rushed to the front door to see who was arriving. Was it Siena or was Beatrice here?
Edwin hurried out the door to be by the carriage door to help whoever was inside. "Young master," he greeted Rafael, surprised to see that he was back. "You have returned."
"It is good to see you, Edwin. I hope you have been well and not working yourself hard to look after the manor," Rafael said as he exited the carriage. He was alone after taking his parents home first.
"I have plenty of experience taking care of the manor so it comes easy to me. I will have a warm bath and food prepared for you right away. Will you be expecting the lady later on?" Edwin questioned about Annalise so he could know if her room needed to be prepared.
"She won’t be here until a week or two has passed," Rafael answered, going around the back of the carriage to the bags.
"You can leave the bags. I will have the maids take them inside so you can wash up. Are there gifts you want me to send to the school here? There is a doll sitting among your bags," Edwin noted.
"No, that is to stay here. I need one of the extra rooms near my own to be emptied and painted a colour suitable for a girl to use. Then start to order furniture a young girl will need. Until it is finished, store the dresses, toys, and everything not belonging to me inside of Annalise’s room," said Rafael.
